  • Each closing element is further provided at its lower end facing the bottle carrier with a centering element with a centering opening which, starting from the lower end of the closing element, has a first centering section which tapers conically upwards and then has a second centering section which is essentially cylindrical.
  • Each hold-down device forms a hold-down surface at its lower end and is provided with a holding member (permanent magnet) for holding a crown cap on this hold-down surface.
  • the closing elements of the known closing machine are further designed such that the hold-down surface for receiving a crown cork is arranged approximately in one plane with the lower end of the closing element or the centering element.
  • this is centered in the first, conical centering section of the centering element with respect to the closing element such that the central axis of the crown cork lies coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the closing element.
  • the crown cork is then fixed in this position in the second centering section before the crown cork is placed on the mouth of the bottle to be closed when the closing element is lowered further, which bottle is then also enclosed in the region of its mouth by the centering element, i. H. is located with its mouth in the second centering section.
  • the crown cork is then pressed against the mouth of the bottle by the hold-down spring acting directly on the hold-down device, and the crown cork is deformed by the deformation element.
  • a closure cap or rinsing bell is provided for each closure element, which can be detachably placed on the lower end of the respective closure element using appropriate locking means and, after being placed on it, closes off a rinsing space essentially formed by the centering opening and the deformation element of the closure element, which, in addition to the area of the hold-down device which has the hold-down area, also includes all other areas or areas which are critical with regard to cleanliness and sterility.
  • a cleaning or rinsing medium e.g. rinsing liquid
  • the connections and the hoses there for supplying and removing the cleaning or rinsing medium are located at the lower end of the respective closing element or at the centering element there.
