Abstract:
A machine for making single use capsules (1) for extract or infusion beverages includes: a transport element (8) for transporting rigid containers (2) and being closed in a loop around movement apparatus (9); a feeding station (11) for feeding the rigid containers (2) into respective pockets (10) of the transport element (8); a dosing station (12) for dosing the product into the rigid container (2); a closing station (13) for closing the rigid container (2) with a piece of sheet (7); an outfeed station (14). The closing station (13) includes a unit (500) for preparing and feeding single pieces of sealing sheet (7) correlated with the shape of the upper aperture (4) of the rigid container (2); transfer apparatus (17) by which individual pieces of sealing sheet (7) are withdrawn sequentially and continuously from the preparing and feeding unit (500) and by which the selfsame pieces (7) are transported and delivered to a sealing wheel (19) adapted to seal the piece of sealing sheet (7) to the rigid container (2).
Abstract:
An assembly for the sorted conveyance of substantially plate-like products, the assembly includes a stroke limiting shoulder, downstream of at least one supply line, a first pusher having a lateral surface that faces and is proximate to the stroke limiting shoulder, and at least one second pusher, which is adjacent to the other pusher. The pushers are substantially perpendicular to the advancement direction of the products and are independently movable from a first configuration, in which the respective end face faces and is proximate to the edge of the at least one supply line, to a second configuration, in which the end face faces and is proximate to the edge of the exit channel, surmounting the respective supply line. The exit channel includes consecutive receptacles for accommodating clusters of products.
Abstract:
A packaging machine (1) for forming packets (3) of smoking articles (2), in particular cigarettes, comprises movement means for moving groups of smoking articles at least partially wrapped by an inner wrapping sheet (4), along a movement direction, a wrapping wheel (13) to receive the groups of smoking articles wrapped by the inner wrapping sheet (4) and to move them along a substantially circular wrapping path (P), and transfer means (22) to transfer the groups of smoking articles wrapped by the inner wrapping sheet (4) from the movement means to the wrapping wheel. The transfer means (22) transfer the groups of smoking articles wrapped by the inner wrapping sheet (4) along a transfer direction (T) radial with respect to the wrapping path (P), in order to reduce the bulk of the packaging machine (1).
Abstract:
A device (1) is described herein for supplying rough-shaped sheets, made especially of cardboard, for making a corresponding package for housing respective cigarettes or the like. The device comprises means (11) for supporting and conveying sheets (A) along a respective path, which comprise first and second means (111, 112) that still-retain respective ends (A1, A2) of the sheet (A) along the advancement path.
Abstract:
A device for introducing sleeves into cases for compact discs and the like, includes an assembly for withdrawing each time a single sleeve from a storage device. The withdrawing assembly transfer the sleeves to a feeding surface, substantially horizontal, in the region of a line for feeding these sleeves to further processing devices. An inserting head with gripping means for keeping the sleeve fed to the feeding surface, and with folding rollers for folding two edges of the sleeve over fold-around pieces, takes over and inserts the sleeve into an underlying case. The inserting head is moved between a sleeves gripping position and a position in which it inserts the sleeve in the case, that is in open configuration on a conveyor.
