A device for forming plastic parisons into plastic containers includes at least one forming station arranged on a conveying device and configured to form plastic parisons into plastic containers by applying a gaseous medium, the forming station includes an application device configured to apply the flowable medium to the plastic parisons, and includes a pressure supply device and/or is in fluidic connection with a pressure supply device configured to provide the flowable medium at a prespecified pressure, wherein pressure provided by the pressure supply device is greater than pressure required and/or used for the application to the plastic parisons, wherein the device includes at least one valve device which controls application to the plastic parisons, which valve device is configured to interrupt the supply of air into the container when the pressure of the flowable medium within the container has reached a prespecified pressure level.

The invention relates to a blow mold (100) comprising a mold base (101) having a cavity (102) as the mold cavity, the cavity (102) having a bottom region (1), a center region (2) and a top region (3). When the blow mold (100) is closed, the center region (2) can be moved relative to the top region (1) and/or relative to the bottom region (3).

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.

A method for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, wherein the plastic preforms being transported along a predetermined transport path and being acted upon and expanded by a flowable medium during this transport, a controllable valve of a reducing station controlling the action of the flowable medium on a compressed-air reservoir, in particular an annular channel, and a desired target pressure being predetermined, with which the compressed-air reservoir is acted upon, this desired target pressure being taken into account in the control of the valve of the reducing station wherein an actual pressure is determined and this actual pressure is compared with the desired target pressure and, from this comparison, a correction value is determined which is taken into account and/or used in the control of the valve.

Process for aseptically forming containers (100) starting from parisons made of thermoplastic material, comprising the steps of: injecting sterile compressed air inside a parison arranged in a stretch-blowing forming mould (2) so as to obtain a container (100); evacuating the exhaust compressed air from the formed container (100); making at least a part of the exhaust compressed air evacuated from the formed container (100) passing through a sterile filter (SF) so as to obtain recovery sterile air; injecting the recovery sterile air in another parison arranged in another forming mould (2).

A mold (11) for manufacturing a container (2) having a body (4) and a bottom (6), including: an annular peripheral base (8) defining a positioning plane (9); an arch (10) which extends concavely toward the inside of the container (2) from the base (8), the mold (11) including: a wall (12) having an inner surface (13) forming the cavity of the body (4) of the container (2) and having an opening therethrough, the wall (12) having an edge (23) forming the cavity of the positioning plane (9); a mold bottom (14) which is moveably mounted relative to the wall (12), the mold bottom (14) having an upper surface (15) forming the cavity of the arch (10), and a skirt (19) having an outer radial extension that is strictly lower than an inner radial extension of the positioning plane (9).

Disclosed is a for forming a container with multiple walls by blow molding or stretch blow molding of a preform, including a blow-molding phase followed by a degassing phase, beginning at a moment, of the formed container, to bring t:s pressure back to the ambient pressure. The method also includes: a continuous measurement of the pressure prevailing in the neck during the degassing phase; the determination of the length of time that has elapsed between the beginning of the degassing and the attaining of a reference pressure in the neck; the comparison of the length of time that has elapsed with a theoretical length of time that is necessary so that the reference pressure is attained in the neck; and maintaining the locking of the mold if the length of time that has elapsed is less than the theoretical length of time.

A mold device and a method related thereto for forming a plastic container from a preform. The mold device comprises a mold defining a mold cavity, an optional stretch initiation rod system for engaging an interior portion of the preform to define a stretch initiation area, and a centrally disposed pressure source positionable within the preform for introducing a pressurized fluid.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a container from a blank in a mold provided with a movable insert, wherein the method includes the following phases: pre-blowing; blow molding; boxing; and the following operations: measuring the prevailing pressure in the blank in real-time and storing the measurement in a memory; measuring the position of the insert in real-time and storing the measurement in a memory; detecting a time t.sub.S2 indicating the actual start of the blowing phase and moment t.sub.B2 indicating the actual start of movement of the insert and storing same in a memory; calculating T1=t.sub.S2−t.sub.B2; comparing T1 with a predetermined non-zero reference T1.sub.ref, as long as T1 is different from T1.sub.ref, and delaying the start of the boxing phase.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a container (2) from a blank (3) made of plastic material, in a stretch-blow molding unit (7) including: a mold (11) provided with a wall (13) and a mold base (14) which is axially movable relative to the wall (13) between a low position and a raised position; a stretch rod (22) which is axially movable relative to the mold (11) between a high position and a low position; the method including: a phase of inserting the blank (3) in the mold (11); a phase of stretch-blow molding; a phase of boxing; a phase of determining the start and end of the boxing phase, respectively, by detecting the movement of the rod (22) from the low position thereof and the stopping of the rod (22) at the raised position thereof.
