1. An apparatus comprising a conveyor for transporting containers in a transport direction with at least two transport elements forming a closed loop and capable of being driven in an endless circulating manner, which are arranged as multi-track and perpendicular to the transport direction adjacent to one another to form a common transport surface, on which the containers stand upright with their container bases, wherein the drive unit for each transport element comprises a dedicated electric drive motor, wherein the drive motors are external-rotor motors with an internal stator connected in a torsion-resistant manner to the machine frame and with an external rotor, which forms an offset drive driving the respective transport element, that the drive motors of at least two transport elements are arranged coaxially with their drive or motor axles oriented perpendicular to the transport direction, and the stators of which are connected via a common support in a rotation-resistant manner to the machine frame. |
