摘要

A unit is provided for transferring groups of rolls to be wrapped within a packaging film, from an intermediate station to subsequent stations. Pusher means are operated in time relation with the positioning of an ensemble formed by a group of rolls partially wrapped with the film in the intermediate station, so that the ensemble is pushed laterally and conveyed toward an outlet side of the intermediate station. A conveyor, having a horizontal active run coplanar with a surface for supporting the ensemble, is situated after the outlet of the intermediate station. The horizontal active run is operated in time relation with operation of the pusher, to move the ensemble from the intermediate station toward subsequent stations.
