ABSTRACT:
Containers containing a mixture of acceptable and unacceptable bottles are conveyed to a removal station in the path of movement of a carrier head that has at least one group of gripping elements that are adapted to selectively grip and remove acceptable bottles and at least another group of gripping elements that are adapted to grip and remove unacceptable bottles. In one implementation, the carrier head picks up the acceptable bottles from incoming containers and simultaneously picks up unacceptable bottles from containers from which acceptable bottles have been removed and transfers the respective groups of bottles to individual outfeed conveyors. In another implementation containers holding a mixture of acceptable an unacceptable bottles are conveyed to the removal station on a conveyor having a loop so acceptable bottles are removed from a container at the removal station and the same container containing the remainder of unacceptable bottles goes around the loop and comes back to the removal station in synchronism with infeed containers that contain a mixture of bottles so once the system gets started the gripper carrying head can remove acceptable and unacceptable bottles from adjacent containers with a single traverse by the carrier head.
