An apparatus includes a first operating machine arranged for processing objects, a second operating machine positioned downstream of the first operating machine and arranged for further processing the objects, an accumulating arrangement interposed between the first operating machine and the second operating machine and arranged for receiving the objects, and a command and control arrangement arranged for detecting a parameter indicating the quantity of the objects contained in the accumulating arrangement and regulating the operation of the second operating machine on the basis of the parameter. A method includes dispensing synthetic plastics in a pasty state, compression-moulding the plastics to obtain a perform, blowing the perform to obtain a container, and filling the container with a product. Each step maintains its own regulated temperature so that the dispensing temperature is greater than the blowing temperature and the blowing temperature is greater than the filling temperature.
Apparatus comprising a compression-moulding machine, suitable for compression-moulding plastics to obtain preforms, a blow-moulding machine, suitable for blowing said preforms to obtain containers, a thermal conditioning station for said preforms, interposed between said compression-moulding machine and said blow-moulding machine, a moving arrangement for moving said preforms to an intermediate zone between said compression-moulding machine and said thermal conditioning station, wherein said moving arrangement is configured so as to advance said preforms along advance paths of variable length to vary the dwelling time of said preforms in said intermediate zone and wherein said moving arrangement comprises a moving carousel arrangement and a supporting carousel arrangement rotatably supported by said moving carousel arrangement.
Apparatus, comprising a compression-moulding machine arranged for compression-moulding plastics to obtain preforms, a blow-moulding machine arranged for blowing said preforms to obtain containers, a moving arrangement arranged for removing said preforms from said compression-moulding machine and delivering said preforms to said blow-moulding machine, a filling machine arranged for filling said containers with a product and a transferring device arranged for transferring said containers from said blow-moulding machine to said filling machine maintaining said containers spaced apart from one another, wherein said transferring device comprises a rotating body that supports a handling element arranged for removing, retaining and delivering said containers, wherein said handling element comprises a first supporting element supported by said rotating body and movable with respect to said rotating body and a second supporting element supported by said first supporting element and movable with respect to said first supporting element, to said second supporting element there being connected a gripping element arranged for interacting with said containers.
Apparatus, comprising a moulding machine provided with a movable supporting device that supports a mould arrangement comprising a compression-moulding arrangement arranged for compression-moulding plastics to obtain preforms and a blow-moulding arrangement arranged for blowing said preforms to obtain containers, said apparatus further comprising a filling machine arranged for filling said containers with a product and a moving arrangement arranged for removing said containers from said moulding machine and for delivering said containers to said filling machine, wherein said moving arrangement comprises a step-varying carousel arranged for removing said containers according to a removal step and delivering said containers according to a delivery step that is different from said removal step.
