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.

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 printing on containers, in particular non-rotationally symmetric containers, including at least one printing unit including at least one print head, a conveying system, which includes a plurality of container reception means arranged for rotation about axes of rotation and which is configured such that the container reception components circulate on a closed path and a print area of an outer surface of a container accommodated in a container reception components is movable past the print head, and at least one first drive adapted to rotate the container reception component, accommodating the container, about its axis of rotation by at least one open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit, the first drive being adapted to be variably controlled such that the print area is moved past the print head at a predetermined, substantially constant printing distance.

Device and method for printing on containers

A printing machine for printing onto containers, such as bottles, having at least a conveyor and a printing unit with a print head module, with at least one print head, a movement system for adjusting the position of the print head module, a measuring system for determining the position of the print head module and a control unit for controlling the movement system, where the movement system comprises a radial module for adjusting the position of the print head module in the radial direction and a height module for adjusting the height of the print head module in the vertical direction.
