The present invention relates to a stacker module for a folder-gluer machine, the stacker module being located downstream of a transfer module in a direction of transportation of the folder-gluer machine and configured to receive folding boxes from a conveyor in the transfer module. The stacker module comprises a loading surface configured to receive a plurality of folding boxes in order to form a stack and to descend vertically as the number of folding boxes on the loading surface increases, and a linearly movable ejector configured to eject the stack from the loading surface. A front abutment guide configured to move between an abutment and a clearing position to retain and release the stack.

Stacker module for a converting machine

The present invention relates to a transfer module () for a folder-gluer machine (), the transfer module comprising a lower conveyor () and an upper conveyor () adapted to receive a folding box () therebetween and to transport the folding box in a direction of transportation (D) towards a downstream-located loading surface () in a stacker module. The upper conveyor () of the transfer module extends further in the direction of transportation than the lower conveyor () and the lower conveyor comprises a first conveyor belt () and second conveyor belt (), each having an inlet end () and an outlet end (), and wherein the outlet ends are displaceable in the direction of transportation.

The present invention relates to a stacker module () for a folder-gluer machine (). The stacker module comprises a loading surface () configured to receive a plurality of folding boxes and to descend vertically as the number of folding boxes on the loading surface increases, and a linearly movable ejector () configured to be moved from a retracted position (RP) to an extended position (DP). The stacker further comprises an upper guide (), configured to move between a clearing position (CP) which is vertically distant from the upper surface of the stack, and a guiding position (GP), in which the upper guide is located closer to the upper surface of the stack, and wherein the upper guide is in the guiding position when the ejector is moved from the retracted position to the evacuation position.
