ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for use with a vessel processing machine, such as a bottle labeler or delabeler is disclosed. The system includes a supply conveyor which feeds bottles in in-line, juxtaposed relationship to a vessel accelerating mechanism at a transfer station. At the station the speed of the vessels is accelerated and they are separated as they pass onto a delivery conveyor from which they are transferred to the processing machine. Processed bottles are returned to the delivery conveyor and transported to a decelerating mechanism at an exit transfer station. There the speed of the bottles is reduced and they are returned to juxtaposed, in-line relationship as they transfer to an exit conveyor for transport to an output for subsequent processing. The disclosure also includes a process for transporting bottles in-line and juxtaposed, accelerating the bottles into spaced relationship at speeds and spacing appropriate for supply to a processing machine, receiving processed bottles from the processing machine, transporting them to a decelerating mechanism where they are returned to their juxtaposed, in-line relationship and thereafter fed to an output end of an exit conveyor for further processing.
