The present invention relates to a packaging method for packaging a pourable product in at least one container, by means of which it is obtained an improvement in the flexibility of the packaging machine configured for carrying out the method with regards to the type of the product which is to be packaged, and to a machine configured for carrying out the method.

Machine and method for packaging pourable food products

An apparatus for producing plastic bottles comprising: a blow moulding machine including a blow moulding carousel being configured to transform a succession of plastic preforms into respective bottles; a filling machine including: a filling carousel, and a plurality of handling units; a labeling unit configured to feed a succession of labels to be attached to the respective bottles; and a conveying system configured to transfer the bottles within the apparatus. The labeling unit is arranged peripherally to the filling carousel and is configured to feed the labels to the handling units carrying the respective bottles while the handling units are advanced by the filling carousel. The conveying system includes a plurality of consecutive transport star wheels transferring the bottles in a continuous stream from the blow moulding carousel to the filling carousel.

Apparatus for producing plastic bottles

The present disclose relates to a receptacle handling apparatus. In one implementation, the apparatus includes a filling carousel with filling units adapted for filling respective receptacles during advancement of the receptacles from a receiving station to a transfer station and a capping carousel with capping units adapted for receiving respective filled receptacles at an insertion station and adapted to cap said receptacles during advancement from the insertion station to a release station. The transfer station and the insertion station are spaced apart, and the capping carousel includes gripping units, each having at least one outwardly extensible gripping arm assembly moveable between a retracted and an extracted configuration, such that the gripping arm assembly cooperates with the filling carousel to transfer a relative filled receptacle from the transfer station to the insertion station.

Receptacle handling apparatus for filing and capping receptacles

There is described a conveying and cooling apparatus (') for conveying and cooling receptacles () comprising a conveying device () for advancing receptacles () along a conveying path (P), a cooling device (&#x2032;) for cooling the receptacles (). The cooling device (&#x2032;) comprises a supply unit adapted to supply a cooling medium, a plurality of advancing injection nozzles () adapted to be in fluid connection with the supply unit and for directing a cooling medium onto the receptacles () and a plurality of valve members (), each one associated to one respective injection nozzle () and adapted to selectively open or close the fluid connection between the respective injection nozzle () and the supply unit ().

Receptacle conveying and cooling apparatus, a method of operating such a receptacle conveying and cooling apparatus and a receptacle treatment machine having such a receptacle conveying and cooling apparatus

A machine for filling containers, each container having a longitudinal axis, the machine comprising: a conveying device; at least one handling unit including a support device configured to receive and retain a container and at least one filling device selectively activated for feeding a pourable product into the container while the at least one handling unit travels along the transfer path; a pressurizing circuit; a decompression circuit; at least one actuating device; and a control unit configured to: control activation and deactivation of the at least one filling device and the at least one actuating device; control connection of the pressurization circuit and the decompression circuit with the container; and simultaneously maintain the at least one actuating device in an active state while the decompression circuit is in communication with the container so as to rotate the container about the longitudinal axis during decompression.

Machine and method for filling containers

A machine for filling a container having a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The machine comprises a conveying device, and at least one handling unit moved by the conveying device along a path. The at least one handling unit comprises a support device configured to receive and retain the container, and at least one filling device configured to feed a pourable product into the container as the at least one handling unit travels along the path. The machine further comprises an actuator configured to rotate the container about the longitudinal axis while the container is filled with the pourable product by the at least one filling device.

Machine and a method for filling containers

There is described a labelling machine for applying a plurality of labels to a respective plurality of articles; the machine comprises a conveying device movable along a given path (P) and having a plurality of operating units for receiving and retaining the articles to be labelled, feeding means for feeding the labels to the operating units, application means for applying the labels to the articles, and a marking unit () arranged upstream from the conveying device and comprising means () for marking a surface of each label with a mark (M) univocally associable with the corresponding operating unit by which said label shall be received and processed.

Labelling machine and method thereof

A Support structure () for container handling machines, comprising a single-piece assembled table () having a first wall () provided with a plurality of first support housings () and a second wall () opposite to said first wall () with respect to a plane (P) of reference of said table (). Said second wall () is provided with a plurality of second support housings () arranged in a mirror-like manner to said first support housings () with respect to said plane (P) of reference, the first and second support housings being alternatively associable to a handling machine or to a floor-standing bearing (), whereby the support structure () can be overturned for defining altered layouts.

Support structure for container handling machines

There is disclosed a conveying apparatus for articles, provided with a first conveyor having an inlet section for articles to be conveyed and an outlet section for the articles, and with a second conveyor which can be selectively set in communication with a transfer section of the first conveyor; the first conveyor is selectively set in a first operative release configuration of the articles at the outlet section and in at least one second operative release configuration of the articles at its transfer section; the second conveyor is selectively set in a first operative withdrawal configuration of the articles from the first conveyor at its transfer section and at least in one second operative inhibition configuration of this withdrawal.
