Patent number: 9643744Abstract: A method for packing tubes or cans is proposed which arrive continuously from a production line and are taken over by a transport unit by means of a grouping unit. The transport unit transports the tubes or cans in a desired formation into a retaining hoop of a strapping unit, wherein the retaining hoop is able to grip the formation in a pincer-like movement, whereupon the formation is strapped using a plastic band and transported further. The transport is achieved by means of two spike plates which are used alternately.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: TEXA AGInventor: Gottlieb Benz

Publication number: 20100138041Abstract: A device for taking over, temporarily storing and passing on elongated, hollow-cylindrical product units, preferably tubes, sleeves or cans, which come from a production line, has a first supplying conveyor belt and a continuously delivering second conveyor belt. The first and the second conveyor belts are disposed horizontally lying one above the other in a transfer zone. An intermediate storage arrangement is designed as a high-rack storage arrangement or as a paternoster storage arrangement. At least one handling robot is also located in the region of the transfer zone between the conveyor belts and the intermediate storage arrangement. This handling robot is designed either (a) to take a number of product units from the first conveyor belt and to feed them to the second conveyor belt or the intermediate storage arrangement, or (b) to remove a number of product units from the intermediate storage arrangement and to feed them to the second conveyor belt.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2009Publication date: June 3, 2010Applicant: TEXA AGInventors: Gottlieb Benz, Albertus Robbertson

Patent number: 7308779Abstract: Tubes (T), coming from a production line, are supplied by means of a grouping unit (1). The grouping unit comprises a conveyor belt (10), with product holders (11) and the tubes are supplied in groups by means of a stepping motor (12). A slider (13) pushes the tubes (T) into the correct position on a mandrel support (20) of a packaging unit (2). The mandrel support (20) comprises a plate (21), which may be moved back and forth by means of a piston/cylinder unit (22) and which may be pivoted from the horizontal holding position into the vertical dispensing position. The tubes are pushed onto mandrels (25) which are mounted on the plate (21), by means of the slider (13), The tubes are thus held in exact alignment and can be filled into the carton (B) without a relative displacement or tilting of the tubes.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2004Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Texa AGInventor: Gottlieb Benz
