PURPOSE:To automatically conduct a course of operations of accumulating a predetermined amount of receptacles such as bottles or the like, clamping the receptacles with a stabilizer of a transfer apparatus to be transferred to a platform, and then loading the receptacles on a pallet through a sheet. CONSTITUTION:When a group of receptacles for one layer is accumulated at a fixed position of an aligning conveyer 12, a gauntry 8 descends along a mast 3 of a lifter 2, and the group of receptacles is surrounded by a sweeper frame 21 of a transfer apparatus 9. Movable frames 22, 23 are moved inward by a cylinder in a stabilizer 11 so as to clamp the group of receptacles. After that, the frame 21 is moved to the right through a chain 19 by the operation of a driving unit 13 to transfer the group of receptacles onto a platform 6. On the other hand, after a sheet S is supplied to a bulk forming place A by a supplier 62, the stabilizer 11 is moved onto the sheet S to discharge the group of receptacles, so that the group of receptacles is placed on a pallet P through the sheet S. |
