System for handling individual primary packaging containers

A primary container handling system comprising:

• a transportation unit transporting at least one container handling unit mounted on at least one independently motion controlled mover or levitating tile,
• said container handling unit being configured to provide 3-dimensional translation and/or rotation of an individual primary container;
• wherein 3-dimensional translation and/or rotation comprises movement in at least three of the following six degrees of freedom:
• translation along a X axis, parallel to a machine direction of the system;
• translation along a Y axis, perpendicular to the X axis;
• translation along a Z axis, perpendicular to the X and Y axes;
• rotation about the X axis;
• rotation about the Y axis;
• and
• rotation about the Z axis;
• and
• wherein the container handling unit is configured to provide movement in each of the degrees of freedom in which movement is provided independently of movement in any of the other degrees of freedom.
