In the present invention, there is disclosed a transfer station on container handling machines being provided with a wide infeed field (2) consisting of a plurality of transport paths (1) that are located next to one another for feeding containers (4) into receiving devices (7) of the handling machine and a conveyor that runs at a right angle or at an angle to the actual transfer direction (8) and being used for the feed and discharge of the containers (4) to be handled, with a transition area to the transport paths of the infeed or discharge area and intermediate webs (12) that separate these transport paths (1), wherein upstream in the infeed direction of the end surfaces of the intermediate webs (12), there are vertically oriented directing or guiding rotation elements (14) that can be placed in contact with the bodies of the containers (4) to steer or guide the containers wherein the rotation elements (14) can be driven in different directions of rotation. Disclosed is also a method for feeding containers into receptacle cells of container cleaning machines with the above-described transfer station, wherein the containers (4) can be moved from their positions outside the infeed paths (15) formed by intermediate webs (12) by means of guide or control elements that are in contact against at least part of their external surfaces into the infeed position in the stream of bottles. |
