Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus comprising at least one transportation line that connects the exit point of a first machine with the entry point of a second machine, and the exit point of the second machine with the entry point of the first machine, the drive being provided by the said machines either directly or through means connected thereto. The transportation line is so constructed that if the first machine should slow down or come temporarily to a halt, a gradual decrease occurs in the length of the section that runs, filled with products, from the first to the second machine and, contemporaneously, the length of the section of the said line that runs, devoid of products, from the second to the first machine, increases. Should, instead, the second machine slow down or come temporarily to a halt, a gradual decrease occurs in the length of the section that runs, devoid of products, from the second to the first machine and, contemporaneously, the length of the section that runs, filled with products, from the first to the second machine, increases.
