ABSTRACT:
An automatic exchange device for format dependent cellular panels used in container-filling machines for filling containers with foodstuffs, flavorings or other liquid to pastiform products, the machines being arranged to pick-up and transport the containers whereby cellular panels are arranged adjacent to each other on a through-conveyor or periodically circulating conveyor and are corrected to the conveyor. A replacement mechanism for the cellular panels. The exchange of panels is effected with the assistance of a manipulator, which automatically detaches the connection with the assistance of a motor driven screw tool and also reattaches the connection after the exchange. After releasing the connection, the manipulator picks up the cellular panel by means of suction cups and removes it via the use of an elevator into a magazine, which, for example, is comprised of a drum with radially arranged partitions. However, before the cellular panel can be deposited in the drum, a new cellular panel must be taken out of the partition of the drum by means of a gripper. Subsequent to the interchange of positions of the cellular panels in the drum, the new cellular panel is carried to the manipulator by means of the elevator. The manipulator, then, picks up the cellular panel and places it in the container-filling machine. Here, the new cellular panel is screwed to the chains of the conveyor by means of the screw tool.
