Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automatic packaging machines, and particularly the invention refers to a wrapping machine for wrapping chocolates, candies, sweets and similar products having different shape with different wrapping style.
  • the known wrapping machines are provided with mobile or fixed folding members, which allow to carry out a single predefined wrapping style. It is possible to carry out a different wrapper, still belonging to the same wrapper typology, only by suitably replacing and/or modifying the folding members. Usually, said known machines do not allow to carry out wrappers belonging to other wrapping styles. Typically a machine fit for carry out double twist wrappers can carry out, after changes, a single twist wrapper, but it is not able to carry out an envelope portfolio or a bunch wrapper.
  • the main drawback of said known machines consists in the production rigidity that is in the restricted selection of wrapping styles, which can be carried out.
  • the main drawback of said machines consists in that such flexibility is possible only during the production phase of the machine since the modules, once assembled to the machine, can not be disassembled and replaced in reasonable times, precluding the flexibility and versatility of the machine, once the latter is working at the production plant.
  • the main drawback of such machines is the position of the feeding group, which makes more difficult the access to the machine maintenance points positioned at the opposite sides with respect to said feeding group and preclude an operator to control at the same time two wrapping machines, parallely positioned.
  • wrapping machines for chocolates or similar products having a flat base, provided with of feeding groups including one or more storage belt, parallely positioned with respect to the wrapping material flow of the machine.
  • the aligned products in mutual contact due to the push of the queue, are moved to the picking zone, in which a pusher insert, one by one, the products into a feeding disk or into a positioning wheel, in order to rotate of 90° the products and to position them with the correct orientation at the following working station.
  • the main drawback of said feeding groups consists in that for high motion speeds the products tend to slip on the storage belt, causing an idle turn of the wrapping machine with consequent production and efficiency decrease.
  • Object of the present invention is to propose a wrapping machine for wrapping chocolates or similar, which is fit to carry out completely different wrapping styles, allowing to pass in an easy and quick way from a wrapping style to others, without changes or difficult adjustment operations of the folding members.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a machine, which can be integrated with a plurality of different feeding groups of known type, different groups according to the product to be wrapped, to their speed and to the wrapping style to perform on the product.
  • Further object is to propose a machine, which can have different configurations of the product outlet, in such way to satisfy the different plant demands of final user.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a wrapping machine provided with a feeding group which can operate at very high speeds, guaranteeing both a regular and reliable operation, without blockages, jams and product feeding lacks, and a delicate handling and/or moving of the product preserving it from damages.
