Abstract: Disclosed is a method for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, wherein a preform is expanded into the container by exposure to a flowable medium, wherein the flowable medium is stored under a first pressure in a first pressure reservoir and is stored under a second pressure higher than the first pressure in a second pressure reservoir, and the preform is subjected to first and second blowing pressures via a flow connection between the first and second pressure reservoirs, respectively. The preform and at least at times, the flowable medium is returned to the first pressure reservoir, wherein first values characteristic of the action of the flowable medium on the preforms are predetermined, wherein taking into account the first values, second values are determined which are characteristic for a period of time of the return of the flowable medius into the first pressure reservoir.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers having a transport device which transports the preforms to be formed along a predetermined transport path, wherein the transport device has a rotatable transport carrier on which a plurality of forming stations are arranged which each have a blow-molding device within which the preforms can be formed into the containers. The forming stations each have a pressurizing device which pressurizes the preforms with a flowable medium, i.e., compressed air, wherein the pressurizing device subjects the preforms to a preblowing pressure, at least one and preferably two intermediate blowing pressures, and a final blowing pressure. The apparatus has a detection device which is configured for detecting at least one value characteristic of the plastic container, wherein depending on this value characteristic of the container, the duration of the pressure rise time of at least one intermediate blowing pressure can be regulated.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, having a forming device which has a plurality of forming stations each having a stretching bar for stretching the plastic pre-form and an application device act upon the plastic container with a flowable medium. The forming device has at least four pressure reservoirs for the flowable medium, which each have predetermined pressures, and a valve block with at least five process valves. The application device is configured for producing a fluid connection between the valve block and a mouth region of the plastic preform in order to act upon the plastic preforms with the pressurised flowable medium, and the process valves are configured to act upon the plastic pre-forms with different pressures, wherein at least one process valve is configured for producing a connection between the plastic preform and an environment.

Abstract: A method for forming plastic preforms into plastic bottles has a first and a second operating mode, wherein the respective operating modes being selectively chosen by an operator as required. In in the first operating mode, i.e. a quality mode, a connection is established between a valve block and a pressure reservoir of the second pressure level in only one direction, from a valve block towards the pressure reservoir, i.e. a compressed air recycling mode, and in a second operating mode, i.e. an efficiency approach, a connection is established between the valve block and the pressure reservoir of the second pressure level in both directions, i.e. from the valve block towards the pressure reservoir and from the pressure reservoir towards the valve block.

Abstract: A method for forming plastic preforms into containers, wherein a transport device transports the preforms along a transport path. The transport device has a rotatable transport carrier where forming stations are arranged for forming the preforms into containers. The forming stations each have devices which apply a flowable medium to the preforms, and the apparatus has three pressure reservoirs which store the flowable and gaseous medium to expand the preforms. The preforms are applied to a first operating mode with a first pressure level stored in the first pressure reservoir, and at least one second and one third pressure levels stored in the second and third pressure reservoirs. The second pressure level is higher than the first, and the third pressure level is higher than the second. The apparatus is operated in a second operating mode, which differs from the first mode by pressure level prevailing in the second pressure reservoir.
