Abstract
A container conveying installation comprises a forward conveyor and a backward conveyor the downstream and upstream ends of which are connected by a container transfer device for conveying containers is opposite directions. Plural loading conveyors on which containers receive predetermined objects extend along one of the forward and backward conveyors. To shorten the route of the containers and to prevent obstructions on the forward and backward conveyors upstream of saturated loading conveyors, plural devices located between the loading conveyors can transfer containers from the forward conveyor to the backward conveyor. Similarly, plural devices located between the ends of the loading conveyors can transfer containers from the backward conveyor to the forward conveyor.
