  • Further fluid-conducting connecting elements 27 preferably lead from the valve coupling 25 through the cleaning head 19 and within the cleaning arm 20 to the spray head 24.
  • a control element 28 for example, is arranged as a check valve.
  • Dash-dotted a central fluid supply 29 is shown, which can also be dispensed with because of the advantageous embodiment of the drive rail 6 as a fluid-carrying drive rail 6.
  • the hollow body is connected to the supply device 7, so that the fluid reservoir in the high web 9 can be supplied with cleaning agent.
  • the robot 4 is virtually independent of a central fluid supply, so that the robot 4 is reduced in weight, since the required cleaning agent is received in the support rail 6 itself.
  • the robot 4 is movable in a section corresponding to the effective length of the hose section 26 relative to the carrier rail 6.
  • the piece of tubing 26 may also be elastic in some respects, that is to say expandable, so that destruction of the piece of tubing 26 can be avoided if the robot 4 travels a longer distance than the effective length of the piece of tubing 26.
  • the robot 4 and its cleaning arm 20 may be designed so that it fits the tube piece 26 suitable and automatically attaches to the valve coupling 15 or separates from this. Thus, upon reaching the maximum travel limit, which is limited by the effective length of the hose piece 26, the robot 4 can disconnect the connection to the valve coupling 15 and apply it to another valve coupling 15.
  • each point of the container treatment device 1 can be flushed off with cleaning agent.
  • the container 2 can be walled off with the cleaning device 3.
