Abstract

A blow-molding machine for producing blow-molded hollow bodies from a thermoplastic material, includes two blow-mold halves which can be horizontally displaced and provided with separate drive units for a transport drive and for the sequence of movements of the mold closing and locking device to open and close the blow mold halves. Conventional blow-molding machines are still equipped with hydraulic drives at least for the mold closing and locking device. In order to provide a blow-molding machine that can for example be operated under clean-room conditions, the drive unit of the blow-molding machine according to the invention is configured for the clamping elements of the mold closing and locking device as an electromotive direct drive with a spindle drive and a spindle mechanism with recirculating rollers.
