Abstract: A transport apparatus including a rotary transport mechanism (5), which rotationally transports multiple equidistantly installed article holding members (gripper pairs (4)) in one direction along an annular trackway having a pair of parallel portions, and a reciprocating drive mechanism (6), which causes the entire rotary transport mechanism (5) to reciprocate a predetermined distance along the parallel portions. The article holding members are moved at a velocity of travel that is a combination of velocity of the reciprocating motion and velocity of the rotary transport. The velocity of the rotary transport and the velocity of the reciprocating motion are controlled by a control unit (9). The article holding members travel along the parallel portions on both sides (Lanes A and B) in an intermittent manner, each time covering a distance that is an integral multiple of the installation spacing p of the article holding members.

Abstract: An apparatus for bundling containers includes a linear conveyor, a guide element, conveying elements, and application elements, each of which applies adhesive to a portion of a container surface, The conveying elements are driven and controllable to travel along the conveyor and to circulate along the guide element. Each conveying element has a container guide that rotates relative to the conveying element. The guide element has a feed strand with central, transition, and end sections that merge into each other. The central section is further from the central axis than the end section. The distance from end section to central axis is such that containers circulating on the end section are brought into contact with adhesive on a surface of an adjacent container.

Abstract: A method for converting a first container stream into a second container stream that has a different width from said first container stream includes moving a container from the first container stream to a first transfer position, at the first transfer position, using a container holder of a conversion section to grip the container, to move it along a third transport direction until it arrives at a selected one of a several second transfer positions, and to then release it onto the second transport section, thereby enabling the container to join the second container stream. The second transfer positions are offset relative to each other in a direction along the second width.

Abstract: A transporting apparatus serves for transporting containers in a container-handling installation, which has a first container-handling arrangement for handling containers, and a second container-handling arrangement, which is arranged downstream of the first handling arrangement and serves for handling the containers once they have been handled by the first container-handling arrangement. The transporting apparatus includes a transporting path, which has its entire length arranged between the first and second container-handling arrangement and along which the containers can be transported from the first container-handling arrangement to the second container-handling arrangement. The apparatus includes at least one transporting element, which is mounted in a movable manner on the transporting path and is intended for retaining and transporting a container. The transporting path and the at least one transporting element are configured such that the at least one transporting element, en route between the first and second container-handling arrangements, compensate for a difference in speeds of transportation of the containers in the first and second container-handling arrangements.
