Dual-Row Rubber Plug Transfer for High-Speed Filling Lines

The single plugging device is segmented into two separate plugging devices (first plugging device and second plugging device) that operate independently and simultaneously on different rows of containers. This allows the filling device to fill multiple rows continuously without waiting for a single plugging device to complete its cycle, thereby eliminating the idle waiting time and improving overall productivity while distributing the operational load across multiple specialized components.

The system transitions from a single-row sequential operation to multi-row parallel operation by arranging filling and plugging devices to work on multiple rows simultaneously. The first plugging device plugs containers on one row while the second plugging device plugs containers on another row, effectively utilizing the dimensional space and enabling parallel processing that increases throughput without proportionally increasing complexity.

The system merges the positioning function into the stationary arrangement of the conveying device itself, which naturally positions containers at fixed locations. The filling and plugging devices are positioned correspondingly to align with these fixed container positions, eliminating the need for separate moving mechanisms for each device. This integration maintains precise positioning while reducing the number of independent moving parts and their coordination requirements.

The containers are pre-positioned on the conveying device at specific locations before the filling and plugging operations begin. The filling and plugging devices are pre-aligned with these predetermined container positions, allowing them to operate statically at fixed locations. This preliminary positioning eliminates the need for dynamic adjustment mechanisms during the filling and plugging process, simplifying the overall device architecture while maintaining accuracy.
