The invention relates to a method for the clocked conveying of packaging containers in a filling machine for flowable products along a conveying line with a first and a second section, a first conveying means and a second conveying means being operated at different clock cycles in the first section of the conveying line and in the second section of the conveying line respectively, and a handling device arranged between the first and the second sections of the conveying line compensating for the different clock times between the first and second conveying means. The clock time for filling flowable products into the packaging containers can thus be sufficiently measured in the second section of the conveying line, without having to accept unnecessary dead time for performing a processing step in the first section of the conveying line. Further disclosed is a device for performing the method.

A method for the production and filling of an application package for a liquid pharmaceutical product. A thermoforming film made of thermoplastics laminated together is heated in order to plasticize the thermoforming film at least in partial areas. The plasticized areas are thermoformed in a mold in order to form a chamber for the liquid pharmaceutical product and a tube-shaped application duct opening into this chamber, with the chamber and the application duct being enclosed by a non-thermoformed, essentially flat bonding area of the thermoforming film. The liquid pharmaceutical product is filled into the chamber, and the chamber and the application duct are sealed by covering the thermoformed and filled thermoforming film with an essentially flat covering film. The covering film is directly bonded to the bonding area of the thermoforming film by thermal ring sealing, enclosing the chamber and the application duct.

The thermoforming film is pressed by a forming die during thermoforming into the mold in at least a partial area of the application duct.

The invention concerns an apparatus for blowing and filling a container (22) from a preform (16), said apparatus comprising: —a mold (12) for enclosing a preform (16), —stretching means for stretching the preform (16) placed within said mold (12), —a pressurized liquid injection circuit (18) able to inject a liquid under pressure inside said preform (16) when said preform is placed inside said mold, —injection means which are adapted to inject a predetermined volume of liquid through said liquid injection circuit (18) into the preform and to stop injection of the liquid through said circuit into the preform when a blown and filled container (22) has been obtained, stopping the injection of the liquid through the liquid injection circuit into the preform creating an overpressure of the liquid within the liquid injection circuit, characterized in that the apparatus further comprises releasing means for releasing said overpressure of the liquid within the liquid injection circuit.

Container comprising a single unit dose of a detergent composition containing at least one complexing agent (A) dissolved in an aqueous medium, said complexing agent (A) being a mixture of the L-and D-enantiomers of methyl glycine diacetic acid (MGDA) or its respective mono-, di- or trialkali metal or mono-, di- or triammonium salts, said mixture containing predominantly the respective L-isomer with an enantiomeric excess (ee) in the range of from 5 to 85%, wherein said container is made from a polymer.

Methods of making non-durable self-supporting flexible containers.

An injection device for injecting a pressurized liquid into the preform. The injection device includes a piston device having a piston body with a piston head arranged to reciprocate therein. The piston head cooperates with a sealing portion of the piston body to fluidicly isolate an inner chamber of the piston device. The piston body being in fluidic communication with a liquid source for admitting liquid into the inner chamber. The piston body including at least two outlet ducts for delivering pressurized liquid to the injection head. Each outlet duct opening defining an outlet port in a wall of the inner chamber. Each outlet port being centered on an outlet port center, wherein all the outlet port centers extend in the same radial planes of the inner chamber, are at the same distance from the piston axis and are arranged angularly in a regular manner around the piston axis.

Provided is an apparatus for expanding plastics material parisons into plastics material containers by a liquid medium with at least two transforming stations which fill and expand the plastics material parisons with the liquid medium with at least one common delivery device, which delivers the liquid medium to both transforming stations, wherein the transforming stations in each case have filling devices which fill the liquid medium into the plastics material parisons. According to the embodiments these transforming stations and/or filling devices in each case have a throttle device which are suitable and intended for changing the volume flow of the liquid entering the plastics material parisons.
