A method for producing a sterilized container comprises: providing a preform having a hanger arranged on a bottom of the preform, heating the preform in a heating device, feeding the heated preform into a stretching and blowing apparatus, stretching and blowing the preform in the stretching and blowing apparatus such that the container for the infusion solution is formed from the preform, cleaning the formed container in a rinsing apparatus, and drying the cleaned container in a drying device, filling the cleaned and dried container at least with an infusion solution, via a filling opening present in the container, in a filling plant, closing the container by attaching a closure cap to the filling opening of the container, sterilizing the closed container in an autoclave, wherein the hanger of the preform is oriented and folded over by a bending apparatus prior to stretching and blowing in the stretching and blowing apparatus.
A system for producing a container filled with an infusion solution, the system comprising:
A sterilized container having a main body which is stretched and blown from a preform and is filled with an infusion solution, which sterilized container toward the top by way of a shoulder region transitions to a bottleneck having a filling opening which is closed by a closure, and toward the bottom transitions to a base region, wherein the main body of the sterilized container has a width extending along a first transverse axis (B) of the container, and a depth extending along a second transverse axis (T) of the container, which runs perpendicularly to the first transverse axis (B), wherein the width of the main body is larger than the depth of the main body, and side walls of the main body that extend in the direction of the width of the container at least in portions have a smaller thickness than side walls which extend along the depth of the container, and wherein a hanger which is integral to the main body of the container is disposed on a lower side of the container, and a transverse axis (QH) of the hanger is disposed so as to be substantially transverse, preferably perpendicular, to the first transverse axis (B) of the container, and the hanger is bent in the direction of the lower side of the container.
A preform for producing a container container filled with an infusion solution and having a main body which includes a width extending along a first transverse axis (B) of the container, and a depth extending along a second transverse axis (T) of the container, which runs perpendicularly to the first transverse axis (B), and wherein the width of the main body is larger than the depth of the main body, wherein, the preform that results in the container comprises:
