Abstract
A packaging machine for simultaneously producing cigarette packs in two parallel production tracks. Each track comprises a cigarette magazine, a feeding conveyor, a folding turret, a drying turret and a discharge conveyor which feeds a transverse path common to both tracks. The turrets and conveyors of each track are mounted on opposite sides of a supporting stand with the magazines and conveyors being transversely offset relative the mid-plane of the machine so that the cigarettes of the two tracks are always arranged, fed and discharged in the same orientation of the cigarettes.
