Abstract: A container treatment apparatus includes a transport apparatus for transporting containers along a predetermined transport path, wherein the transport apparatus has at least one transport device (100) for transporting the containers (100) and at least one container treatment device (150) for treating the container in a predetermined manner, wherein the transport devices include a rotatable carrier on which a plurality of holding elements (40) for holding at least one container is arranged. The container treatment device is arranged to treat the containers transported by the transport device and the holding element is rotatable such that the container held by the holding element is rotatable with respect to its longitudinal direction and the container treatment apparatus includes a monitoring device for monitoring the rotational movement of the containers.

Abstract: A machine for expanding plastic parisons into plastic containers by a liquid medium with at least two transforming stations. These transforming stations fill and expand the plastic parisons with the liquid medium, with at least one pressure generating device. This pressure generating device is suitable and intended to deliver the liquid medium to at least one filling device which fills the plastic parisons with the liquid medium, wherein at least one shut-off device is installed in at least one connection channel between the pressure generating device and the filling device, inside which the liquid medium is conveyed. This shut-off device is configured and provided in order that a fluid path inside the connection conduit can be at least partially interrupted.
