However, it is also conceivable to arrange certain treatment devices / equipment devices along with a transport system, e.g. Containers that are transported on the transport system can be treated / equipped.

  • the container distribution can also be decided spontaneously for each container by controlling the distributor device
  • a distribution to the equipment devices can be decided based on the incoming container type.
  • an equipment device could be designed for 1.5 liter round plastic bottles and another equipment device for 0.3 liter oval glass bottles.
  • the containers could be assigned to the respective equipment device by means of a weight or bottle contour measurement using a camera or a wall thickness measurement.
  • the container format can be stored in the control in previous processes (e.g. when manufacturing or filling the container) and e.g. can be called up again by means of shift register use in the distribution device.
  • a decision about the container distribution can be made depending on the occupancy or occupancy status of the equipment devices. If, for example, they have a buffer or a flexible transport system, they can also an occupancy of the respective equipment device, for example the buffer level, can form the basis for whether a container is fed to this equipment device (if a space at a container receptacle is currently free) or not.
  • the decision on the distribution based on the control measurement of containers equipped. Delivers e.g. a first equipment device better results than a second, depending on the power requirement, more containers can be distributed to the first equipment device than to the second. If the required output can only be satisfied by the first equipment, the second equipment can also be temporarily stopped for maintenance purposes (fine adjustment, cleaning pressure nozzles). If a higher output is currently required, the containers can also be distributed in a certain ratio, so that the first equipment is fully utilized and the second only fulfills the remaining requirements.

  • Containers 434 can be treated individually and / or in groups (in batches) within a container stream.
  • Printing devices, pre-treatment and post-treatment units can be docked onto the distribution device 404 individually, in groups and / or in a modular manner. This allows a high degree of flexibility or improvement with regard to the performance and efficiency of the system 400, since, for example, the number and arrangement of the printing devices can be changed as required and printing devices can be serviced without having to shut down the entire system 400.
  • the system 400 can, among other things, have an empty field 430 between printing devices and / or treatment units, in which, for example, containers 434 can be rotated, e.g. can enable double-sided printing of the container.
  • a special empty field 430 can under certain circumstances simplify the rotation of containers, in particular in the case of asymmetrical containers which are bulky in comparison to the system, for example without having to make any restrictions in the compactness of the structural arrangement of the system 400.
  • the containers 434 can be fed to the system 400 via transfer stars or transfer units 433, 432 by means of a distributor device 435 (401) or removed from the system 400 (402).

After passing through the equipment device, which can be designed, for example, as a carousel with the direction of rotation or container circulation direction 507, a further transfer device 510 can transfer the containers 506 back to the distribution device 513 and, for example, to another module 502 (only indicated schematically) analogously to Forward the first module 501 or bypass it.

  • a gripper 521 can remove container 505 from the distribution device from a continuous run, which is why an accompanying route can be provided in order to be able to give the gripper enough time to access it.
  • a second gripper 519 can grab a container from the equipment device 508, so that a space or a container receptacle in the equipment device is free. In this free space, e.g. a container held by the gripper 517 can be precisely inserted.
  • housings 514 which can shield individual containers from one another on the equipment device 508 designed as a carousel.
  • the equipment 508 e.g. is a printing device with several printing stations and / or ink curing stations, can for example prevent a housing that e.g. UV light can pass from an ink curing process at one station to a neighboring station, where, for example, printing is currently in progress and curing of the printing ink is not currently desired.
  • the enclosure can e.g. consist of two side walls between the stations, the equipment table as a shielding downwards, and a wall (not shown), which the containers e.g. shields in the direction of the axis of rotation of the carousel and a cover, not shown, for shielding upwards.
  • the container can be freely accessible, both for the print heads of each station, as well as for a possible drying or post-treatment or removal from the carousel.
  • All elements of the housing can be immovably arranged on the carousel and rotated with it, without changing your position to the carousel.
  • this simple housing requires a somewhat more complex point-like transfer of the containers by the grippers of the transfer device with simultaneous accompaniment (until, for example, the pick-up of the printing carousel has snapped shut), complex movements of housing wall elements can be avoided.

  • the containers can be transferred from the first distributor carousel 617 to a second distributor carousel 618 by means of transfer device 604.
  • the containers 616 can be routed from distribution carousel 618 to equipment devices 610, 611, 612, 613, wherein the transfer of the containers from the second distribution carousel 618 to the respective equipment device can take place with none, one or two transfer devices.

  • Equipment and pre- and post-treatment of the containers can be controlled here via two separate distributor carousels.
  • the container transport elements of the distributor carousels are equipped with container rotating devices so that containers e.g. are rotatable in the direction of rotation 619.
