Definitions

  • inactive condition here we mean a condition in which the apparatus 10 is located when the sterilizing machine 12 is not functioning, or is sterilizing the loose products but is not yet ready to discharge them, or after the sterilized loose products have been discharged.
  • the closing force must be commensurate so that, when the at least one gripper actuator 50 is again activated, at least one of the two grippers 48, moving away from the sac 13, in a direction transverse to the direction of movement F, according to the sense of the arrows L2 (see fig. 5 ), causes a distension of the sac 13 without it slipping or disengaging from the grippers 48.
  • the sac-stretching unit 22 can be associated to the positioning device 24 and therefore can be made to move solidly therewith.
  • the sliding guides 60 can be disposed parallel to the direction of movement F, while the connection plates 62 can be associated transversely with them, in a direction parallel to the transport axis T and configured to move toward/away from the sac 13 which is positioned on each occasion between the connection plates 62.
  • the discharge device 28 can include at least a hopper 52, at least a shell 54 and at least a shell actuator 56.
