A sachet applicator machine has means for moving a connected sequence (10) of sachets (11) along a transport path. Adhesive in the form of a double-sided sticky tape (13) from a roll (12) is applied to the sachets at a first station (15), the position of the sachets is sensed at a second station (17) where the sachets are separated from each other. The separating paper of the sticky tape is diverted at (16) from the transport path before the second station (17). The separation of the sachets is controlled by means which sense the varying thickness of the sequence of sachets as they pass along the transport path. |
