Apparatus for transforming and filling plastics material containers with controlled filling

A method for expanding plastics material parisons into plastics material containers by a liquid medium, wherein with at least one transforming station the plastics material parisons are filled and expanded with the liquid medium, and wherein with at least one common delivery device the liquid medium is delivered to the at least one transforming station and the at least one transforming station has a filling device which fills the liquid medium into the plastics material parisons, wherein the at least one transforming station and/or the filling device in each case has a throttle device which at least at times changes the volume flow of the liquid entering the plastics material parisons, and

• wherein the apparatus has a first sensor device which detects a measured value which is characteristic for the through flow of the liquid through the filling device, wherein the characteristic measured value is a characteristic measured value for a flow cross-section and/or a flow rate, wherein changing the volume flow includes an actual change to the product stream entering the plastics material parisons, wherein the change to the product stream entering the plastics material parisons is achieved by the throttle device having a cover element, wherein an entry of the liquid medium into the plastics material parison can be influenced by a movement of the cover element and the cover element can move to any position between two predetermined end positions to change the flow volume and/or the flow rate in a continuously variable manner.
