Abstract

The method involves filling containers (4,10) with articles, outputting containers to a full container accepting station (14) and feeding them to an emptying device (56). The dwell time of containers at the full container accepting station is determined and their transportation to the emptying device is dependent on the detected dwell time. If a minimum dwell time is equaled or exceeded the containers are passed directly to the emptying device. Independent claims are also included for the following: a container conveyor.
