Abstract:
A plastics material container, in particular for beverages, with an aperture by way of which a liquid is capable of being removed from the container, with a main body adjoining this aperture in a longitudinal direction and a base portion adjoining this main body in this longitudinal direction, wherein the base portion has at least three stand feet, wherein external surfaces of these stand feet in each case form a stand portion of the plastics material container extending in sections in the form of an annular segment over a pre-set circumferential angle and wherein at least three grooves are formed between these stand feet, wherein these grooves extend at least also in a radial direction of the plastics material container which is at a right angle to the longitudinal direction, wherein these grooves have in each case a groove bottom which extends at least also in the radial direction as well as a wall portion which extends at least also from this groove bottom to a stand portion of a stand foot adjacent to this groove bottom.
Abstract:
A method for forming plastic preforms into plastic bottles, wherein the plastic preforms are transported along a predefined transport path by a transport device in a plurality of forming stations arranged on the transport device, and at least at times during the transport, bombarded with a fluid medium for their expansion, wherein the plastic preforms in a first method step are bombarded by the fluid medium at a first pressure (p1) and in a further method step, temporally following the first method step, bombarded with the fluid medium at a second pressure (p2), wherein the second pressure (p2) is higher than the first pressure (p1). At least at times during the bombardment of the plastic preforms at the first pressure (p1), a volume flow of the fluid medium entering the container is increased.
