Transporting installation for containers, such as bottles, having a first transporting device, which can transport containers by neck-handling, and a second transporting device, which can transport containers by base-handling, wherein the first transporting device transports the containers at a different height from the second transporting device, wherein, in a transfer region in which the containers can be transferred from the first transporting device to the second transporting device, the second transporting device runs linearly and a linear guide device is provided, said guide device running parallel to the second transporting device and being adapted such that it can guide a container as the container is being lowered from the first transporting device to the second transporting device.
A transporting installation for containers, such as bottles, having a first transporting device, which can transport containers by neck-handling, and a second transporting device, which can transport containers by base-handling, wherein the first transporting device transports the containers at a different height from the second transporting device, wherein, in a transfer region in which the containers can be transferred from the first transporting device to the second transporting device, the second transporting device runs linearly and a linear guide device is provided, said guide device running parallel to the second transporting device and being adapted such that it can guide a container as the container is being lowered from the first transporting device to the second transporting device.
A method for transferring containers from a first transporting device to a second transporting device in a transfer region, wherein the first transporting device and the second transporting device transport the containers at different heights from one another, and the first transporting device transports the containers by neck-handling and the second transporting device transports the containers by base-handling, wherein the containers are transported linearly in the second transporting device and a linear guide device is provided which runs parallel to the second transporting device and guides a container during a lowering from the first transporting device to the second transporting device.
The method according to claim 101, wherein the second transporting device has a horizontal transport plane in the transfer region and the guide device comprises at least one receptacle which is movable in the transport direction of the containers in the second transporting device and by means of which a container is picked up from the first transporting device and transferred to the second transporting device, wherein the receptacle lowers the container from the first transporting device onto the second transporting device in the transfer region.
