Abstract: A clamp device for retaining a container in a container-handling apparatus, for example for retaining a drinks container at a neck portion or at a body portion, includes two clamp arms, which each have a retaining portion for retaining the container which is to be retained, and at least one prestressing element for prestressing the retaining portions towards one another, wherein for the purpose of adjusting the distance which is present between the retaining portions, the clamp arms are designed in a displaceable manner in relation to the prestressing of the at least one prestressing element. A container-handling apparatus having at least one clamp device is also described.

Abstract: The invention relates inter alia to a clamp apparatus for retaining a container for a container treatment installation. A first clamp arm pair and a second clamp arm pair are arranged one above the other in order to simultaneously retain the container. A first drive unit is in order to actuate the first clamp arm pair operationally connected to the first clamp arm pair, and a second drive unit is in order to actuate the second clamp arm pair operationally connected to the second clamp arm pair. Advantageously, the clamp apparatus may, for example, be particularly flexible and structural-space-saving.

Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to a clamp device for holding a container for a container processing plant. The clamp device has a first clamp arm pair and a second clamp arm pair, which are arranged one above the other for the simultaneous holding of the container and which can be pivoted independently of one another, preferably coaxially. The clamp device advantageously enables the container to be held on different external shapes and/or external dimensions of the container, thereby making it possible to improve process reliability and product quality.

Abstract: A device for transporting containers with a transport wheel, which includes: a central connection configured to fasten the transport wheel to a central rotational shaft, so that a rotation of the central rotational shaft about the rotational axis thereof is able to be transmitted to the transport wheel; a plurality of discs which are concentrically stacked one on top of the other relative to the rotational axis in the axial direction and which in each case have at least one recess, which jointly form a receiving region which is provided on an outer circumference of the transport wheel, wherein at least one of the discs is a fixed disc and at least one of the discs is an adjustment disc; and an adjustment mechanism which is configured to rotate the adjustment disc by an adjustment angle, whereby the size of the receiving region is adjustable.
