  • Patent number: 7921980
    Abstract: A device for processing containers with a lip on container support units arranged at regular intervals on a support frame and having at least a container support and a container dish, with the distance from the container support unit to a conveyance plane being changed through variation of the overall height of the container support unit. Also, a method for labeling containers with a support ring, with multiple container support units arranged at regular intervals on the rotating support frame, the container support units having at least a container support and a container dish, with the containers being at least partially clamped between a container support unit and a centering bell during their conveyance through a processing track, and with the distance from a transport plane to the container support unit being varied by changing the overall height of the container support unit according to the size of the containers to be processed.

  • Publication number: 20110061347
    Abstract: A container treatment plant (1) and a container treatment method for the treatment of containers (2, 3) capable of being filled with a product are described. The container treatment plant (1) comprises a plurality of treatment elements (11 to 19, 21 to 27, 31), wherein each treatment element (11 to 19, 21 to 27, 31) is used for a pre-determined treatment of the containers (2, 3) and each treatment element (11 to 19, 21 to 27, 31) has associated therewith a container nominal value which indicates which type of container (2, 3) the treatment element (11 to 19, 21 to 27, 31) can treat, a detection device (100) for detecting properties of one of the containers (2, 3) to be treated, and a comparator device (150) for comparing a detection result of the detection device (100) with the container nominal value for at least one treatment element (11 to 19, 21 to 27, 31).

  • Patent number: 7758333
    Abstract: A device (1) for treating containers (10) with a nozzle device (4) which fills the container (10) with a gaseous medium, wherein the nozzle device (4) can be introduced at least partly in a mouth (12) of the container (10). Furthermore a wall body (6) is provided which surrounds completely at least one area of the nozzle device in the peripheral direction, and a sealing device (8) to seal a space (R) between the container (10) and the wall body (6). According to the invention the sealing device (8) can be pressed in a substantially radial direction against the outer periphery of the mouth (12) of the container (10).
