CONVERSION OF ELECTRICAL BRAKING ENERGY INTO HEATING ENERGY IN A PROCESS OF FORMING CONTAINERS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for molding containers, in which preforms made of a thermoplastic material are heated in the area of a heating device (2) and then transferred to a molding device (3) in which the preforms are applied to the containers by the action of pressure within molds are reshaped, characterized in that one or more electric motors (M) of a device (1) in the event of a braking process partially or completely feed electrical braking energy into the heating device (2), a brake switch (5 ) can be controlled, which connects the connections of the electric motor (M) to the heating device (2) when an electrical brake contact (6) is closed. In addition, the invention relates to a device for performing the method.
