摘要

Equipment and method for the formation of groups (25) of products (3) to be fed orderly at predetermined intervals to a processing machine comprising a first conveyor (8), a second conveyor (4) positioned on the inlet of the processing machine having pockets (5) for the housing of the products (3) arranged at predetermined intervals, a transfer device (10) having clamping units (11) mobile in phase relation with the conveyors (8,4) for removing the products (3) from the first conveyor (8) and transferring them into a pocket (5) of the second conveyor (4) and positioning them in groups (25), under the action of appropriate control means (15) shaped in such a way as to control the differentiated release of at least two products (3) into the same pocket (5) of the second conveyor (4), in shifted positions one with respect to the other which are reached in sequence by a corresponding clamping unit (11) of an even position and by a clamping unit (11) of an uneven position, until the completion of the group (25) of products (3). <IMAGE>
