Movement and distribution assembly, particularly for products to be packaged

Abstract

A movement and distribution assembly (1), particularly for products to be packaged, comprising means (2) for moving products (3) to be wrapped by means of a film, along a feed line (4) of an apparatus that is functionally associated with a dispenser of the film for wrapping the products (3). At least the end portion of the feed line (4) is constituted by at least two end parts (5a, 5b) that are substantially functionally parallel and lead to respective compartments of the apparatus for providing the final configuration of the wrapping of the products (3). Each of the end parts (5a, 5b) comprises at least one launcher (6) for organizing the flow of products (3) according to preset sequences, on each of the end parts (5a, 5b).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a movement and dispensing assembly especially for products to be packaged. Background technique [0002] Within the field of automated machines there are many machines capable of packaging products, suitable for very different technical problems and formats. [0003] In particular, various automated machines are known which offer the possibility of wrapping a predetermined number of webs etc. by means of films of polymer material. The result obtained is therefore a package in which the rolls are arranged generally in rows and optionally in multiple layers, forming the configuration offered to the end customer in a shop or shopping centre. [0004] These machines are provided with a first series of feeder / metering devices which are fed by a conveyor belt which receives rolls from suitable buffer storage units and sends them to a first pulling device. This sending takes place according to a preset sequence, the movement means a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The attendant danger is that groups of rolls can become untidy, causing numerous problems for subsequent packaging

[0011] Moreover, again due to the discontinuity of transport caused by the transition between the first and the second pulling means, the reel supplied by the first means is stopped by the friction on the sliding surface of the second means, waiting for such a second Arrival of the rod of the second device; when such a rod arrives, a strong impact occurs on the bottom of the reel, which is now stationary, thus causing the group of reels to break

[0012] Finally, it should be noted that there are two different types of pulling devices, which have to use various components different from each other, which inevitably creates considerable administrative and logistical cost problems
