Container processing method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for treating containers, in which containers are transported by a container holder of a continuously rotatable turret of a container treatment machine, characterized in that the containers are transferred by the container holder to a stationary treatment station for treatment, the containers are processed in the processing station and then transferred to the container receptacles in the turret for further transport. The invention also relates to a container handling machine for carrying out the method.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for processing containers such as bottles and a corresponding container processor. Background

[0002] Two types of container processors are known in principle by prior art. One is a machine that works continuously, such as a direct printing press. The continuously working machine in a continuous motion of the driving parts, such as a rotating turntable to receive the container with container acceptance parts, container acceptance parts can be used as a processing station at the same time. Here, the container is processed with the turntable surround and then transferred to the corresponding transfer device. The processing time available for use for containers is limited by the wrap speed and the wrapping angle provided by the container processor. Therefore, complex processing steps that require a relatively large amount of time are either accompanied by a reduction in the amount of passage of the machine, because th...

[0030] Figure 1Illustrating a schematic top view of the container processor 100 according to the present invention. The container handler includes a turntable 101, on the turntable may be arranged a plurality of container acceptance members 130 for the receiving container 140. The turntable may be equipped with a conveyor device 111 and an output device 112. These apparatus 111 and 112 may be constructed, for example, in the form of a rotating starwheel as shown. These devices have a holding portion, the device utilizes the holding portion to hold the container and may transfer the container to the container receiving member of the turntable 101 of the container processor at the corresponding point of transfer. Here, the container receiving piece 130 may be structured in various ways. The container acceptance may comprise, for example, a neck operation performed by a body clip, however, it may also include a centering device having a placing plate and a centering clock. Due to th...
