Abstract
A carousel machine for processing containers includes a rotating carousel, provided peripherally with pans for supporting the individual containers to be processed, and a device for loading/unloading the containers from the carousel. The loading/unloading device includes at least one linear motor which has a stationary track with a closed path and handling carriages, which are mounted so that they can move slidingly and in mutual succession along the track and each support at least one respective jaw adapted to cooperate with a jaw supported by a contiguous carriage in order to engage, on mutually opposite sides, a container to be transferred or picked up from the carousel. Control of the linear motor is provided and is adapted to actuate variation of the mutual distance of mutually contiguous carriages in order to allow the release or clamping of a container by the corresponding jaws.
