Abstract
The module (3) comprises a frame having vertical pillars (30A, 30B), a rotary turnover structure (4) arranged horizontally between the vertical pillars and comprising rotation shafts (400A) supported by bearings (300A) with which the vertical pillars are respectively equipped. A motor (303B) applies a first mechanical torque to one of the rotation shafts when a folding package turnover is ordered in the machine. The module also comprises additional means (5) for applying a second mechanical torque to the other rotation shaft upon a folding package turnover.
Claims9
A module for turning over folding packages that can be incorporated in a folding package production line, comprising:
- a frame having first and second vertical pillars;
- and
- a rotary turnover structure arranged horizontally between the vertical pillars, the rotary turnover structure comprising:
- first and second rotation shafts supported by first and second bearings with which the first and second vertical pillars are respectively equipped;
- a first motor for applying a first mechanical torque to the first rotation shaft;
- additional means for applying a second mechanical torque to the second rotation shaft;
- at least one double-belt conveyor arranged vertically and comprising a horizontal pinching plane in an intermediate zone, the at least one double-belt conveyor being configured to transport and hold the folding packages between high and low belts of the at least one double-belt conveyor;
- and
- a mechanism for driving the high and low belts,
- wherein the mechanism for driving the high and low belts is actuated by a motive driving pulley, actuated in rotation by a second motor,
- the mechanism includes pulleys and transmission rods,
- the motive driving pulley transmits the rotation to the pulleys,
- the pulleys transmit the rotation to the transmission rods,
- the transmission rods extend horizontally along the rotary turnover structure in a direction from the first vertical pillar to the second vertical pillar, and
- the transmission rods transmit the rotation to belt driving drums of the at least one double-belt conveyor for each of the high and low belts.
