Abstract: The machine comprises a conveyor provided with compartments for accommodating individual products and closed in a loop to receive on one portion the products arriving from a conveyor and to transfer them onto the other portion to a pick-up means. A speed reduction unit is arranged at the first portion of the compartmented conveyor and moves at the same speed as the conveyor in order to receive the incoming products and transfer them, while slowing them, into a respective compartment of the conveyor. The conveyor is constituted by a toothed belt that detachably supports the compartments. The machine also comprises electronic means for optimizing the movement of the conveyor by correlating it with the incoming rate of the products.

Abstract: Heat-sealing device including mutually opposite active heads that are associated with respective counter-rotating driving shafts and are subjected to the action of cam elements that move the heads along a path that is partially parallel to a continuous tubular container that includes the products to be packaged. The oppositely arranged active heads, during the rotation of the respective counter-rotating driving shafts, move mutually closer to clamp the tubular container in the region that separates one product from the other and to perform the heat-sealing of that region and the cutting of the container that separates each package from the adjacent one.

Abstract: The conveyor comprises a plurality of main conveyance units with respective conveyor belts that move in a main conveyance direction and at least one sorting unit which is interposed between two main conveyance units and is provided with an auxiliary belt and with a sorting belt. Each one of the main conveyance units comprises a frame, for supporting the respective conveyor belt, which is supported so that it is cantilevered from one side of the base structure to allow to extract and install the belt, after loosening it, at the other side of the base structure; the sorting units are provided with castors and can slide out with respect to the main units by means of a movement at right angles to the main conveyance direction.

Abstract: The machine includes an actuation chain which is closed in a loop and is provided with a plurality of seats which perform a corresponding closed path, moving from a side for loading individual products to a side for unloading rows of products. A swinging conveyor is arranged at the loading side and, in the row unloading pauses and during the movement thereof, moves in a stepwise manner and aligns with the individual seats in order to deposit therein the continuously fed products.

Abstract: The apparatus evens up articles arriving on a flow smoothing belt (12) and leaving on a downstream belt (26) for feeding a wrapping machine, and provided with equidistant ledges (28) separating groups of articles, and with at least one corrector belt (16, 18), driven by a variable-speed motor (20, 22) for transferral of the articles to the downstream belt.
