The invention relates to a method for processing plastic preforms (10) and/or plastic containers (20) by means of at least one first processing apparatus (2), which processes the plastic containers (10, 20) in a first specified manner, and by means of at least one second processing apparatus (4), which processes the plastic containers (10, 20) in a second specified manner and which is arranged before or after the first processing apparatus (2), wherein the plastic containers (10, 20) are transported from one processing apparatus (2, 4) to the other processing apparatus (2, 4) by means of a transport apparatus (5) and the at least first processing apparatus (2) and the at least second processing apparatus (4) are coupled to each other, the first treatment apparatus (2) is a blow-molding machine (25) for shaping plastic preforms (10) to form plastic containers (20), and the process speed of the blow-molding machine (25) is defined by means of a specification, which contains a plurality of process parameters that are characteristic of the shaping process. According to the invention, the process parameters associated with at least one further process speed are at least partially determined on the basis of at least two key specifications, such that the adaptation of the process speed of the blow-molding machine (25) to a speed of at least one further processing apparatus (2, 4) is enabled and/or adjustment of the speed is possible.

A method and system for cold blow-fill-seal packaging of a product. The method and system are directed to maintaining a relatively cold temperature of the product to be packaged during the flow-fill-seal process. This accomplished via the use of one or more of, for example, a heat-exchanger in the system, insulated flow lines and steps taken during the procedure to maintain the temperature of the product below a certain level.

A method of making a container via a simultaneous filling and forming of the container with a liquid product is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of extruding a parison (12, 2), capturing a portion of the parison (12, 2) within a mold (15), and inflating the captured portion of the parison (12, 2) against the mold (15). The captured portion of the parison (12, 2) is inflated against the mold (15) by introducing the liquid product into an interior of the captured portion of the parison (12, 2), wherein the liquid product forms an end product to be sealed within the resultant container.

The container is used for receiving liquids and is formed substantially from a thermoplastic material. A container wall is provided at least in certain regions with a rib-like structure. The container wall has an oval profile in a horizontal cross-sectional area. The container is provided with two mutually opposite curved longitudinal sides and two mutually opposite curved transverse sides. In the region of at least one of the longitudinal sides, the rib-like structure is configured in such a way that it has, at least in certain regions, a reinforcing rib of closed encircling shape.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing packaging including a container. The method includes: an operation of forming the container via blow molding or stretch blow molding from a plastics preform, an operation of treating an inner surface of the container, during which a thin barrier layer is formed on the inner surface via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; an operation of printing on an outer surface of the container, during which ink is deposited on the outer surface to form a decorative and/or informative inscription thereon.

The invention relates to a method for producing a container from a thermoplastic parison, the container being produced from the parison with the aid of a fluid, either by blow molding and subsequent filling with a fluid that is in particular liquid, or being produced by hydroforming and subsequently containing the liquid fluid as contents, and, during the blow-molding process and/or when receiving the in particular liquid fluid, the container revolves about and is spaced apart from an axis of rotation extending, in particular, vertically, in a mold that can be opened. According to the invention, the closed mold adopts, at least temporarily, an inclined position, i.e. that deviates from a perpendicular position.

To make a sterilization step appropriate in an aseptic filling apparatus. Provided is an aseptic filling apparatus including a step of sterilizing a preform and a step of sterilizing a container obtained by molding the preform, wherein assuming sterilization effects in the respective sterilization steps as X [LRV] and Y [LRV], a relationship of 5≤X+Y≤10 (where Y≥0) is established.

An apparatus for treating containers with a first treatment device configured to treat the containers in a predetermined first manner, with a transport device which transports the containers in a predetermined transport direction, wherein the transport device transports the containers in a transport stream extending in the transport direction, and with a reject device arranged after the first treatment device, which is configured to reject a plurality of containers arranged one after the other in the transport direction from the transport stream, wherein the apparatus has a second treatment device which is arranged before the first treatment device in the transport direction of the containers. The apparatus has a gap generating device which is arranged in front of the first treatment device in the transport direction of the containers and which generates at least one gap in the transport stream of the containers.

A system (1) for producing thermoplastic material bottles (5), the system (1) comprising in sequence: an extruder (10); a molding apparatus (20) for producing preforms; a thermal conditioning apparatus (30) for thermally conditioning the preforms; a blowing apparatus (40) for producing bottles (5) from the preforms; a pulsed light irradiation apparatus (50, 55, 60, 70); an aseptic filling and capping apparatus (80).

A method produces a filled and closed container by the blow-moulding, filling and closing method. An initially open container part (52) is held in a mould (46) and has been vacuum-moulded and/or blow-moulded by a blow pin and is filled successively with media (74, 76) of different types, in particular viscosity, by metering units (12, 14) via its free, upwardly directed container-part opening (54). The filled-in media (74, 76) are separated from one another in the container part (52), and subsequently, by closing of the top mould halves (56, 58) of the mould (46). A container top part (60) is moulded, and the container part (52) is closed, forming the container.
