FIELD: mechanical engineering; materials handling facilities. SUBSTANCE: proposed invention relates to devices for transportation of many containers on continuously moving outgoing conveyor located near support surface. Two knockout plates are arranged along surface opposite to conveyor. Knockout plates are moved out in direction towards conveyor for simultaneously shifting preset number of containers onto conveyor. Shuttle plate with cells is arranged above conveyor. Cells are designed for taking in cartons when they are pushed onto conveyor. Shuttle plate is then moved along conveyor to provide movement of container lot at speed equal to conveyor speed. When speeds of cartons and conveyor are equalized, shuttle plate is moved back and containers continue their movement on conveyor. Shuttle plate is returned into initial position to receive other lot of containers. EFFECT: provision of stable operation of conveyor by excluding turning over of filled containers and, consequently, stopping and wedging of conveyor. 16 cl, 8 dwg
