Bottle feeding and processing system

摘要

System for feeding and processing bottles (1) to be conveyed to a device (30) for entry into a filling machine (40) operating at an assigned speed (Vp), the system comprising: a realignment centrifuge (100) fed randomly with the bottles (1) and having a tangential outlet (113); movement devices (12, 13, 14), able to convey the bottles (1) leaving the realignment centrifuge (100) and vary the speed of advancing movement thereof; at least one device (21) for handling the bottles; the realignment centrifuge is operated at an operating speed (Vc) greater than the speed (Vp) of the filling machine, and movement devices (12, 14) comprise at least a first device (12); a third device (14); said handling device (21) has means (5) for gripping the bottles.

1. A system for feeding and processing/handling bottles (1) to be conveyed to a device (30) for entry into a filling machine (40):
a realignment centrifuge (100) fed randomly with the bottles (1) operating at a speed (Vc) greater than an assigned speed (Vp) of reference and having a tangential outlet (113) extending in a longitudinal direction (X-X) of advancing movement of the bottles (1); movement devices (12, 13, 14) extending in the same longitudinal direction (X-X) of advancing movement, arranged downstream of said realignment centrifuge (100) and able to convey the bottles (1) leaving the realignment centrifuge (100) and vary the speed of advancing movement thereof; at least one bottle handling device (21);wherein
the bottles (1) leaving the realignment centrifuge (100) lie horizontally in the longitudinal direction (X-X) of advancing movement, andsaid movement devices (12, 13) comprise at least
a first device (12) operated at a first speed (V12) less than the speed (Vc) of the realignment centrifuge (100); wherein the movement devices further comprises:
a second device (13) arranged downstream of the first device (12) and operated with a speed (V13) less than or the same as the speed (V12) of the first movement device; a third device (14) operated at a speed (V14) greater than the speed (V12) of the first movement device, depending on and synchronized with the assigned speed (Vp) said handling device (21) has a first actuator (2), provided with gripping means (5), for gripping a bottle (1) and designed to rotate in both directions, i.e. clockwise and anti-clockwise, about a respective first axis of rotation (I) parallel to the longitudinal direction (X-X) of advancing movement of the bottles; a second actuator (3), which is kinematically connected to the first actuator (2) and is designed to cause rotation of the first actuator (2) in both directions, i.e. clockwise or anti-clockwise, about a second axis of rotation II perpendicular to the first axis of rotation (I).
