Abstract: An apparatus having a supporting surface (3) for containers (4) and a device for loading and unloading the containers (4) onto the supporting surface (3). The device has a component (11) for unloading the containers from the supporting surface and a drive unit (12) for facilitating movement of the component (11) relative to a supporting surface (3).

Abstract: For realizing short loading periods with a flexible transfer means (10) for a freeze drying plant comprising at least one freeze drying station (12) and at least one loading station (14,16), wherein said the transfer means (10) comprises at least one supporting frame (18) having a loading area (22) and an electrically operated laminar flow means (28) for producing a laminar air flow (30) in the loading area (22), said the transfer means (10) comprises a lifting carriage (16) which is adapted to be mechanically connected with said the supporting frame (18) for lifting and moving said the supporting frame (18) and comprises a drive motor and a steering means.

Abstract: A freeze-drying apparatus has a chamber (3) in which are located superposed charging plates (4) as well as loading and unloading equipment. The chamber has a loading aperture (2) equipped with closing doors (11, 12) through which the charging plates (4) are loaded. Equipment for loading the charging plates (4) with containers (5) is positioned in front of the loading aperture (2) and comprises a conveyor belt (6) which serves to supply the containers (5) and a transfer table (7) which is movable between an operating position and an idle position. The transfer table bridges a gap between conveyor belt (6) and the charging plate (4). A loading slider (8) provides push-wise transfer of a plurality of the containers (5) from the conveyor belt (6) via the transfer table (7) onto the charging plate (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (1) having at least one supporting surface (3) for containers (4) and having a device. This device serves to load or unload and comprises a part (11), which can be slid onto the supporting surface (3) and withdrawn therefrom and which has a drive (12) therefor. The drive (12) consists of at least one drive wheel (44, 45), an articulated system (42, 43) and of a winding system (46, 47) for the articulated system (42, 43). The drive wheel (44, 45) can rotate about an axis (40), which extends approximately perpendicular to the direction of motion of the part (11). The winding system (46, 47) is situated in the plane of the drive wheel (44, 45).
