Machine for processing and/or packaging objects and method for modifying a conveying section of this machine

摘要

A machine for processing and/or packaging objects, said machine having horizontal conveying section for conveying articles, packages, and/or packaging units, which conveying section includes a first horizontal conveying device with a conveyor for a first operating mode and replaceable by a further horizontal conveying device with a second conveyor different from the first conveyor to establish a further operating mode. A method for modifying a conveying section of a machine for processing and/or packaging objects, wherein articles, packages, and/or packaging units are conveyed essentially horizontally on the conveying section using of a first horizontal conveying device with at least one conveyor in a first operating mode, and wherein at least one further operating mode is established by replacing the first horizontal conveying device with a further horizontal conveying device including at least one second conveyor which is different from the first conveying means conveyor.

主权项

1. A machine for processing and/or packaging objects comprising:
a horizontal conveying section for conveying articles, packages and/or packaging units, the conveying section including a first horizontal conveying device with at least one first conveyor for a first operating mode, the first horizontal conveying device replaceable by a second horizontal conveying device with at least one second conveyor different from the first conveyor in order to establish at least one second operating mode, the second horizontal conveying device taking a second horizontal conveying device position in the second operating mode that replaces a first horizontal conveying device position of the first horizontal conveying device during the first operating mode; the at least one first conveyor including circulating conveyor chains adapted for conveying the articles, packages or packaging units in groups on support pads, with flap folding fingers capable of emerging from below a level of conveyance, the second conveyor being different from the first conveyor and having a flat conveyor support surface capable of transporting the articles, packages or packaging units without the support pads in the groups; and a hoist setting aside the second horizontal conveying device in a rest position above a conveying level in the first operating mode.
