An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, includes at least one forming station which forms the plastic preforms into the plastic containers by applying a flowable medium to the plastic preforms, wherein the forming station comprises a blow mold (26), and a rod-like body which is insertable into the plastic preforms via a mouth of the plastic preforms, and a moving device which is configured for moving the rod-like body in the longitudinal direction of the plastic performs. The rod-like body has a channel for guiding the flowable medium, and the forming station has a valve device controlling the supply of the flowable medium into the channel. The said valve device is arranged on the moving device and/or a ratio between an inner diameter of the rod-like body and an outer diameter of said rod-like body is, at least in sections, smaller than or equal to 0.5.
An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, having at least one forming station configured to form the plastic preforms into the plastic containers by being acted upon by a flowable medium, wherein the forming station has a blow mould configured to form a hollow space within which the plastic preforms can be formed into the plastic containers, and wherein the forming station further comprises an application device configured to act upon the plastic preforms with the flowable medium and a rod-like body configured for introduction into the plastic preforms via a mouth of the plastic preforms, and a moving device which is configured to move the rod-like body in the longitudinal direction of the plastic preforms, wherein the rod-like body forms a channel configured for conducting the flowable medium, and the forming station comprises valve device configured to control the feed of the flowable medium into the channel,
A rod-like body for stretching plastic preforms, wherein the rod-like body has a channel configured for conducting a flowable medium and the rod-like body has a predetermined outer diameter as well as a predetermined inner diameter and the rod-like body has a length of between 500 mm and 1000 mm, wherein
A method for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers using a forming station for forming the plastic preforms into the plastic containers by acting upon the plastic performs with a flowable medium, wherein the forming station comprises a blow mould which forms a cavity within which the plastic preforms are formed into the plastic containers, and wherein the forming station further comprises an application device which acts upon the plastic preforms with the flowable medium and a rod-like body which is inserted into the plastic preforms via a mouth of the plastic preforms, and wherein a moving device moves said rod-like body in the longitudinal direction of the plastic preforms, wherein said rod-like body forming a channel for guiding the flowable medium, and a valve device of the forming station controls the supply of the flowable medium into said channel,
