    摘要: An injection apparatus for injecting molten plastic into a mold of articles made of thermoplastic material including bottle preforms. The injection apparatus includes an injection nozzle and a shutter for controlling flow of the molten plastic through the injection nozzle. A cylinder-piston system moves the shutter from open and closed positions of the injection nozzle. The cylinder-piston system includes a first chamber with a first passage for introducing fluid into the first chamber to open the shutter, and a second passage, different from the first passage, for discharge of fluid and of possible particles from the first chamber. A fluid distribution device with a first channel is connected to the first passage, and a second channel different from the first channel is connected to the second passage. The cylinder-piston system includes a second chamber having a third passage for introducing fluid into the second chamber to close the shutter.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus for cooling a plurality of preforms made of thermoplastic material which continuously move on a conveyor belt. The apparatus includes a cylindrical casing with a vertical extension formed by two coaxial cylinders, such a casing contains a guide crossed by a chain or a cable for transporting the preforms therein. The guide, which forms a closed path, comprises a first helical stretch, which raises from the lower plane starting from a station in which the preforms coming from a conveying device are hooked by the chain or by the cable, a second straight stretch, which returns the preforms to the lower plane once they have reached the upper plane, and a third flat stretch at the height of the lower plane, which returns the preforms to the arrival station. The helical stretch of the guide is contained within a cooling tunnel formed in the gap between the two walls of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder of said casing. The cooling air is conveyed within the cooling tunnel by a specific manifold which is located within the casing.
