<p>A machine for automatically positioning and feeding containers It includes a main hopper (2) for receiving randomly containers (1), and a bottom (4) with a peripheral edge portion at a distance from the side wall of the hopper (2) to provide a space through which the containers can drop, by gravity towards a lower section, a lateral aperture (32) in the side wall of the hopper in a curved lateral area (13) preceding the container unloading station (14), the aperture being adapted to remove mainly by centrifugal force malpositioned containers housed only partially in and protruding from holding and transporting units (6), or located external to them and conveyed by other containers, the aperture communicating with a recovering auxiliary hopper (15), external to the main hopper and a coupled belt type conveyor (16) associated with the external hopper for recycling containers into the loading area preceding the lateral aperture (32). An air jet (33) or at least one rotating brush (18) impinging on containers not correctly positioned may be incorporated as a supplement to the action of centrifugal force. <IMAGE></p> |
