Abstract: A machine for handling bottles includes first and a second conveyor belts to advance the bottles. The first conveyor belt has a first direction of advancement and the second conveyor belt has a second direction of advancement. The first and second directions of advancement are incident to each other. A deflector device connects the first and second conveyor belts, and includes outer and inner guide bodies to contain the bottles. The inner guide body includes a belt to advance the bottles. Conditioning elements change the configuration of the inner guide body varying its relative position with respect to the outer guide body and the radius of curvature of the advancing belt. The conditioning elements include an element pushing a respective element for tensioning the belt. The pushing element has adjustment elements to vary the thrust applied on the tensioning element and the curvature of the belt.
