Abstract: Method for forming plastic preforms (10) into plastic containers (20), wherein at least one and preferably a plurality of forming stations (4) for forming the plastic preforms (10) into the plastic containers (20) is arranged on a movable carrier (2) and these forming stations (4) are moved along a predetermined transport path at least temporarily during the forming process, wherein the forming stations (4) each have blow mould arrangements (6), wherein blow mould parts (62, 64) of these blow mould arrangements (6) are moved for opening and closing the blow mould arrangements (6), and in a closed state of the blow mould arrangement (6) in a cavity formed by the blow mould parts (62, 64) the plastic preforms (10) are formed into the plastic containers (20) by being acted upon by a flowable medium, wherein at least temporarily a value characteristic of the forming station (4) and/or of the blow mould arrangement (6) being measured by means of a measuring device (8). According to the invention, the measurement is carried out by means of a measuring device (8) not arranged on the blow mould arrangement (6).

Abstract: Apparatus for producing plastic containers has a heating device having a transport device for transporting the plastic preforms singly along a predefined transport path. The transport device has a plurality of holding devices for holding the plastic preforms, and at least one heating unit for heating the plastic preforms, wherein furthermore a rotating device is provided which rotates the plastic preforms held by the holding devices and is connected to a forming device, which transforms the plastic preforms transported by the heating device into plastic containers. The apparatus has an alignment device which enables alignment of the rotational position of the plastic preforms with respect to their longitudinal direction relative to the holding devices holding these plastic preforms and/or the apparatus has a rotational position alignment device arranged along the transport path which enables alignment of a rotational position of the holding devices with the plastic preforms arranged thereon.

Abstract: Method for operating an apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, wherein in a working mode a plurality of forming stations are moved along a predetermined transport path by a movable carrier, wherein these forming stations in each case having blow mould arrangements which in a closed state in each case form cavities, within which the plastic preforms are formed into the plastic containers and the plastic preforms are supplied to these forming stations in order to be formed by supplying a flowable medium to the plastic containers, wherein this forming takes place at least temporarily during the transport of the forming stations along the transport path, and wherein at least temporarily at least components of the blow moulding arrangement are tempered. At least parts of the blow mould are pre-heated in a standstill of the carrier or a movement of the carrier, which is slower with respect to a movement of the carrier in the working mode.
