Patent ID: 11376780

Abstract:
Apparatus (1) for treating plastic preforms (10) with a preform sorting device (2) comprising a sorting device (3) and a damming device (5) which transports the plastic preforms (10) along a first rectilinear transport path (T1), wherein the sorting device (3) is suitable and intended to bring the plastic preforms (10) into a predetermined orientation and the damming device (5) is suitable and intended to feed the plastic preforms (10) in an ordered manner to a heating device (12) arranged downstream of the preform sorting device (2), which heats the plastic preforms (10) to a temperature necessary for blow moulding, wherein the heating device (12) transports the plastic preforms (10) along a substantially second rectilinear transport path (T2) and a plurality of stationary arranged heating elements (14) are arranged along the second rectilinear transport path (T2). According to the invention, the preforms sorting device (2) and the heating device (12) are arranged on a common carrier (9).
