    Abstract: A container-handling machine that comprises a rotor that rotates around a machine axis, an inlet transporter that brings containers to the rotor, an outlet transporter that takes containers from the rotor, and a container-handling section that extends along a handling direction along which the containers move after having been taken from the rotor, wherein the rotor comprises handling positions and a transport element, wherein the transport element comprises pockets along a circumference thereof, wherein each of the pockets comprises a flank that forms a first abutment surface that abuts a container during motion thereof, wherein the container-handling machine further comprises a finger that is assigned to the pocket, and wherein the finger forms a second abutment surface that adjoins the first abutment surface and that extends in a radial direction away from the machine axis.

    Abstract: A filling machine includes a rotor comprising plural container-filling positions, an inflow star upstream from the rotor, and a linear conveyor downstream of the rotor that receives the container from the rotor at an outflow point after the container has been filled but before the container has been closed. An interface having a curved portion receives the container at the outflow point and conveys the container toward the linear conveyor.

    Abstract: A cleaning device for cleaning a reusable cask includes a treatment head that is connectable to a keg fitting of a reusable cask. The treatment head delivers fluid into the interior and also removes fluid from the interior. The treatment head connects at least temporarily to a pump that sucks fluid from the cask's interior. A bypass line connects the pump to a valve mechanism that provides selected fluids.

    Abstract: A system for treating kegs with at least two treatment modules. Each treatment module has a keg receiving area, a treatment head, and an interface. The system contains a controller for controlling the treatment modules. At least one of the treatment modules is connected to a filling product source, which provides a first filling product, via the respective interface of the treatment module. At least one other treatment module of the treatment modules is connected to a filling product source, which provides a second filling product, via the respective interface of the treatment module. The controller is designed to actuate the treatment modules for a simultaneous and/or a delayed filling process for different filling products.

    Abstract: A container-handling apparatus, in particular a closing machine for closing cans or similar containers with a closure cap. A transfer element is provided between at least two adjacent container-closing positions. The transfer element surrounds at least part of the circumference of the respective container carrier and is provided so as to rotate with, i.e., revolve with, the container-closing positions. Furthermore, the upper side of the transfer element forms a transfer plane for transferring the upright containers in a planar manner from the transport plane onto the transfer plane spanned by the transfer element. The transfer plane and the transport plane are coplanar, spanning a common plane.
