Container treatment with contamination detection

摘要

Operating a device for handling of containers comprises: (a) conveying at least one container at least locally through the device; (b) handling the at least one container with the device in at least one pre-set manner; (c) using at least one flowable medium in order to operate the device; and (d) irradiating pre-set areas of the device with a radiation device in order to make at least one of the at least one flowable medium detectable in one of the pre-set areas of the device in which the medium is present in a non-functional manner. An independent claim is a device for handling containers comprising at least one handling unit structured and arranged to handle the containers in a pre-set manner; and at least one conveying device structured and arranged to convey the containers at least locally through the device, where use is made of at least one flowable medium during the operation of the device, and where the device includes a radiation device structured and arranged to irradiate pre-set areas of the device in order to make the flowable medium visible in one of the pre-set areas in which the flowable medium is present in a non-functional manner.
