Abstract
A system is provided for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers with at least one transforming station which has a blow mold within which the plastic parisons can be expanded by application of a gaseous medium, wherein the blow mold has a base part which is disposed releasably on a support, and with a first fastening mechanism in order to fasten the base part to the support, and wherein the blow mold has at least one side part which is disposed releasably on a support and a second fastening mechanism in order to fasten the side part to the support.
Claims22
A system for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers, comprising:
- at least one transforming station which has a blow mold within which the plastic parisons can be expanded by application of a gaseous medium,
- wherein the blow mold has a base part which is disposed releasably on a support, and a first fastening mechanism in order to fasten the base part to the support,
- wherein the blow mold has at least one side part which is disposed releasably on a support and a second fastening mechanism in order to fasten the side part to the support,
- wherein the first fastening mechanism can be actuated by a free-flowing medium in order to unlatch the base part from the support and the second fastening mechanism can be actuated by the free-flowing medium in order to unlatch the side part from the support, and
- a media connection device configured to deliver the free-flowing medium simultaneously to at least the first and second fastening mechanisms.
A method for operating a system for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers,
- wherein in a working operation the plastic parisons are expanded by application of a free-flowing medium within a blow molding device,
- wherein the blow mold has a base part which is releasably disposed on a support, and
- wherein a first fastening mechanism fastens the base part to the support, and
- wherein the blow mold has at least one side part which is releasably disposed on a support and wherein a second fastening mechanism fastens the side part to the support,
- wherein the first fastening mechanism is actuated by a free-flowing medium in order to unlatch the base part from the support and the second fastening mechanism is actuated by a free-flowing medium in order to unlatch the side part from the support, and
- a media connection device is provided in order to deliver the free-flowing medium to the fastening mechanisms.
A system for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers comprising:
- at least one transforming station which is arranged on a movable support and which has a blow mold within which the plastic parisons can be expanded by application of a gaseous medium,
- wherein the blow mold has a base part which is disposed releasably on a support, and with a fastening mechanism in order to fasten the base part to the support, and/or wherein the blow mold has at least one side part which is disposed releasably on a support, and with a second fastening mechanism in order to fasten the side part to the support,
- wherein the system has an actuating device, and the transforming station is designed to be movable in at least one direction of movement of the support relative to this actuating device,
- wherein at least one element of the actuating device is suitable and intended for producing a connection by positive and/or non-positive engagement to at least one element of the transforming station and wherein the system has a positioning device in order to position the transforming station relative to the actuating device.
A method for operating a system for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers, wherein in a working operation the plastic parisons are expanded by application of a free-flowing medium within a blow molding device, wherein this blow molding device is disposed on a transforming station and this transforming station is disposed on a rotatable support, wherein the blow mold has a base part which is disposed releasably on a support, and the base part is fastened to the support with a fastening mechanism, wherein the blow mold has at least one side part which is disposed releasably on a support, and with a second fastening mechanism in order to fasten the side part to the support, wherein the support is aligned with regard to its rotated position relative to the actuating device and in order to release at least the base part and/or the side part an actuating device is connected to the system in such a way that at least one fastening mechanism can be actuated and in particular can be controlled by a free-flowing medium.
