A method for controlling a machine block comprising a blow-moulding machine for producing bottles and comprising a filler for filling a liquid product into bottles, and a corresponding machine block. Accordingly, the blow-moulding machine comprises an electronic blow-moulding machine controller and an even number of circulating blow-moulding stations, and the filler comprises an electronic filler controller and an even number of circulating filling stations. Since the blow-moulding machine controller specifies a division selection, and the filler controller automatically selects, on the basis of the division selection, one of several filler operating modes all of the machine controllers in the region of the machine block can be instructed in a superordinate manner by the blow-moulding machine controller to automatically adjust the respective operating mode.

A container with a shell and lining within its interior is provided. The shell and/or lining can be fabricated from a biodegradable, recyclable, and/or compostable material. The lining can be configured as a parison, a preform, and/or other mass that is capable of being expanded. The lining can be inserted within a cavity of the shell and caused to expand to form an expanded state. The lining, in the expanded state, may be used as a barrier, preventing beverage that is inserted into the container from making contact with the shell. The lining, in the expanded state, may be configured to maintain contact with an inner surface of the shell so as to provide adequate shock absorption. The lining can be a thin film, providing an overall thinner construction and/or an overall lighter construction can be used to fabricate the container.

To suppress the degradation of sealing property of a pressure vessel and the deterioration of a sealing member, and to reduce the workload and cost of manufacture, a blow molding device includes a pair of molds configured to be clamped to sandwich a parison from both lateral sides, and a blow pin configured to form a neck portion together with the molds. The blow pin includes a blow pin body portion having an outer circumferential surface of a shape corresponding to an inner circumferential surface of the neck portion, and a ring portion forming an annular recess portion between the blow pin body portion and the ring portion to form an outer circumferential surface of a tip portion of the neck portion, which is a smooth surface without any parting line.

An ostomy appliance includes a waste collection bag that is molded to form a front wall that continuously extends to form both a side wall and a rear wall. The rear wall is spaced apart from the front wall when the waste collection bag is empty. A bottom of the waste collection bag is defined by a curved bottom wall that continuously extends from both the front wall and a rear wall. The waste collection bag is formed to include a longitudinal curvature within at least one of the front wall and the rear wall, and a connector is integrally molded into the rear wall of the waste collection bag around a waste inlet.
