  • the insertion means comprise an insertion element (not shown), which is destined to be inserted between the first group 3 of smoking articles and the second group 4 of smoking articles, to favour the arrangement of the sixth panel 27’ (and optionally the seventh panel 28’) between the first group 3 of smoking articles and the second group 4 of smoking articles.
  • the insertion element is a movable element, which is inserted between the first group 3 and the second group 4 of smoking articles and which is distanced therefrom.
  • the insertion element could be shaped, for example, as a wedge element: being inserted between the first group 3 and the second group 4 of smoking articles, keeping them distanced, so as to favour the insertion therebetween of the sixth panel 27’ and the seventh panel 28’, for example, driven by the first arm 70 and the second arm 71 of the folding group.
  • the insertion element could be a planar element (for example, a lamella).
  • the first wrapping drum 6 supports twelve wrapping pockets 60 (the number of the wrapping pockets 60 can vary), which are arranged at the periphery of the wrapping drum 6.
  • the first wrapping drum 6 is arranged in a substantially vertical plane, in other words, the first wrapping drum 6 rotates about a horizontal axis.
  • the wrapping pocket 60 is defined by a C-shaped housing.
  • the wrapping pocket 60 comprises a bottom wall 61 and two side walls 62, which rise from the bottom wall 61.
  • the first panel 22’ is arranged in contact with the bottom wall 61 and the second panel 23’ and the third panel 24 are arranged in contact with the side walls 62: such foldings of the blank T are obtained by pushing the blank T inside the wrapping pocket 60.
  • the first transferring station ST1 and the second transferring station ST2 are preferably arranged one after the other (figure 14).
  • the first transferring station ST1 and the second transferring station ST2 can coincide; in other words, the first group 3 and the second group 4 are fed simultaneously at one same transferring station.
  • the second wrapping drum 8 supports twelve wrapping pockets 80 (the number of the wrapping pockets 80 can vary), which are arranged at the periphery of the second wrapping drum 8.
  • the second wrapping drum 8 is arranged in a substantially vertical drum, in other words, the second wrapping drum 8 rotates about a horizontal axis.
  • the first wrapping drum 6 rotates clockwise, defining the first conveying path
  • the second wrapping drum 8 rotates anti-clockwise, defining the second conveying path. It is understood that the first wrapping drum 6 could rotate anti-clockwise and the second wrapping drum 8 could rotate clockwise.
  • the wrapping pocket 80 of the second wrapping drum 8 is defined by a C-shaped housing.
  • the wrapping pocket 80 comprises a bottom wall 81 and two side walls 82, which rise from the bottom wall 81.
  • the rear panel 53’ is arranged in contact with the bottom wall 81 of the wrapping pocket 80 and the container 2 is arranged thereupon.
  • the wrapping pocket 60 of the first wrapping drum 6 can be shaped to allow a mutual rotation of the first group 3 and the second group 4 of smoking articles about a hinge line parallel to the developments of the first group 3 and the second group 4 and passing therebetween; such conformation of the wrapping pocket 60 allows the insertion of the sixth panel 27’ (and optionally the seventh panel 28’), to be favoured between the first group 3 and the second group 4 of smoking articles.
  • the bottom wall 61 of the wrapping pocket 60 can be defined by two parts hinged to each other.
  • the machine 100 can comprise suction means, which act at the wrapping pocket 60 of the first wrapping drum 6, in order to hold the blank T destined to define the container 2 and the blank 5’ destined to define the wrapping 5.
  • the machine 100 can comprise further suction means, which act at the wrapping pocket 80 of the second wrapping drum 8.
