POT-FILLING MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for successively subjecting objects to a processing, comprising: - a transporting device for transporting the objects; - a feed device for feeding the objects for processing to the transporting device; - at least one processing device for processing the objects transported by the transporting device; and - a discharge device for discharging the objects from the transporting device, wherein the transporting device is adapted to transport the objects for processing with a uniform linear movement and wherein the processing device is adapted to perform the processing on the objects during the uniform movement. Owing to the fact that the objects are propelled with a linear uniform movement, the forces exerted on the object are minimal. According to a first preferred embodiment the processing device comprises at least one processing element which is adapted to perform a reciprocal movement along a path extending parallel to the transporting device and to process at least one object during the movement.
