Device for accumulation and transferring of food boxes between upstream and downstream treatment machines, has handling head for handling batch of objects and moving batch of objects from accumulation surface to discharge conveyor

摘要

The device (2) has a robotized manipulator (18) for transferring a batch of objects from a supply conveyor (6) to an accumulation surface (27). A handling head (7) handles the batch of objects and moves the batch of objects from the accumulation surface to a discharge conveyor (8). The handling head is designed as a U-shaped cap, where the U-shape is visible in a plane perpendicular to a conveying direction of the supply conveyor or the discharge conveyor. The handling head is vertically movable between an active position and a retracted position. An independent claim is also included for a method for transferring a batch of objects.
