Abstract
A container handling machine for handling bottles, cans, or similar containers. The container handling machine has a non-rotatable central pillar which, in rotary handling machines, can be used to support a rotatable carousel. The central pillar may also be used to house power conduits, control conduits, and fluid conduits for the container handling machine. The central pillar may also form part of a support framework and may be used to transmit torque forces produced during operation of the container handling machine to support a framework.
