A container-handling device includes two rotors, holders that are arranged around a periphery of the first rotor and receptacles around the first rotor such that as it rotates, the receptacles pass through distinct angular ranges. When a receptacle has a container, relative movement therebetween causes its centering element and its counter-bearing to clamp a container between them with the holder engaging the container above the counter-bearing A first partial-stroke occurs while the receptacle is in a first angular region and a second partial-stroke occurs after the receptacle has left the first angular region. During the first partial-stroke, the centering element bears against a container's mouth with a pressure, and, during the second partial-stroke, this pressure increases.

The invention relates to a bearing arrangement between a carrier () for pressing and/or brushing elements () and a rotor () of a labeling machine (), said rotor driven about a vertical machine axis (MA), with at least one first bearing element () provided on the rotor and a second bearing element () provided on the carrier (), wherein the bearing elements abut one another across bearing surfaces forming a sliding bearing.

A beverage bottling plant for filling bottles or containers with a liquid beverage which has a labeling device for labeling the bottles or containers. The labeling device has at least two labeling stations, wherein at least one labeling station can be moved from an operating position to a rest position when its supply of labels is exhausted, while at least one other labeling station can be moved from a rest position to an operating position to permit a substantially continuous feed and application of labels to bottles or containers.

Process and apparatus for the cleaning of container handling machines such as beverage can filling machines. In the beverage industry, it is conventional to subject the container handling machines to an intensive cleaning. For this purpose, the prior art discloses washing containers which, by means of ball catches or other types of connections, are fastened to the individual handling stations or filling valves. This fastening is accomplished either by hand or by placing the washing containers on the support plate for the cans or bottles, whereby the washing containers are moved into the lower portion of the filling mechanism by means of elevating mechanisms. One disadvantage of this method is that the majority of the work involved in inserting the washing containers must be done manually. The object of the invention is to achieve an improvement, which is to be seen in the fact that a separate feed device can be moved from outside into contact with the ring gear of the container handling machine, brought together with the ring gear into a transfer position, and the individual washing containers can then be fed to this feed device one after another, and can be moved by this feed device into a locking position and circulated along with the handling stations, and after the completion of the washing process, the washing containers are separated from the handling stations by elements of the feed device, and removed from the ring gear away from the container handling machine.
