Abstract: The invention concerns a rotating apparatus (1) for the handling of objects, in particular containers (20), for example for the filling of the containers. The rotating apparatus comprises a stationary assembly (10) and a rotating assembly (14) which is rotatable with respect to the stationary assembly (10) and is driven by a rotary drive. According to the invention there is provided on the rotating assembly (14) at least one discharge opening (46) for the discharge of a cleaning fluid for cleaning a shielding wall (22) being stationary during the rotational operation of the rotating assembly and optionally for cleaning other stationary components (30). The at least one discharge opening (46) is connected to a stationary cleaning fluid supply via a revolving joint (42).
