Abstract:
Described is an apparatus for conveying a product, such as articles of the tissue sector in the form of rolls or packages. The apparatus includes a unit for supporting corresponding unit for conveying the product, in particular following a respective path between a respective upstream end and a respective downstream end; More specifically, the conveying unit have one or a plurality of conveyor belts, especially of the type with links articulated to each other, preferably through corresponding articulation pins; the apparatus has a plurality of separate modules, each of which is designed to define a respective conveying section or stretch or longitudinal extension of the apparatus, the respective modules can be associated with each other and include a plurality of component units of the conveying section or stretch which are in a pre-assembled condition with each other.
Abstract:
A processing plant, in particular for making respective products, in particular defined by articles or packages of respective articles, the articles being preferably in the form of articles of the tissue industry, the plant including at least one unit for detecting products, in particular defective products, especially defective articles and/or packages, preferably for detecting defective rolls and/or packs.
Abstract:
Described is an apparatus for conveying articles towards corresponding points of use and preferably located between an upstream machine for making rolls, in particular in the form of a saw machine for cutting rolls from a respective tube or elongate log, and at least corresponding first and second conveyers moving the articles towards corresponding downstream points of use or packaging machines. The apparatus includes a supporting frame for a conveyor which receives the articles from the machine which makes the articles and for a movable conveyor passing the articles respectively at least to first or second conveyors for conveying them downstream. The apparatus has a conveyor receiving the articles and includes a transporting unit engaging the articles at an off-centre lower zone laterally opposite the lateral engagement zone where the articles are engaged by the lateral supporting conveyor of the upstream machine which makes the articles, or saw machine.
Abstract:
An apparatus for packaging articles to provide a corresponding package in the form of a secondary package, such as a bag, for example in plastic or paper film, a box, for example in cardboard or plastic material, and/or in the form of a tertiary package, such as a palletized load, includes a device for supplying said articles, a device for preparing a respective group of articles to be packaged, and a device for using the respective group of articles to be packaged, including a device for packaging the same group of articles to be packaged. The apparatus includes a plurality of independent, or discrete, modules, for the treatment of said articles, which treatment modules, are associated, in a sequential manner, or in succession, to one another to define the same apparatus, especially to provide for the packaging of the same articles, through the preparation of corresponding groups of articles.
Abstract:
A unit for the control or management of articles includes a plant including an operating line including an upstream section for making the articles, including a log saw for cutting rolls off elongate logs, a packaging section including a packing section where the articles or rolls are packed, and a bagging section where the packs are placed in bags and/or a palletizing section where the packs or bags are placed on pallets. A conveying section transports products between the upstream section and the packaging section and/or between one packaging section and another downstream. A process controller controls the functioning of the plant sections. The unit includes a device for detecting and/or lighting a face of the product or pack and which is adapted to produce different images of the face, to exhibit different states of reflection of the light that is incident upon the face.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the treatment of articles such as rolls made of paper material, and/or packets, packs, envelopes, bags, pallets or boxes, or another type of packaging. The apparatus includes a feeding device for feeding the articles, at least one unit for treating the articles, a transferring device for transferring the articles from the feeding device to the treatment unit, and an arranging device able to arrange the articles in respective groups of articles, each group including one or more articles arranged according to a respective and desired configuration of utilization by the treatment unit. In the apparatus, the arranging device is defined by the transferring device.
