Provided is a method for manufacturing a container containing a content fluid, including: a molding step of stretching a bottomed tubular preform that is heated to a temperature at which the preform is stretchable so as to form the container by means of pressure of the content fluid injected into the preform through a mouth portion; a sealing step of sealing the content fluid by fitting a cap body to the mouth portion; and a pressurizing step of increasing an inner pressure of the container, wherein the container includes an invertible deforming portion that is freely invertible and deformable toward an inside of the container, and in the pressurizing step, the inner pressure of the container is increased by reducing a volume of the container by inverting and deforming the invertible deforming portion toward the inside of the container.

Provided is a method for processing containers, wherein the containers are processed by. a first processing device in a first predetermined manner and are transported by. a transport device to a second processing device and are processed by this second processing device in a second predetermined manner, and wherein the processing devices are in each case controlled by at least control devices, wherein for the control parameters are used which are characteristic of the containers and/or the processing of the containers. According to the embodiment, predetermination parameters are output on at least one and preferably on several control devices, and said output predetermination parameters are compared with parameters required by at least one processing device, and it is checked whether the parameters required by the at least one processing device can be derived at least from the predetermination parameters.

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing, filling and sealing a medicament container (2), the method comprising a blow-fill seal process comprising: a molding step, in which a parison (2) is inflated within a mold (1) to form the medicament container (2), a filling step, in which a medicament (M) is filled into the medicament container (2), and a sealing step, in which a distal end of a neck (2.2) of the medicament container (2) is sealed, wherein the mold (1) is dimensioned such that the neck (2.2) is formed with an internal radius small enough to allow for a capillary effect of the medicament (M) so that an air bubble remaining in the neck (2.2) after the filling step and the sealing step is fixed within the neck (2.2) by capillary forces. The present disclosure also relates to a medicament container (2) produced by said method.

A content-filling system (10) includes a water sterilizer (60) that includes a first sterile filter (63) and sterilizes water, and a control unit (90) that controls the water sterilizer (60). When the water sterilizer (60) is sterilized, the control unit (90) measures the temperature of fluid that flows on the flow path in the first sterile filter (63) and calculates an F value, based on the measured temperature. In the case where the F value is a desired value or more, the control unit (90) causes the sterilization of the first sterile filter (63) to end.

A method that comprises receiving a plastic container that has been formed by stretch blow molding and immediately after having received the container, while the container is still hot from having been formed, filling the container with carbonated liquid. Filling the container with the carbonated liquid comprises setting an internal pressure of the container to be a first pressure and causing the internal pressure to change from the first pressure as a function of a variable. The variable is either an extent to which the container is filled or a container temperature.

A synchronization system for a container-processing plant, including a container-forming machine configured to form a container, the container-forming machine having a first rotating wheel for rotating the container about a first rotation axis; a container-filling machine operatively coupled to the container-forming machine and configured to fill the container, the container-filling machine having a second rotating wheel for rotating the container about a second rotation axis; and at least one electric motor configured to cause the first rotating wheel and the second rotating wheel to rotate, the synchronization system comprising: a position sensor provided in the container-forming machine and configured to detect a rotating position of the first rotating wheel and to generate a position detection signal; at least one control unit configured to: receive information associated with the position detection signal; synchronize the rotation of the second rotating wheel to the rotation of the first rotating wheel based on the information associated with the position detection signal; and synchronize the rotation of the container-forming machine and container-filling machine from a zero speed up to a full operating speed of the container forming machine at which processing operations are designed to be performed.

A method and an apparatus for producing plastic bottles, including a blow molding machine, a labeler, at least one further treatment machine, and transfer starwheels provided and arranged for the machine-to-machine transportation of the bottles in such a way that the bottles are transported without buffers between the at least three machines.

Only a bottle properly preliminarily heated is sterilized by hydrogen peroxide. Temperature inspection to the bottle is performed while travelling the bottle. During the inspection, a bottle of which temperature does not reach a predetermined temperature is removed and a bottle of which temperature reaches the predetermined temperature is continuously travelled, hydrogen peroxide condensed mist is blown toward a mouth portion 1a of the bottle by a spray tube 59 disposed at a predetermined position, and hot air is blown into the bottle from the nozzle while the nozzle 64 following the mouth portion of the bottle. According to such operation, only the bottle properly heated can be sterilized by the hydrogen peroxide, Thereafter, beverage fills the bottle, which is then sealed.

Inner and outer surfaces of a container which is filled with drink are sterilized. A sterilizer is applied to an outer surface of a container by blasting the sterilizer toward the outer surface of the container from at least one nozzle for sterilizer disposed so as not to intersect with a mouth portion of the container, an inner surface of the container is sterilized by heat of a hot-water supplied into the container from a nozzle for hot-water, and the sterilizer adhering to the outer surface of the container is activated with the heat transferred from the hot-water to thereby sterilize the outer surface of the container.
