Container handling device and method for producing two separate regions in such a device

Abstract

The invention discloses a container treatment plant (10) having at least two conveyors (30) which run around in respectively different but adjacent plant areas (16, 18, 20), wherein the conveyors The devices ( 30 ) each have a plurality of container grippers ( 54 ) and each delimit in pairs a transfer area ( 40 , 42 ), which is jointly tangent by two adjacent conveyor devices ( 30 ). The at least two adjacent installation areas (16, 8, 20) are each delimited by a machine guard (44) and are accessible separately from one another. The at least two equipment areas (16, 18, 20) are at least partially separated from each other by a movable one-piece or multi-piece partition element (12, 14), which can be introduced into the The containers between at least two transfer devices ( 30 ) are in the transport path and / or the transfer path or can be removed therefrom. When separating at least two conveyors (30) located in the respective plant area (16, 18, 20) from each other or when releasing the conveying path and / or the transfer path between the conveyors (30), the partition The elements ( 12 , 14 ) follow a direction of movement that is oriented substantially perpendicular to the conveying plane ( 56 ) or conveying direction of the containers. Furthermore, a method is disclosed for creating two separate areas in a container handling plant (10) having at least two separate areas (16, 18, 20) in respectively different but adjacent plant areas (16, 18, 20). Surrounding conveyor (30).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a container treatment plant having at least two conveyors running around in respectively different plant areas. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing two separate regions in such a container treatment plant. Background technique [0002] Known container forming and container processing plants generally comprise a plurality of interconnected stations, which are coupled to one another by means of suitable conveyor systems, so that the preforms to be processed or formed into containers can traverse a defined conveyor path. In many cases, so-called delivery stars or transfer stars have been implemented as space-saving conveyor systems which can be operated reliably at very high process speeds, Rotates around a vertical axis and is equipped at its outer periphery with a plurality of container grippers, such as grippers etc., which alternately engage with each other in order to transfer containers from a deliv...

Problems solved by technology

Since the assembly and individual components of the blow molding machine are not designed to be loaded with relatively aggressive cleaning agents, corrosive damage to these components is possible
