ABSTRACT:
The system described herein constitutes an apparatus and method for internally treating glass containers as they are moving from the forming machine on the single-line conveyor to the entrance to the annealing lehr. A preferably refrigerated enclosure or housing positioned beside the path of travel of the containers is provided with a supply of sulfur pellets, with the pellets being delivered to a gating device, which also constitutes a propulsion device, for feeding or ejecting a pair of pellets from the gating device through an elongated tube whose outlet is positioned above and in alignment with the line of movement of the necks of the containers to be treated. The gating device is activated or triggered by a sensing device mounted to the conveyor in position to view the containers as they are moved by the conveyor. When a bottle is sensed, the ejector mechanism or gating device is actuated by moving a slide with a reciprocating motor to automatically position pellets in position to be propelled through a delivery tube into the interior of the sensed container. In this manner the interior alkaline surface of the container is neutralized by the gas produced when the pellet is " fired" from the heat of the containers.
