Abstract

In the case of an apparatus for manipulating bags (7) which each accommodate a container (6), it is proposed that the bags (7) should be transported on movable bag carriers (15), wherein the bags (7) are fastened by means of clamping bodies (21) and/or the bag carriers (15) can be displaced by means of a magnetically coupled-on drive unit (46) and/or orientation of the containers (6) in the hanging bag (7) can be checked by means of a testing device (31).
