    摘要: The invention relates to a method for processing glass containers, in particular for washing and coating of vials for pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic applications, wherein a plurality of glass containers is simultaneously subjected to a first processing step and thereafter the plurality of glass containers is simultaneously subjected to a second processing step, and wherein before and/or during the first and/or second processing step the outer container surface of the glass container is contact-free or in contact with a material having a lower hardness than that of the glass container or only in contact with such materials, and to an apparatus for processing, in particular for washing and coating, glass containers with a capturing device which is designed to capture and hold a plurality of glass containers simultaneously, wherein the capturing device comprises a plurality of individual holding sockets, each of which is designed to capture and hold one of the glass containers individually and without contact to the other glass containers, at least two processing stations, each of which being designed to simultaneously subject the plurality of glass containers held by the capturing device to a specific processing step, and a transport device which is adapted to move the capturing device from one processing station to the next processing station such that the plurality of glass containers held by the capturing device is simultaneously transported from one processing station to the next processing station.
