    摘要: A packing method and unit to pack articles (1), in particular straws, wherein the following steps are provided: moving, by means of a first conveyor (16), first seats (18), each designed to house an article (1), along a first path (PI) and with a first moving speed (VI); moving, by means of a second conveyor (21), second seats (23), each designed to house an article (1), along a second path (P2) and with a second moving speed (V2); and cyclically transferring an article (1) from a first seat (18) to a second seat (23) in a transfer station (S5) where the two paths (PI, P2) face one another. In case of normal operation during which no articles (1) to be rejected are involved, the first moving speed (VI) is functionally equal to the second moving speed (V2), so that, within a same time frame, the same number of first and second seats (18, 23) pass through the transfer station (S5). On the other hand, in case of at least one article (1) to be rejected in a first seat (18), the second moving speed (V2) is functionally decreased relative to the first moving speed (VI) so that, within a same exchange time interval, in which one single second seat (23) passes through the transfer station (S5), two first seats (18), one of which containing the article (1) to be rejected, pass through the transfer station (S5).

    摘要: A rigid packet (1) of smoking articles (2) and method for manufacturing the same, wherein the packet (1) comprises: a group of articles (2); a first rigid container (3) containing the group of articles (2) and comprising an extraction opening (30) for extracting the articles (2); a resealable label (4) which is fixed to the first container (3) and movable between an open position (A), in which access to the articles (2) is allowed, and a closed position (B), in which it closes the extraction opening (30) preventing the access to the articles (2); a second rigid container (6) which comprises a containing portion (60), containing the first container (3) and comprising an opening (61) from which the first container (3) protrudes, and a lid (62) which is hinged to the containing portion (60) and is movable to open and close the opening (61). The first container (3) is made of a multilayer material comprising a first layer (3a) which is internal and which is made of a paper material and a second layer (3b) which is made of aluminium and the packet (1) comprises a flavoured wrap (5), which is arranged in the first container (3) and which partially wraps the group of smoking articles (2) so as not to be visible from the extraction opening (30) of the first container (3), when the label (4) is in the open position (A).
