Abstract:
Described is unit for weighing containers (2) comprising a line (4) for transporting the containers (2) extending along a first path (P) which passes through a region (R1) for weighing and provided with a plurality of seats (5) for supporting the containers (2) arranged in succession along the first path (P); a plurality of elements (6) for vertical movement of the containers (2), each configured at the weighing region (R1) to make contact with and move vertically one of the containers (2) so as to place it in a raised position (PS1) disengaged from the corresponding supporting seat (5); a plurality of elements (7) for retaining the containers (2), each configured for retaining one of the containers (2) in the raised position (PS1); a plurality of weighing devices (8), each associated to, and carrying, a retaining element (7) for measuring the weight of a container (2) retained by the retaining element (7).
Abstract:
A pickup and delivery station for products includes a movement arm that is articulated with respect to a fixed frame and supports, at its free end, at least one respective grip component for a product. The free end of the arm includes at least one track for two carriages for supporting at least one respective shaft that supports the grip component. A linear actuator, which is substantially parallel to the direction of the track, is associated with one of the carriages for its movement along the track, from a configuration of separation from the other carriage to a configuration of proximity thereto. The shaft of a respective grip component is coupled to a second linear actuator that is perpendicular to the first one for the offset of the respective grip component with respect to the contiguous ones.
Abstract:
A cigarette packaging machine provided with a wrapping wheel to wrap products in wrapping sheets. The wrapping wheel has peripheral pockets to receive the products and the wrapping sheets, a first loading station to load the products in succession into the peripheral pockets, and a second loading station to load, in succession, first wrapping sheets of the wrapping sheets into the peripheral pockets. The wrapping wheel also has a third loading station to load, in succession, second wrapping sheets of the wrapping sheets into the peripheral pockets, thus reducing the bulk of a packaging machine.
Abstract:
A device (1) for packaging a product shaped as a set of cigarettes in a corresponding container (A), defining a package for housing the product, comprises means (11) for forming the container (A) and appropriate means (21, 21) to dispense a corresponding adhesive (B1, B2) for joining corresponding panels of the container. Said appropriate means (21) to dispense a corresponding adhesive are provided next to the exit from the forming means (11) and are movable with respect to said container (A).
Abstract:
A packet for smoke articles has an external enclosure (2) including a containing body (3) and a closing body (4) that is rotatable around a hinge (35) obtained on an external wall of said packet (1). The packet (1) includes closing elements (50) associated with main wall means (22, 23, 24) of the internal enclosure (2) for closing a base portion (6) and a top portion (7) of the packet (1). The external enclosure (2) further includes a secondary base wall (31) and a secondary top wall (11) connected to the main wall means (22, 23, 24) and arranged for abutting on and supporting said closing elements (50).
Abstract:
A packet (1) for smoking articles comprises an external casing, including a containing body (3) and a lid (4) rotatable around a hinge (5) made on a wall of the external casing, and an internal casing (18), slidable with respect to the external casing. In order to provide an ample surface available for communications to the consumer, advertising messages or similar, the external casing comprises a further wall (17) joined to the internal casing (18) so as to be distanced from the containing body (3) when the internal casing (18) is at least partially extracted from the external casing.
Abstract:
An electrochemical reactor comprises at least one electrolytic cell, each cell is divided by a membrane (12) into two electrode chambers (7, 8), each one is crossed by flows of liquid and each having at least a corresponding electrode (13, 14). Both the electrodes (13, 14) have one own face directly in contact with the membrane (12) and have a plurality of openings (21) for the passage of the liquid. Each electrode (13, 14) is provided with one or more contact means (15) for the power supply.
Abstract:
A suction gripping device includes a support arm and a head with at least one suction gripping element mounted translatably along the support arm. The head has an inlet and a channelling system to place the inlet and the gripping element in communication. The device further includes a manifold maintained in depression, a seal along a side of the device to maintain the inside of the manifold in depression, and a fluid distributor group interposed between the inlet in the head and the side and borne by the head so as to be slidable along the side. A spacer is provided for distancing and keeping a portion of the seal distanced from the side so as to maintain the channelling system in depression for activation in suction of the gripping element.
