  • Device for processing substantially parallelepiped -shaped products
    Patent number: 7073655
    Abstract: A device for processing packets of cigarettes has a transportation unit for conveying a line of packets from an input station to an output station in a direction perpendicular to the line; a conveyor unit for feeding the line to the input station in a direction parallel to the line; and a transfer unit for transferring the line from the conveyor unit to the transportation unit; the transfer unit has a first pusher for transferring the line from the conveyor unit to an intermediate conveyor which reduces the longitudinal speed of the line to zero, and a second pusher for transferring the line from the intermediate conveyor to the transportation unit.

  • Machine and method for producing a packet
    Publication number: 20040142804
    Abstract: A method and machine for producing a packet, whereby, as it is fed along a feed path, a substantially flat blank with preformed fold lines is extracted from the feed for transfer, crosswise to the feed path, to a stretch-folding station for stretching at least some of the fold lines, and is then fed back onto the feed path and allowed to spring back to its original flat shape.
