Abstract
A system whereby products are fed in orderly succession by a feed conveyor to the input conveyor of a machine for packing the products in pillow pack type wrappings; and whereby the products are transferred between the mutually aligned feed and input conveyors by means of at least one transportation head rotatable about its axis and which is moved by a hypocyclic drive along a substantially quadrilateral path, one side of which is aligned with, and extends along facing end portions of, the two conveyors.
