Abstract
An apparatus for the production of packs (10), especially cigarette packs. In the manufacture of packs (10) by a packaging machine, it may be desirable, for several reasons, to separate individual predetermined packs out of the feed flow and to supply them for suitable use. This involves, in particular, faulty packs (23) which are gripped by an outward-transfer wheel (26) in the region of a separating-out assembly and are transferred to a separate pack conveyor (45).
