Method and apparatus for supplying empty-bag group

摘要

A method and apparatus for supplying empty-bag group including a belt conveyor (2) which conveys empty bags manufactured by a bag-making machine, a slide conveyor (6) which conveys empty bags (1) that are supplied from the belt conveyor at a specified pitch with the bag bottoms facing forward and which releases these bags from the front end of slide conveyor (6), and a stacking conveyor (7) which receives the empty bags that are released from the slide conveyor; the front end position of the slide conveyor (6) being movable and caused to move toward the bag mouths intermittently by a specified distance at a time at the above-described pitch, resulting in that an empty-bag group in which empty bags (1) are stacked with the upper empty bags being successively shifted toward the bag mouths by a specified distance at a time is formed on the stacking conveyor.
