Abstract: Container drying device of the spin-dryer type includes at least two booths, each being adapted to accommodate at least one stack of containers, the at least one stack of containers being loaded into the at least two booths in a loading direction, an axis of rotation about which the container drying device being rotatable, extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the loading direction, and being arranged centrally in the container drying device; and a closing device being movable between a closed position in which the closing device closes the at least two booths at least partially and an open position in which the at least one stack of containers may be loaded into and/or removed from each of the at least two booths, the at least two booths being arranged excentrically, symmetrically on opposite sides of the axis of rotation and substantially in parallel with each other.
