ROW-FORMING PALETTISING APPARATUS

摘要

Packages are moved from an input conveyor in an input section onto moving rollers in a row-forming section. As the packages move forward on the rollers, a distributing device moves laterally with respect to the motion of the packages on the rollers so as to selectively position the packages in rows. Turning means are placed in the path of the packages as they advance on the rollers to rotate the packages with respect to one another. The rows collect on the rollers and are then moved to a stacking section where they are palletized. Transversely extending bars are provided to control the movement of the rows through the row forming section and the stacking section.
