Abstract

Container treatment system for containers, with a transport device for transporting the containers, at least one treatment assembly for treating the containers at a first transport section of the transport device, at least one robot unit for channeling individual treated containers out and/or in at a second transport section of the transport device downstream of the first transport section, and with at least one inspection device for inspecting the individual treated containers, where the second transport section is configured to transport a container flow that is widened as compared to the first transport section so that the individual treated containers can be transported there at reduced speed and/or with reduced dynamic pressure when channeled out and/or in.
