Abstract
A device for separating, treating and rejoining objects includes a process wheel for transporting bottom and cover pieces of the objects, a separating device, and an insert device for inserting the pieces in the process wheel. The process wheel has a first lower receiving ring with a first radius and a second upper receiving ring with a second smaller radius which are jointly rotatable as a unit. A wheel assembly is arranged between the separating device and the process wheel. The wheel assembly has a first lower wheel with bottom holders distributed around the periphery and a second upper wheel with cover holders for the cover pieces distributed around the periphery. The bottom holders and/or the cover holders in the circumferential direction are larger than the received bottom pieces or cover pieces such that, in operation, they surround the bottom or cover pieces with a compensation play.
