The invention relates to a conveying system comprising a plurality of conveying units comprising a chassis, a first and second roll-shaped rotating element (16, 18), a conveyor belt passed around the rotating elements (16, 18), which forms a supporting surface for a product, a first filler piece (20), wherein the first filler piece (20) is connected to the first rotating element (16) in such a way that the first filler piece (20) and the first rotating element (16) are jointly displaceable towards and away from the second rotating element (18), a second filler piece (22) which is fastened to the chassis between the first filler piece (20) and the second rotating element (18), and a removable spacer element (32) which, in use, is provided in a fitting manner between the first and second filler piece (20, 22), wherein a predetermined operating distance between the first and second rotating element (16, 18) is determined as a result of the placing of the spacer element (32) between the first and second filler piece (20, 22).

The invention relates to a carrying device for receiving goods, which comprises a carrying wall, having a front wall and a rear wall, and a closing device, having at least one closing means for releasably connecting the front wall to the rear wall in a closed state. The carrying wall is here arrangeable between the closed state and an open state, wherein in the closed state, it delimits a carrying volume for receiving the goods at least partially to the front, bottom and rear, and wherein in the open state, it opens up the carrying volume in the downward direction. The at least one closing means is arrangeable, in the open state, at a spacing from the carrying wall.

Article sorting equipment of the invention comprises a flat conveyor of the chain type having carrier links configured to convey articles towards sorting outlets in a certain conveying direction. The links are mounted to slide on the chain transversely relative to the conveying direction and the sorting outlets are disposed under the links of the chain, one after another in the conveying direction. The links are also arranged to come out from under the articles when they are slid so as to cause the articles to fall into the sorting outlets. A monitoring and control unit for monitoring and controlling the sorting equipment is also configured to cause the links to slide as a function of the sorting outlets into which the articles are to be sorted.

Device for transporting containers in a packaging line, having a number of guides that determine a closed route including a horizontal stretch and upon which a first and second carrying element slide. The guides are directed on a vertical plane and each carrying element has two arms, each one of which extends to one side of the vertical plane, each arm (5a; 6a) of a carrying element is designed to work alongside the arm arranged on a same side of the vertical plane of the other carrying element adjacent to them, to jointly secure and transport a corresponding container, so as to be secured and transported along the length of the horizontal stretch of the route and at least two containers between each two adjacent carrying elements at the same time, one at each side of the vertical plane.

An autonomous transport robot for transporting a payload, the autonomous transport robot including a drive section assembly having at least one motor and a pair of drive wheels coupled to the motor, a frame configured to support a payload, a transfer arm connected to the frame and configured for the autonomous transfer of payload to and from the frame, and a suspension system movably connecting the drive section assembly and the frame allowing relative movement between the frame and the drive section assembly.

A blow moulding machine for blow moulding a container having an integrally formed handle; said container blow moulded from a previously injection moulded preform; said preform comprising a body portion and said integrally formed handle; said machine including a preform loading station at which said preform is oriented by a preform orienting apparatus.

A laboratory distribution system is presented. The system comprises diagnostic laboratory container carriers and a conveyor. The conveyor comprises an endless drive defining a closed-loop conveyor pathway. The system comprises supporting elements attached to the endless drive. The supporting elements receive a container carrier and transport the container carrier in an upright position along a pathway section. The supporting elements are mounted pivotally about a horizontal pivot axis to the drive and structured such that a center of gravity of the supporting element with or without an empty or loaded container carrier is arranged below and vertically aligned with the pivot axis when the supporting element is in an upright position such that each supporting element is free to pivot about the associated pivot axis under the effect of gravitational forces acting on the supporting element for maintaining the supporting elements in an upright position while travelling along the path.

Carriage for transport systems, comprising a frame (1) on which a plurality of wheels (2A, 2B, 2C; 2D) configured to run on two opposite sides (31, 32) of a guide (3) are mounted. The frame (1) is in two parts (10, 11) on each of which a predetermined number of said wheels (2A, 2B, 2C; 2D) are mounted in respective fixed and predetermined positions. The carriage comprises tightening means (4) for tightening said parts (10, 11). The parts (10, 11) of the frame (1) have respective mating surfaces (101, 111) which are pushed against each other by the tightening means (4). On each of said parts (10, 11) of the frame (1) the wheels are mounted by means of respective fixed pins (PA, PB, PC; PD) protruding from corresponding mounting surfaces (100, 110) orthogonal to the mating surfaces (101, 111).
