Vertical tubular bag machine for packing items

摘要

In order to allow stacks ( 137 ) of groups of items ( 123 ) placed one on top of the other, in particular comprising coffee pods, to be packed in tubular bags ( 16 ) by means of a vertical tubular bag machine ( 1 ), it is proposed either to adapt a filling pipe ( 6 ) to the horizontal dimensions of the groups of items ( 23 ) or to provide it with an insert ( 125 ) in order to stabilize the stack during its falling movement in the filling pipe ( 6 ). The insert ( 125 ) is similarly adapted to the geometry of the items in order to stabilize them during their fall in the filling pipe ( 6 ).
