Abstract: Described and illustrated is a device for filling and/or processing packagings, in particular composite cardboard packagings, and/or for processing packages, preferably comprising composite cardboard packagings, with a space delimited at least partially by side walls, in particular for receiving a sterile or aseptic atmosphere, with at least one cell carrier for receiving at least one packaging and/or package and with at least one transport device for transporting the packagings and/or packages at least partially and at least in sections through the space. In order to easily and reliably achieve a sterile or aseptic atmosphere in the limited space, it is provided that at least one side wall with a lower edge is immersed in a liquid bath and that the at least one cell carrier is guided beneath the side wall through the liquid bath outwards to the transport device arranged on the side of the side wall immersed in the liquid bath facing away from the space.

Abstract: Packaging machine, in particular filling device, having at least one transport rail, and at least two transport slides movable along the transport rail and arranged on the transport rail, the transport slides being arranged for transporting at least one package and being moved clocked along a productive region of the transport rail. A processing becomes more flexible if the transport rail and the transport slides are so electromotively connected that the transport slides are moved along a productive area with two indices different from each other.

Abstract: A method is described for filling packages open on one side with flowable products in a filling machine. In order for the packages open on one side to be processed reliably, it is provided that hot air, drying air, sterilising agent and/or flowable product is introduced via at least one nozzle into packages open on one side, that the packages are moved from a starting position, before the introduction of the air, agent, and/or flowable product, into an end position, after the introduction of the air, agent, and/or flowable product, and that the packages, during the introduction of the air, agent, and/or flowable product, are moved along a straight or continuously curved transport direction defined by the starting position and the end position and are moved in a processing movement overlaying the transport direction and extending at least in sections transversely to the transport direction.

Abstract: A device for transporting objects: including at least two rotatably mounted wheels for driving and deflecting a conveyor belt, a closed conveyor belt and several cells for receiving the objects to be transported. The cells are connected to the conveyor belt such that their cell centers define a closed transport path. The conveyor belt is guided around the wheels in such a way that the transport path has an approximately circular section in the region of the wheels and an approximately straight section between the wheels. The device further includes an element for changing the curvature of the transport path in between at least one straight path section and at least one circular path section.

Abstract: The application describes and illustrates a timing belt, particularly a toothed belt, having a first end, a second end, a rear side, a front side, and having a plurality of teeth arranged on the rear side and/or the front side, wherein the first end has at least one cutaway, wherein the second end has at least one tine that is insertable into the cutaway, and wherein the first end and the second end are detachably connectable to each other and the teeth of the first end have an offset relative to the teeth of the second end in the connected condition under no tension.
