Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling an apparatus for furnishing articles is disclosed. A conveyor unit is used to convey the articles. At least one exchangeable furnishing unit is designed to exchange identification data and/or control information during connection to the apparatus with the apparatus and/or with the conveyor unit. At least one storage area is provided, wherein the storage area stores at least two furnishing units. An automatically controlled feeding and withdrawing unit is used to operatively connect the storage area with the apparatus.

Abstract: A method and a device for can manufacture and canning, having cans manufactured in a manufacturing process and filled in a filling process, the manufacturing process being integral with the filling process in one plant, and the cans being transported from the manufacturing process to the filling process in a hygienic conveyor.

Abstract: A device for the stretch blowing of plastic containers in a continuous single-stage process, having at least one injection rotor, with injection molds for preforms, which are fed via controlled valves from an extruder head and by way of a melt distributor from a central extruder, wherein the axis of the extruder is placed at least essentially in the axis of the injection pipe, and at least the extruder head and the melt distributor can be permanently and synchronously rotationally driven by the injection rotor. A method where, during the manufacture of each preform in the injection mold, injection molding phases and a compression molding or dwell pressure phase are combined and superimposed.

Abstract: A labelling machine and a method of applying information onto containers and/or labels by means of an ink jet printer which has at least one print head with at least one nozzle and in the case of which a cover can selectively be moved to a position in front of the discharge opening of the nozzle so as to recirculate ink discharged from the nozzle into the ink circuit. The printer can also be operated during a printing pause whereby the ink is prevented from drying up in the print head.

Abstract: A transport system for container processing machines, particularly for bottle fillers, with inlet and outlet stars, which can be driven and are arranged on columnar support housings, and define a star configuration, in which the inlet and outlet stars define container transport paths which are linked with the machine. Each support housing presents at least one, preferably lateral, connection interface, to which a joining end of a connection strut is attached, in a removable manner. The other joining end of the connection strut is connected, in a detachable manner, to a connection interface of an additional support housing or of a machine substructure. In each case, in such manner, the star configuration can be changed as desired in a modular manner.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing a label for a container, particularly for a bottle, which comprises a RFID production device, which is designed to form at least a part of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transponder during the manufacture of the label. Also, procedure for manufacturing a label for a container, particularly for a bottle, where at least apart of the RFID transponder is formed during the manufacture of the label.

Abstract: A process and a device for the manufacture of hollow plastic bodies, particularly of plastic bottles, in which plastic molding blanks are guided, by means of a shuttle system with at least one guide rail, through a tempering station, and are brought to a temperature which is suitable for extension blowing, whereby the plastic molding blanks are turned in their spatial orientation, by means of the shuttle system, through the twisting or curving of the at least one guide rail along the transport path.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for high-purity bottling of beverages and an apparatus for carrying out such a method. For achieving high-purity bottling within a confined space and for reducing the operating expenses in comparison with conventional plants, it is suggested that an immersion bath sterilizer should be connected directly to a rotary filling machine and that the rotary filling machine should be arranged in a clean room, whereas in the area of the bottle conveying path through said clean room ultraclean-room conditions are created.
