Moving small bottle packs round corner on conveyor - using rotating thin walled drivers which grip packs between rollers and push them in transverse direction

摘要

The installation is for moving small packs such as multi-bottle packs round a corner on a conveyor. The bottle packs (1) are transported on a roller conveyor (2) with the smallest possible roller dia. and with the narrowest possible roller division. The packs are pushed in a transverse direction by rotating thin walled drivers (9) which move on vertical circular tracks and which grip from below between the rollers (6). The drivers are fitted to thin-walled cam plates (13) which are positioned on a joint drive shaft (14) located below the rollers (6) and extending transverse to the rollers axes.
