A preform conveying device (100) of the invention includes a control unit that detects an arriving time at which a conveyor jig arrives at a reference position based on an output of a first encoder, and commands a second motor to move a conveyor arm to a target position at regular intervals from the arriving time. The target position in each command is a position obtained by adding, to a current position of the conveyor jig which is obtained based on a latest output of the first encoder which was obtained when the command has been issued, a moving distance by which the conveyor jig has advanced during a delay time T which spans from a time when the latest output is outputted from the first encoder to a time when the command is received by the second motor.

A blow molding apparatus comprises: a continuous transport section provided with a loop-shaped transport path for continuously transporting a preform; an intermittent transport section for intermittently transporting the preform to a blow molding section; and a delivery section for holding the preform being transported on the transport path, and delivering it to the intermittent transport section. The delivery section is equipped with a cooling means for jetting a cooling fluid from a first nozzle member onto an outer surface of the preform to cool the preform locally.

A configuration including: a primary blow molding station including: an injection molding part configured to injection-mold a plurality of preforms simultaneously; a primary blow molding part configured to blow-mold the preform to form a first blow-molded article; and a first transport device including a first transport path and configured to intermittently circulate and transport a plurality of the preforms and the first blow-molded article along the first transport path at a predetermined interval; and a secondary blow molding station installed independently of the primary blow molding station, the secondary blow molding station including: a secondary blow molding part configured to blow-mold the first blow-molded article to form a resin container; and a second transport device configured to hold the first blow-molded article at a downstream side of the primary blow molding part in the first transport path and transport the first blow-molded article 40 to the secondary blow molding part.

Apparatus (1) for treating plastic preforms (10) with a preform sorting device (2) comprising a sorting device (3) and a damming device (5) which transports the plastic preforms (10) along a first rectilinear transport path (T1), wherein the sorting device (3) is suitable and intended to bring the plastic preforms (10) into a predetermined orientation and the damming device (5) is suitable and intended to feed the plastic preforms (10) in an ordered manner to a heating device (12) arranged downstream of the preform sorting device (2), which heats the plastic preforms (10) to a temperature necessary for blow moulding, wherein the heating device (12) transports the plastic preforms (10) along a substantially second rectilinear transport path (T2) and a plurality of stationary arranged heating elements (14) are arranged along the second rectilinear transport path (T2). According to the invention, the preforms sorting device (2) and the heating device (12) are arranged on a common carrier (9).

A container manufacturing device for performing manufacture of a pre-form and a container in a single station via one stop is provided. The container manufacturing device includes a pre-form molding module configured to form a shape of a pre-form of a container using a resin material, an injection module connected to the pre-form molding module and configured to supply the resin material to the pre-form molding module, a container molding module configured to inject air to the pre-form to expand the pre-form and to form the shape of the container and including a container mold, and a rotary table with a rib plate suspended thereon while rotating between the pre-form molding module and the container molding module, the pre-form or the container being mounted on the rib plate.

A blow mold is provided and includes a cavity mold composed of a pair of split molds for forming a cavity in which a preform is to be housed, a link member having one end side pivotably supported by a shaft member, and having on another end side a recess insert die which presses the preform during blow molding to form a grip portion, and a cam member which is provided lateral to the cavity mold so as to be linearly movable, and which presses the link member in accordance with a linear movement thereof to pivot the link member.

An apparatus for blow molding plastic containers, particularly bottles, including a blow molding carousel, which can rotate about a main rotation axis and is functionally connected, at a first transfer station and at a second transfer station, to a line for feeding the preforms and to a line for unloading the bottles, the blow molding carousel supporting, at its peripheral region, a plurality of forming units arranged around the main rotation axis. Each forming unit has a mold that defines a first and a second forming cavity and is formed by two half-mold parts, which can move with respect to each other to pass between an open position for feeding the preforms and for unloading the bottles and a closed position, in which it defines at least one forming cavity.

A device for unloading and storing preforms for the production of containers made of plastics includes at least one cooling plate that defines a plurality of receptacles for respective preforms and a component for transferring the still-hot preforms from an injection molding device to the cooling plate. The device includes pick-up components adapted to pick up the preforms from the cooling plate and place them inside at least one accommodation container.

Provided is a device for treating containers and in particular plastic containers, including a first transport device having a continuous carrier on which a first plurality of transport elements are moveably arranged, each having at least one retainer for retaining plastic preforms and being designed and configured to transport said plastic preforms along a first transport path, and including at least one heating device arranged along the first transport path in order to heat the plastic preforms at least in sections during their transportation along the first transport path.
