PACKAGING MACHINE AND METHOD OF PACKAGING PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B65B5/02 B65B5/06 B65B21/22 

FIELD: packaging industry.

SUBSTANCE: system comprises the first and second conveyors for moving objects, forming the first and second streams, the first means for gripping one or more objects from the first conveyor and transferring them in a direction substantially transverse to the direction and placement of objects in the adjacent point on the second conveyor. Both the first and/or the second conveyors are continuously moving. At that the system additionally comprises the third conveyor for moving objects, forming the third stream, and the second means for gripping objects from the third conveyor and their movement between the second and the third conveyors. The method of packaging comprises movement of the objects on the first conveyor to form the first stream, gripping the objects from the first stream and transferring the gripped objects in a direction substantially transverse to the direction in which the flow moves. Then the objects are placed in the adjacent point on the second conveyor and moved to form the second stream, while at least one of these two streams is in continuous motion, and the objects are moved on the third conveyor to form the third stream, the objects are gripped from the third conveyor and transferred to the second conveyor.

EFFECT: increased productivity, reduced size and diversification.
