Transport module for transporting container, processing device, and method of transporting container

Abstract

The invention relates to a transport module (1) for transporting a container (2) from a container source (31) to a container receiver (32). The transport module (1) includes a transport route (6) witha transporter (61), and the transport route is arranged between a reception area (4) and a transfer area (5). A first holder (7, 71) configured to receive and hold the container (2) is arranged and configured at the transporter (61) in such a manner that the container (2) is grasped by the first holder (7, 71) in the reception area (4) and the container (2) is suspendingly transported along the transport route (6) from the reception area (4) to the transfer area (5), carried by the first holder (7, 71). Besides, the invention also relates to a processing device (100) used for processing the container and a method of transporting the container.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a transport module for transporting containers from a container source to a container receiver, in particular for transporting containers from a container dispenser to a filling station for filling containers or for transporting containers from a container for filling containers to a sealing module for sealing a container opening of a container by means of a lid, and relates to a processing device for processing containers, and to a device according to the preamble of the independent claim of the corresponding category for The method of transporting the container. Background technique [0002] For example, document DE 42 36 784 A1 discloses a general conveying module for conveying containers to container receivers, which has been described in particular in document DE 749 636 or in document DE 42 34 115 A1 with a specific configuration of a sealing module . [0003] Especially but not only in the beverage industry it is custo...

Problems solved by technology

Either because the containers are too large, the guides of the feed station may no longer receive the containers, or because the containers are too small or too large, i.e., for example, too narrow, too low or too high, so that they cannot be safely positioned in the guides , and as a result, the contents (in particular liquid contents) escape from the container during conveying, or the container can even fall from the conveying module, because the container can no longer be safely held on the conveying module, for example, on the feeding table
