Abstract
Above containers transported on a conveyor, the apparatus is provided with a continuous revolving belt, which has perforations. These are in communication via passageways with fixed fluid couplings and the drive to the belt is set so that they move in step with the containers along the conveyor path. Thus, by simple means, a connection is provided between the moving containers and the fixed fluid couplings, and the system is suitable for high conveying speeds.
