A device is described for changing pallets in an automatic palletizer that arranges objects on the pallets. The object was to refine such a device in such a way that it not only minimizes the space occupied by the automatic palletizer, but also enables the length of interruptions in the palletizing process to be reduced. To solve this object, it is suggested to provide a transfer vehicle having a first pallet area for receiving a first pallet, and a second pallet area for receiving a second pallet, and a driving arrangement for moving the transfer vehicle between at least a first position and a second position, wherein when the transfer vehicle is in its first position the first pallet region of the transfer vehicle can be loaded with an empty pallet while the objects can be arranged on a pallet in the second pallet area.

Device and a method for switching pallets

Flat stacked articles such as envelopes or packaging bags, and packaging blanks are supplied to a packaging station toward one another in offset parallel directions and Then, the stack is moved into the packaging station in an intake direction transverse to the original transporting direction of the articles and, in the packaging station is set down in the packaging blank The stack is then packaged in the packaging blank in two processing positions of the packaging station whereupon the packaged stack is discharged from the packaging station in a discharge direction parallel to the intake direction and transverse to the original transporting direction of the articles The next respective packaging blank is fed to the first processing position in the direction over the packaged stack in the second processing position

Process and apparatus for packaging flat articles

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the handling of individual flat articles coming out of a production machine ( ). The articles may be particularly letter envelopes, which are assembled and, if needed further processed and packaged. The core of the invention resides in that initially a plurality of flat articles or letter envelopes ( ) are lifted as partial stacks ( ) and then are deposited at another location, and in that the partial stacks, during lifting and/or depositing (rearranging), are moved in such a way that the flat articles or letter envelopes ( ) are standing, following the deposition, on the same side or edge (b) as originally or on another side or edge (a).

Method and device in particular for packaging flat objects

A box folding and article packaging apparatus has a lower tool section positioned below a work support surface and several upper tool sections positioned above the work support surface. The lower tool section includes four modular corner units each with folding flaps and a fixed support element. The four support elements together define the work support surface. The four corner units are displaceable relative to each other for adapting the apparatus for handling blanks of different sizes. A precut and precreased blank is first placed on the work support surface. The article to be packaged is then placed on the blank whereupon folding begins. One upper tool section also includes folding elements for folding a cover portion of a box and closing the box. Another upper tool section includes either adhesive applicators or staplers or the like for fastening folded blank sections to one another to complete the carton around the article or articles.
