- the cover wall can be act a protective wall against the touch of the rotor, the Protect treatment devices or other components should protect against noise (acoustic protection), the one Should give privacy or protect against pollution should.
- protection against pollution for example the rotor group or the treatment devices be protected against external pollution if, for example the rotary device in a dusty atmosphere stands, or it can be the environment of the rotary device against one caused by the treatment of the objects Pollution are protected.
- a rotary device in the form of a Bottle filling device referenced with the bottles with a Fillers, such as a drink, are filled. It can happen that certain amounts of the filler be splashed during filling. The cover wall prevents then that the environment of the bottle filling device by the Filling agent is contaminated.
- the cover wall In conventional rotary devices of the type mentioned the cover wall and possibly other stationary components the facility previously cleaned manually, for example by Spray off with a hose, provided the cover wall is appropriate Has openings or the rotor assembly only partially encloses. For particularly high demands on the Purity or if the rotor assembly is complete enclosing cover no cleaning openings in this were provided, the cover wall could at least partially to be dismantled for cleaning the cover wall and to enable the other stationary components if necessary.
