The invention concerns an apparatus (10; 60) for blowing and filling a plastic container from a preform, comprising:
- a mould (12; 62) for enclosing a preform so as to leave access to the mouth of the preform that protrudes from the upper surface (12c; 62;) of the mould,
- blowing means for blowing the preform enclosed within the mould,
- an injection head (24; 64) for injecting a liquid into the preform, the injection head being in sealing engagement with the upper surface of the mould around the protruding preform mouth, characterized in that the apparatus comprises liquid collecting means (34, 36; 66, 68) for collecting the residual liquid that is present between the injection head and the neck (18) of the blown and liquid filled container (14), the liquid collecting means being suitable for collecting the residual liquid before opening of the mould and/or moving away the injection head from the mould. |
