Packaging System Adaptable to Various Container Perimeters

A method comprising:

• conveying a first stream of containers of a first perimeter along a path defined by a geometric center of each container;
• replacing a first star wheel, a metering screw, and a second star wheel of a first conveyor module with corresponding star wheels, and a metering screw of a second conveyor module;
• and
• conveying a second stream of containers of a second perimeter about the path defined by the geometric center of each container of the first stream of containers.

A system comprising:

• a first star wheel;
• a second star wheel;
• a first metering screw configured to be placed in line with the first start wheel and the second star wheel to move a plurality of first containers along a first travel path, wherein the first containers each have a first geometric center, and wherein the first travel path is defined by the geometric center of the first containers;
• a third star wheel configured to be interchangeable with the first star wheel;
• a fourth star wheel configured to be interchangeable with the second star wheel;
• and
• a second metering screw configured to be placed in line with the third star wheel and the fourth star wheel to move a plurality of second containers along a second travel path, wherein the second containers each have a second geometric center, and wherein the second travel path is defined by a geometric center of the first containers.
