ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for transferring empty blow molded containers with precisely timed and directed blasts of air to a trimmer. The transfer apparatus includes a first set of air nozzles for transferring multiple bottles at a time from a wheel discharge takeaway conveyor to an index bucket chain of a trimming machine. The containers are blown across a transfer bridge assembly and are prevented from rebounding out of the index bucket chain due to the construction of the bridge assembly and the use of a second set of air nozzles. The second set of air nozzles are located above a path of travel of the transferred containers and fire bursts of air directed downward and forward onto the containers on the transfer bridge and index bucket chain.
