Apparatus

An apparatus for producing container products made of plastic materials, having a moulding device, which can be fed with a moulded tube of plasticised plastic material using an extrusion head and which has movable mould surfaces that are adapted to a predefinable container geometry, against which the moulded tube can be placed for a blow-moulding, filling and/or sealing process, wherein a guiding and holding device is provided, which has movable guiding and holding parts that can be controlled in such a manner that, in at least one of the possible functional positions outside the moulding area of the moulding device, said guiding and holding parts engage on the respective plastic material which at least partially surrounds the finished container products, wherein the plastic material, which is formed as a card and establishes a material connection between a finished container product, which has already left the moulding device, and an at least partially finished container product, which is still located in the moulding device, can be severed by means of a separating device.

A method for producing container products from plastic materials, wherein container products produced sequentially in time using a moulding device are connected to each other via a web-like material connection, wherein the material connection is severed at a predefinable point below the moulding device by a separating device.

A method for producing container products from plastic materials, wherein the blow-moulding, filling, sealing and separation of the filled container products from the moulded tube is carried out along a main or moulding axis which extends vertically.
