Abstract (en)

The packer consists of a head (7) with a plate and a number of suction grippers (8), one for each container in the group. In between the grippers the head is equipped with a series of conical spacers (10) which hold the containers (1a-e) at the correct intervals for the package. The containers travel along a conveyor (3) between parallel guides (4) until they reach a stop (5), and in that position the head is lowered to pick up a group of containers and transfer them to a package. Depending on the configuration of the groups of containers being packed, the suction grippers can be in a single line or in two or more rows.
