Estimating the term…
An apparatus for heating plastic preforms with a transport device which includes holding devices for holding the plastic preforms and wherein the transport path has at least one heating portion inside which the plastic preforms are heated, and with a heating device arranged stationary at least in portions along the transport path and which heats the plastic preforms transported by the transport device during their transport through the heating portion, wherein the heating device has at least one in particular stationary applicator device which is configured for bombarding the plastic preforms with microwaves to heat them. In the heating portion, the transport device is arranged relative to the applicator device such that at least parts of the holding devices are arranged outside the applicator device, wherein the applicator device is configured to receive several plastic preforms simultaneously for at least some of the time.
An apparatus for heating plastic preforms with a transport device Which transports the plastic preforms along a predefined transport path, wherein the transport device comprises holding devices for holding the plastic preforms and wherein said transport path has at least one heating portion inside which the plastic preforms are heated, and with a heating device which is arranged in particular stationarily at least in. portions along the transport path and which heats the plastic preforms transported by the transport device during their transport through the heating portion, wherein the heating device has at least one in particular stationary applicator device which is configured for bombarding the plastic preforms with microwaves in order to heat them,
A method for heating plastic preforms, wherein the plastic preforms are transported along a predefined transport path by a transport device, wherein the transport device comprises holding devices for holding the plastic preforms and wherein this transport path has at least one heating portion inside which the plastic preforms are heated, and with a heating device which is arranged in particular stationarily at least in portions along the transport path and which heats the plastic preforms transported by the transport device during their transport through the heating portion, wherein the heating device has a stationary applicator device which bombards the plastic preforms with microwaves in order to heat them,
