Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018001646A1] The invention relates to a container handling machine for processing packaging materials (2), in particular in the form of bottles or similar containers, comprising a transport device (3), by means of which the packaging materials (2) are movable along a transport section (TS), past at least one handling module (9, 9', 9"), which is interchangeably provided at at least one working position (10), wherein the respective interchangeable handling module (9, 9', 9") can be coupled, fixed in the working position (10), to a machine frame (11) via at least one centering and docking unit (12), wherein the transport device (3) is delimited, at least in sections, along the transport section (TS) by a machine guard (20) comprising at least a plurality of wall elements (21) which forms at least one machine guard opening (22), having a specified width (VB), between at least two wall elements (21), through which the at least one interchangeable handling module (9, 9', 9"), in the working position (10), fixed in position by the centering and docking unit (12), protrudes at least one module section (9.1) into a chamber (20.1) delimited by the machine guard (20), characterized in that the at least one centering and docking unit (12) has an adjustable holding device (30) for receiving the at least two wall elements (21), via which the width (B) of the machine guard opening (22) is adjustable.
