    Abstract: A method and a device for buffering containers in a container treatment system are disclosed. The containers enter into storage on an infeed conveyor belt in the infeed direction, are moved in a single row onto a transversely adjoining buffer area by rail-guided and individually driven shuttles with row pushers in a buffering direction running transverse to the infeed direction, and are removed from storage on an outfeed conveyor belt transversely adjoining in the buffering direction. The shuttles and the infeed/outfeed conveyor belts are controlled in dependence of target positions, target speeds and/or target accelerations stored specifically for the container type, and/or the shuttles are controlled in dependence of target positions, target distances and/or target speeds stored specifically for modes of operation for initializing and reading out the shuttles, for following preceding shuttles, and for moving to route positions.

    Abstract: A deflection device with an upstream conveyor transports objects on a first transport surface in a first direction of transport to a downstream conveyor which transports objects on a second transport surface in a second direction of transport. The first and the second direction of transport are aligned perpendicular to each other. The first and the second transport surface are substantially coplanar. A downstream assist conveyor, which transports objects on a third transport surface in the second direction of transport. The downstream assist conveyor is disposed alongside of the downstream conveyor and on one side towards the upstream conveyor. The second and the third transport surface are coplanar. Also, a method for deflecting objects using a deflection device.

    Abstract: A buffer means and a method for buffering containers, in particular in a container handling apparatus, like for example bottles in a bottle filling apparatus, is described. The buffer means comprises at least a first conveyor track. Furthermore at least a second conveyor track is provided, which is drivable along a second transport direction. The first conveyor track and the second conveyor track are parallel to each other and form a buffer module. A transfer device transfers the containers from an infeed conveyor track onto an outlet conveyor track of the buffer module. By means of a sliding device the required buffer capacity of the buffer means can be set. Between the infeed conveyor track and the outlet conveyor track of a buffer module at least two further drivable transfer conveyors are provided. Thus a closed surface of the buffer module is created.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a storage section (10, 10a, 10b, 10c) for the intermediate storage of articles (12), packaged or piece goods of a conveyor device for the continuous or intermittent transport of articles (12), packaged or piece goods. The storage section (10, 10a, 10b, 10c) has at least one storage span (14) on a first level (18) and at least one empty span (16) on a second level (20) that is connected with the storage span (14). The storage span (14) has two flexible loading and transport sections (22) that run parallel to one another in opposite directions on the first level (18) for the articles (12), packaged or piece goods to be stored, which loading and transport sections (22) are connected by a first diversion section (24) describing a circular arc of approximately 180°. The empty span (16) circulates on a second level (20), which is below the first level (18) of the storage span (14). The endlessly circulating loading and transport sections (22) are connected by a second diverting section (54), which describes a circular arc of approximately 180°, in the area of the empty span (16). The first diversion section (24) of the storage span (14) corresponds to an upper span (62), in the area of the first level (18), of one endless traction means (58) arranged between at least two second diverting means (52, 56) and coupled therewith. Its lower span (64) runs in the area of the second level (20), and is coupled there with the second diversion section (54) of the empty span (16). The positions of the first diversion section (24) and the second diversion section (54) can be changed in opposite directions by moving the driven endless traction means (58), such that a storage volume of the storage span (14) can be varied by changing the position of the first diversion section (24) and changing the position of the second diversion section (54) of the empty span (16).
