摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for drying the exterior of bottles (6) which are being transported in an upright state on a conveyor track (4). The liquid which wets the bottle jacket is blown off by means of air jets exiting annular nozzles (5), and the annular nozzles (5) which are connected to a central compressed air source at least partly surround the bottles (6), a relative movement being carried out between the two parts (5, 6) in the longitudinal direction of the bottles. It is essential to the invention that each of the annular nozzles (5) is connected to the compressed air source via a sealed vertically extendable telescopic tube (9), and the relative movement between the annular nozzles (5) and the bottles (6) is carried out by a stroke movement of the annular nozzles (5). |
