A method for adapting motion profiles of a plurality of individually controllable transport elements for transporting containers in a container treatment system along a transport path, wherein the plurality of transport elements are movably arranged along the transport path, the method includes the following steps: determining a treatment state of at least one container carried along by a first transport element, and/or determining an operational state of at least one first container treatment unit which is arranged downstream with respect to a position of the first transport element along the transport path, wherein the first transport element is moved by an open- and/or closed-loop control unit of the container treatment system as part of a stream of transport elements, and wherein the motion profile of the first transport element is adapted by the open- and/or closed-loop control unit in response to the determined treatment state and/or the determined operational state.

Device and method for moving transport elements in a container treatment system

A transport system for containers includes a plurality of vehicles configured to be driven independently of each other. A guiding device is configured to guide the vehicles in a circulating manner. A plurality of mold shells are configured to encompass a side wall of the containers about a partial circumferential area of the side wall, the plurality of mold shells being mounted on respective ones of the plurality of vehicles so as to receive the containers between adjacent mold shells of adjacent vehicles and transport them.

Means of transport for containers and method for the transport of containers

A storage device for a filling line for intermediately storing runners that are configured to accommodate containers includes a buffer stream configured to receive the runners with a variable intermediate storage capacity of the runners. An introduction device is configured to introduce the runners, independently of each other, from a storage area into the buffer stream.
