METHOD AND CONTAINER CONVEYOR FOR REARRANGING A CONTAINER FLOW, AND DEVICE HAVING SAME

摘要

A method for separating containers in a densely packed container flow from each other so that they are spaced by a defined distance includes using a compartment star to place the containers on a rearrangement portion and then sweeping the containers forward using catch elements that move along the rearrangement portion so that they arrive at an inlet star with a separation that enables them to be picked up by a waiting inlet-star receptacle.
