Abstract
A device and a method for orienting objects, in particular preforms for the manufacture of plastic containers, where the preforms are handed over to the entry side of an orientation section via a feeding conveyor, and a discharge means is provided which returns non-oriented preforms via a return feeder. For a constructively simple and quick return, the discharge means is connected directly with the entry side of the orientation section via the return conveyor.
