    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for optically inspecting a pulp bottle. The apparatus comprises a lighting device having an opening, wherein a mouth of the pulp bottle can be arranged below the opening of the lighting device; and a camera which is configured to take an image of at least a part of an inner wall of the pulp bottle through the opening of the lighting device or from the opening of the lighting device, wherein the pulp bottle can be arranged such that the part of the inner wall of the pulp bottle is illuminated by the lighting device. The present disclosure further provides a method for optically inspecting a pulp container, in particular a pulp bottle.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for optically inspecting a pulp container. The apparatus comprises a lighting device, wherein a mouth of the pulp container can be arranged below the lighting device such that light from the lighting device can be emitted into the pulp container through the mouth of said container, and a camera which is configured to register light passing through a side wall of the pulp container and thus to capture an image of the side wall of the pulp container. The present disclosure further provides a method for optically inspecting a pulp container.

    Abstract: A device for printing closures of closed containers, comprising a transport section for transporting the containers, wherein a detection unit and a printing unit for printing the closure of a container are arranged behind one another in the transport direction and the detection unit can individually determine the position of the closure transversely with respect to the transport direction for each container and can transmit a signal which is indicative of the position to a control unit which is assigned to the detection unit and the printing unit. The control unit is designed to control the printing unit to apply printing ink to the closure in order to print the closure according to its position. Also disclosed is a corresponding method.
