Abstract
An apparatus for molding plastic preforms into plastic containers, includes at least one blow molding station having a cavity, within which the plastic preforms can be expanded into the plastic containers, wherein the blow molding station includes a base part that delimits the cavity and wherein the base part is releasably mounted on a carrier by a fastening mechanism. The apparatus includes a force application member to which an engageable force can be applied and which generates in a fixed condition of the base part on the carrier a holding force that keeps the base part and the carrier together.

An apparatus for moulding plastic preforms into plastic containers, comprising at least one blow moulding station having a cavity, within which the plastic preforms can be expanded into plastic containers, wherein the blow moulding station includes a base part that delimits the cavity and wherein the base part is releasably mounted on a carrier using a fastening mechanism,
- wherein the apparatus includes a force application member to which an engageable force can be applied and which generates in a fixed condition of the base part on the carrier a holding force that keeps the base part and the carrier together, and wherein the engageable force applied to the force application member comprises a flowable medium or a magnetic force.
A method for fastening a base part of an apparatus for moulding plastic preforms into plastic containers on a carrier,
- wherein by applying an engageable force onto a force application member, a holding force is generated or increased between the carrier and the base part.
