Rotary conveyor

摘要

A rotary conveyor has a supporting shaft (5) rotating about a respective longitudinal axis (Y) and having a top attachment end (13) having a radial projection (14); a bottom platform (6) fitted to the supporting shaft (5); and a circular top plate (7) having a central opening (15) for fitment to the top attachment end (13). The circular top plate (7) also has, on its peripheral edge (8), a number of seats (9), each for receiving a container (2) to be conveyed resting on the bottom platform (6). The conveyor (1) also has fastening means (16) for fastening the circular top plate (7) to the supporting shaft (5). The fastening means (16) include at least one clamp (17) movable between an idle position permitting engagement of the top attachment end (13) by the circular top plate (7) or removal of the circular top plate from the top attachment end (13) of the supporting shaft (5), and a work position to grip the circular top plate (7) between the radial projection (14) and the clamp (17). And an actuating member (18) moves the clamp (17) between the work position and the idle position. <IMAGE>
