A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish defining an opening into the container, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion, the sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, and at least one substantially transversely-oriented pressure panel located in the lower portion. The pressure panel is movable between an outwardly-inclined position and an inwardly-inclined position to compensate for a change of pressure inside the container. The standing surface defines a standing plane, and the entire pressure panel is located between the standing plane and the upper portion of the container when the pressure panel is in the outwardly-inclined position.

A preform is heated, the heated preform is sealed in a sealing apparatus including a neck portion mold, a trunk portion mold and a bottom portion mold at a predetermined temperature range, and the heated preform sealed in the molds is blow-molded into a bottle. Any molded bottle is removed if the mold surface temperature of the neck portion mold, the trunk portion mold and the bottom portion mold are outside of the predetermined temperature range. A sterilizer is blasted to any molded bottle not removed when the mold surface temperature of all of the molds is in the predetermined temperature range.

A nozzle tool system for extrusion blow molding has an intermediate module and at least first and second nozzle outlet units, each forming an adjustable nozzle outlet gap between a mandrel extending axially and a deformable sleeve. The units can be connected with the intermediate module as replacements for one another, and have a first outlet diameter and a larger second outlet diameter different from one another. At least one setting drive for reversible deformation of the sleeve is arranged on the intermediate module and can be connected with the deformable sleeve by way of a releasable coupling arrangement. The first nozzle outlet unit delimits a first setting path of the setting drive, using at least one inner mechanical stop, and the second nozzle outlet unit delimits a second setting path of the setting drive, greater than the first setting path, using at least one inner mechanical stop.

A medical fluid container includes a container interior and a connecting piece that forms an inner channel. The container interior can be accessed from the outside via the connecting piece. The connecting piece has an outer thread on a connecting piece longitudinal section. The inner channel expands in a substantially conical manner in a region of the outer thread, starting from the container interior, to then preferably transition into a first cylindrical channel shape which extends to a free opening of the connecting piece. A method can be used for producing the medical fluid container from a container blank.

A container obtained by blow-moulding a rolled tube. The container includes a body extending, according to a longitudinal axis, between a bottom and a neck made integrally in one-piece with the body. The body has, along a height according to the longitudinal axis, a wall having a thickness between 0.05 mm and 0.4 mm. The neck has, along the height according to the longitudinal axis, a wall having a thickness between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm.

A two-cell container device the device includes a first housing and configured to house a liquid, the first housing including a body, wherein the body further comprises an annular form with an interior reservoir for the liquid and a central through-hole and a mouth portion providing access to the interior receptacle. The two-cell container device includes a second housing, the second housing secured within the through-hole, the second housing configured to house at least a pill, wherein the second housing includes a first side including at least a pill receptacle having an opening and a second side adhered to the first side, wherein the second side covers the opening.

A preform is heated, the heated preform is sealed in a sealing apparatus including a neck portion mold, a trunk portion mold and a bottom portion mold at a predetermined temperature range, and the heated preform sealed in the molds is blow-molded into a bottle. Any molded bottle is removed if the mold surface temperature of the neck portion mold, the trunk portion mold and the bottom portion mold are outside of the predetermined temperature range. A sterilizer is blasted to any molded bottle not removed when the mold surface temperature of all of the molds is in the predetermined temperature range.

A method for producing blow-molded structures where a preform is provided that encloses a cavity and has a preform wall limiting the cavity. The preform is placed into a blow mold and formed to a blow-molded structure, wherein the blow-molded structure has a structural wall. The preform wall or structural wall comprises an inner layer and an outer layer.

An Infrared heating system (101) designed for the efficient heating of preformed plastic tubes (106). The system comprises an infrared housing unit with multiple longitudinal strips (107N) of infrared heating elements (103), surpassing the length of the preformed tubes. A handling arrangement involving a series of rollers (202) facilitates the simultaneous oscillation and rotation of the plastic pipes. The inner surface of the infrared housing (102) features strategically positioned reflectors (109N) to enhance the infrared heating effect. The handling arrangement includes longitudinally spaced motorized rollers for axial movement, and motorized wheels (110) and tracks (111) for transverse movement. The infrared housing unit offers multiple temperature zones to suit the characteristics of the plastic pipes and employs temperature sensors (114N) for uniform and precise temperature control. A corresponding process for heating preformed plastic pipes is also described, integrating these features for effective and controlled heating.
