Apparatus for Forming Plastic Preforms into Plastic Containers with Change Device in Modular Construction

An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers with a transport device which transports the plastic preforms along a predefined transport path, wherein the transport device has a movable station carrier on which a plurality of forming stations are arranged, wherein these forming stations each have blow-moulding devices, each forming cavities within which the plastic preforms can be formed into plastic containers, and said blow-moulding devices are arranged on respective blow-mould carriers, wherein the apparatus has a clean room inside which the plastic preforms can be formed into the plastic containers, and this clean room is isolated from a non-sterile environment by means of at least one wall,

• wherein
• the apparatus has a change device which is suitable and intended for at least removing the blow-moulding devices from their blow-mould carriers and/or arranging blow-moulding devices on the blow-mould carriers, wherein this change device is integrated in a module which can be separated from the clean room, and the change device is arranged inside a lock room which can be brought into connection with the clean room of the forming device, wherein the module of the change device itself forms this lock room, and the change device is situated inside the lock room with further devices such as a magazine for blow-moulding devices, and the lock room can be isolated gas-tightly from a (non-sterile) environment in order to be able to maintain sterile conditions inside this lock room.
