摘要:
An apparatus for orderly transferring into packaging containers (11) "pasta" of nest-shaped type (12) arranged on supporting racks (13), in which apparatus a base framework (10) is provided with a first receiving area suitable for receiving the racks (13), with said racks being provided with a set of container seats (14) wherein each of said seats (14) is suitable for containing a prefixed number of "pasta" nests equal to the number of nests which should be charged to one single packaging container (11), a second area for receiving said packaging containers and a drawing/transfer means (22) suitable for drawing and transferring a number of "pasta" nests contained inside one of said container seats from one of said racks (13) into one of said containers (11). The drawing/transfer means comprises a nest-sucking head (27) which can be reciprocated by means of suitable actuator means in a "to" stroke from a first position above some seats of the rack, in which position it draws a prefixed number of "pasta" nests, to a second position above one or more packaging container(s), in which second position said drawing/transfer head releases the "pasta" nests, and in a "fro" stroke in which said, by now empty, head returns back to its first position.
