Abstract
Mold filling machine for producing and filling containers made from preforms, comprising a mold filling station with a mold for receiving a preform, wherein the mold has an opening, such that an opening region of the preform in the mold is accessible, the mold filling station having a treatment unit with at least two treatment subunits, which are arranged movably in the treatment unit in such a way that the treatment subunits can be positioned alternately over the opening and the treatment unit has a sealing element, which can be positioned over the opening of the mold in such a way as to form a gastight space, which includes the interior space of the preform and/or container and the treatment subunits.

A mold filling machine for producing and filling containers made from preforms, comprising a mold filling station with a mold for receiving a preform, wherein the mold has an opening, such that an opening region of the preform in the mold is accessible, the mold filling station comprises a treatment unit with at least two treatment subunits, which are arranged movably in the treatment unit in such a way that the treatment subunits can be positioned alternately over the opening, and the treatment unit comprises a sealing element which can be positioned over the opening of the mold in such a way as to form a gastight space which includes the interior space of at least one of the preform or the container and the treatment subunits.
A method for producing and filling containers with a mold filling machine, wherein a preform is introduced into a mold of a mold filling station and the opening region of the preform is accessible through an opening in the mold, at least two treatment subunits of a treatment unit of the mold filling station are alternately positioned over the opening of the mold and in this position perform a treatment step at the preform and/or at shaped containers, and wherein a sealing element is positioned over the opening, and a gastight space is created by the sealing element, which space comprises at least the interior space of the preform within the mold and the treatment subunits.
