Container e.g. can, conveying unit for conveyor system, has rollers to form V-shaped channel into which container slides to identify labels in container when rollers are in active connection position i.e. neutral position of conveyor belt

摘要

The unit has a conveyor belt (11) to transport a container, which is rotated by rollers forming a V-shaped channel. A claw coupling connects the belt to a drive mechanism (3), which changes the belt between active connection and neutral positions. Labels in the container are identified as the container slides into the channel, when the rollers are in an active connection position i.e. in the neutral position of the belt. An independent claim is also included for a conveyor system with a conveying unit.
