Container treatment plant with redundant safety systems

Device (1) for the treatment of piece goods (10) and in particular of containers (10) with a transport device (2) which conveys the containers (10) in a predetermined transport direction (P) as piece goods stream with at least a first inspection device (4) which inspects the piece goods and which outputs at least one signal or produced which is characteristic of an actual state of an inspected piece good (10), comprising a first separating device (6) located along the transport direction (P) downstream of said first inspection device (4) is arranged and which is suitable and intended to separate out a general cargo from the cargo current at least when output signal results from the inspection device (4) that a current state of the article deviates from a predetermined target state. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises (1) a second separating device (8) on which (P) is arranged after the at least one first separation device (6) in the transport direction and which adapted to, and is intended at least one bulk material (10), which is deviates from the desired state condition and which does not from the first separating device (6) has been separated to separate out from the unit load current.
