Abstract: A device for transporting objects having a first conveyor and a second conveyor which are guided via a coiled or spiraling conveyor line at least regionally parallel and at a horizontal distance to one another. The device contains a transfer unit, which can be moved in the gap between the conveyors with the aid of a travel drive, for transferring objects between the first and the second conveyor. The transfer unit supports a third conveyor, which can be driven via a conveyor drive independently of the first and second conveyors.

Abstract: Empty bottle cases that are to have filled and capped bottles inserted in them and cases filled with returned bottles are simultaneously fed to the machine on individual conveyor belts. Filled and capped bottles are fed to the machine on another individual conveyor belt and still another conveyor belt conducts the empty returned bottles away. A plurality of bottle handling heads on which there are bottle grippers are driven along a predetermined path for gripping bottles in a sequence that involves removing returned contaminated bottles from cases on one conveyor belt and transferring the bottles to another conveyor belt for discharge from the machine while at the same time, capped bottles come in on a conveyor belt and are picked up by a head and transferred to another conveyor belt where they are inserted into the empty cases that are moving on a conveyor belt.
