Abstract: A conveying device for testing and reprocessing objects (25) processed by a processing station (27), especially labelled objects (25), as for example ampoules, containers or syringes. A conveyor device conveys objects (25) to be processed in a continual, uniform motion through the processing station (27). The objects (25) are held therein in pickups (23). A feeding device (33) leads the objects individually toward the conveying device (21). A checking station (31) examines the processing result. A control stops, in case of determining an insufficiently processed, for example not labelled objects (25b), the feeding device (33) and gradually brakes the conveying device (21). The control then reverses the direction of movement of the conveying device (21) until the insufficiently processed object (21b) has reached again the processing station (27).

Abstract: For the metered filling of bulk material, especially liquids, into receptacles, especially glass receptacles, there is provided a filling station to which a conveying device leads the receptacles, which are to be filled, individually or in groups. A weighing device determines before the start of the filling operation the tare of the receptacles which are to be filled, and blocks the feeding of bulk material when a specified gross weight has been reached. The conveying device moves the receptacles preferably by means of worm conveyers which are lifted off the receptacles during the weighing and filling operation.

Abstract: An apparatus for filling and sealing ampules has a support disc rotatable about an upright axis and provided along its outer edge with a succession of seats formed by rollers. Ampules are pressed into these seats by an endless belt spanned around the disc, or by a plurality of pressing wheels. The pressing wheels or the belt are driven so that the ampules are rotated in place in their seats during the filling and sealing operations. A tool carrier, which is pivotal about the axis of rotation of the support disc, angularly oscillates back and forth over a limited arc and the tools carried on this carrier are displaced at the same angular speed as the continuously displaced ampules so that they act on the ampules as they move in the forward direction, then return and act on the next ampule or group of ampules. These tools can be filling or sealing units.
