ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for conveying a plurality of containers to a filling station for supplying the containers with paints or coatings. The conveyor is periodically driven to the filling station by a rotary actuator including a plurality of air motors which drive a pinion which in turn is connected to the drive shaft of the conveyor for moving the conveyor in one direction to the filling station. The conveyor drive shaft operates a cam which controls a valve in an air supply line for actuating a diverter valve which controls the supply of air to the rotary actuator. The conveyor is stopped when the cam closes the valve, this occurring when the containers reach the filling station. After the containers are filled, a solenoid is actuated through a timer to open a second air supply valve in a second air supply line which is used to actuate the diverter valve to drive the rotary actuator a distance sufficient to move the cam for opening the first supply line whereupon the conveyer continues to be driven to remove the filled containers from the processing station and to bring new containers to be filled to the processing station. The valve controlling the second air supply line is closed through a timing mechanism which in turn is controlled by a computer-controlled signal occurring when the containers are filled.
