Device for distributing products in roll

Abstract

Device for distributing products to feed lines, comprising: a plurality of outfeed channels () each configured for feeding a succession of products () along a first feed direction (D); the plurality of outfeed channels () is positioned at a first level (H); a plurality of infeed channels (), configured to receive single or lines of products () and feed products (), along a second feed direction (D); the plurality of infeed channels () is positioned at a higher second level (H), a plurality of pairs of carriages () defining corresponding housing pockets (); a track () configured in the form of a closed, ring-shaped path to define a lower operating section () and an upper operating section () and on which move the plurality of pairs of carriages () along a direction (D) transversal to the first (D) and second (D) feed directions; the track () is interposed between the plurality of outfeed channels () and the plurality of infeed channels () in such a way as to position along a lower operating section (), and in predetermined sequences, a first number of pairs of carriages () which can be faced towards corresponding outfeed channels () for picking up at least one corresponding product () and, along an upper operating section (), a second number of pairs of carriages () which can be faced towards the plurality of infeed channels () for releasing at least one corresponding product ().
