The invention relates to a device () for equipping containers (), preferably with labels () or prints. The device has at least one equipping device () for equipping containers () and a planar drive system () with a base element () and at least one movement device (). The at least one movement device () has a container carrier () for holding a container (). The at least one movement device () can be moved to the at least one equipping device () by means of magnetic interaction with the base element () in order to equip the container () held in the container carrier (). The device () can be used very flexibly.

Device for equipping containers

The invention relates, inter alia, to a device for conveying containers for a container processing facility. The device has a first, preferably continuous, container conveyor, a second, preferably continuous, container conveyor, which has multiple preferably plate-shaped carriers for transporting the containers, and a transfer station by use of which the containers can be removed from the first container conveyor and positioned on the multiple carriers of the second container conveyor. Advantageously, the device allows unstable containers to be transported securely and these containers to be buffered by use of the carriers.

Device for conveying containers and use thereof

Disclosed is a container treatment apparatus for transporting plastic containers and in particular plastic preforms along a predetermined transport path, wherein the container treatment apparatus has at least one transport device having a plurality of holding elements, wherein the transport device is a pitch distribution starwheel having a movement device configured to allow movement of the holding elements in at least two planes.

Apparatus and method for treating and in particular sterilising containers

A container treatment apparatus includes a transport apparatus for transporting containers along a predetermined transport path, wherein the transport apparatus has at least one transport device () for transporting the containers () and at least one container treatment device () for treating the container in a predetermined manner, wherein the transport devices include a rotatable carrier on which a plurality of holding elements () for holding at least one container is arranged. The container treatment device is arranged to treat the containers transported by the transport device and the holding element is rotatable such that the container held by the holding element is rotatable with respect to its longitudinal direction and the container treatment apparatus includes a monitoring device for monitoring the rotational movement of the containers.

An apparatus for filling containers with a carrier on which a container to be filled can be placed and fixed, wherein the support is pivotable with respect to a pivot axis which extends at an angle other than 0° with respect to a longitudinal direction of the container to be filled, with a first filling device, in order to fill the container in a first pivoted position of the container with respect to the pivot axis via its mouth, and having a rinsing device in order to rinse the container in a second pivot position of the container with respect to the pivot axis through its mouth, in particular with a liquid.

Apparatus and method for filling containers

Disclosed is a container treatment apparatus and treatment method, in particular a container sterilisation apparatus, having a plurality of transport devices for transporting a container along a predetermined transport path, at least one of the transport devices having at least one holding device for holding at least one container during container treatment and/or transport along the transport path, the transport device having a rotatable carrier and a plurality of holding elements arranged on this carrier, wherein a holding element in a first sector, in which a container is received, having a height with respect to a perpendicular projection of the transport path which is different from that in a second sector in which a container is dispensed, and wherein a sector in which an at least partial compensation of the height difference of the holding elements takes place lies along a direction of rotation of the carrier after the second sector and before the first sector.

A device for transporting objects, preferably containers, along a transport path. A control unit is configured to operate the device in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode. In the first operating mode and in the second operating mode the objects are transported in each case by pairs which are formed in each case from one of the first movement devices and one of the second movement devices. In the first operating mode, the pairs are formed such that the first movement device is positioned in a direction of the transport path upstream of the second movement device of the respective pair. In the second operating mode, the positioning is reversed. The device advantageously makes it possible for different objects to be able to be transported without a mechanical adjustment relative to the format and for a relatively small spacing to be able to be achieved.

Transport of objects having different formats

The invention relates, inter alia, to a device for transporting objects. The device has a guide track and at least one movement device having a main body and a bracket for holding an object. The bracket is connected to the main body pivotably about a pivot axis, and the pivot axis is oriented at an angle to a vertical axis of the at least one movement device. A pivoting device is arranged separately from the at least one movement device and is designed to cause the bracket to pivot about the pivot axis. The device makes it possible for different handling devices with differing requirements on an orientation of the object to be able to be run with just one movement device without it being necessary, in the meantime, to hand the object over from the movement device.

Device and method for transporting objects

Apparatus for treating containers includes a handling device for the containers wherein the handling devices has a movable carrier with which the containers can be moved on a transport path, and wherein the handling devices is assigned at least one handling station, wherein the transport speed of the handling device can be controlled in such a way that the transport speed of the handling device can be synchronised with the transport speed of the transport device and/or a further transport device during transfer and/or discharge of the containers and the transport speed of the handling device can be reduced after the transfer of the containers.

Apparatus and method for treating containers

The invention relates to a container processing system (A-U) for processing containers (). The container processing system (A-U) has a plurality of processing units () for processing the containers () and a planar drive system () for transporting the containers (). The planar drive system () is configured to move the plurality of movement devices () individually to a selection of the plurality of processing units () according to in each case one of a plurality of processing profiles for different container processing, wherein each of the plurality of processing profiles has a different selection of the plurality of processing units (). The container processing system (A-U) advantageously allows flexible processing of different containers (different formats, contents, designs, bundles, packages, etc.) from a lot size of 1.

Container processing system

A method for format adaptation of carriages for the transportation of bottles on a linear motor system and a corresponding linear motor system are described. According thereto, container guides provided on the carriages are adapted to the body cross-section of the bottles by adjusting a guide width in an automated manner between guide jaws of the container guides which in relation to the direction of travel are the leading and trailing ones. There is then no need to replace component parts at the container guides, and the production in filling systems is optimised in terms of staff requirements, resultant production stoppages, and error sources.

Method for format adaptation of carriages on a linear motor system, and linear motor system

Provided is an apparatus for filling containers with a positioning surface on which a container to be filled can be arranged, with a filling device which is suitable and intended for filling the container via its container opening. According to embodiments of the invention, the apparatus has a contour detection device which is suitable and intended for determining a contour of the container to be filled, as well as a determination device which, taking into account the contour of the container, detects an internal volume of the container.
