Abstract

A container treatment system () that has at least two working areas (AP). Each of the working areas (AP) respectively comprises at least one exchangeable working tool () and/or one adaptable format part. Furthermore, the container treatment system () comprises at least one automatic exchange machine () which is movable, in particular drivable, to the at least two working areas (AP), which automatic exchange machine () can be connected selectively to any of the respective working areas (AP), in particular using centering means (), and which automatic exchange machine () comprises tools for exchanging the working tools () and/or for adapting the format parts of the respective working area (AP). The invention further relates to an automatic exchange machine () for exchanging working tools () and/or for adapting the format parts of at least two different working areas (AP) of a container treatment system ().
