Claim:
An apparatus for producing plastic hollow bodies using a extrusion blow molding process, comprising: an extrusion unit, which has an extruder defining a longitudinal direction of the apparatus, the extruder unit being mounted in a housing frame; an extruder head connected to the extruder and having at least one extrusion nozzle; and at least one molding tool, which is provided with an opening disposed on a side of the molding tool toward the extrusion nozzle, and which is movably mounted along a lateral path extending essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction from a terminal position laterally of the extruder head into a position beneath the extruder head and back again, such that the extrusion nozzle and the opening of the molding tool coincide vertically with one another, the extrusion unit being vertically inclinable and laterally pivotable in the housing by a pivotable support, and being mounted for displacement in the longitudinal direction.
