VERTICAL CARTON LOADING PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR CLIPS OF A STACKED SHEET MATERIAL

摘要

A system and process for packaging sheet materials is disclosed. In particular, the system and process of the present invention is configured to receive clips of a sheet material (10) and to load the clips into a dispenser (12) . During the process, the clips can be folded and loaded into vertical buckets (44) that are positioned over a stream of moving dispensers (12) . A vertical pushing device (50) then pushes the clip from the vertical buckets (44) down into the dispensers (12) . In this manner, the dispensers are loaded from the top. Since the dispensers are loaded from the top, the system is capable of placing clips of a material (10) into dispensers having a complex configuration, such as dispensers having curved side walls.
