Estimating the term…
A container treatment plant and a method for the treatment of containers are described. The container treatment plant includes a plurality of treatment elements, wherein each treatment element is used for a pre-determined treatment of the containers and each treatment element has associated therewith a container nominal value which indicates which type of container the treatment element can treat, a detection device for detecting properties of one of the containers to be treated, and a comparator device for comparing a detection result of the detection device with the container nominal value for at least one treatment element.
A container treatment plant for the treatment of containers capable of being filled with a product, said plant including at least one module selected from the group consisting of a stretch blow mold module, a filling module, a labeling module, a packing module, a testing module, a pasteurization module, a container cleaning module, and a box washing module, wherein each module comprises a plurality of treatment element tools, and wherein each treatment element tool is used for a pre-determined treatment of the containers and each treatment element tool has associated therewith a container nominal value which indicates which type of container the treatment element tool can treat, and with an adaptor device in the form of a robot, which applies each of the plurality of treatment element tools to containers fully automatically.
A method for the treatment of containers capable of being filled with a product with a container treatment plant which plant includes at least one module selected from the group consisting of a stretch blow mold module, a filling module, a labeling module, a packing module, a testing module, a pasteurization module, a container cleaning module, and a box washing module, wherein each module comprises a plurality of treatment element tools, and wherein each treatment element tool is used for a pre-determined treatment of the containers and each treatment clement tool has associated therewith a container nominal value which indicates which type of container the treatment element tool can treat, and wherein the at least one treatment element tool of the plurality of treatment element tools is exchanged for another or adjusted to conform to a property of the container automatically by a robot.
A container treatment plant for the treatment of containers capable of being filled with a product, with a plurality of plant modules for carrying out a predetermined treatment of the containers, wherein the plant includes a stretch blow module and at least one additional module selected from the group consisting of a filling module, a labeling module, a packing module, a testing module, a pasteurization module, a container cleaning module, and a box washing module and wherein the stretch blow module is a stretch blow moulding module for carrying out a stretch blow moulding method in which containers for receiving a product are shaped from preforms, wherein each module comprises a plurality of treatment element tools, wherein each treatment element tool is used for a predeteimined treatment of the containers and with an adaptor device in the form of a robot for applying at least one treatment element tool of the plurality of treatment element tools, wherein said treatment element tool is a blow mould or a stretch rod.
