Corked drink bottle emptying equipment - has uncorking and suction heads moving vertically in relation to bottle mountings and conveyor track with indexing drive

摘要

The equipment empties corked bottled filled with drink, the bottles being accommodated upright in mountings and delivered at regular intervals along a conveyor track. Above this track and coaxial to the mountings are one or more uncorking heads (19) in an uncorking section of the track. This section is followed by one or more suction heads in an emptying section of the track. When the heads and the mountings are in coaxial positions, they can move up and down in relation to each other. The conveyor track can have an indexing drive, or where it runs at constant speed the heads can be arranged in sets travelling in synchronism with it in the corresponding sections of the track.
