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 blow molding device includes a nozzle, a pressurized fluid supply source, a seal body, and a rod. The seal body includes a tubular wall. A communication depression extending from a lower end of the tubular wall to a communication port open on an outer circumferential surface of the tubular wall is provided in an inner circumferential surface of the seal body. A communication path is provided in the nozzle. The blow molding device further includes a fluid suction source configured to suck an incompressible fluid from the communication depression through the communication path and the communication port, and/or a pressurized gas supply source configured to supply a pressurized gas that blows off the incompressible fluid from the communication depression through the communication path and the communication port.

An apparatus for processing containers having a transport device which transports the containers to be processed along a predefined transport path has at least one processing device which is configured to process a container in a predefined manner, wherein the apparatus has a movement device, having at least one first guide cam and at least one guide roller which is configured to roll relative to the guide cam. The apparatus also has a detection device which is configured to detect at least one measurement value which is characteristic of a running property of the guide roller relative to the guide cam, and an evaluation device which is configured to evaluate this detected measurement value taking into account at least one further operating value characteristic of the operation of the apparatus.

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.
