Abstract: An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers includes a rotatable transport carrier on which a plurality of forming stations is arranged, and forming stations each having blow molding devices within which the plastic preforms can be formed into the plastic containers by applying a flowable medium. The forming stations each have stretching devices having at least one stretching rod which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the plastic preforms and introduced into the plastic preforms. The apparatus also has a clean room within which the plastic preforms are expanded to form the plastic containers. The stretching devices and the forming stations are each arranged on a mold carrier holder and are held thereby, so that the mold carrier holder is designed as a carrying device of the apparatus and walls of the clean room to delimit the apparatus from a non-sterile environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for making a reduced material container (105) are provided that hold a preform (130) adjacent to an open end (165) of the preform (130), stretch the preform (130), close a mold (110, 120) about the stretched preform (175) to form a truncated preform (185), and introduce a pressurized fluid (160) into the truncated preform (185) to expand the truncated preform (185) and form the reduced material container (105). A stretch rod (125) can be inserted into the preform (130) to mechanically stretching the preform (130). The mold (110, 120) accepts the preform (130) at a first end (135) thereof, has an open state and a closed state, and the closed state forms a cavity (140) defining an internal surface (145) having a second end (150) located remotely from the first end (135). A first length (155) is defined by a distance between the first end (135) and the second end (150), the stretch rod (125) mechanically stretching the preform (130) to a second length (170), the second length (170) being greater than the first length (155).
