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.

Abstract: A transport system with a transport track with at least one passive track switch, which includes a main track and first and second diverging side tracks of the transport track, and at least one transport element with a response element with at least one permanent magnet and/or non-switching electromagnet. The transport track has fixed first and second guide rails in the area of the passive track switch as well as linear motor strings that are arranged in parallel to the first and second guide rail. The response element of the transport element is engaged within a gap between the first and the second linear motor string.

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.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for monitoring the wear of a long stator linear motor system comprising at least one motor train with stators and at least one transport vehicle that is driven electromagnetically thereby. Due to the fact that a force exerted electromagnetically and/or mechanically upon said motor train by the transport vehicle transverse to the latter's direction of transport or a differential force exerted in such manner by the transport vehicle upon two oppositely disposed motor trains is measured using sensors, changes in the forces between the motor train and the vehicle caused by dimensional tolerances and/or wear can be detected in order to prevent a malfunction of the track switch.
