Abstract: A can extractor for atmospheric rotary cookers and coolers has a clover wheel, a star wheel and a star wheel flange made of stainless steel. The clover wheel and star wheel are aligned and coupled to a sleeve rotating on a stationary shaft. The star wheel is coupled to the sleeve using an adjustable keyless hub/shaft locking device. The clover wheel and star wheel are spaced to accommodate bulging or deformed cans. A center discharge chute is supported on the rotating sleeve with a plastic bushing. Cans from the reel of a cooker/cooler are positioned with a can stripper between the star wheel and clover wheel while the reel rotates the clover wheel. The stainless steel components reduce scratching and eliminate transfer of rust to cans. A plastic clover wheel and a plastic star wheel flange are disclosed that do not scratch or transfer rust to the cans.

Abstract: Damage or deformation of a container in a processing device downstream a convey path is prevented. A filling device includes a filling unit (1), star wheel (2), and timing screw (3). Containers (10) are supplied to the timing screw (3) by a conveyor (6) along a convey path. A container control apparatus includes a control member (11) which controls supply and stop of the containers (10) before the timing screw (3), a driving unit (13) which drives the control member (11), and a sensor (35) which detects a state of the timing screw (3) such as a rotation angle. When the containers (10) are to be stopped, the driving unit (13) controls the control member (11) under the control of a control unit (30) to stop the containers (10) in accordance with a detection result of the sensor (35).

Abstract: A system for storing cylindrical containers includes multiple container guides positioned parallel to each other and one or more spacing members configured to interlock with the container guides and maintain a selected track width between adjacent container guides. In one embodiment, each container guide includes upper and lower track rails comprising left and right bearing surfaces and a track separator. The track rails guide containers placed on either side of the rails from a receiving area on the upper track to a dispensing area on the lower track. The spacing member may include a large number of interlocking positions that facilitate selecting a large variety of spacing widths between adjacent container guides. The system may also include a frame that receives and supports the container guides and thereby provides one or more storage shelves capable of storing containers such as cans on a first-in first-out basis in a compact manner.

Abstract: An air conveyer receives an uppermost container group elevated by a lift device and transporting the container group horizontally. A pushing device is provided for pushing the uppermost container group onto the adjacent airflow conveyer by contacting the container group at one side thereof and moving horizontally toward the other side. A forward-fall preventive device is provided to be switchable between a closed state for lying forwardly in a pushing direction of the container group, as the pushing device moves horizontally, to be capable of preventing a forward fall of containers, and an open state for opening a forward position in the pushing direction of the container group when the container group rides the airflow conveyer to enable a discharge of the container group. A speed varying mechanism is provided for varying a relative speed between a transport speed of the airflow conveyer and a pushing speed of the pushing device.
