Abstract
It comprises means (2) for advancing the bottles (3) and a cutting device (1) of the neck of the bottles. Said cutting device (1) comprises a pair of blades (7), a pair of rotating plates (4) for drawing the bottles (3) along and a plurality of drive pulleys (9) in contact with the bottles (3), in such a way that as the rotating plates (4) move so too do the bottles, at the same time rotating about their axes and in contact with the blades. These characteristics ensure fast and effective cutting of the bottles, while the cutting device occupies little space.
