Abstract: An apparatus for transporting containers to at least one processing station, in particular a filling and/or sealing station, having a number of container carriers that accommodate the containers and having two parallel guides spaced apart from each other and extending in the transverse direction, which are used for the advance and return of the container carriers and have turnaround devices at their ends that perform the function of switching the container carriers from one guide into the other guide; pinions are also provided for transporting the container carriers and are situated between the guides and engage the container carriers. The turnaround devices each have arc guides that adjoin the ends of the two guides and are connected to them and that also transition in the arc from one guide to the other guide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for removing a cover from a storage box that is closed using a lid-like cover attached thereto at the edges. For removal, the adhesive strength of the cover is reduced in the region of a few of the sealed edges and the cover is then removed by peeling it off the storage box, whereby the cover is peeled off by rolling it onto a roller.

Abstract: A treatment machine for pharmaceutical products formed as a filling and closing machine has an insulator which surrounds a sterile treatment region, a substantially plate-shaped partition which separates the sterile treatment region from an unsterile drive region, at least one movable drive member for driving treatment functions, the drive member is drivable from the unsterile region for its movement, extends through the partition into the sterile treatment region and is surrounded over at least one longitudinal portion by a passage through which a medium is supplied, the passage in an end region which extends in the sterile treatment region is open by at least one opening toward the sterile treatment region, so that a sterilization medium is aspirated from the sterile treatment region through the at least one opening into the passage and is aspirated through the passage in direction toward the unsterile drive region.
