ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a rotating transport apparatus for transporting objects from a first conveyor to a second conveyor, each conveyor having a longitudinal extending central axis. The apparatus includes a swivel arm with an axis, and a rotary plate rotatably mounted on the swivel arm axis, extending at least partially to the first and second conveyors. A drive is provided for rotating the rotary plate. Carriers are rotatably mounted beneath the rotary plate, in regular intervals along the periphery of the rotary plate. The carriers have gripper and a carrier axis for counter rotation for consecutively gripping the object, conveyed by the first conveyor. The objects are transported to a second conveyor, and placed on the second conveyor without altering the orientation of the object with respect to the first conveyor. The operating radius between the center of the rotary plate and the carriers is variable.
