Plant and method for processing plastic preforms with pneumatic conveyor or transport shuttle

A method for processing plastic preforms, using an injection-moulding machine in which the plastic preforms are produced, a sterile blow-moulding machine in which the plastic preforms are formed into plastic containers, and a transport system which transports the produced plastic preforms from the injection-moulding machine to the blow-moulding machine, wherein during transport, the plastic preforms are guided in particular at a mouth region of the plastic preforms,

• wherein
• the transport system is a sterile pneumatic conveyor through which a sterile gaseous medium flows, or a plurality of transport shuttles, wherein each shuttle receives at least one plastic preform in order to transport the plastic preform from the injection-moulding machine to the blow-moulding machine, and wherein during transport, the plastic preforms are transported inside a clean room of the transport system, and wherein between the injection-moulding machine and the blow-moulding machine, a region is provided in which the plastic preforms are tempered and held at a temperature necessary for the blow-moulding process, so that no additional or renewed heating of the preforms before the blow-moulding process is required, since these are already tempered throughout the entire transport.
