1. An apparatus that conveys container pre-forms, comprising:
a first circulating carrier; and a plurality of engagement devices constructed and arranged on the first circulating carrier, such that the engagement devices circulate along a pre-set circulation path during a movement of the first circulating carrier, wherein the circulation path has at least one portion at which the engagement devices are fed during the movement along the circulation path onto a flow of the container pre-forms, wherein the engagement devices are positioned between each of the pre-forms, and wherein the engagement devices are shaped such that during the feed onto the flow of the container pre-forms each engagement device applies a force between two adjacent container pre-forms and forces the two container pre-forms apart from each other, wherein a geometrical position of at least one portion of the circulation path of the engagement devices is adjustable, wherein a depth of penetration of the engagement devices into the flow of the container pre-forms is adjustable for setting a desired division between the adjacent container pre-forms. |
