Abstract
Invention relates to a closing apparatus for capping vessels having means for permitting a faster and easier connection and disconnection of a wash flushing device. A flushing element cap is provided which is inserted into the opening which is located at the bottom surface of the pressing means where closing caps are secured to the mouth of a vessel. A channel is formed which permits the flushing of the surfaces of the closing tool exposed to the fluids contained in the vessels. Utilizing the flushing cap element results in a compact structure that requires little space, so that cumbersome and time-consuming equipment changes are avoided during a cleaning operation of the closing apparatus.
