An apparatus for transporting objects, particularly packaged food products, from a product loading station to a product unloading station

摘要

In an apparatus (10) for transporting packaged food products from a product loading station (A) to an unloading station (B), a series of containers (20) is entrained by a drive element (12) along a closed-loop path and temporarily halted at the loading station (A) and the unloading station (B) for loading the products onto the load carriers (20) and unloading the products from the load carriers (20); each load carrier (20) has a hitch member arranged to rest on the drive element (12) in a freely slidable manner therealong and, disposed in the closed-loop path, there is at least one accelerating device (25) applying a force to each load carrier (20) effective to impose on the load carrier (20) an acceleration with respect to the speed of the drive element (12).
