摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus for introducing loose materials, in particular catalysts made up of small bodies, into tubes, containers and the like which has a number of charging units and a transport device ( 1 ) which moves all the charging units simultaneously. To achieve reliable and exact relocation of the filling units, the transport device comprises a baseplate ( 2 ) which can be moved back and forth, at least one piston-cylinder unit ( 3 ) fastened to the baseplate and one or more transport claws ( 5 ), with the transport claws being operatively connected to the piston-cylinder unit, being rotatable about a common axis and having their free end projecting through openings ( 6 ) in the baseplate into tubes ( 7 ), containers and the like and the length of the openings in the direction of movement of the baseplate being equal to or greater than the stroke of the piston-cylinder unit.
