A transport system for container processing machines, particularly for bottle fillers, with inlet and outlet stars, which can be driven and are arranged on columnar support housings, and define a star configuration, in which the inlet and outlet stars define container transport paths which are linked with the machine. Each support housing presents at least one, preferably lateral, connection interface, to which a joining end of a connection strut is attached, in a removable manner. The other joining end of the connection strut is connected, in a detachable manner, to a connection interface of an additional support housing or of a machine substructure. In each case, in such manner, the star configuration can be changed as desired in a modular manner.
Transport system for container processing machines, particularly for bottle fillers, comprising inlet and outlet stars which can be driven and are arranged on columnar support housings and define a star configuration, the inlet and outlet stars defining container transport paths which are linked with the machine, wherein each support housing presents at least one connection interface to which a joining end of a respective one of a plurality of connection struts in the transport system is attached in a detachable fashion, another joining end of the respective one of the connection struts being connected to one of a connection interface of an additional support housing or of a machine substructure, whereby with the detachably connected connection struts the star configuration can be changed as desired in a modular manner.
