Abstract
Bottling plant comprising a first transport system which moves containers through different machines, and a storage apparatus, which comprises a storage unit, a second transport system which extracts the containers from the first transport system to feed the storage unit, and a third transport system which picks up the containers in the storage unit to feed the first transport system. The first transport system comprises an upstream conveyor actuated at a first operative speed, and a downstream conveyor actuated at a second operative speed. The plant further comprises a control unit programmed with: a by-pass mode, in which it commands the conveyors with equivalent operative speeds, a storage mode, in which it commands the conveyors with the first operative speed greater than the second operative speed, and a recovery mode, in which it commands the conveyors with the first operative speed lower than the second operative speed.
