Abstract
Cassettes incorporating at least one container are fed in succession by a first conveyor to a loading station of a machine equipped with channels along which loose banknotes are directed and formed into ordered stacks at outlets of the single channels; the stacks are picked up from each outlet singly and in succession by a clamp mounted to a column-like support and transferred cyclically toward the loading station, where empty cassettes are positioned by a mechanism comprising a shelf and a frame with the bottom of the open container parallel to a side face of the stack. On reaching the station, the clamp and column are maneuvered in such a way as to place the stack in the cassette with the edges of the notes resting against the bottom of the container.
