Method and device for the formation of stacks comprising an exact number of articles

摘要

Method and device for the formation of stacks comprising an exact number of articles, preferably nappies, sanitary towels, etc., which are pushed out onto a delivery table from a moving conveying device by means of ejection cylinders. The gentle ejection of the articles in a counted amount onto the delivery table is guaranteed in every operating situation; this is carried out by an ejection cylinder which pushes from the inside to the outside through between the divided conveying device. During the forward and return stroke, the cylinder, which is mounted on a parallel guide, is driven by a clutch/brake combination and moved synchronously in the running direction of the conveying device and then guided back by a separate drive. <IMAGE>
