A bare bottle pre-grouping and stacking device includes a bottle feeding and conveying mechanism, a grouping and conveying mechanism, a stacking and conveying mechanism, and a pre-grouping mechanism. The bottle feeding and conveying mechanism is configured to transport multiple columns of bare bottles. The grouping and conveying mechanism is disposed downstream of the bottle feeding and conveying mechanism. The stacking and conveying mechanism is disposed at an outlet end of the grouping and conveying mechanism and has the same conveying direction as the grouping and conveying mechanism. The pre-grouping mechanism includes a mechanical arm and a pre-grouping clamp.

A packaging method is described in which at least one primary packaging (2) is inserted through a closable opening into a secondary packaging (3) after a handling device (20) has been positioned at the closable opening of the secondary packaging (3). The primary packaging (2) is guided by the handling device (20) during its insertion into the opening of the secondary packaging (3), and a target position of the primary packaging (2) is predetermined within the secondary packaging (3). After insertion of the at least one primary packaging (2) into the secondary packaging (3), the opening of the secondary packaging (3) is at least partially closed under the cooperation or action of the handling device (20). Furthermore, a packaging module is described which is designed to perform such a packaging process.

The pack for products has a bottom layer, an intermediate layer, and a top layer, which are arranged one above the other and at a distance from one another and which are connected to each other. The top layer has a receiving strip, which has a plurality of recesses. The receiving strip is pivotable in the direction of the bottom layer about a pivoting axis, which is arranged in the region of the top layer. In the pivoted receiving state of the receiving strip, entry openings of the recesses for the insertion of the products point away from the bottom layer, and supporting sections of the recesses for supporting portions of the products form a boundary of the recesses which lies opposite the entry openings. The intermediate layer has an aperture in a pivoting range of the receiving strip.

The present invention discloses a gripper device using an air-tube. Particularly, the gripper device quickly performs release on gripping of a product. The gripper device is designed so that compressed air for griping, which is introduced through a first tube and accumulated in an expansion space of a side wall of the cylindrical air-tube, is instantly discharged to the outside through a second tube that is opened by a reverse movement of a valve and the air-tube. Thus, the release is quickly performed to resultantly extremely reduce an operation time of a transfer operation in which gripping, transferring, releasing, and returning of the product are repeated.
