A sealing ring for sealing a second component, which rotates in relation to a first component, for example for sealing a distribution channel of a rotary media distributor in a beverage filling system is described. The sealing ring includes an annular seal main body to be accommodated on the first component and a wear profiled element arranged radially within the seal main body for contacting the second component in a sealing manner, wherein the seal main body has at least one region of reduced radius in order to enable deformation of the seal main body as the seal main body is assembled with the first component.

Sealing ring

A capper used for a great variety of containers and comprising a container carrier, which is adapted to be driven by a capper drive motor for transporting the containers on a lower part, and an upper part, which carries at least one closing element and which is also adapted to be driven by the capper drive motor, the upper part being vertically adjustable relative to the lower part at least for adaptation to different container heights, and where the upper part is vertically adjusted by the capper drive motor, and that a clutch system is provided, which is adapted to be selectively switched between a drive function and an upper-part height adjustment function.
