Abstract: An apparatus for guiding containers conveyed by a star wheel in a star wheel conveyor, for example for guiding beverage containers in a star wheel conveyor in a beverage filling plant, includes at least two adjustment parts arranged spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction relative to a central axis, each displaceable in the radial direction relative to the central axis, and a control segment displaceable in the circumferential direction, which is coupled to the adjustment parts such that displacement of the control segment in the circumferential direction causes a displacement of the adjustment parts in the radial direction, wherein a guide rail segment is arranged at the radially inner end of each adjustment part, and wherein the guide rail segments together form a segmented guide rail for providing an outer guide track for the containers to be conveyed.

Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to a hole gripper which has a pressurized air connection, an elastically deformable bellows portion which can be inflated by the application of pressurized air for clamping in a component hole of a component, and a connecting portion with a connecting channel which connects the pressurized air connection and the bellows portion for supplying pressurized air from the pressurized air connection to the bellows portion. The pressurized air connection, the connecting portion, and the bellows portion are integrally connected to one another in one piece.

Abstract: A container treatment system comprising a container treatment device with a treatment region for treating containers and a protective enclosure which at least partially encloses the treatment region. The container treatment system further comprises a sensor device which is configured to detect an intrusion into a predefined protective region in an environment of the container treatment device. The container treatment system further comprises a processing device that is configured to adapt an operation of the container treatment device and/or the container treatment system depending on a signal output of the sensor device.

Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to an apparatus for connecting a gripper to a handling device. The apparatus has at least one compensating element for the purpose of compensating for position inaccuracies, with a toolholder for holding the gripper, a frame for connecting the compensating element to the handling device, and a plurality of elastically deformable connectors which connect the toolholder inside the frame to the frame in an elastically movable manner. The toolholder, the frame and the plurality of connectors are integrally connected as a single piece to one another.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a star wheel conveyor (1) for conveying containers (78), preferably for conveying containers (78) in a beverage filling system, comprising a conveyor segment (2) rotatable about a central axis of rotation (4) and at least one pair of pocket arms (8) directed outward with respect to the axis of rotation (4) for forming a pocket (6) for at least partially receiving a container (78) to be conveyed, wherein each pocket arm (8) is arranged on the circumference of the conveyor segment (2) and is pivotable about a pivot axis (24) oriented substantially parallel to the axis of rotation (4), wherein the pocket arms (8) engage with an adjustment part (28), which is arranged on the conveyor segment (2) and is radially displaceable with respect to the axis of rotation (4), such that a pocket width (13) of the pocket (6) can be adjusted by displacing the adjustment part (28) in the radial direction (R).

Abstract: A device for holding a container in a container treatment device, for example for holding a beverage container in a neck portion or in a trunk portion, includes two gripping arms which are pivotable relative to one another in a pivoting plane and which in each case have a holding portion for holding the container to be held, and a lifting rod which is coupled to the gripping arms such that the holding portions are pivotable relative to one another by a displacement of the lifting rod perpendicular to the pivoting plane of the gripping arms. A container treatment device, provided with such a device, is also described.

Abstract: A product tank for receiving a liquid product, and a device for filling containers with a filling product, for example in a beverage filling plant, wherein the product tank includes: an outlet for discharge of the product from the product tank along a discharge direction; and a flow guide device which is arranged in the interior of the product tank and is configured to create a cross-flow oriented towards the discharge direction.
