APPARATUS FOR REMOVING BROKEN BOTTLES FROM BOTTLE-FILLING INSTALLATIONS

摘要

The apparatus (1) according to the invention, which is positioned in particular downstream of pasteurizing machines in bottle-filling installations, is intended to provide a solution by which any fragments of bottles with metal closures which arise are removed reliably from the rest of the conveying path. This is achieved by two transporting belts (4, 6), which carry the bottles (2) and are arranged one behind the other, by way of a gap (5) between the transporting belts which allows fragments (8) to fall out, there being provided above the belt gap (5) a magnetizable overhead conveyor (7) which bridges the gap and is intended for gripping the intact bottles (2) and transferring them in a hanging state over the gap (5).
