    Abstract: A device for transporting objects, preferably containers, along a transport path. A control unit is configured to operate the device in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode. In the first operating mode and in the second operating mode the objects are transported in each case by pairs which are formed in each case from one of the first movement devices and one of the second movement devices. In the first operating mode, the pairs are formed such that the first movement device is positioned in a direction of the transport path upstream of the second movement device of the respective pair. In the second operating mode, the positioning is reversed. The device advantageously makes it possible for different objects to be able to be transported without a mechanical adjustment relative to the format and for a relatively small spacing to be able to be achieved.

    Abstract: A transport system includes a transport track with a long stator of a linear motor and a plurality of transport elements for transporting containers. The transport elements are disposed movably on the transport track and have respectively a secondary part for magnetic interaction with the long stator. At least one sequence of magnets is arranged on the secondary part such that the respective transport element can be moved through magnetic interaction of the magnets with the long stator along the transport direction. An extension of at least the first and the last magnet in each sequence is reduced in a way that, and an arrangement of at least the first and the last magnet is chosen in a way that, the magnets of adjacent sequence ends of two successive transport elements occupy overlap-free areas in a direction that is perpendicular to the transport direction.

    Abstract: An apparatus for the sterilization of containers with a conveying device which conveys the containers along a pre-set conveying path, with at least one stressing device which acts upon the containers with radiation, for the purpose of the sterilization thereof, and with a screening device which screens off X-ray radiation which is formed in the context of the sterilization. The screening device has at least one outer wall which bounds the conveying path of the containers and which extends along the conveying path. The outer wall has at least one recess which forms a cavity which faces the conveying path of the containers in such a way that X-ray radiation formed during the sterilization can enter this cavity.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for the free-jet filling of a container with a filling product, for example a beverage. The apparatus includes several product components. The method includes holding the container by means of a container holder; and introducing the product components into the container so that the product components span a free-jet region in one jet in each instance. The product components span the free-jet region in separate jets, so that the product components mix only in the container. The container has a container wall and a container bottom, and is held obliquely by the container holder during filling, so that the product components impinge on the container wall after spanning the free-jet region.
