APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE CONTROLLED HEATING OF PLASTIC RECEPTACLES

摘要

An apparatus for heating plastic receptacles and particularly plastic parisons may include a transport device, which transports the plastic receptacles along a predetermined transport path, a microwave generation device, and a routing device, which routes the microwaves in the direction of the plastic receptacles which are to be heated The routing device may be at least sectionally in the form of a hollow conductor. The apparatus includes a control device which is in a form such that it controls the microwave energy hitting the plastic receptacles during the heating process.
