The invention relates to a method and to a device for treating containers relating especially to cleaning plastic bottles () preferably in the inverted position. Each container is thereby subjected to a treatment medium () applied and/or introduced thereto. Electrically charged ions introduced into the treatment medium () serve to balance the charge of each container. According to the invention, the treatment medium () is tested for the presence of ions.

Method and device for treating containers

An apparatus for fixing a sheet on the surface of an electrically conductive cylinder of a printing machine for processing sheets, in particular, a sheet-fed offset printing machine. The apparatus includes an electrode that extends over the width of the cylinder for creating an electric field for adhering the sheet to the surface of the cylinder and an air directing device for directing pressurized air streams against the sheet and preliminary positioning the sheet onto the cylinder prior to being acted upon by the electric field. Various alternative embodiments of the sheet fixing apparatus are disclosed.

Device for guiding sheets

The invention relates to an electrostatic printing aid to assist with the transfer of printing ink that contains flammable solvents during printing with a high-voltage generator for generating an electrostatic high voltage and with a voltage device to transfer the high voltage onto a web to be printed that is in contact with a printing cylinder or plate, characterized in that the high-voltage generator is equipped with an output limiter and in that the voltage transfer device comprises slip rings, slip ring brushes, contact rollers or springs, and/or electrically conductive roller or ball bearings.
