Abstract
A method for automatic packaging of sanitary articles (A) in at least one first type of package (I) and one second type of package (II) containing, respectively, a first number of articles and a second number of articles, envisages: providing a flow of incoming articles (A); diverting (10) articles from said flow of articles with a ratio between non-deflected articles and deflected articles that is a function of the ratio between the aforesaid first number and the aforesaid second number, generating a main flow of non-deflected articles (A) that may be packaged in the packages of the first type (I) and a derived flow of deflected articles that may be packaged in the packages of the second type (II).
Claims21
A method of automatically packaging sanitary articles in packages of at least a first and a second type containing a first and a second number of articles, respectively, the method comprising:
- providing an input flow of said articles,
- diverting articles from said input flow with a ratio of non-diverted articles to the diverted articles which is a function of the ratio of said first number to said second number, by generating a main flow of non-diverted articles to be packaged in the packages of said first type and a derivative flow of diverted articles for packaging into the packages of said second type.
A system for automatically packaging sanitary articles in packages of at least a first and a second type including a first and a second number of articles, respectively, the system comprising:
- a first packaging station to package said articles in said first type of packages,
- a second packaging station to package said articles in said second type of packages, and
- a diverter unit configured to divert articles from an input flow of articles with a ratio of the non-diverted articles to the diverted articles which is a function of the ratio of said first number to said second number, by generating a main flow of non-diverted articles to the first packaging station and a derivative flow of diverted articles to the second packaging station.
A system for automatically packaging sanitary articles in packages of at least a first and a second type including a first and a second number of articles, respectively, the system including:
- a first packaging station to package said articles in said first type of packages,
- a second packaging station to package said articles in said second type of packages, and
- a means for diverting articles from an input flow of articles with a ratio of non-diverted articles to the diverted articles which is a function of the ratio of said first number to said second number, by generating a main flow of non-diverted articles to the first packaging station and a derivative flow of diverted articles to the second packaging station.
