WRAPPING MACHINE FOR CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTS

摘要

A wrapping machine for food products comprises a feed station (7) for feeding a series of products (2) which are fed in a predetermined direction (D), a transfer drum (25) for transferring the products (2) from the feed station (7) to a loading station (17) of a wrapping device (8) for wrapping the products (2), in particular the transfer drum (25) comprises a transfer roller (26) rotating about its own axis (26a) of rotation which is transversal to the direction (D) of feed of the orderly series of products (2); the transfer roller (26) comprises at least one pickup unit (27) for picking up the products (2) having a first and a second axis of rotation (29a, 34); the first axis of rotation (29a) being transversal to the axis (26a) of rotation of the transfer roller (26) and positioned along a direction which is substantially radial relative to the transfer roller (26); the second axis of rotation (34) being positioned along a direction which is orthogonal relative to the first axis of rotation (29a); in this way the products (2) conveyed from the feed station (7) to the loading station (17) by the respective pickup unit (27) rotate about the axis (26a) of rotation of the transfer roller (26) and simultaneously about the first and the second axes of rotation (29a, 34) of the pickup unit (27).
