  • Stretch blow molding machines and processes are known for the production of plastic containers, in which a plastic preform produced by means of an injection molding process is first stretched within a blow mold with a stretching rod and then shaped into the finished container by pressurization at up to 40 bar.
  • the disadvantage here is the mechanical effort and energy consumption of the compressed air generation.
  • US Pat. No. 7,473,388 B2 describes a mold filling machine for PET bottles, in which the preform is first heated above the glass transition temperature and then inside a mold by an incompressible liquid, such as the product itself, for example. is formed and filled into the finished container.
  • a piston is provided, which in turn is controlled by means of compressed air.

  • the preform can be produced using an injection molding process and preferably comprise a mouth part for later closing of the finished container and a subsequent hollow body which is open on one side towards the mouth part and can be shaped by the molding fluid into the container body.
  • the shaped fluid can be a liquid, including those with carbon dioxide or the like dissolved therein, and by definition is an incompressible fluid with regard to its function in shaping and filling the containers, in contrast to a gas which is functionally defined as a compressible fluid.
  • the shaped fluid can be the product to be filled into the container or a product portion. However, it is also conceivable that the shaped fluid is a different fluid than the product. In other words, the mold filling machine can then be designed to form the preform with the molding fluid into the plastic container, then to suck the molding fluid again and then to fill the finished plastic container with the product.
  • the mold filling machine can comprise a transport device for transporting the plastic containers.
  • the transport device can be a conveyor belt or carousel.
  • the carousel can be designed to be rotatable about a vertical axis by means of a drive. "Vertical” here can mean that this is the direction that is directed towards the center of the earth.

As a result, the product can be used as a molded fluid for reshaping the plastic container and can then remain in the container. This makes the form filling machine particularly efficient.
  • the reaction chamber can be designed as a cavity which is integrated or separate in the valve head and / or in the treatment station.
  • the reaction chamber can be formed by a housing which is spherical, cylindrical or cuboid.
  • the reaction chamber can comprise an ignition element with which the ignitable gas mixture can be ignited.
  • the ignition element can preferably be electrically controllable.
  • the reaction chamber can be connected to at least one feed line for the ignitable gas mixture.
  • the reaction chamber can be connected to a plurality of feed lines in order to introduce individual components of the ignitable gas mixture individually into the reaction chamber. This enables the mold filling machine to work more safely, since the ignitable gas mixture only forms within the reaction chamber and not in the lines.
  • the ignitable gas mixture can include air, hydrogen, oxygen, natural gas and / or hydrocarbons.
  • the ignitable gas mixture can comprise chemical components that react chemically with one another during ignition and thereby expand.

  • the reaction chamber can be formed separately from the injection cylinder and can preferably be connected to the injection cylinder via lines such that the pressure in the reaction chamber is passed on to the injection cylinder via the lines. This ensures a mechanical decoupling of the reaction chamber from the injection cylinder, so that vibrations due to the ignition of the gas mixture are transmitted less strongly to the molding fluid.
  • the reaction chamber can be connected to the injection cylinder via an intermediate cylinder.
  • the intermediate cylinder can comprise a cylindrical cavity and a piston movable therein.
  • the reaction chamber can communicate with a first chamber of the intermediate cylinder and the injection cylinder with a second chamber of the intermediate cylinder, the first and second chambers being separated by the piston.

  • the vent connection can be connected to a gas storage device in order to recycle the pressurized, used gas mixture.
  • the reaction chamber can connect directly to the metering chamber in the injection cylinder, so that the pressure of the ignited gas mixture acts directly on a surface of the molding fluid during operation. This makes the form filling machine particularly easy to set up.
  • the injection cylinder can have a single chamber for the molded fluid to be injected and the ignitable gas mixture, which are separated only by the surface of the molded fluid.
  • the reaction chamber can be formed within the injection cylinder and the movable piston or the membrane can be designed as a separating element between the metering chamber and the reaction chamber.

L'invention concerne une machine de formage-remplissage (1) servant à démouler un contenant en matière plastique (2) d'une préforme (3) dans un moule creux (6) et servant à remplir de produit le contenant en matière plastique (2) dans le moule creux (6). La machine de formage-remplissage comprend une tête (10) de soupape, qui comprend un organe de remplissage (11) servant à transvaser un produit (30) dans le contenant en matière plastique (2) dans le moule creux (6). La machine de formage-remplissage est caractérisée en ce qu'une chambre de réaction (40) est prévue pour un mélange gazeux inflammable afin d'enfoncer un fluide de formage, en particulier le produit (30), par l'intermédiaire de la tête (10) de soupape dans le contenant en matière plastique (3) en enflammant le mélange gazeux.
