Open ended containers with rinse water in them are carried along a drying path which includes at least one curved path segment, the containers being carried along that curved segment with their open ends facing radially outwardly. As a result, an outwardly directed centrifugal force is effective to expel the rinse water from the containers. The containers are fed onto and off of individual support means carried by a conveyor means and means are provided for moving said individual support means radially outwardly of said conveyor means prior to said containers traversing said curved path segment and for returning said individual support means to their initial positions at the end of the drying path for removal from the conveyor means. As a result there is an increase in effective radius of the curved path segment, thereby to increase the effective net centrifugal force acting on the rinse water, although but a single conveyor means is utilized.
