Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method of processing containers. Herein, a processing system is used in which all of the processing units for the containers are kinematically rigidly coupled to one another. According to the invention, a specified number of containers is supplied to the first processing unit of the system and the working speed of the system is reduced after the last container has left the first processing unit and before the specified number of the first containers has reached the second processing unit.
Claims21
A method of controlling a system for processing containers including a first processing unit, in which the containers are processed in a first specified manner, a second processing unit, in which the containers are processed in a second specified manner which is different from the first manner, with the first processing unit and the second processing unit being kinematically rigidly coupled to one another, and with the second processing unit being located downstream of the first processing unit in the transport direction of the containers, wherein the supply of containers into the first processing unit is interrupted at a first specified point in time (t1) and the working speed of the processing units is reduced at a second point in time (t2) which is later than the first point in time, with the working speed not being reduced until after essentially all of the containers in the first processing unit have been processed thereby.
A method of controlling a system for processing containers including a first processing unit, in which the containers are processed in a first specified manner, a second processing unit, in which the containers are processed in a second specified manner which is different from the first manner, with the first processing unit and the second processing unit being kinematically rigidly coupled to one another, and with the second processing unit being located downstream of the first processing unit in the transport direction of the containers, wherein a specified number of containers is supplied to the first processing unit and the working speed of the system is reduced after the last container of this number has left the first processing unit and before the first container of the specified number has reached the second processing unit.
A system for processing containers, including a first processing unit in which the containers are processed in a first specified manner, a second processing unit in which the containers are processed in a second specified manner which is different from the first manner, with the first processing unit and the second processing unit being kinematically rigidly coupled to one another, and with the second processing unit being located downstream of the first processing unit in the transport direction of the containers, wherein the system includes a control device causing the supply of containers into the first processing unit to be interrupted at a first specified point in time (t1) and the working speed of the system to be reduced at a second point in time (t2) which is later than the first point in time, with the second point in time (t2) being selected such in relation to the first point in time (t1) that essentially no more containers will be processed in the first processing unit by the second point in time (t2).
