Filling and closing packets of flowing products - using intermittently moving conveyor with rotor with several angularly spaced rotating transport channels and locally fixed filling and closing stations

摘要

The conveyors for intermittently moving the packets from a basic position through intermediate positions to an end position has a circular rotor (9) driven in rotation about a vertical centre axis (13). Several angularly spaced radially aligned transport channels (7) co-rotate with the rotor. The filling and closing stations are set locally fixed angularly spaced from each other at a height above the rotor (9). The supply (6) and discharge (52) conveyors are set angularly spaced below the rotor so that their relevant standing faces for the packets (8) are at the same level as the standing face of the transport channels (7). The standing face for the transport channel is formed by radially spaced concentric guide supports locally fixed at the base level of the rotor. USE/ADVANTAGE - Filling and closing packets of flowing products. Accurate control and monitoring of the movements of the packets is possible.
