摘要

The method involves handling a batch of bottles (1) utilizing a set of suction gripping units and a set of tilting units (30) to position axes of the batch of bottles parallel to each other in a horizontal plane along a layer and according to a step defined by a set of support and spacing units (40). A row of another batch of bottles is regrouped at the level of an accumulations station. The latter batch of bottles is handled in a single operation by utilizing another set of suction gripping units (21) and another set of tilting units (31). An independent claim is also included for a device for handling and layering bottles that is arranged in a single file forming a premier row, along a horizontal plane.
