20120177770 | APPARATUS FOR THE EXPANSION OF CONTAINERS - A blow valve comprises at least one blow valve body, an environmentally controlled first receiving space constructed in the blow valve body and having at least one entry opening and at least one exit opening for receiving and conveying an operating gas, and a second receiving space constructed in the blow valve body for the guidance of a pressure distribution member such as, for example, a piston element. A sealing component prevents exchange of gas between the first receiving space and the second receiving space and is arranged between the first and second receiving spaces. The sealing component has a stationary part for fixing to the blow valve body and a movable part for changing the flow rate of the operating gas, wherein the setting member is surrounded in part by the sealing component and is coupled to the movable portion in order to move it. | 07-12-2012 |
20120225157 | BLOW MOULDING MACHINE WITH A STERILE CHAMBER AND STERILE BLOWING AIR FEED - An apparatus for shaping plastic preforms for providing plastic containers), having a plurality of shaping stations arranged on a movable carrier, wherein the shaping stations have blowing moulds which accommodate the preforms and within which the preforms are shaped to provide the containers, and wherein the shaping stations each have charging devices which are movable relative to the preforms and which charge the preforms arranged in the moulds with a flowable medium for expansion, and wherein the shaping stations have a valve arrangement which controls the feed of the medium to the preforms, with a clean chamber within which the shaping stations are conveyed with the charging devices, wherein the clean chamber is arranged against the surroundings by at least one wall. Flow connections for guiding the flowable medium are provided between the valve arrangements and the charging devices and the valve arrangements are arranged outside the clean chamber. | 09-06-2012 |
20130129566 | DEVICE FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STERILISATION OF PLASTIC CONTAINERS BY MEANS OF CHARGE CARRIER BEAMS - An apparatus for sterilising at least a segment of an inner wall and a segment of an outer wall of containers by accelerated charge carriers, includes at least one first external application device for sterilising at least a segment of an outer wall of containers and an internal application device for sterilising at least a segment of an inner wall of containers. The internal application device at least in portions is arranged to be introduced through an opening into the container in order to apply the emitted charge carriers to an inner wall of the container. The containers are transported along a transport path during their sterilisation, wherein along a segment of the transport path of the containers between the first external application device and the internal application device is arranged a pitch change device to change a distance between two containers succeeding each other along the transport path. | 05-23-2013 |
20130149193 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF STERILIZING INNER WALLS OF CONTAINERS WITH A REFLECTOR APPARATUS - An apparatus and a method of sterilizing inner walls of containers, wherein the apparatus has at least one electron beam emitter with at least one electron beam accelerator and an outlet window for the electron beams, a conveying device for conveying the containers to be sterilized and a reciprocating device for permitting a relative movement between the containers and the outlet window in a longitudinal direction of the containers. A reflector apparatus is connected to the electron beam emitter in a positively locking and/or friction locking manner at least locally in a region of the outlet window and is capable of being introduced at least locally during a defined period of time into an interior space of the container to be sterilized, in order to apply the electron beams to the inner walls of the container. | 06-13-2013 |
20130154164 | APPARATUS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PLASTICS MATERIAL CONTAINERS, BEVERAGE FILLING PLANT AND/OR BEVERAGE CONTAINER PRODUCTION PLANT AND METHOD OF SHAPING PLASTICS MATERIAL PRE-FORMS AS WELL AS USE OF HEATING PATH CONVEYING MEANS - An apparatus for the processing of plastics material containers with a shaping device for the shaping plastics material pre-forms into containers, with a heating device comprising a heating path for heating the plastics material pre-forms and with a sterilization device for the sterilization of the plastics material pre-forms, in which the sterilization device comprises a supply device to supply the plastics material pre-forms to the sterilization device, and in which the sterilization device comprises both an external disinfecting unit to sterilize the plastics material pre-forms at least on their external wall surfaces and an internal disinfecting unit to sterilize the plastics material pre-forms on their internal wall surfaces, wherein the supply device comprises heating path conveyor for conveying the plastics material pre-forms along the heating path to supply the plastics material pre-forms at least to the external disinfecting unit. | 06-20-2013 |
20140112826 | DEVICE FOR EXTERNAL STERILISATION OF PLASTIC PARISONS - A device for sterilising plastic containers includes a transport device for transporting the containers during the sterilisation along a predefined transport path, a clean room within which the containers can be transported during sterilisation, wherein the clean room is delimited by at least one wall with respect to the environment, and a first external application device for sterilising at least a section of the outer wall of the containers. The first external application device has a source of charge carriers for generation of charge carriers, and includes a first moving device which moves the containers at least intermittently in the longitudinal direction during their sterilisation. The device also includes a rotary device which rotates the containers about their longitudinal direction at least intermittently during the sterilisation, wherein the rotary device and the moving device are preferably configured in such a way that a rotation of the containers is enabled during a movement of the containers in their longitudinal direction. | 04-24-2014 |
20140325941 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING BEVERAGE CONTAINERS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS - The method for producing containers filled with liquids, and in particular with beverages, wherein plastic preforms are heated by a heating device, are then transported to a shaping device and are shaped by this shaping device to form the plastic containers, and the plastic containers are then transported to a filling device and filled with the liquid, and wherein the containers are transported inside a clean room at least during the filling and, before being filled with the liquid inside the clean room, they are at least in part sterilized by a first sterilizing device. According to the invention, before being sterilized by means of the first sterilizing device, the plastic containers are pre-sterilized by means of a second sterilizing device, wherein this pre-sterilization is performed outside the clean room. | 11-06-2014 |
