Transport equipment and brush making machine with transportation equipment to reduce production cost by simplifying manufacturing operations on work pieces such as brushing bodies and/or brushes among multiple processing stations

In order to simplify operations on work pieces, in particular on brushing bodies (6) and/or brushes (7) to-be-processed, namely toothbrushes, the present invention provides a transport equipment (1) and a brush making machine (2) equipped with the transport equipment. The transport equipment (1) has a plurality of transport receptacles (5) each for receiving at least one work piece to-be-processed. Each of the transport receptacles (5) is rotatably and/or pivotably arranged about a rotational axis R to rotatably and/or pivotably support the transport chain (4) of the transport equipment (1). In order to be able to rotate and/or pivot the transport receptacles (5) at the transport chain (4), the transport equipment (1) also has at least one rotary drive (8) which is adapted for rotating and/or pivoting the transport receptacles (5).
