A DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FEEDING CHARGES OF NON-HOMOGENEOUS INFUSION MATERIAL TO A PACKAGING MACHINE.

摘要

A device for feeding charges of non-homogeneous infusion material to a packaging machine comprises metering means 4 for the charges 2 and transfer means 5 for the charges 2 which are positioned downstream of the metering means 4 and which feed the charges 2 to the packaging machine 3. The transfer means 5 comprise charge 2 adjustment means 7 equipped with a drum 14 which is rotatable about its own axis A and at least one roller 15 which is rotatable about its own axis B and which is located upstream of the drum 14. The drum 14 comprises a chamber 22 for receiving the charge 2 from the roller 15. During adjustment of the charge 2, the chamber 22 is variable between a maximum value coinciding with the receiving step and a minimum value when the charge 2 has been adjusted.
