A delaminated container has a main body portion and an opening portion. An accommodation space of the delaminated container is formed by a body inner surface of the main body portion and an opening inner surface of the opening portion. The delaminated container includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes a first tightly-attached section. At the main body portion, the first layer is located closer to the body inner surface than the second layer located thereto and is exposed on the body inner surface. The second layer includes a second tightly-attached section. The first tightly-attached section and the second tightly-attached section are tightly attached to each other. The first tightly-attached section and the second tightly-attached section are both located at the opening portion of the delaminated container.

Provided is a device for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, having a feed device for feeding the plastic preforms to the device, at least one first preform store, a multiplicity of plastic preforms being arranged unsorted in the preform store, and having an alignment device for bringing the plastic preforms into a predetermined position before feeding them to the device. The device includes at least a second preform store, wherein a plurality of plastic preforms of exactly one production batch can be accommodated in each preform store.

A preform is sterilized by a preform sterilizer. The preform is blow-molded by a blow-molding device to manufacture a container. Next, the container is filled with a culture medium by a filling device without sterilizing the container by a container sterilizer, and the container is plugged by a plugging device. Thereafter, it is verified how much microorganism survive or propagate in the culture medium in the container. A degree of sterilization in the container sterilizer is adjusted on the basis of a verification result.

A blow moulding machine for blow moulding a container having an integrally formed handle; said container blow moulded from a previously injection moulded preform; said preform comprising a body portion and said integrally formed handle; said machine including a preform loading station at which said preform is oriented by a preform orienting apparatus.

Apparatus for treating plastic preforms, having a transport device which transports the plastic preforms along a predetermined transport path, having a first application device which loads the plastic preforms with a first flowable medium through their mouth during their transport along a first transport path section,

wherein
the apparatus has a second application device which acts upon the plastic preforms with a second flowable medium during their transport along a second transport path section through their mouth.

A blow moulding machine for blow moulding a container having an integrally formed handle; said container blow moulded from a previously injection moulded preform; said preform comprising a body portion and said integrally formed handle; said machine including a preform loading station at which said preform is oriented by a preform orienting apparatus.

A method of manufacturing a foam molded article is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming a foam parison by extruding a molten, kneaded resin containing a foaming agent through an annular slit in an extrusion direction in which a molding region between a pair of split molds lies, and molding a foam molded article by closing the split molds with respect to the foam parison located in the molding region. The parison formation step includes performing pre-blowing by injecting air toward an inner surface of the foam parison in a direction which forms an angle of 45° or more and 135° or less with the extrusion direction.

To facilitate removal of foreign matters from a preform. The preform in an inverted position with a mouth portion thereof facing down is being continuously transferred, filtered air is blasted into the preform through the mouth portion of the preform, and at the same time, air is sucked from the side of the mouth portion of the preform. Foreign matters can be more easily discharged from the preform because of the flow of air and the weight of the foreign matters.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a container made of plastic, including the following steps: continuously extruding a hose, positioning an opened blow mold around the hose, so that the hose is arranged between the two blow mold halves, closing a hose gripper arranged at the blow mold to clamp the hose and simultaneously keeping the hose open at its upper side to form an inlet opening, separating the hose above the hose gripper to form the preform, horizontally moving the blow mold together with the preform hanging therein and held by the hose gripper into a blowing position, moving a blow mandrel assembly from above into the inlet opening of the preform, closing the blow mold halves, and inflating the preform in the blow mold to form a container.

A device for the integrated production and filling of containers and a method for cleaning and/or disinfecting at least the mold of at least one molding and filling station of the device. During a cleaning and/or disinfecting operation of the device, at least the inside of the mold is cleaned and/or disinfected with at least one cleaning and/or disinfecting agent by at least one cleaning element. During the cleaning and/or disinfecting operation, the at least one mold is opened and closed at least once, preferably many times and/or the plunger is moved at least once, preferably many times, between its initial position and end position.
