FILLING MACHINE AND FILLING MACHINE OPERATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B65B43/12 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: machine contains delivery lines passing in transportation direction to which lines packing shells for containers manufacturing are brought and along which the shells or made of them containers are conveyed. In this system, the delivery lines contain the first segment and after it in direction of conveyance, the second segment where delivery lines pass in parallel to each other. In this system, a distance at least between two delivery lines in the first and the second segments across run of delivery lines has different value, so that at least one of two delivery lines in the second segment passes with lateral offset relative to the first segment, and in direction of conveyance before the second segment, manipulator located which accepts shells or containers from delivery lines in the first segment and transfers them to delivery lines in the second segment. The method includes feeding packing shells for containers manufacturing to passing in conveyance direction delivery lines of filling machine, conveyance of shells or containers made of them along the first segment and laying after it in conveyance direction second segment of delivery lines, where the delivery lines pass in parallel to each other, acceptance of shells or containers from delivery lines in the first segment and transfer of shells or containers to delivery lines in the second segment by means of manipulator. Herewith, distance at least between two delivery lines in the first and the second segments across run of delivery lines has different value, so that at least one of two delivery lines in the second segment passes with lateral offset relative to the first segment.

EFFECT: increased compactness and better serviceability.
