Abstract
The apparatus for conveying containers in a filling machine comprises a rotary conveyor which has a plurality of mutually angularly equidistant sucker holder elements, each of which is adapted to accommodate a related container. Each sucker holder element is mounted so as to be radially slidable on the rotary conveyor, and adjustment elements are provided for modifying, in a radial direction with respect to the rotary conveyor, the position of the holder elements so as to adapt the apparatus for handling containers of various sizes without requiring the replacement of mechanical parts.
