Container treatment system and automatic exchange machine

A container treatment system (1, 13) for producing or processing products or groups of products, the container treatment system (1, 13) comprising:

• at least two different container treatment modules, each having:
• (i) at least one working area (AP) with at least one exchangeable working tool (2) located at an exchange position on the at least one working area, or (ii) at least one adaptable format part located at an exchange position on the at least one working area (AP);
• and
• at least one automatic exchange machine (10) that is movable to each working area (AP), wherein the at least one automatic exchange machine (10) is capable of exchanging the at least one exchangeable working tool (2) at each exchange position or adapting the at least one adaptable format part at each exchange position,
• and wherein one of the at least two container treatment modules operates, during an exchange cycle for the one of the at least two container treatment modules, in an intermittent, strokewise manner;
• and wherein, per strike of the one of the at least two container treatment modules during the exchange cycle, the at least one automatic exchange machine (10) retrieves one exchangeable working tool (2) from the exchange position and stores it in a magazine,
• and wherein, on a subsequent stroke of the one of the at least two container treatment modules during the exchange cycle, the at least one automatic exchange machine (10) mounts one exchangeable working tool (2) at the exchange position, wherein the at least one exchangeable working tool (2) is a blow mold;
• and wherein for another one of the at least two container treatment modules, the at least one automatic exchange machine (10) exchanges a mandrel for transporting and heating preforms.
