A blow molding station may include a mold configured to support the preform. A blow molding station may include a stretch rod configured to stretch the preform within the mold. A blow molding station may include a nozzle configured to direct pressurized gas into the preform. A blow molding station may include a high-voltage module configured to impart an electrostatic charge to the pressurized gas directed into the preform.

Apparatus for producing molded, filled and sealed receptacle products made of plastics material, comprisinga hose head (32) for dispensing at least one hose extruded using an extrusion means, a separating means (12) for separating a preform from the hose, a main mold (24) for accommodating at least one preform in the context of molding thereof, a transfer means (14) for transferring the preform from the hose head (32) to a filling means (16) for filling via an opening of the preform, anda supplying means (20) for a sterilizing fluid which allows for flow around at least one filling needle (22) of the filling means (16), characterized in that a further supplying means (30) for sterilizing fluid which at least partially protects at least the opening of the preform in the region below the hose head (32) from contamination is present.

The injection-blow-moulding mould comprises: a punch (1) having a blow opening (3) connected to a first conduit (5) which is in communication with a first source of pressurised gas supply (6) configured to supply pressurised gas through the blow opening (3) at an overpressure (OP) above a blowing pressure (BP) suitable to blow a preform (30a) into a container (30b) and an exhaust opening (4) connected to a second conduit (7) which is in communication with a pressure-limiting device set at the blowing pressure (BP); a blow-moulding cavity (2) configured to receive therein the punch (1) with a hot and soft preform (30a) arranged thereon; and a cooling device associated to the blow-moulding cavity (2). Gas inside the container (30b) exceeding the blowing pressure (BP) is allowed to escape through the exhaust opening (4) thereby a cooling gas stream is created from the blow opening (3) to the exhaust opening.

A method for producing at least one molded, filled and sealed container product (10) includes at least the method steps of: extruding a hose (32) by an extrusion device (12) using supporting gas in vertical extrusion direction in a preforming position; sealing the hose (32) at its lower end and cutting it at its upper open end; cutting the parison (22) to length; transporting the cut parison by a gripper device (20) in linear transport direction transverse to the extrusion direction from the preforming position into an opened molding tool (18); transferring the parison (22) into the opened molding tool (18) by the gripper device (20) in a main forming position; sealing the molding tool (18) for further forming of the parison (22) by a pressure gradient; filling and sealing the parison (22); and returning the gripper device (20) to the preforming position for a repeated sequence of the above method steps.
