Abstract: The invention relates to a cable fixing device for a container handling system and to a method for setting a minimum bending radius for a connecting cable of a container handling system. The cable fixing device comprises a main body, a cable guide which is arranged around a part of the main body, and a cover for covering an end of the cable guide in such a way that a connecting cable, which is pre-assembled with plug-in devices at both ends, can be introduced between the cover and the cable guide. The cable guide is configured at its other end for fixing of the connecting cable in such a way that a looping angle of the cable fixing device and connecting cable can be set variably.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a glue supply device for a labeling unit with a glue printer, comprising: a storage tank for glue, a supply line for supplying glue from the storage tank to the glue printer, a continuously delivering glue pump which is embodied to deliver glue from the storage tank into the supply line, and a hydropneumatic reservoir for the glue, wherein the hydro-pneumatic reservoir is arranged at the supply line upstream of the glue printer.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers with a transport device which transports the plastic parisons along a predetermined transport path, with at least one transforming station which is arranged in a stationary manner along this transport path. The transforming station has a blow mould which can be opened and closed and which in a closed state forms a cavity inside which the plastic parisons can be transformed into the plastic containers by the application of a gaseous medium. The transforming station has a closing unit in order to close the blow mould and this closing unit has at least one component of the blow mould which is movable relative to another component of the blow mould.

Abstract: A carrier element (20) for receiving and transporting articles (10) or containers within a production facility. The carrier element (20) includes a receiving portion (22) with a receiving opening (24) for the article (10) or the container. The carrier element (20) includes a fastening portion (30), which is arranged spatially separate from the receiving portion. The fastening portion (30) includes at least one hollow inside area (34) and at least one opening (40) in a section of the outer casing (31). This opening (40) provides an open connection to the inside area (34) of the fastening portion (30). At least one functional surface (45) is arranged in the hollow inside area (34) for the purpose of creating a force-locking and/or form-locking connection to a coupling device (50) of the production facility.

Abstract: A protection mechanism for a machine, used for monitoring and securing the position of doors and/or positionable machine parts, having a central safety bracket movably supported relative to the doors and/or the positionable machine parts, and configured such that it can only be closed when all the doors are closed and all the machine parts are at an operating position, and a central safety switch which monitors the position of the central safety bracket.

Abstract: A labeling unit having a vertically displaceable motor, a vertically displaceable upper cover plate for a pallet drum as well as a shift linkage which couples the upper cover plate to the motor such that, when the motor is displaced upwards, the pallet drum is lifted together therewith. The motor and the cover plate can thus be lifted in an ergonomically advantageous manner by means of a common operating mechanism on the comparatively easily accessible motor, when a change of format is executed.

Abstract: A labeler for a labeling machine for attaching labels to containers, having a transfer unit for transferring the labels to the container, the transfer unit being removably fixed at an operating position. In order to allow the labeler to be operated more easily and with less problems, the transfer unit is configured such that, for removal from its operating position, it can first be moved to a handling position.
