Apparatus and Method for Sequencing Loading Units in a Predetermined Order
Loading units are collections of goods to be placed in sequence and compiled, as onto a pallet, for shipment. An apparatus is provided for sequencing loading units in a predetermined order. The apparatus includes a sequencing zone with a plurality of belts for receiving units to be sequenced, and a feeding device for units arranged upstream of the sequencing zone. Also included is a separation device with intakes for loading units. A distribution device distributes units onto the belts; a relocation device conveys separated units toward a downstream conveying device. The distribution device and the relocation device include a transverse pusher for pushing the units transversely to the belts or the intakes.
APPARATUS FOR HANDLING BOTTLES AND RELATED MACHINE
An apparatus for handling bottles, including a first and a second conveyor belt with directions of advancement incident with each other, and a deflector device for connecting the first and the second conveyor belts.

PROCESSING AND BUFFERING DEVICE
A processing and buffering device compatible with various conveying lines is disclosed and includes a fixing and installation mechanism, a jacking component and a clamping component. The fixing and installation mechanism is used for fixing the processing and buffering device on a lateral side of a conveying line. The jacking component is disposed on the fixing and installation mechanism, and includes a jacking cylinder and a connection element, wherein the jacking component is allowed moving up and down in a vertical direction under the action of the jacking cylinder. The clamping component is disposed on the fixing and installation mechanism, connected to the jacking component through the connection element, and includes a horizontal displacement cylinder and two clamping elements. The clamping component is driven by the jacking component to move. The clamping elements are driven by a horizontal displacement cylinder to perform a clamping operation or a releasing operation.
