Estimating the term…
Disclosed is a container treatment apparatus, in particular a container sterilisation apparatus, having a plurality of transport devices for transporting a container along a predetermined transport path, at least one of the transport devices having at least one holding device for holding at least one container during container treatment and/or transport along the transport path, the transport device having a rotatable carrier and a plurality of holding elements arranged on this carrier, wherein a holding element in a first sector, in which a container is received, having a height with respect to a perpendicular projection of the transport path which is different from that in a second sector in which a container is dispensed, and wherein a sector in which an at least partial compensation of the height difference of the holding elements takes place lies along a direction of rotation of the carrier after the second sector and before the first sector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the treatment, in particular the sterilisation, of containers.
A container treatment apparatus for transporting plastic containers along a predetermined transport path, wherein the container treatment device has at least one first transport device which has a plurality of outer holding clamps configured for holding the plastic containers during transport, and a second transport device which has a plurality of inner holding mandrels which are configured to be inserted into the containers and to be held against an inner wall of the containers, and the plastic containers are transferred from the first transport device to the second transport device, so that the containers are transferred from one of the plurality of the outer holding clamps of the first transport device to one of the plurality of inner holding mandrels of the second transport device for external treatment,
A method for transporting plastic containers along a predetermined transport path, wherein the plastic containers being transported by at least a first transport device, which has a plurality of outer holding clamps configured for holding the plastic containers during transport, and a second transport device, which has a plurality of inner holding mandrels which are inserted into the containers and held against an inner wall of the containers, and are transferred from the first transport device to the second transport device, so that the containers are transferred from one of the plurality outer holding clamps of the first transport device to one of the plurality of inner holding mandrels of the second transport device for external treatment,
