An apparatus for the heating of plastics material pre-forms, with a conveying device which conveys the plastics material pre-forms along a pre-set conveying path (P), wherein a plurality of holding elements for holding the plastics material pre-forms and a plurality of screening elements for screening off heat are arranged on the conveying device, wherein the apparatus has a plurality of carrier units on which at least one part of the holding elements and at least one part of the screening elements are arranged and these carrier units are capable of being removed from the conveying device jointly with the parts of the holding elements which are arranged thereon and the screening elements.
A holding apparatus for holding elements for the holding of plastics material containers with a carrier unit on which a screening element for screening off heat and at least one part of the holding element are arranged,
- wherein
- the carrier unit has a fastening element permitting the carrier unit to be mounted on a conveying device and/or removed from a conveying device jointly with the screening element and the holding element.
A method of mounting or removing holding elements and screening elements on or from an apparatus for the heating of plastics material pre-forms, wherein the holding elements serve to hold plastics material pre-forms and the screening elements serve to keep heat from a thread area of the plastics material pre-forms, wherein at least parts of the holding elements and at least parts of the screening elements are arranged on carrier units and these carrier units are mounted or removed to or from a conveying device jointly with the parts of the holding elements and screening elements arranged on them.
A method of mounting or removing holding elements and screening elements on or from an apparatus for the heating of plastics material pre-forms, wherein the holding elements serve to hold plastics material pre-forms and the screening elements serve to keep heat from a thread area of the plastics material pre-forms, wherein the screening elements and the holding elements are changed at the same time.
