Abstract: A palletising device including a lower surface which restingly receives a pallet, and an upper platform which is provided with a variably-configurable first support, cyclically between a closed configuration in which the first support supports a layer of products and an open configuration in which the layer of products is released downwardly; an intermediate platform between the lower surface and the upper platform, which move between a raised position and a lowered position and vice versa, comprising a variably-configurable second support which, maintain the second support in a closed configuration, thus forming a stack, and which release the stack of products towards the underlying lower surface in an open configuration.

Abstract: The supply group of a packing band from reels, with an automatic change of the reel, for an object-packing machine, comprises a supply track (13) along which the packing band runs to the zone of use(45) thereof, means for transversally cutting (14) the band (11) located at a start of the supply track, means (17A) for supporting a first reel (12A) of the band (11A) of slim packing material and means (17B) for supporting a second reel (12B) of band (11B) of slim packing material. The group comprises a first entry track (20A) of the first band (11A) from the first reel (12A) to the supply track (13), a second entrance track (20B) of the second band (11B) from the second reel (12B) to the supply track (13), first means for advancing (21A) for introducing or extracting the front end of the first band (11A) to or from the supply track (13), second means for advancing (21B) for introducing or extracting a front end (HB) of the second band (11B) into or from the supply track (13).
