Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 and figure 2 The shown apparatus has a substantially horizontally arranged elongated processing space 10 (hereinafter simply referred to as "chamber"), a conveyor belt 12 passes transversely through the front of the chamber 10 via an air lock (not shown) and along the direction of arrow T direction to move. The conveyor belt 12 is hit from the side or above by the air flow inside the chamber 10 , which is generated by the blower 14 and exits the nozzle box 16 , the output jet opening just adjacent to the conveyor belt 12 . Typically, the direction of action of the air flow on the conveyor belt 12 is skewed from above with respect to the plane of the conveyor belt 12, or with respect to the plane of the processing space 10, so that the hollow bodies to be aligned (lined up) by the air flow are pressed on the one hand. against the bottom surface and on the other hand is pressed laterally.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for continuously separating and aligning a plurality of cylindrical hollow bodies (23), wherein one sides of the hollow bodies are closed.The hollow bodies (23) are placed in order in a treatment room (10).The hollow bodies arranged in an initial sequence in the treatment room are in linear contact with each other by the action of an air flow.The hollow bodies placed in order move toward the output (22) of the treatment room (10) by the air flow.The hollow bodies (23) are pressed against a guide rail (32) by the air.The hollow bodies (23), which are not within the linear range, are ejected through an opening (28).The invention also discloses an apparatus adopting the above method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for consecutively aligning a plurality of cylindrical hollow bodies closed on one side, in particular screw closures (ie screw caps) of bottles (eg beverage bottles). Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] Today's packaging industry requires methods and apparatus capable of producing ever greater quantities of packaged goods per unit of time. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the speed of the filling process, which includes guidance in the package, filling, closing and finally removal of the fully packaged product. [0003] Since the package consists of two parts, namely the container and the closing cap, a sub-step of the method just outlined is to feed the cap at the required speed and in the correct position. This applies in particular to beverage bottles, typically PET bottles. Labeled empty bottles are fed to the filling station not by hand...
