PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make constant the supply amount of containers per unit time when the containers are supplied from an accumulator conveyor to a multi-row conveyor. SOLUTION: Multiple rows of containers sent from a filler/capacity in a random state are conveyed by an accumulator conveyor part 110, a multi-row conveyor part 120, and a combiner 130, gradually reduced in row width, brought into a one series row state, and sent to a labeller 20 through a single row conveyor group 140. A photographing area S on the accumulator conveyor 112 is photographed by a photographing camera 210, the image taken is image-processed and calculated to calculate the number of containers in the photographing area S and the number of container groups in a measurement area K (= 2 x S). When each container group is carried out from the accumulator conveyor 112 into the multi-row conveyor 121, the speed of the accumulator conveyor is decreased if the number of containers is large. When the number of containers is less, the speed of the accumulator conveyor is increased. Consequently, the number of the containers per unit time conveyed to the multi-row conveyor 121 is uniformized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
