Container processing facility

A container processing facility in which a stacked container group comprised of a plurality of containers stacked on each other is transferred between the container processing facility and a transport vehicle configured to transport the stacked container group and processing is performed on the containers included in the stacked container group, the container processing facility comprising:

• a loading section adjacent to a travel path of the transport vehicle and configured to receive the stacked container group from the transport vehicle;
• an unloading section adjacent to the travel path and configured to transfer the stacked container group to the transport vehicle;
• a work station comprising a device configured to perform work on the containers
• or an output device configured to output a work instruction to a worker who performs work on the containers;
• an unstacking device configured to perform unstacking processing for sequentially separating the containers from the stacked container group;
• a stacking device configured to perform stacking processing for generating the stacked container group by sequentially stacking the plurality of containers;
• a first conveyor device configured to convey the stacked container group received from the transport vehicle at the loading section to the unstacking device and convey the containers sequentially separated from the stacked container group by the unstacking device to the work station;
• and
• a second conveyor device configured to convey the containers from the work station to the stacking device and convey the stacked container group generated by sequentially stacking the plurality of containers in the stacking device to the unloading section,
• wherein the loading section and the unloading section are spaced apart from each other in a travel direction extending along the travel path, the travel path being a path along which the transport vehicle travels in one direction, and the unloading section is disposed downstream of the loading section along the travel path.
