  • the special feature of the device known from DE 100 10 145 A1 consists in the longitudinal division of each elongated plate into two complementary partial plates with a container receptacle at the same time dividing parting line.
  • the corresponding complementary partial plates DE 100 10 145 A1 are each independently on the outside held on an endlessly circulating funding.
  • the known device uses the effect that two each corresponding complementary partial plates when going through a Deflection range, for example a pair of chain stars, with respect of the deflection area different secant positions, i.e. a Angular position to each other, take what with an open Parting line and at the same time with open container receptacles. In these temporarily open container receptacles are then Holding areas of the container introduced.
  • the containers are removed in the known device, compared to the container feed described above, in in the opposite way to that with regard to the conveying direction downstream deflection area.
  • the known device is particularly suitable for the use of Suitable for bottles. Because a variety of bottles at least similar has shaped mouth areas with the same dimensions, what is the case with many types of PET bottles allows the known Device with the use of different types of bottles differing external shapes and volumes.
  • DE 100 10 145 A1 Another special feature of the device according to the DE 100 10 145 A1 is that corresponding to each other complementary part plates by means of plate vertical movement means of the primary centering means assigned to the funding and from below together with the containers they hold pushed onto secondary centering means and after filling the Containers in turn are lowered onto the primary centering means.
  • the device known from DE 100 10 145 A1 serves in this Related to the containers from below on filling pipes Push up doses and to avoid product foam in the Lower the course of the filling again.
  • the object underlying the invention is the known Remodel device and an additional or modified Supply use.
  • this object is shared with the features of the preamble of claim 1 solved in that at least one arrangement with secondary centering elements, each of the inclusion and centering of a partial plate serve to expand container receptacles from the corresponding complementary partial plate can be distanced.
  • Another preferred feature of the invention is that two arrangements with secondary centering elements, each of which arrangement serves to accommodate a complementary partial plate, for expansion the container receptacles can be spaced apart.
  • the distancing movement runs that of the secondary centering elements Arrangements symmetrical with respect to a transverse to the longitudinal axis (Conveying direction) of the device arranged level evenly.
  • Another preferred feature of the invention is that the primary Centering elements and the secondary centering elements each in the vertical direction are aligned with each other and with their towards each other pointing free end areas each form a centering cone.
  • Centering cones of the primary and secondary centering elements Form the same dimensions, each of which is a circular cylindrical Section joins.
  • At least one row of containers Assigned to vertical container movement are useful with.
  • Grippers or suction cups provided, which grip the container on their respective bottom surface can.
  • one advantage is that, for example Containers with an upper narrow mouth area and a lower one Container area of much larger diameter (such as PET bottles) e.g. after appropriate retrofitting with the previous ones mainly used cup fillers can be processed, at which the individual workstations in the upper part of the funding are assigned, while the lower conveyor run the return serves.
  • Containers with an upper narrow mouth area and a lower one Container area of much larger diameter such as PET bottles
  • PET bottles for example, can be equipped via a magazine fed from above, while two corresponding to each other complementary partial plates on the secondary centering means held and distanced from each other.
  • a container vertical means of movement for example by means of the bottom of the container gripping suction device, then the respective container through the expanded container receptacle so far down until the two complementary sub-plates are level of the container holding area and then to close the Container receptacles can in turn be moved towards one another, so that the respective container is held securely in the container receptacle is.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that complementary Partial plates with closed parting line together with the containers accommodated in them by the primary centering elements away and up over the secondary centering elements can be moved if it is the workstation, similar to that of the Device according to DE 100 10 145 A1, required.
  • Fig. 1-6 different operating phases of a container feed.
  • Conveyor chains 10 formed are not endless over two shown reversal stations performed.
  • the reversing stations can each be formed by chain star pairs, of which at least a chain star pair is driven.
  • Of the conveyor chain 10 is only one Length range of the upper conveyor chain consisting of a few chain links Shown OT.
  • Both conveyor chains 10 bear on opposite corresponding ones Make two consecutive in the conveying direction x Holding brackets 11.
  • Each holding bracket 11 points as the primary Centering element on a primary centering pin 12, each from a circular cylindrical base 13 and from the free end region forming, upwardly facing truncated cone 14.
  • Each primary centering pin 12 is a secondary centering pin 15 assigned, which in certain operating phases (see Fig. 1 and 2; 5 and 6) with the correlating primary centering pin 12 is aligned coaxially.
  • Each secondary centering pin 15 is on a holding arm 16, hanging downwards, fixed by means of a circular cylindrical base 17, which is followed by a truncated cone 18 pointing downwards.
  • Both holding arms 16 are components of a stationary arrangement Aggregate.
  • the filling device is cycled operated, i.e. the conveyor chains 10 are synchronized during one Movement phase in conveying direction x moved or clocked, which is followed by a rest phase in which the individual work stations, such as e.g. a container feed station, at least one product filling station, a lid placement station, a lid closing station and one Container removal station at different at the same time in the conveying direction x successive rows of containers.
  • the individual work stations such as e.g. a container feed station, at least one product filling station, a lid placement station, a lid closing station and one Container removal station at different at the same time in the conveying direction x successive rows of containers.
  • 1 is about a container magazine, not shown an approximately bottle-like container B fed in the downward direction z. How 3-6, the neck region H of the container B has a much smaller diameter than the two bulbous ones Areas 19, 20 of the container B. The mouth of the container B is marked with M.
  • the two sub-plates form P1 and P2 with mutually open substantially semicircular recesses 22 each together a container receptacle 23, which in position (see FIGS. 5 and 6) is the neck area H of each container B to enclose safely.
