Abstract:
An apparatus for the conditioning of plastics material pre-forms with a tempering space for receiving a plurality of plastics material pre-forms, with a supply device a removal device, and a conveying device which conveys the plastics material pre-forms from the supply device to the removal device in such a way that each plastics material pre-form remains in the tempering space for a preset duration of the dwell period. The temperature of the plastics material pre-forms upon leaving the removal device is substantially constant irrespective of a duration of the dwell period of the plastics material pre-forms in the tempering space and the conveying device is designed in such a way that each plastics material perform remains in the tempering space for a period of time of at least five minutes.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for manufacturing plastic containers, where the plastic containers are produced from aplastic material such as recycled plastic. The plastic preforms are heated in a heating unit and expanded into plastic containers in an expansion device. An infrared absorption degree of the plastic material or of the plastic preforms produced from said plastic material is then examined at least once in the course of the production process. From this examination conclusions can be drawn with respect to the quality of the preforms and their behavior when they are being heated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an optical thread position detection device (1) for detecting the rotational position of threads (2) of containers (3). The thread position detection device (1) comprises at least an optical detector (4a, 4b) and a positioning device (6) for the defined orientation of a longitudinal axis (L) of the containers (3) relative to the detector (4a,b), the positioning device (6) and a defined coupling area (8a,b,c) of the container (3) being connectable to one another. According to the invention the optical detector (4a,b), without coming into contact, registers items of information on at least one relative rotational position of at least one thread portion (2a), the processor device serving to generate data on the rotational position of the container, incorporating a defined reference variable and the items of information.
Abstract:
A device (1) and a method for determining the friction between plastic hollow bodies (2) with the same material composition. For this purpose, at least one plastic hollow body (2S) is rigidly clamped in parallel to its longitudinal axis (LS) by means of bilateral clamping jaws (4). A linearly moveable plastic hollow body (2B) lies on the plastic hollow body (2S). The linearly and not in parallel to the longitudinal axis moveable plastic hollow body (2B) is impinged with a force (FG). The moveable plastic hollow body (2B) presses with the force (FG) onto the rigidly clamped plastic hollow body (2S). The neck area (3) of the moveable plastic hollow body (2B) is connected with a force measurement unit (6).
Abstract:
A device for manufacturing plastic containers, including a clocked preform manufacturing means, a temperature control means for thermal conditioning preforms manufactured in the preform manufacturing means, and a continuously working blow molding machine, where the temperature control means is designed and/or configured such that preforms that have been manufactured in one cycle of the preform manufacturing means can be differently temperature controlled.
Abstract:
Method and device for the production of plastic containers by blow molding or stretch blow molding of preforms, whereby the preforms are tempered, whereby the blow molds or stretch blow molds are possibly pre-heated before or during the blow molding or stretch blow molding process and whereby compressed air is injected into the preforms as blowing medium during the blow molding process. The blow molding and/or stretch blow molding devices as well as handling means and transport means are provided with operating power. The compressed air supply and/or the pre-heating means and/or the heating means and/or the drive means are powered by primary energy provided by at least one energy conversion device.
Abstract:
An apparatus for shaping plastics material pre-forms to form plastics material containers includes a conveying device on which a plurality of blowing stations are arranged. Each of these blowing stations has a blow mould inside which a plastics material pre-form is capable of being shaped to form a plastics material container. The apparatus has a clean room inside which the plastics material pre-forms can be conveyed. The region of the conveying device on which the blowing stations are arranged is situated in the clean room, and at least one further region of the conveying device is arranged outside the clean room.
Abstract:
An apparatus for shaping plastics material pre-forms to form plastics material containers may include a conveying device which conveys the containers along a pre-set conveying path, a stressing device which acts upon the containers with a flowable medium in order to expand them, a reservoir for storing the flowable medium, and a supply device which delivers the flowable medium from the reservoir to the container. A valve device controls the supply of the flowable medium into the containers, in order to expand the containers. The apparatus includes a first feed line in order to supply a flowable sterilization medium to the supply line between the reservoir and the container to be treated or in a removal line for the flowable medium, which removes the flowable medium from the containers.
