In order to facilitate production of cans (3,103,103'), in particular of aerosol cans, magnetic conveyors (6,8) and magnetizable pallets (7,107,107') are provided, instead of chain conveyors including mandrels, in plants for producing containers. The cans (3,103,103') are fixed to the magnetiz- able pallets (7,107,107') and are passed to or through proc- essing stations, for example, by magnetic belt conveyors (6,8). The pallets (7,107,107') are connected to a connect- ing portion (132) projecting from the can bottom (130) which may be inserted into a connection opening (117) of the pal- let (7,107,107') by a riveting operation. By appropriately arranging the conveying surface (8) of the magnetic conveyor (6,8), the cans (3,103,103') may be oriented at will on the pallets (7,107,107') which are magnetically supported. The can opening is always freely accessible during conveying. In order to compensate for variations of through-put of the plant by simple means, belt conveyors having accumulation zones (46) are provided. |
