Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for feeding cigarette packets (3) out of a packing machine, where the packets (3), being substantially in the shape of parallelepipeds, are moved forward with their large lateral faces (4) in contact with each other along a first path (P1) by a conveyor (2) that stabilises them in a defined direction (D) transversal to the large lateral faces (4). Downstream of the stabilising conveyor (2), there is a unit (33) for printing on the packets (3). Comprising a spacing conveyor (11, 19, 43) that separates the packets (3) from each other and feeds them along a second path (P2) along which there is a printing device (32) located at a printing position (35) on a section (T) of the second path (P2) and designed to print a preset sequence of characters and codes on defined portions of the faces of the packets (3), the action of the printing device (32) being controlled by a probe (36) that detects the presence of each packet (3) and by a control unit (37) connected to a sensor (38) that detects the instantaneous position of the spacing conveyor (11, 19, 43) relative to the packets (3) in order to synchronise the packets (3) with the motion of the conveyor (11, 19, 43).
