<p>A method of balancing the output of two lines of a packing system, wherein the two lines (2) extend through at least two machines (4, 5), at least one of which is a two-line machine, along two respective paths (3) to produce and form respective articles (8) into groups (7), and to pack the groups (7); the method including slowing down the articles (8), on each line (2), at at least one control station (19) to form a continuous queue (22) of contiguous articles (8); measuring the length of each queue (22); and maintaining the lengths of both queues (22) and the difference between the lengths of the two queues (22) within a first and a second given variation range respectively. <IMAGE></p> |
