A method for forming plastic preforms into containers, wherein a transport device transports the preforms along a transport path. The transport device has a rotatable transport carrier where forming stations are arranged for forming the preforms into containers. The forming stations each have devices which apply a flowable medium to the preforms, and the apparatus has three pressure reservoirs which store the flowable and gaseous medium to expand the preforms. The preforms are applied to a first operating mode with a first pressure level stored in the first pressure reservoir, and at least one second and one third pressure levels stored in the second and third pressure reservoirs. The second pressure level is higher than the first, and the third pressure level is higher than the second. The apparatus is operated in a second operating mode, which differs from the first mode by pressure level prevailing in the second pressure reservoir.
A method for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, wherein a transport device transports the plastic preforms along a predetermined transport path, wherein the transport apparatus has a rotatable transport carrier on which a plurality of forming stations for forming the plastic preforms into the plastic containers are arranged, wherein the forming stations each have application devices which apply the plastic preforms with the flowable medium, and wherein the apparatus has at least three pressure reservoirs which store the flowable medium, and, to expand them, the plastic preforms are applied in a first operating mode with a first pressure level stored in the first pressure reservoir, with at least one second pressure level stored in the second pressure reservoir, and with a third pressure level stored in the third pressure reservoir, wherein the second pressure level is higher than the first pressure level, and the third pressure level is higher than the second pressure level,
An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers with a transport device configured to transport the plastic preforms along a predetermined transport path, wherein the transport device has a rotatable transport carrier on which a plurality of forming stations for forming the plastic preforms into the plastic containers are arranged, wherein the forming stations each have application devices configured to apply the plastic preforms with the flowable medium, and wherein the apparatus has at least three pressure reservoirs configured to store the flowable medium, and, to expand them, the plastic preforms are applied in a first operating mode with a first pressure level stored in the first pressure reservoir, with at least one second pressure level stored in the second pressure reservoir, and with a third pressure level stored in the third pressure reservoir, wherein the second pressure level is higher than the first pressure level, and the third pressure level is higher than the second pressure level,
