Abstract: An installation for producing containers filled with a liquid, and in particular beverage containers, has at least one transport device which transports containers along a predetermined transport path, a filling device which fills the containers, a closure device which closes the filled containers, and an inspection device that inspects the filled and closed containers, wherein the inspection device is arranged downstream of the closure device along the transport path. The inspection device is configured to output at least one measured value that is characteristic of a composition of the filling product filled into the containers.

Abstract: An exemplary device may support or guide containers during transport of the containers in a container handling system. The device has at least one main body for supporting or guiding the containers during the transport. The at least one main body can have a surface for making contact with the containers, which surface is textured in order to reduce the contact area between the surface and the containers when transporting the containers. In examples, the at least one main body can be made of a base material and of at least one additive material, which has a surface energy with a polar fraction which differs, preferably substantially, from a polar fraction of a surface energy of the base material and/or of the containers, and preferably made of at least one solid lubricant mate/rial. The device can reduce friction between the containers and the at least one main body.

Abstract: Device for filling a container with a filling product, for example in a beverage filling system, and method for monitoring a filling process, wherein the device comprises: at least one filling member with a product chamber for receiving the filling product and introducing the filling product via an outlet into the container to be filled; and a measuring portion with a least one spectral sensor which is configured to determine one or more properties of the filling product on the basis of a spectroscopic measuring principle.
