    摘要: A starwheel device rotationally transports containers and comprises a body (110) rotating about a vertical axis of rotation, and a plurality of grippers (120), projecting radially at regular intervals from the rotating body (110) and rotating together therewith. Each gripper (120) has a pair of jaws (121) movable towards and away from each other in a tangential direction. A follower actuating member is provided for each gripper (120), which rotates together with the body (110) and is connected to the jaws (121) of the respective gripper (120) and is movable in the radial direction with respect to the body (110) so as to translationally actuate the jaws. A three-dimensional cam has a variable outer cam profile in contact with each follower member and radially acting on each follower member. The cam profile varies depending on the height of the point of contact between cam and follower member in the vertical direction.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system and a method with which it is possible to easily recognize an abnormality that can occur in a partition wall used for aseptic filling, and thereby contributes to reduction in maintenance cost of an aseptic filling device and improvement in productivity. This partition wall abnormality detection system comprises: an aseptic region in which discharge parts of filling valves are disposed; a non-aseptic region; at least one type of functional unit selected from among a plurality of closure devices, a plurality of filling valves, and a plurality of capping heads; and a medium supply part which is configured to be capable of supplying, to a plurality of the functional units, a detection medium used for detecting an abnormality related to a partition wall included in the functional unit. The enclosed space formed by the partition wall retains therein the detection medium supplied from the medium supply part in the case where there is no abnormality, and causes the detection medium to leak therefrom in the case where there is an abnormality.

    摘要: A treatment apparatus (100) for treating closures (2) for containers, the treatment apparatus (100) comprising:
    - a box-like body (101);
    - a treating chamber (115) for the closures (2) inside the box-like body (101);
    - a dispensing pipe (105) located inside the treating chamber (115) and configured to dispense a sterilizing substance;
    - a supplying circuit (107) for supplying the sterilizing substance, the supplying circuit (107) comprising:
    a feeding line (108);
    a main line (109) and a secondary line (110), both the main line (109) and the secondary line (110) branching-off from the feeding line (108), the main line (109) emerging into the dispensing pipe (105) and the secondary line (110) emerging inside the box-like body (101);
    valve means (113) operatively active on the supplying circuit (107) so as to establish a selective fluid communication between the feeding line (108) and the main line (109) or between the feeding line (108) and the secondary line (110).
