Abstract
Ampuls are processed through a plurality of workstations successively arranged along a path in an ampul processing machine. At one station, an anti-jammer device is operative for preventing ampuls being guided through a continuously converging infeed chute from jamming and blocking the path. An intermittently-driven chain conveyor advances ampuls along the path during advancement time periods in which the ampuls are conveyed from one station to the next, and maintains the conveyed ampuls within their respective stations for processing, i.e., filling or sealing, the ampuls during dwell time periods which alternate with the advancement time periods. At another station, a movable infeed shuttle is operative for feeding ampuls to the chain conveyor during each dwell time period. At still another station, a movable outfeed shuttle is operative for discharging ampuls from the chain conveyor during each dwell time period. The anti-jammer device, the infeed shuttle and the outfeed shuttle all serve to improve the ampul handling capacity of the ampul processing machine.
