A device for transporting a plurality of parts to be treated through an apparatus for wet-chemical treatment comprises a transporter (16), comprising at least one runner (39a,b,40a,b) for supporting the transporter (16) for movement along at least one track (5a,b) in a first direction ( x ). At least part of the transporter (16) is located next to the runners (39a,b,40a,b), seen in a second direction ( y ) transverse to the first direction ( x ). This part extends from a level below the runners (39a,b,40a,b) to a level above the runners (39a,b,40a,b) in a third direction (z) transverse to the first and second directions ( x,y ). The device further comprises a container (14) having an interior for accommodating the plurality of parts and a frame (15), at least indirectly connecting the container (14) to the transporter (16) to allow the transporter (16) to carry the container (14) at a level below the runners (39a,b,40a,b). The frame (15) comprises a respective frame part (23a,b) at at least one of opposite axial ends of the container (14) with respect to an axis (18) of the container (14). The container (14) is liquid-pervious between the axial ends to allow liquid to flood the interior when the container (14) is immersed in the liquid. The axis (18) of the container (14) extends in a direction ( x ) transverse to the second and third directions ( y,z ).

A system for conveying an object comprising at least a substrate (3) between processing stations (1a,b,2) of a processing apparatus comprises a transporter (4), arranged for movement from processing station to processing station (1a,b,2). The transporter (4) comprises a support part (5) and a holding component (19) for releasably holding the object. The system comprises at least one object movement device (34a-d,43a,b) for moving the object along a path predominantly directed in parallel to a reference axis (z) in a reference co-ordinate system. Each object movement device (34a-d,43a,b) is associated with a respective processing station (1a,b,2) and capable of moving the object along the path towards the transporter (4) to a transfer position and towards the associated processing station (1a,b,2) from the transfer position. The holding component (19) is configured to release and engage the object in the transfer position when the transporter (4) is positioned at the processing station (1a,b,2). The transporter (4) includes at least one actuator (25a,b,26a,b,27a,b) for moving the holding component (19) relative to the support part (5) along a holding component path predominantly directed in parallel to the reference axis (z).

A device for holding a planar substrate (1) in an apparatus for non-immersive wet-chemical treatment of the substrate (1) comprises a support structure (34). The support structure (34) comprises at least one part (36a,b) for engaging a support such as to suspend the support structure (34) in the apparatus. The device comprises at least one clamping device, supported by the support structure (34), for holding the substrate (1) in a plane; and at least a first upper flow guidance part (37), arranged on one side of the plane and having an inward-facing surface (44) facing inwards and an outward-facing surface facing outwards with respect to the plane. The outward-facing surface comprises an upper outward-facing surface section (46), wettable by a stream of liquid directed onto the upper outward-facing surface section (46), and a lower outward-facing surface section (47), extending from a transition between at least a central part of the upper outward-facing surface section (46) and the lower outward-facing surface section (47) to a lower edge (49). A strip (45) of the inward-facing surface extends longitudinally along the lower edge (49) and transversely up to the lower edge (49). At least a central longitudinal section of the strip (45) is movable into engagement with a major surface of the substrate (1) over an entire length of that section.
