Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010018224A1] A method and a device for handling containers is described, wherein the containers (10) are transported along a predetermined transport path (T) and combined with at least one other product, the amount of which can be determined, in such a way that the product is fed to each individual container (10) in a predetermined feed area (D) of the transport path (T), wherein the other product is routed along a feed path (6) to the feed area (D). At least one characterizing state (Z) is determined in a detection area (8) disposed upstream relative to the feed area (D) in a direction of transport of the containers (10), said state being characteristic of a number of containers fed, and a residual amount (M) for the product that remains to be fed to the predetermined feed area (D) until the product is switched is determined as a function of this characteristic state (Z).
