Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19909488A1] The device has a rotor (1) with several bottle grippers, to transport the bottle along a transport path (8) between entry (4) and exit (5) points and a workstation under the bottles with nozzles for liquid, gas or steam handling medium and a central rotating guide for the medium. The medium is preferably sterile air, and exits the nozzles through a positively or negatively charged electrode to balance the charge on the bottle.
