High speed bottle transfer machine - has spacing conveyor with oblique quides between feed and discharge conveyors

摘要

The high speed bottle transfer machine delivers groups of items one by one onto a conveyor. It has a lengthwise feed conveyor at right angles to the discharge conveyor, and which is loaded with groups of items. Passages are formed by components so positioned across the feed conveyor as to align the incoming items side by side in rows. A spacing conveyor is mounted between the feed conveyor and the discharge conveyor and parallel to the latter. The spacing conveyor reveives items from the feed conveyor, and works in the opposite direction to the discharge conveyor. A set of oblique guides travel on the spacing conveyor and underneath the passages, thrusting the items one after other across the spacing conveyor onto the discharge conveyor.
