Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2249320A1] The device has multiple functional modules (2,3,4,5,6) with assemblies, where a transport module is arranged to convey a return container or an input module is arranged for introducing the return container in the empty receptacle return machine and a recognition module is arranged to identify a return container. A sorting module is arranged for supplying the return container to one of multiple sorting pathways. A fluid kept ready in the storage containers (9,10) is impinged with pressure by a pressure generating device (8) such that the fluid is supplied to an assembly over supply unit. An independent claim is also included for a method for cleaning an empty receptacle return machine.
