Disclosed is an apparatus for expanding and filling plastic parisons to form plastic containers with a liquid medium, with at least one transforming station which has a hollow mould, inside which the plastic parisons can be expanded into plastic containers and can be simultaneously filled by application of a liquid medium, wherein the transforming station is arranged on a carrier and wherein the transforming station has a filling device which feeds the liquid medium to the plastic parisons under pressure, wherein the transforming station has a pressure chamber to which a gas can be applied, wherein for filling of the plastic parisons the filling device can be introduced into the pressure chamber and after the filling can be removed at least partially, and wherein a closing unit can be introduced into the pressure chamber, in order to close the expanded und filled plastic containers.

Provided is an apparatus for expanding plastics material parisons into plastics material containers by a liquid medium with at least two transforming stations which fill and expand the plastics material parisons with the liquid medium with at least one common delivery device, which delivers the liquid medium to both transforming stations, wherein the transforming stations in each case have filling devices which fill the liquid medium into the plastics material parisons. According to the embodiments these transforming stations and/or filling devices in each case have a throttle device which are suitable and intended for changing the volume flow of the liquid entering the plastics material parisons.

A blow molding device in which pressure is accumulated in advance in a cylinder, which is used for providing pressurized an air space about a mouth of a preform to be molding into a container within a mold using a pressurized liquid. Pressure is also accumulated in advance in an accumulator. When a pressurized liquid is supplied into the preform, the opening-closing valve of the accumulator is opened to thereby apply the accumulated pressure within the accumulator to the liquid supplied into the preform, and the opening-closing valve is closed to thereby allow the accumulated pressure within the cylinder to pressurize the air space.

A blow molding apparatus including: a mold; a blow nozzle; a pressurized fluid supply unit; and a blow nozzle moving unit configured to cause a relative movement of the blow nozzle between a connected position and a standby position, wherein a preform is molded into a container by supplying a pressurized incompressible fluid into the preform. The blow molding apparatus includes: a drawing member including a drawing port; a drawing pump configured to be connected to the drawing member; and a drawing member moving unit configured to move the drawing member so that the drawing port is positioned below the blow nozzle, after the container has been molded and the blow nozzle has been moved from the connected position to the standby position.

A method comprising a first injection step, wherein a first predetermined volume of pressurized liquid is injected into the preform, the predetermined volume corresponding to a fraction of the container volume, the first injection step causing an expansion of the preform into a first intermediate container. The method further comprising a second injection step, wherein, once the first predetermined volume of liquid has been injected, the liquid injection speed is reduced and the pressurized liquid is further injected in the first intermediate container until a predetermined switch pressure in the liquid injection circuit is reached, the second injection step causing an expansion of the first intermediate container into a second intermediate container, and —a third injection step starting once the predetermined switch pressure is reached, wherein the liquid injection speed is decelerated until the liquid injection is stopped.

A bottling apparatus (1) in aseptic conditions of containers (100) made of a thermoplastic material, comprising: at least one mobile organ such as, for example, a blowing nozzle (24) that is partially located in a contamination-controlled environment (3) isolated from an external environment (4); a linear motor (6) for driving the mobile organ (24), the linear motor (6) comprising a cylindrical stator (7) and a rotor or magnetic shaft (8) integrally connected to the mobile organ (24), the separation volume between the rotor (8) and the cylindrical stator (7) being sanitisable by means of a sanitising fluid that passes through a grooved surface (14, 15, 18).
