Abstract: A rotary machine for the treatment of containers is described. This rotary machine comprises a stationary underframe, a rotatable container table for receiving the containers, a motor designed as an internal rotor for direct drive of the container table, a bearing for supporting the container table and/or a non-rotatably connected supporting structure on the underframe radially outside the motor, and a rotary encoder for determining the rotational position of the container table. By positioning the rotary encoder radially outside the motor, the accuracy of the rotary position determination can be improved, especially for rotary machines with comparatively large pitch diameters and the accessibility of the rotary encoder for maintenance measures.

Abstract: An apparatus for labeling containers. The apparatus has a labeling device with a labeling unit for labeling the containers and a supply device which is connected to the labeling unit for feeding a label tape to the labeling unit. The supply device has a robot cell which is arranged at a distance from the labeling unit. The robot cell has a roll storage unit, a roll receiving device, and a robot that is configured to automatically load the roll receiving device with label rolls from the roll storage unit.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a printing machine for direct printing on containers, comprising: a continuously rotatable carousel for conveying the containers, a plurality of printing units, and stationary docking stations for docking the printing units to the periphery of the carousel. Due to the fact that the printing machine comprises rail guides stationarily associated with the docking stations and used for separately moving the printing units from a docked-on operating position outwards to a maintenance position spaced apart from the carousel, and back again, the printing units can easily be made accessible from several sides for maintenance and they can be locked quickly and reproducibly at their operating position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container processing system (10A-10U) for processing containers (12). The container processing system (10A-10U) has a plurality of processing units (22) for processing the containers (12) and a planar drive system (14) for transporting the containers (12). The planar drive system (14) is configured to move the plurality of movement devices (18) individually to a selection of the plurality of processing units (22) according to in each case one of a plurality of processing profiles for different container processing, wherein each of the plurality of processing profiles has a different selection of the plurality of processing units (22). The container processing system (10A-10U) advantageously allows flexible processing of different containers (different formats, contents, designs, bundles, packages, etc.) from a lot size of 1.
