Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for producing containers, such as e.g. bottles, in which different types of bottles are produced. Alternative treatment methods are used depending on the type of bottle to be produced. For example, a cooling treatment is carried out when producing bottles for carbonated beverages and a sterilisation treatment is carried out when producing bottles for non-carbonated beverages.
Claims34
A device for producing plastic containers, wherein the device comprises at least one container production machine, a container treatment station and a container filling machine, wherein an outlet of the container production machine is actively connected to an inlet of the container treatment station and an outlet of the container treatment station is actively connected to an inlet of the container filling machine, and wherein the container treatment station comprises a plurality of treatment units, wherein at least two treatment units are provided for different types of plastic containers, wherein different treatments can be carried out depending on the type of container, characterized by a control system for activation of or deactivation of the treatment units, depending on whether the containers are being produced for carbonated beverages or for non-carbonated beverages.
A method for producing plastic containers, comprising the steps of producing the containers in a container production machine;
- treating the containers in a container treatment station;
- and filling of the containers in a container filling machine, wherein the step of treating the containers takes place temporally between the production step and the filling step and may include different treatments, wherein plastic containers with different mechanical properties can be produced, characterized in that at least two treatment units of the container treatment station, which execute different treatments of the containers and which are activated or deactivated by a control system, depending on whether the containers are being produced for carbonated beverages or for non-carbonated beverages.
