20110236525 | BLOW MOULD APPARATUS WITH CONTROLLED LOCKING MECHANISM - A blow mould apparatus ( | 09-29-2011 |
20110280984 | BLOW MOULD - The invention relates to a device for transforming plastics preforms into containers with at least one blow mould for receiving the plastics preforms, wherein this blow mould has two mould parts, which can be pivoted with respect to each other about a connecting axis, with at least one locking element, which is arranged on one of the mould parts and interacts with at least one counter element arranged on the other mould part, in order to lock the two mould parts with respect to each other, wherein the counter element is a counter element which is arranged about an axis arranged substantially parallel to the connecting axis and can be turned between a locking position, in which the blow mould is locked, and an unlocking position, in which the blow mould can be opened, wherein the counter element is of such a kind that it lies at least partially against the locking element in the locking position and releases the locking element in the unlocking position, wherein the device has an actuating element for turning the counter element, this actuating element having a drive element which interacts with the counter element in order to actuate it. | 11-17-2011 |
20120153545 | BASE MOULD LIFT DAMPING - A device for forming containers and a method for damped closing of a mould carrier unit and a base mould carrier of a blow mould for forming containers, includes at least one mould carrier unit for holding blow mould parts and a base mould carrier for holding a base mould and a base mould carrier lift device for moving the base mould carrier in conjunction with the movement of the mould carrier unit. The mould carrier unit has at least two mould carriers which surround the container to be processed at least during a moulding process. The base mould carrier covers a base area of the container to be treated. The base mould carrier lift device includes at least one first damping element for damping and limiting the vertical movement of the base mould carrier in relation to the mould carrier unit. | 06-21-2012 |
20140151940 | BLOW MOULDING MACHINE - An apparatus is provided for the shaping of plastics material containers, with a movable carrier on which are arranged a plurality of shaping stations for the shaping of plastics material pre-forms into plastics material containers, wherein these shaping stations have blow mould carrier parts movable with respect to each other for opening and closing the shaping stations, and wherein the shaping stations have a locking mechanism for holding the shaping stations in a closed state. | 06-05-2014 |
20140167334 | Optimized Preform Feed - A device for transporting plastic preforms to a stretch blow molding machine comprising a feeder device, which transports the plastic preforms to a separating device, which is arranged in transport direction upstream of the stretch blow molding machine, wherein the feeder device comprises a pneumatically actuable blocking device, which in a first position deblocks the path of transport for the preforms and in a second position blocks the path of transport for the plastic preforms, and wherein the blocking device is actuable by means of a cylinder. According to the invention, the valve for controlling the cylinder is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the cylinder. | 06-19-2014 |
20140251754 | APPARATUS FOR HANDLING CONTAINERS - Provided is an apparatus for handling containers. The apparatus comprises a moveable carrier, a plurality of treatment stations arranged on the moveable carrier for treating the containers, each treatment station having at least one element that is moveable in relation to the carrier, and a stationary guide curve. The elements are temporarily coupled to the guide curve. A movement between a treatment station of the plurality of treatment stations and the guide curve translates to a movement of the at least one element. A coupling device comprises at least one guide roller which at least temporarily contacts the guide curve. At least one of the guide roller or the guide curve includes an imidized polymer material. | 09-11-2014 |
20140339743 | BLOW MOULDING MACHINE WITH SEPARATE PRESSURE PAD CONTROL - Plastic preforms are introduced into a blow mould and are expanded by applying a flowable medium thereto, which is introduced into the internal space of the plastic preforms, wherein the blow mould includes at least two lateral parts which form a cavity during the expansion of the plastic preforms, within which the plastic containers are expanded. The lateral parts are respectively provided on lateral part carriers that are moved relative to each other for opening and closing the blow mould. At least one arrangement of a lateral part carrier and the lateral part provided thereon has an expansion element that can have a gaseous medium applied thereto. The expansion element ensures, when the gaseous medium is applied thereto, that one lateral part is moved towards the other lateral part. During the expansion of the plastic preforms, at least two different pressure levels are applied. | 11-20-2014 |
