- the rotation already takes place in the alignment unit 15 it must be ensured that the container remains on the further transport path up to the application unit 7 in this nominal rotational position.
- the remaining structure of the container manufacturing device 20 substantially corresponds to the structure in Figure 2, so that reference is made to the description there. FIGS.
- FIG. 5a and 5b show in block diagrams the possible integration of a closure unit 5 according to the invention into the overall process of producing filled containers.
- the container eg blow molding machine for the production of PET bottles
- these can be filled and labeled directly (FIG. 5a) or initially Direct printing (direct pressure of notesmerkmalen on the container wall) subjected and then filled (Fig. 5b).
- the thus printed or labeled, filled containers are then passed to a closure unit for closing, at which the containers are closed both by closure elements and provided with at least one adhesive application. Subsequently, the containers are grouped and thereby processed into adhesive containers, in which the containers are interconnected by the applied adhesive.
- these containers can be palletized and transported away. Not shown, but are encompassed by the invention in particular so-called blocked solution or block plants, in which all or part of the treatment machines are directly gekopplet.
- a transport is usually provided as neckhandling of the container by means of transport stars between the treatment machines, in which the containers are held by means of grippers or clamps on the neck area.
