Definitions
- This invention relates to a device for grouping together packages of a product, in particular for forming a group to be packed in a suitable container.
- the means for placing the packages in the grouping area usually comprise first means for feeding the placing means themselves lengthways to the inlet opening leading into the grouping area and second means that move the products transversally into the grouping area.
- prior art devices comprise first means for feeding the packages lengthways and second means for moving the packages transversally relative to each other by turning them through the same angle so that the lateral surfaces of the packages are positioned face to face and are oriented lengthways relative to the device.
- the pre-grouping means of prior art devices are also unduly complex and cumbersome.
- prior art devices also normally have a product supporting wheel with plates extending upwards from it to form compartments that accommodate respective packages. Once the group of packages has been formed, the plates must be withdrawn to allow the group to move downstream. Therefore, these prior art means for turning the packages in the grouping area are also unduly complex in terms of structure and operation.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment 10 of a device for grouping packages 11 of a respective product to form a group 13 to be packed in a suitable container, in particular, a container or carton in the form of a box-like container.
- a suitable container in particular, a container or carton in the form of a box-like container.
- the carton is not illustrated in detail in the drawings.
- the product is preferably a food product, especially a pasty food product such as processed cheese, stock cubes, butter, margarine and the like.
- the product might, however, also be a semiliquid food product or a solid food product such as mature cheese.
- the package 11 comprises a product wrapper, in particular a wrapper of aluminium foil, plastic film or other material suitably shaped and folded around the product.
- packages to be grouped are preferably shaped like the sectors of a circle. Packages with other shapes are, however, also imaginable.
- the device according to the invention is preferably installed at the end 9 of, or otherwise associated with, an apparatus for making the packages from the product in bulk form and from the wrapper in the form of a roll-fed web.
- the device according to the invention comprises means, labelled 12, for positioning the packages 11 at a grouping area 14.
- the device comprises first and second grouping means for forming respective groups 13, 13 of packages 11 positioned transversally in line with each other relative to the longitudinal line L along which the device extends.
- the means 12 for positioning the packages at the grouping area comprise package feed means 12 that move between a position A where they pick up the packages and a position 14 inside the grouping area where the packages are released or dispensed.
- the means 12 for feeding the packages to the grouping area move along a rectilinear, or straight, path, or trajectory T, that forms a virtual angle C with the longitudinal line L along which the device extends.
- the packages are placed in the grouping area by single feed means, which considerably simplify the structure and reduce the size of the device according to the invention.
- the means 12 for positioning the packages at the grouping area are designed to place a plurality of packages 12 in the grouping area simultaneously.
- the device extends along a longitudinal line L that may coincide with the direction in which the packages are fed by the devices upstream of the packaging apparatus with which the device according to the invention is associated and with the direction in which the groups are fed out towards the packing unit downstream of the device.
- the means 12 for positioning the packages at the grouping area 14 are designed to position a plurality of packages 11, 11 forming part of the group to be packed, in particular a first and a second package 11, 11, placed side by side with facing side walls 11a, 11b in contact or substantially in contact with each other.
- the means 12 for feeding the packages are designed to feed a plurality of packages 11, 11 simultaneously, and, in particular they simultaneously feed a first and a second package forming part of the group 13 to be packed.
- the package feed means 12 are designed to feed a plurality of packages 11, 11, where the packages are placed side by side with facing side walls 11a, 11b oriented at an angle C to the longitudinal line L along which the device extends.
