Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
METHOD AND GUIDE SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSPORT OF CONTAINERS OR CONTAINER COMPONENTS IN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS FOR CONTAINER PRODUCTION AND/OR PRODUCT FILLING
The invention relates to a method and guide system for the transport of containers or container components, in particular, preforms and/or closure caps, in industrial systems for container production and/or product filling, wherein the containers/container components are transported along at least one guide element. By generating an air cushion between the guide element and the containers/container components by flowing through a microporous layer formed on the guide element, even container components which are lightweight and/or do not slide well can be reliably slidingly transported along the guide elements, and containers can be reliably supplied to dividing worms or similar using dynamic pressure.
