A conveying machine for containers, comprising at least one base module having a predetermined length according to a feed direction of the containers and at least a supporting carriage for the containers slidably mounted on said base module. The base module and carriage together define a linear motor, wherein the stator is the base module and the rotor is the carriage. The machine comprises a supporting plate for the containers, which is rotatably mounted on the carriage and means for moving the plate, which is operatively connected to the plate to rotate it on itself.

The invention relates to a device (10) for equipping containers (12), preferably with labels (44) or prints. The device has at least one equipping device (18, 20, 22, 23) for equipping containers (12) and a planar drive system (16) with a base element (30) and at least one movement device (32). The at least one movement device (32) has a container carrier (34) for holding a container (12). The at least one movement device (32) can be moved to the at least one equipping device (18, 20, 22, 23) by means of magnetic interaction with the base element (30) in order to equip the container (12) held in the container carrier (34). The device (10) can be used very flexibly.
