Abstract
The invention relates to a transport system (1, 10, 14) in the beverage industry with a transport device (TR) which is designed to transport containers (3) through the transport system in a transport direction, having a rinsing region (4, 18) which is designed to form a liquid curtain (5, 19) through which containers that can be transported by the transport device (2) can pass. The invention furthermore relates to a computer-controlled or electronic method for operating the transport system.
Claims21
A transport system comprising:
- a transport device configured to transport one or more containers through the transport system in a transport direction;
- and
- a rinsing region configured to form a liquid curtain for drying the one or more containers, wherein the transport device is configured to transport the one or more containers through the liquid curtain.
(canceled)
A method for transporting one or more containers through a transport system, the method comprising:
- transporting, via a transporting device, one or more containers through a liquid curtain of a rinsing region of the transport system, wherein the transport device is configured to transport the one or more containers through the transport system in a transport direction;
- and
- transporting, via the transporting device, the one or more containers through a drying region of the transport system, wherein the drying region is configured to generate an airflow to blow one or more surfaces of the one or more containers dry.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- cause one or more containers to be transported, via a transporting device, through a liquid curtain of a rinsing region of a transport system, wherein the transport device is configured to transport the one or more containers through the transport system in a transport direction;
- and
- cause the one or more containers to be transported, via the transporting device, through a drying region of the transport system, wherein the drying region is configured to generate an airflow to flow one or more surfaces of the one or more containers dry.
