Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the needs described above may conflict with the fact that the machine is intended to work in an environment with a controlled atmosphere
This means that the assembly and disassembly of the machine components is usually carried out by the same people who monitor the machine's proper functioning, without the intervention of maintenance personnel outside the production department

Embodiment Construction

[0017] According to Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 10 designates a conveyor device according to the invention for forming a plurality of product groups. The device 10 includes a stationary base structure 12 ( FIG. 2 ) that supports a carriage 14 that is movable relative to the base structure 12 . In the example depicted in the figure, the carriage 14 is substantially disc-shaped and is rotatable relative to the stationary structure 12 about an axis of rotation 16 coincident with the main axis of symmetry of the carriage 14 . In a practical embodiment of the invention, the axis of rotation 16 extends horizontally.

[0018] The movable carriage 14 may have a different shape than that described and may provide a motion other than this circular motion. For example, the disc-shaped carriage 14 could be replaced by a flexible conveyor member such as a belt or chain closed in a loop along a generally shaped movement path.

[0019] Apparatus 10 includes a plurality of clamping u...

Abstract

A device for forming product groups, which includes a stationary base structure (12); a bracket (14) movable relative to the base structure (12); and a plurality of components supported by the movable bracket (14). Clamping units (18) which are movable from a position (26) for receiving the product (P) to a position (26) for releasing the product group (G), and which are capable of receiving in this receiving position (26) advancement in a given direction (22) products (P) and form a product group (G) including a predetermined number of products (P). The clamping units (18) can be selectively disassembled and reassembled independently of each other relative to the movable bracket (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a product group forming device, eg for an automatic packaging machine. Background technique [0002] The product conveying systems of automatic packaging plants are usually equipped with devices capable of subdividing the products advancing along the continuous row into groups of products which are fed to the packaging stations. [0003] The present invention has been developed with particular attention to the need to provide a device capable of receiving at a given position, for example, products advancing in substantially continuous rows so as to form a plurality of groups each comprising a predetermined number of products, and of The group is placed in the release position. For example, the means for forming groups of products can be positioned between a first conveyor for advancing the product along a continuous row and a second conveyor for moving the product from the The device in question receives successive groups of ...
