System and method for ordering elements, specifically for packaging

An element ordering system, comprising:

• (a) a source with a plurality of elements, wherein the elements are randomly arranged;
• (b) a plurality of output lines, wherein the output lines are associated to the source with the plurality of elements;
• (c) a synchronising station comprising a plurality of synchronising channels,
• wherein each of the output lines can be associated to one or more of the synchronising channels,
• wherein the synchronising channels comprise a plurality of synchronised transport means configured to support and move a first group of elements from the plurality of elements, wherein the plurality of synchronised transport means comprises mutually independent corresponding motorising means;
• and
• (d) a processing unit configured to start up and perform the timing of a plurality of functions of the source with plurality of elements, and configured to start up and perform the timing of said plurality of output lines and said synchronising station,
• wherein said processing unit comprises a synchronising module configured to independently send to each motorising means, one from among:
• i. a setting signal of a predefined velocity;
• and
• ii. a stop signal.

An element ordering method, comprising:

• (a) providing a source with a plurality of elements, wherein the elements are randomly arranged;
• (b) providing a plurality of output lines, wherein the output lines are associated to the source with the plurality of elements;
• (c) providing a plurality of synchronising channels, wherein each of the output lines can be associated to one or more of the synchronising channels,
• wherein the synchronising channels comprise a plurality of synchronised transport means configured to support and move a first group of elements from the plurality of elements, wherein the plurality of synchronised transport means comprises mutually independent corresponding motorising means;
• and
• (d) synchronising the plurality of transport means by sending independently to each corresponding motorising means, one of:
• i. a setting signal of a predefined velocity;
• and
• ii. a stop signal.
