Method for inserting cotton wool dabbers into containers

摘要

The method involves rotating two star wheels (4, 6) in cycles. Three containers are provided at a time during each cycle, where the containers are arranged in a straight line and partially filled with products. A wad holder among a set of wad holders (8-18) of each star wheel is horizontally shifted during rotation of the star wheel such that the wad holders of each star wheel are arranged in the straight line when the wad holders are in wad-ejecting positions (B, B', B''). Cotton wads held by the three wad holders are transferred into the containers while the wad holders are in the positions.
