Abstract:
A folding device for folding over a section or a flap of an outer packaging for articles includes at least one conveyor chain, push chain, and/or sealing chain, which chain in turn includes several pushing or folding elements spaced apart from each other and fastened to the chain at defined distances from each other. Each include a pushing or folding section protruding beyond the conveying plane. A coupling apparatus pivots the pushing or folding section of the respective pushing or folding elements in connection with a direction change and/or deflection of the conveyor, push, and/or sealing chain. Each pushing or folding element includes a carrier section connected to the chain and pivotable relative to the direction of chain movement via the coupling element and, fastened to this carrier section, each pushing or folding element further includes a pushing or folding section toollessly removable from the carrier section.

The removing device is formed by a position-controlled linear actuator.
Abstract:
A carrier element (20) for receiving and transporting articles (10) or containers within a production facility. The carrier element (20) includess a receiving portion (22) with a receiving opening (24) for the article (10) or the container. The carrier element (20) includes a fastening portion (30), which is arranged spatially separate from the receiving portion. Said fastening portion (30) includes at least one hollow inside area (34) and at least one opening (40) in a section of the outer casing (31). This opening (40) provides an open connection to the inside area (34) of the fastening portion (30). At least one functional surface (45) is arranged in the hollow inside area (34) for the purpose of creating a force-locking and/or form-locking connection to a coupling device (50) of the production facility.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a coupling system (1) for fluid connection of glue hoses (5, 5′, 15, 15′). The coupling system (1) comprises a housing (40) and at least one coupling piece (6, 6′) that can be fastened to a glue hose (15, 15′) of a gluing device (72), is received by the housing (40), and can be selectively and in each case detachably coupled to mating coupling pieces (8, 8′) of several glue hoses (5, 5′) of different glue application format parts so that a fluid connection is formed between the corresponding glue hose (15, 15′) of the gluing device and the corresponding further glue hose (5, 5′) of the corresponding glue application format part via the coupling piece (6, 6′) and the mating coupling piece (8, 8′) coupled to the coupling piece (6, 6′).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a system for packaging articles (2). Outer packages (3) are set down on a horizontal conveying device (10, 20) and are transported along a packaging line. During the transport, articles are introduced via a manipulator into the outer packages (3), and the outer packages (3) with the introduced articles (2) are subsequently removed from the horizontal conveying device (10, 20) as a packaging unit (8). A predetermined packaging process (VP1) is carried out, in which the outer packages (3) are received by the horizontal conveying device (10, 20) via a plurality of shuttles (5), the outer packages (3) standing on said plurality of shuttles (5), until the outer packages (3) together with the introduced articles (2) are removed from the at least one horizontal conveying device (10, 20) as a packaging unit (8).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a Transport apparatus (1) for supply rolls (8) with packaging material wound thereon. The transport apparatus (1) comprises at least one driverless transport vehicle (2) and at least one adapter (3). The adapter (3) is preferably connectable to the driverless transport vehicle (2), as well as being separable from the driverless transport vehicle (2). The adapter (3) is moreover designed to hold at least one supply roll (8).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a handling device or layer forming device (10) and a method for forming piece good layers. Piece goods (14) are conveyed on a horizontal conveying device (16) to a grouping station and/or layer forming station (12) comprising a manipulator (20). In a work cycle, the manipulator (20) seizes at least one piece good (14) and moves it into a target position or target alignment, in particular with regard to a piece good layer to be formed. The horizontal conveying device (16), which is arranged upstream of the grouping station and layer forming station (12), comprises at least one sensor device (24) for obtaining positional data or dimensional data or alignment data of the transported piece goods (14). Based on the obtained data, the control device (28) controls the movements of the manipulator (20) within the movement range for the purpose of the layer formation.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a treatment device and/or cleaning device (10), with at least three treatment stations and/or cleaning stations (26, 36, 42), as well as a method used for the separate treatment of individual components of packaging units (14) formed in each instance by primary, secondary, and tertiary packagings. The primary packagings are in each instance gathered together in secondary packagings as groups of two or more individual primary packagings. In addition, at least two such secondary packagings are accommodated in a tertiary packaging. The device (10) comprises at least one separating station (16, 20, 48) used for the separation of the packaging units (14) into their individual components to be treated, as well as at least three cleaning stations (24, 34, 40) and/or inspection stations used for the separate treatment of the primary, secondary, and tertiary packagings, said cleaning stations (24, 34, 40) and/or inspection stations being arranged downstream of the at least one separating station (16, 20, 48). The corresponding method provides the separation of the packaging units (14) into their individual components to be treated and the cleaning and/or inspection of at least the primary packagings as well as the cleaning and/or inspection of the secondary packagings performed separately therefrom and/or the cleaning and/or inspection of the tertiary packagings performed separately therefrom.
