Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a bottle return system and a method in the returning of bottles. A returnable bottle is fed to a bottle return automaton (10a1, 10a2, 10a3...), which are by their number several in a bottle return center. The returner of a bottle receives for the return a receipt an/or a remuneration corresponding to the bottle, and whereby the returnable bottle transfers from the bottle return automation (10a1, 10a2, 10a3...) on a conveyor belt (10c1, 10c2, 10c3...) and forwards towards the end of the conveyor belt. In the inventive method is used a crating unit (12) to alternately serve each return-center return automaton (10a1, 10a2,...). The crating unit (12) may be freely transferred to the connection of a conveyor belt (10c) of each bottle return automaton (10a1, 10a2...). The returnable bottles are alternately fed from each conveyor belt (10c1, 10c2, 10c3...) to the crating means (I) of the crating unit (12), which crating means disposes the returnable bottles into empty crates. <IMAGE>
