    摘要: An apparatus is configured to implement, by a control device, a method for transporting containers (40) in a system for production of packaged food products. The apparatus arranges one or more containers (40) on a support surface (25) of a respective carrier (21) located on a transportation track (200) and operates a first magnetic arrangement in the transportation track (200) or a second magnetic arrangement in the respective carrier (21) to move the respective carrier (21) on the transportation track (200). The apparatus intermittently tilts the support surface (25) to slide the one or more containers (40) along the support surface (25) towards an end of the support surface (25). The tilting may serve to form a condensed group of containers (40) and/or to unload the one or more containers from the carrier (21).

    摘要: An apparatus is configured to implement, by a control device, a method for transporting containers (40) in a system for production of packaged food products. The apparatus arranges first items to be suspended from a conveyor (300), and arranges second items on support surfaces of carriers on a transportation track. The first items are capping devices (41) and the second items are containers (40), or vice versa. The apparatus further operates one of a first magnetic arrangement in the transportation track (200) and a second magnetic arrangement in the respective carrier (21) to move the respective carrier (21) on the transportation track (200) into a position beneath the conveyor (300) to align a second item on the respective carrier with a first item suspended by the conveyor), and controls the respective carrier (21) to move the support surface (25) towards the suspended conveyor (300) to engage the second item with the first item.

    摘要: There is described a capping apparatus (15) for applying caps (7) onto packages (2) produced in a packaging machine (1) comprising a conveying device (16) having a planar motor (22) provided with a plurality of carriers (23) configured to receive respective packages (2) at an inlet station (17) and to advance the respective packages (2) to an outlet station (18) and a plurality of mounting devices (19), each one arranged at a respective mounting station (20) and configured to mount caps (7) onto the respective packages (2) conveyed to the respective mounting station (20). The conveying device (16) is configured to selectively advance each carrier (23) from the inlet station (17) to one respective mounting station (20) such that the respective mounting device (19) mounts, in use, the respective cap (7) onto the respective package (2) carried by the carrier (23). The conveying device (16) is also configured to advance each carrier (23) from the respective mounting station (20) to the outlet station (18) so as to permit discharging of the respective packages (2) at the outlet station (18).

    摘要: There is described package distribution apparatus (1) comprising an upstream conveying device (3) configured to advance a succession of packages (2) along an upstream advancement path (P) and a distribution device (4) configured to selectively distribute the packages (2) advancing along the upstream advancement path (P) into a first flow (F1) of packages (2) advancing, in use, along a first downstream path (Q) and a second flow (F2) of packages (2) advancing, in use, along a second downstream path (R). The distribution device (4) comprises an endless carrier (15), a plurality of independent carts (16) moveably coupled to the endless carrier (15) and an actuation unit (17) configured to selectively advance the carts (16) along the endless carrier (15) and along an endless path (S). Each cart (16) comprises a pushing element (18) configured to interact with one or more respective packages (2) while the respective cart (16) advances, in use, along a contact portion (19) of the endless carrier (15) for directing the one or more respective packages (2) onto the second downstream path (R). The contact portion (19) is designed such that each pushing element (18) advances along a rectilinear path (T1) when directing, in use, the respective one or more packages (2) onto the second downstream path (R).

    摘要: An apparatus is configured to implement, by a control device, a method for transporting containers (40) in a system for production of packaged food products. The apparatus arranges one or more of the containers (40) on a support surface of a respective carrier on a transportation track (200); operates one of a first magnetic arrangement in the transportation track (200) and a second magnetic arrangement in the respective carrier (21) to generate a movement of the respective carrier (21) in a feed direction on the transportation track (200); determines that a selected carrier (21) is located at a diversion location (50A, 50B) along the transportation track (200), at which the transportation track (200) extends adjacent to a conveyor (300A, 300B), and controls the respective carrier (21) to intermittently tilt the support surface to slide the one or more containers (40) along the support surface onto the conveyor (300A, 300B).
