Abstract: A device for positioning an article (2) to be wrapped by a machine has a horizontal support body (3) centrally fixed on a vertical rotation shaft (4). The device (1) is equipped with at a least one plier device (5) connected, to turn together with the rotation shaft, to support the body (3), the plier device provided with at least two jaws (6,7). An opening apparatus (8) is connected to at least one of the jaws (6,7) to hold and to release the article (2). The at least one plier device (5) is connected to the support body (3) by a respective rotation device (9) for rotating the at least one plier device (5) and of the article held thereby, around an axis almost radial in respect to the support body (3).

Abstract: A unit for preparing groups (1) of products in layers (S) for palletizing comprises: a motor-driven element (4) for controlled pick up and release of the groups (1) of products from the first surface (3) to a second surface (5), positioned by the side of the first surface (3), for preparing a layer (S) of groups (1) of products; a logic unit (7) for controlling and programming the pick up and release element (4) and the second surface (5) to obtain individual layers (S) made up of two or more groups (1) of products on the second surface (5) by moving them along or around axes, transversal (Y) to the extension of the first surface (3), parallel (X) with the extension of the first surface (3), at a vertical height (Z) and according to an angle (?) of rotation about the vertical axis (Z); the pick up and release element (4) having independent drive units (9, 10, 11) designed to control the element (4) according to three of the controlled axes (X, Y, Z, ?); the second preparation surface (5) having a drive unit (

Abstract: A machine for wrapping ovate articles (P) comprises at least a conveyor mean (2), elongated and positioned horizontally in an operation condition, for the articles (P). The machine (1) comprises also a feeding wheel (25) with rotation axis perpendicular to the conveyor mean (2) and fit to feed this latter with the articles (P) roughly rolled up in wrapping sheet.

Abstract: An outlet device for chocolates and like products (100) for use with a wrapping machine (50) which has a device (51) for moving each product (100). The outlet device has a first belt (2) for moving products (100) to be rolled, which is operated by an actuator (10), through a first connecting device (5), which connects the first belt (2) to the actuator (10), moving the first belt in a first direction (A) in accordance with the rotary motion of the actuator (10). A rolling device (4) faces the first belt (2) and is used for rolling products (100) moved by the first belt. A second belt (3) moves products (100) which do not require rolling, the second belt also operated by the actuator (10), through a second connecting device (6), the second belt rotated in a second direction (B) also in accordance with rotation of the actuator (10).

Abstract: A feeding device of chocolates and similar products for a wrapping machine includes: a first belt means which has a continuous advance motion, supports and moves a plurality of products, aligned and arranged in a single line at mutual contact; a second belt means aligned downstream the first belt means, having an alternate advance motion and associated to holding means of the product; a positioning wheel rotating, facing the second belt means immediately downstream the holding means and having a plurality of angularly equidistant pliers means for gripping the product.

Abstract: A wrapping machine for wrapping chocolates and similar products (100) with a wrapping material (101), includes an unwinding and cutting group (6) and a feeding group (10), fit for feeding an elevator group (5) respectively with a portion of the wrapping material (101) and a respective product (100). Said associated wrapping material portion (101) and respective product (100), are provided from said elevator group (5) to a wrapping head (2) to mate a folding group (3) wrapping the product before the transfer of the wrapped product to an outlet group (7). The wrapping head (2) has at least eight gripper means (4) for the product (100) associated to the wrapping material portion (101); such gripper means (4) being radially and angularly equidistant. The folding group (3) includes a plurality of folding modules, at least first (31), second (32) and third (33), positioned around the wrapping head (2) and fit to fold the wrapping material portion (101) around the product (100).

Abstract: A feeding device of chocolates and similar products (100) for a wrapping machine includes: a first belt means (13), which has a continuous advance motion, supports and moves a plurality of products (100), aligned and arranged in a single line at mutual contact; a second belt means (14) aligned downstream the first belt means (13), having an alternate advance motion and associated to holding means (15) of the product (100); a positioning wheel (9) rotating, facing the second belt means (14) immediately downstream the holding means (15) and having a plurality of angularly equidistant pliers means (11) for gripping the product (100).
