ENVELOPE-STUFFING MACHINE FOR STUFFING PILES OF ARTICLES IN SHEET FORM

摘要

A stuffing machine (1) for stuffing piles (2) of sheet articles, comprising: a first conveyor (11) for moving piles (2) of sheet articles in a first advancement direction (A1); a second conveyor (12) arranged downstream of the first conveyor (11) with respect to the first advancement direction (A1), which second conveyor (12) is angularly arranged with respect to the first conveyor (11); a third conveyor (13) arranged downstream of the first conveyor (11) with respect to the first advancement direction (A1), which third conveyor (13) is aligned with the first conveyor (11), is extensible in a second advancement direction (A2) opposite the first advancement direction (A1), such as to assume an operating configuration (O) in which it passes over the second conveyor (12) and defines, with the first conveyor (11), a first conveying pathway (P1) and is retractable in a same direction as the first advancing direction (A1) in order to assume an inactive configuration (I) which enables the first conveyor (11) and the second conveyor (12) to define a second conveying pathway (P2); a first stuffing unit (3) positionable along the first conveying pathway (P1) for stuffing the piles (2) of sheet articles; a second stuffing unit (4) positionable along the second conveying pathway (P2) for stuffing the piles (2) of sheet articles.

主权项

1) A stuffing machine for stuffing piles of sheet articles, comprising:
a first conveyor for moving piles of sheet articles in a first advancement direction; a second conveyor arranged downstream of the first conveyor with respect to the first advancement direction, which second conveyor is angularly arranged with respect to the first conveyor; a third conveyor arranged downstream of the first conveyor with respect to the first advancement direction, which third conveyor is aligned with the first conveyor, is extensible in a second advancement direction opposite the first advancement direction, such as to assume an operating configuration in which it passes above the second conveyor and defines, with the first conveyor, a first conveying pathway and is retractable in a same direction as the first advancing direction in order to assume an inactive configuration which enables the first conveyor and the second conveyor to define a second conveying pathway; a first stuffing unit positionable along the first conveying pathway for stuffing the piles of sheet articles; a second stuffing unit positionable along the second conveying pathway for stuffing the piles of sheet articles.
