Abstract
An evacuation and closure device in linear construction can be docked to a conveyor device for bottles. A closure stopper supply device is used to supply closure stoppers for the bottles. The device provides a combined closure stopper and evacuation unit for each bottle. The closure stopper and evacuation units are combined into a closure stopper and evacuation module. The closure stopper and evacuation module is fastened to one of three carriers that can be moved in three movement axes (X, Y, Z) in relation to one another. The movement is carried out by means of freely programmable drive mechanisms. Because of its construction, the evacuation and closure device according to the invention can be simply and flexibly adapted to various types of filling machines.
