  • Patent number: 11884429
    Abstract: The machine for packaging groups of products in a wrapping sheet, includes a device for spreading a wrapping sheet and a handling device, adapted to reciprocally move a group of products to be packaged and the wrapping sheet, so as to wrap the wrapping sheet around the group of products as a result of the reciprocal movement between the wrapping sheet and group of products. The machine further includes temporary support members adapted to support flaps of the wrapping sheet protruding with respect to the group of products during a step of reciprocal movement between the group of products to be packaged and the wrapping sheet.

  • Patent number: 11584555
    Abstract: The packaging machine includes a wrapping tunnel, adapted to form a tube of plastic film around a group of articles and a feed conveyor, adapted to feed articles to be packaged toward the wrapping tunnel. An elevator is positioned between the feed conveyor and the wrapping tunnel, and is movable vertically from a lower position, to receive articles coming from the feed conveyor, to a higher height, to transfer articles to the wrapping tunnel. A pusher is arranged to push articles to be packaged from the elevator into the wrapping tunnel. An auxiliary conveyor is also provided between the feed conveyor and the elevator. An upender is associated with the auxiliary conveyor, adapted to be arranged selectively in an active position, to co-act with the auxiliary conveyor to upend articles coming from the feed conveyor and transfer them toward the elevator, and in a deactivated position.

  • Patent number: 11505349
    Abstract: The wrapping machine includes a feed path of products to be wrapped in a wrapping sheet and, along the feed path, an insertion station of products to be wrapped in a wrapping sheet and folding members of the wrapping sheet. The machine further includes a conveyor device, which receives the products in the insertion station and causes their feed through the folding members. The conveyor device includes a system of endless flexible members formed by toothed belts guided around toothed wheels. Each toothed belt includes a first series of internal teeth, cooperating with toothed guide wheels, and a second series of external teeth, cooperating with connection elements of carriages that carry prongs for feeding the products to be wrapped. The connection elements include toothed profiles complementary to the external teeth of the toothed belts, suitable to provide a shape coupling with the external teeth of the respective toothed belts.

  • Patent number: 11279506
    Abstract: The wrapping machine includes a feed path of products to be wrapped in a wrapping sheet. An insertion station of products to be wrapped in a wrapping sheet, and folding members of the wrapping sheet are arranged along the feed path. A conveyor device receives the products in the insertion station and causes their feed through the folding members. The conveyor device includes a system of endless flexible members that define a closed trajectory along which carriages move. The machine also includes a magazine of carriages associated with the system of flexible members and manipulators adapted to pick up carriages from the magazine and attach them to the system of flexible members, and to pick up carriages from the system of flexible members and place them in the magazine.
