Winding device for winding an envelope (A) around a product (B) defined by a group of articles shaped as elongated elements, the winding device comprising winding means (10) for winding said envelope (A) around said product (B);
- wherein said winding device comprises:
- supplying means (20) adapted to supply said product (B) and said envelope (A), together, to said winding means (10), said supplying means (20) having seats (201) for supporting the product (B) and/or the envelope (A) and means (202) for supporting and advancing said seats (201), supplying means (11) for supplying the envelope (A), which are adapted to arrange said envelope (A) on the corresponding supplying means (20) by bending the envelope (A) around the product (B), or the respective supporting seat (201), said supplying means (11) comprising a shaped seat (111) for engaging the envelope (A), in a plane condition, operating means (112) adapted to move said shaped seat (111) between a position for taking the envelope (A) and a position for passing the envelope (A) to the supplying means (20) and a pushing device (117) passing through a hollow bottom of the shaped seat (111) and configured for moving between a retracted position and an advanced position for engaging the envelope (A) onto the seat (201) of the supplying means (20).
A method for winding an envelope (A) around a product (B) defined by a group of articles shaped as elongated elements, the method comprising winding said envelope (A) around said product (B) by winding means (10);
- wherein the method comprises:
- supplying said product (B) and said envelope (A), together, to said winding means (10) by supplying means (20) having seats (201) which support the product (B) and/or the envelope (A) and means (202) which support and advance said seats (201),
- supplying the envelope (A) by arranging said envelope (A) on the corresponding supplying means (20) by bending the envelope (A) around the product (B), or the respective supporting seat (201),
- wherein supplying the envelope (A) comprises engaging the envelope (A) by a shaped seat (111), in a plane condition, moving said shaped seat (111) between a position for taking the envelope (A) and a position for passing the envelope (A) to the supplying means (20) by operating means (112) and engaging the envelope (A) onto the seat (201) of the supplying means (20) by a pushing device (117) passing through a hollow bottom of the shaped seat (111) and moving between a retracted position and an advanced position for engaging the envelope (A) onto the seat (201) of the supplying means (20).
