An apparatus (1) for the conveying of plastics material pre-forms (10) along a pre-set conveying path (P) with a first guide rail (2) and a second guide rail (4) for guiding the plastics material pre-forms (10), wherein the plastics material pre-forms (10) are guided between the guide rails (2, 4) and the guide rails (2, 4) have in each case first support faces (12, 14) which extend along the conveying path (P) and which support the plastics material pre-forms (10) during the conveying thereof. The apparatus (1) has a stressing device (42, 44) for acting upon the plastics material pre-forms (10) with a gaseous medium. The plastics material pre-forms are conveyed along their conveying path by being acted upon with the gaseous medium, and a geometrical position of the guide rails is capable of being altered with respect to each other.
An apparatus (1) for the conveying of plastics material pre-forms (10) along a pre-set conveying path (P) with a first guide rail (2) for guiding the plastics material pre-forms (10), with a second guide rail (4) for guiding the plastics material pre-forms (10), wherein the plastics material pre-forms (10) are capable of being guided between the guide rails (2, 4) and the guide rails (2, 4) have in each case first support faces (12, 14) which extend along the conveying path (P) and which support the plastics material pre-forms (10) during the conveying thereof, wherein the apparatus (1) has a stressing device (42, 44) for acting upon the plastics material pre-forms (10) with a gaseous medium, which stressing device (42, 44) is designed in such a way that the plastics material pre-forms are conveyed along their conveying path by being acted upon with the gaseous medium, and wherein a geometrical position of the guide rails is capable of being altered with respect to each other and wherein at least one guide rail has a second support face (14,16) which extends along the conveying path (P) of the plastics material pre-forms (10), in such a way that the plastics material pre-forms (10) are capable of being optionally supported by means of the first support face (12) or the second support face (14, 16) during their conveying.
A guide rail (2, 4) for the conveying of plastics material pre-forms (10), wherein the guide rail (2, 4) extends along a pre-set longitudinal direction and wherein the guide rail has a first support face (12) which likewise extends along the pre-set longitudinal direction and by means of which the plastics material pre-form (10) is capable of being supported during the conveying thereof, wherein the guide rail (2, 4) has a second support face (14, 16) which extends along the pre-set longitudinal direction and by means of which the plastics material pre-form (10) is capable of being supported during the conveying thereof, and wherein the two support faces (12, 14, 16) are formed on the guide rail (2, 4) in such a way that the plastics material pre-form is capable of being optionally supported by the first support face (12) or the second support face (14, 16) during its conveying.
An apparatus (1) for the conveying of plastics material pre-forms (10) along a pre-set conveying path (P) with a first guide rail (2) for guiding the plastics material pre-forms (10), with a second guide rail (4) for guiding the plastics material pre-forms (10) , wherein the plastics material pre-forms (10) are capable of being guided between the guide rails (2, 4) and the guide rails (2, 4) have in each case first support faces (12, 14) which extend along the conveying path (P) and which support the plastics material pre-forms (10) during the conveying thereof, wherein the apparatus (1) has a stressing device (42, 44) for acting upon the plastics material pre-forms (10) with a gaseous medium, which stressing device (42, 44) is designed in such a way that the plastics material pre-forms are conveyed along their conveying path by being acted upon with the gaseous medium, and wherein a geometrical position of the guide rails is capable of being altered with respect to each other, wherein an air shaft of the apparatus has two separate air shafts (56, 57) and wherein the separate air shafts are formed by at least one displaceable air shaft (56) and one stationary air shaft (57).
