    Abstract: A machine and method for forming containers from preforms. The machine includes a mold loading station for loading successive preforms into successive molds, each mold forming a mold cavity having the shape of the container to be produced. The machine also including a forming station for forming the containers by injecting a gaseous or liquid fluid into the preform contained in each mold in order to expand the preform such that each preform acquires the shape of the container defined by the mold cavity. In the machine, the mold loading station and the forming station are distinct from each other, and the machine further includes a transferring station arranged between the mold loading station and the forming station for transferring the successive molds containing the preforms from the mold loading station to the forming station.

    Abstract: A forming station comprising a source of pressurized forming fluid, and an injection device comprising an inlet, in fluidic communication with the source of pressurized forming fluid, and an outlet in fluidic communication with the inlet and through which the forming fluid is intended to be injected in the preform and further comprising a stretch rod movable in translation according to the axis of the stretch rod relative to the outlet and arranged to assist the axial deformation of the preform during a stretching phase. The forming station further comprises a vibratory device connected to the stretch rod, arranged to vibrate the stretch rod when said vibratory device is actuated, and a control device arranged to actuate the vibratory device during at least a part of the stretching phase.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing plastic containers in which, for each container, a plastic preform containing air is supplied; the preform is heated at a preform temperature over the glass temperature of the preform material, the preform is inserted in a mold having a mold cavity; and the preform is expanded to a container having the shape of a mold cavity by a forming liquid. The method also includes, between steps (b) and (d), the injecting of a gaseous product into the preform containing air, wherein the gaseous product is absorbable by the forming liquid. The injection conditions of the gaseous product are selected such that the injected gaseous product expels the air out of the preform.

    Abstract: A method for forming containers from preforms. The method includes loading successive preforms into successive molds at a mold loading station, each mold having a mold cavity in the shape of the containers to be produced. The containers being formed in a forming station by injecting a gaseous or liquid fluid into the preform in order to expand the preform and acquires the shape of the container defined by the mold cavity. The steps performed at the mold loading station and the forming station are distinct from each other, and a transferring step occurs at a transferring station arranged between the mold loading station and the forming station where successive molds containing the preforms are transferred from the mold loading station to the forming station.

    Abstract: A rotary apparatus for hydraulic forming of shaped containers including a rotatable forming wheel having a central axis of rotation and a plane of rotation perpendicular to the axis of rotation. A plurality of forming stations is supported by the forming wheel. The forming stations are operable to expand a preform into a shaped container by forcing a liquid into the preform. The longitudinal axis of each forming station forms an angle with the plane of rotation of the forming wheel of less than 20° while the preform is being expanded. The projection of the longitudinal axis of each forming stations onto the plane of rotation of the forming wheel forms an angle with the radial direction at the position of the forming station of less than 20° while the preform is being expanded.
