Abstract (en)

There is described a method for operating a receptacle treatment machine (1, 1') comprising at least one upstream treatment apparatus (5, 6, 7, 8), at least one downstream treatment apparatus (6, 7, 8, 53), each one adapted to treat the receptacles (2) and at least one accumulation unit (14) adapted to store receptacles (2). The method comprises the steps of detecting a normal or an atypical working condition of the downstream treatment apparatus (6, 7, 8, 53). In the case of the atypical working condition the method further comprises the steps of suspending the treatment of the receptacles (2) during advancement of the receptacles (2) through the downstream treatment apparatus (6, 7, 8, 53), feeding the receptacles (2) to the accumulation unit (14) and feeding the receptacles (2) from the accumulation unit (14) back to the downstream treatment apparatus (6, 7, 8, 53) after recovery of the normal working condition.
