A unit for applying opening devices on packages of pourable food products, comprises a first conveying device to feed the opening devices along a first path, a second conveying device to feed the packages along a second path, a third conveying device movable about a first axis to displace the opening devices along a third path from a withdrawal station to an application station of the opening devices, a gripping member for gripping an opening device, and a supporting plate to support the gripping member; wherein the supporting plate is coupled to the third conveying device; the gripping member is displaceable, at the application station in a defined plane by a first direction transversal to the first axis and to the second path, and by the first axis.

Unit for the application of opening devices on packages of food products pourable into a tube of packaging material

A gluing unit for applying adhesive to a succession of opening devices to be fitted to respective sealed packages of food products pourable into a tube of packaging material, the unit having a conveyor for feeding the opening devices along a path, and an adhesive dispenser located along the path, interacting with each opening device to apply adhesive to a portion of the opening device, and movable in a plane parallel to the path as well as crosswise to the plane.

Gluing unit for applying adhesive to a succession of opening devices for gluing to sealed packages of food products pourable into a tube of packaging material

A modular unit for applying opening devices to packages of pourable food products includes a first conveyor for feeding the opening devices successively along a first path, a second conveyor for feeding the packages successively along a second path, a transfer mechanism for transferring the opening devices along a third path from a pickup station located along the first path, to an application station for applying the opening devices to respective packages and located along the second path, and a processing device for performing specific operations on the opening devices prior to application of the opening devices to the respective packages. The transfer mechanism defines a base module of the unit, and the processing device includes different types of processing devices forming part of different auxiliary modules selectively connectable to the base module to define different units for applying the opening devices to respective packages.

Modular unit for applying opening devices to packages of pourable food products

There is described a sequencing unit () operating along a feed path (A) of a succession of opening devices () for attachment to respective sealed packages of pourable food products; the unit has: push means () interacting at a predetermined rate with the succession of opening devices () to feed them along the path (A); and locating means () interacting with the opening devices () and of variable configuration to maintain opening devices () with different geometric characteristics in a predetermined position with respect to the push means ().

Sequencing unit for opening devices to be glued to sealed packages of pourable food products

A unit (') for applying opening devices (&#x2032;) to packages () of pourable food products, the unit (&#x2032;) having first conveying means (&#x2032;) for feeding the opening devices (&#x2032;) successively along a first path (P, P&#x2032;); second conveying means () for feeding the packages () successively along a second path (P); and transfer means () for transferring the opening devices (&#x2032;) from the first path (P, P&#x2032;) to the second path (P), and in turn having a wheel () rotating about an axis (A), and a number of gripping members (&#x2032;) carried by the wheel () and for receiving respective opening devices (&#x2032;) from the first conveying means (&#x2032;) and transferring them to the second path (P) by rotation of the wheel (); the transfer means () also having connecting means () for connecting the gripping members (&#x2032;) movably to the wheel (), and cam guide means () for altering the position of each gripping member (&#x2032;) with respect to the wheel () as the wheel () rotates.
