Abstract
A module (M) for a machine (100) for processing flat objects having a support structure (1, 2, 3, 4) above which the flat objects are transported along a given transport path. The module includes a discharge system for such objects, the discharge system is capable of discharging any flat object which falls below the transport path.
Claims9
A packaging folder/gluer machine configured to produce packaging by processing flat objects, the machine comprising a feeder, a succession of modules, each module of the succession of modules configured to carry out at least one folding or gluing operation, and a delivery module, a module of the succession of modules comprising:
- a support structure above which the flat objects are transported and processed along a given transport and processing path by a transport device for transporting the flat objects above the support structure;
- and
- a discharge system for the flat objects configured to discharge a falling flat object which leaves the transport and processing path and falls below the transport and processing path,
- wherein the discharge system comprises a deviation device configured to deviate a fall of the falling flat object from above the support structure and toward a dedicated recovery zone;
- and
- wherein the deviation device comprises:
- at least a first deflection member positioned and configured to deviate the fall of the falling flat object when the falling flat object arrives above the support structure portion,
- wherein the first deflection member is positioned in an inclined manner above at least a part of the support structure;
- and
- air holes configured to move the fallen flat object by conveying air to the first deflection member.
