<p>An apparatus (1) for processing containers of liquids; in particular, the apparatus according to the present invention is adapted to move containers, particularly kegs (8), meant to be processed for example with washing operations and/or be filled with liquids such as beverages, from and toward a processing station (3). The apparatus is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of processing stations (3), which are arranged in a linear fashion and on which the kegs being processed are mutually aligned, and in that it further comprises a loading conveyor (2) and an unloading conveyor (4), each arranged at one of the two opposite sides of said processing stations (3) and substantially parallel thereto. A handling unit (5) is capable of handling the kegs from the loading conveyor to the processing station and from the processing station to the unloading conveyor very simply and rapidly. The system (1) according to the present invention achieves the aim of providing a system which is extremely simple and easy to manage and maintain, at the same time obtaining a system in which the steps of the processing cycle are variable and can be set according to specific user requirements. The precision of the keg loading/unloading system is obtained by means of controllers and actuators managed by numeric-control encoders.</p> |
