Abstract
Provided is a method for operating a device for shaping plastic preforms to form plastic containers, wherein the device has a movable support on which a plurality of shaping stations for shaping plastic preforms to form plastic containers are arranged, and these shaping stations each have blow molds that are suitable for and intended for molding the plastic preforms and are arranged at least indirectly on blow mold supports. The blow molds are kept at least temporarily in a magazine device, wherein this magazine device is suitable for and intended for receiving several sets of blow molds.
Claims18
A method for operating a machine for reshaping plastic parisons into plastic containers, wherein the machine has a movable support, on which a plurality of reshaping stations are arranged for reshaping plastic parisons into plastic containers, and these reshaping stations each have blow molds which are suitable and intended for shaping the plastic parisons and which are arranged at least indirectly on blow mold supports, wherein the blow molds are at least temporarily stored in a magazine device, wherein this magazine device is suitable and intended for accommodating a plurality of sets of blow molds, wherein the magazine device is a dynamic store which is constructed as a vertical or horizontal carousel rack and the arrangement of the dynamic store takes place directly in a region of the mold change, wherein a changing device is arranged in a first clean room, the changing device can be separated by a first air lock device or bulkhead from the machine for reshaping the plastic parisons, and the magazine device is arranged in a second clean room, which can be segregated by means of a second airlock or bulkhead relative to the first clean room in which the changing device is arranged.
An arrangement for reshaping plastic parisons into plastic containers with a movable support on which a plurality of reshaping stations are arranged for reshaping plastic parisons into plastic containers, and these reshaping stations each have blow molds which are suitable and intended for shaping the plastic parisons and which are arranged at least indirectly on blow mold supports, wherein, furthermore, the arrangement has a changing device which is suitable and intended for demounting and/or mounting the blow molds, as well as a magazine device which is suitable and intended for at least temporary storage of the blow molds, wherein the magazine device is suitable and intended for accommodating a plurality of sets of blow molds, wherein the magazine device is a dynamic store which is constructed as a vertical or horizontal carousel rack and the arrangement of the dynamic store takes place directly in a region of the mold change, wherein the changing device is arranged in a clean room, the changing device can be separated by an air lock device or a bulkhead from the machine for reshaping the plastic parisons, and the magazine device is arranged in a further clean room, which is segregated by means of an airlock or a bulkhead relative to the clean room in which the changing device is arranged.
