Abstract
A process and a device for the sorting of bottles, in which unsorted bottles received in crates and identified according to type are removed from the crates at least partly and are then inserted again into different crates according to type without intermediate storage. Due to this, crates with only one type of bottles can be produced in a small space with low cost expenditure and smooth-running bottle transport.
