<p>The cartoning device (3) for inserting ordered groups of products (4), such as rows of tea-bags, into cartons (2) has a carton feed line (5) consisting of a single set of pick-up and transfer devices, (belt,(23), rollers (24), and mobile gripper elements (25)) capable of holding a number of cartons, e.g. three, and operating between a carton reception station (6) and a carton filling station (7). A transfer line (10) is designed to allow the e.g. vertical transfer of the filled cartons from filling station (7) to a post-filling station (11), positioned below and to one side of the feed line. A conveyor line (8) transfers the cartons (2) from the post-filling station (11) to the carton ejection station (9) which is located at the same end of the cartoning device (3) as the reception station (6). The carton pick-up and transfer devices (23 - 25) move with the discontinuous movements, the magnitude of which are determined by the see of the carton and on how may rows of products (4) are required to fill it.</p> |
