<p>The present invention relates to a preform handling and cooling device (4, 5), particularly for preforms made of PET, which can take the preforms from a holding device (3, 4) disposed outside the moulding region of a press. The handling and cooling device (4, 5) can translate towards the holding device (3, 4), take the preforms, holding them on a portion (4', 5') which faces the holding device (3, 4), return to its previous position, and rotate so as to turn towards the holding device a further portion (4'', 5'') of the handling and cooling device (4, 5) which was not previously facing it. The handing and cooling device also has means for cooling the preforms. The device enables the preforms to be discharged at a temperature suitable for preventing mutual adhesion between the preforms in the storage containers, by means of a compact structure and with small operating spaces.</p> |
