Abstract: A temporary storage system (1) of belt type for lightweight hollow bodies (C), said system being particularly suitable for use with empty plastic containers (C) and of the type comprising a storage buffer vessel (2) provided with a feed entry opening (3) in its upper part and a discharge exit (4) in its lower part, said exit (4) being situated above conveyor means (5) for removal from the buffer vessel (2), said system comprising at least one movable storage belt (6a, 6b, 6c) positioned substantially horizontally in the interior of said buffer vessel (2), said storage belt (6a, 6b, 6c) being arranged to receive a falling plurality of desired volumes (D) of said hollow bodies (C), while advancing during the fall of said hollow bodies (C) by a distance sufficient to maintain said volumes (D) separate, said volumes (D) being made to advance towards the discharge exit (4) and allowed to fall onto the removal conveyor means (5) when said stored hollow bodies (C) are required to be withdrawn.

Abstract: A palletiser (1) of objects (100) comprising: a mobile loading trolley (10) provided with a plurality of corridors (11) defined by a pair of sides (12); supporting conveyor means of said objects (100) comprising an advancing plane (2), having a first portion (2a) outside the trolley (10) and a second portion (2b) inside the trolley (10), said advancing plane (2) making the objects (100) advance along the corridors (11); an additional plane (6) coplanar to said advancing plane (2) on which the compacting of the objects to be picked up by a mobile transfer head (20) takes place, where the two sides (12) of each pair of sides (12) are mobile between a separated position, in which they do not interfere with the advancing of the objects (100) in the corridor (11) and a close together position with said objects (100) in between that are compacted, the picking up of the objects (100) by the mobile transfer head (20) being carried out when the trolley (10) is positioned over said additional plane (6).
