Abstract:
1. An injection blow molding machine for plastic containers, comprising at least one injection molding rotor having a plurality of injection molding units which are suppliable with plasticized plastic material and which include individual, splited mold cavities for preforms, a transfer rotor equipped with controlled transfer elements and used for transferring the individual preforms to a blow molding rotor including a plurality of blow molds for stretch blow molding the plastic containers, a removal rotor equipped with controlled removal elements, the injection molding rotor, transfer rotor, blow molding rotor, and removal rotor being arranged in a substantially common operating plane, each mold cavity in the injection molding rotor being partly delimited by a split neck molding part which fits into each blow mold of the blow molding rotor, and wherein during use of the respective transfer element, a preform can, together with the neck molding part, be removed from a mold cavity substantially parallel to the operating plane and introduced in a blow mold, and upon use of a removal element, a container can, together with the neck molding part, be removed from the blow mold substantially parallel to the operating plane, and the neck molding part, which then no longer contains the container, can be reintroduced in a mold cavity, and wherein a plasticizing screw rotates together with the injection molding rotor.
