<p>A device for handling containers (2) of a collapsible type, comprising one or more stations (S) and a transport unit (4). The device is arranged to receive said containers (2) oriented in a first direction (P1) and the transport unit (4) is arranged to transport said containers (2) to at least one of said stations (S) by moving the containers (2) in a second direction (P2) along a curved path (6), said second direction (P2) being perpendicular to said first direction (P1). The device has a holding means provided for said at least one station (S) and located in a stationary position adjacent to the station (S) and a transfer means (18), which is provided for said at least one station (S) and carried by the transport unit (4) and which is cyclically movable along an endless path between a pick-up position (A) and a delivery position (B) located adjacent to the station (S). The transfer means (18) is arranged to pick up at least one container (2) in the pick-up position (A) and transfer said at least one container (2), in the delivery position (B), to the holding means. The invention also concerns a method for handling containers of a collapsible type in a filling machine.</p> |
