Abstract: Using a transporter to either transport a first package or to simultaneously transport several packages, one of which is the first package includes using a double conveyor of the transporter to execute a first rotational movement of at least the first package, using a monitor, detecting an actual orientation of the first package, comparing an actual orientation of the first package with a predetermined setpoint orientation, detecting a deviation between the actual orientation and the setpoint orientation, and causing the transporter to carry out a second rotation of the first package.

Abstract: Handling arrangement for handling individual containers or groups of containers having movable container handling structures for handling containers being moved thereby. Each of the container handling structures is adjustable using one or more positioning devices. Upon changing container types and/or container groupings, the container handling structures can be adjusted in their positions so as to handle the different containers.

Abstract: A system for handling and/or treating packaging means and method for the format-compatible adjustment of such a system, a method for adjusting the format or changing-over the format of a system configured to treat, handle, and process containers or groups of containers, and an arrangement therefor.

Abstract: A packaging machine with a movable centering and lowering device for inserting partitions between groups of bottles or cans and a method of operation thereof. The movable centering and lowering device is designed to move with a group of bottles or cans and insert a divider between the bottles or cans in the group as the group moves through the packaging machine. The movable centering and lowering device is also adjustable to permit handling of dividers of different size and configuration.
