Patent Summary
A method and device for rotating containers in a container treatment plant enables precise alignment of containers in a desired position. The method involves transporting containers on a double conveyor that generates a first rotational movement, detecting the actual orientation of a container using a monitoring device, and then applying a second rotational movement on a correction conveyor to compensate for any deviation from the desired alignment. The device includes a double conveyor for simultaneous transport and first rotational movement, a monitoring device for detecting actual orientation, and an evaluation unit for analyzing the detected orientation and controlling the second rotational movement on the correction conveyor.
