A device for transporting containers with a transport wheel, which includes: a central connection configured to fasten the transport wheel to a central rotational shaft, so that a rotation of the central rotational shaft about the rotational axis thereof is able to be transmitted to the transport wheel; a plurality of discs which are concentrically stacked one on top of the other relative to the rotational axis in the axial direction and which in each case have at least one recess, which jointly form a receiving region which is provided on an outer circumference of the transport wheel, wherein at least one of the discs is a fixed disc and at least one of the discs is an adjustment disc; and an adjustment mechanism which is configured to rotate the adjustment disc by an adjustment angle, whereby the size of the receiving region is adjustable.

Device and method for transporting containers

A clamp device for retaining a container in a container-handling apparatus, for example for retaining a drinks container at a neck portion or at a body portion, includes two clamp arms, which each have a retaining portion for retaining the container which is to be retained, and at least one prestressing element for prestressing the retaining portions towards one another, wherein for the purpose of adjusting the distance which is present between the retaining portions, the clamp arms are designed in a displaceable manner in relation to the prestressing of the at least one prestressing element. A container-handling apparatus having at least one clamp device is also described.
