Abstract
An apparatus for the automatic supply of the magazine of the feeder on a slotter/printer with a high production rate for making cases consisting of corrugated cardboard, comprising a device (3, 10, 4) intended for separating a bundle from the top of a stack of blanks (14) by placing this bundle upright on its edge, a retractable device (4) intended for causing the virtually vertical drop of this bundle, and a guide and receiving device (5, 7) making it possible to stop the bundle, still standing on its edge, a device (6) for squaring the bundle laterally after its drop, a device (27, 7, 8) for raising the bundle to a horizontal position, and a device (9) for receiving and discharging this bundle.
