Machine for packaging fibre material

摘要

A machine for packaging fibre material comprises feed means (2) supplying predetermined portions of fibre material (3) in an ordered succession, compacting means (4) by which the portions of fibre material (3) are compacted initially, a feed station (8) to which packs (9) are supplied for filling with the fibre material (3), a filling station (D) at which the fibre material (3) is inserted into the packs (9), and a closure station (E) located downstream of the filling station (D), at which the filled packs (9) are sealed. The machine further comprises fibre material (3) compressing and forming means (7) by which each of the portions of fibre material (3) is maintained in a state of compression downstream of the compacting means (4) for a prescribed interval of time, in such a way that the selfsame portion of fibre material (3) is caused to assume a compact geometry of tablet-like form prior to its insertion into the respective pack (9).
