Transfer device and method for transferring flexible containers

摘要

The present invention relates to a transfer device (40) and method for transferring flexible containers (30). The transfer device (40) for transferring flexible containers (30) from collection positions (31a)(31b) to delivery positions (32a)(32b), said collection positions (31a)(31b) being adjacent to and aligned with one another in the transfer path, and said delivery positions (32a)(32b) being non-adjacent to and misaligned with one another in said transfer path, and furthermore introducing a separation (D) between the flexible containers (30) transferred in successive batches, has the feature of having at least two clamps (10a)(10b) assembled on at least two moving carriages (20a)(20b) which move in parallel in the transfer path and in the production direction when they transfer flexible containers (30), and all or all but one of the clamps (10a)(10b) are furthermore assembled on a transverse guide (50) allowing the movement thereof in a transverse path (Y) perpendicular to the translation path (X).
