Zusammenfassung:An apparatus is configured to implement, by a control device, a method for transporting containers (40) in a system for production of packaged food products. The apparatus arranges one or more of the containers (40) on a support surface of a respective carrier on a transportation track (200); operates one of a first magnetic arrangement in the transportation track (200) and a second magnetic arrangement in the respective carrier (21) to generate a movement of the respective carrier (21) in a feed direction on the transportation track (200); determines that a selected carrier (21) is located at a diversion location (50A, 50B) along the transportation track (200), at which the transportation track (200) extends adjacent to a conveyor (300A, 300B), and controls the respective carrier (21) to intermittently tilt the support surface to slide the one or more containers (40) along the support surface onto the conveyor (300A, 300B).
