摘要

The apparatus (100) for arranging stickpacks in a vertical configuration comprises: a conveyor means (1) for receiving, resting on the initial portion (11), a series of stickpacks (ST) unloaded from the exit (U) of the packaging machine (MC), parallel to one another with the longitudinal axis thereof transversal to the conveyor means (1) and in a horizontal configuration, and for transporting the stickpacks (ST) to a dwell position (W) situated laterally to the packaging machine (MC); a rotation device (2) of the stickpacks (ST) arranged laterally to the conveyor means (1) at the dwell position (W), for receiving the stickpacks and for rotating them to arrange them vertically; a pick-up and release group (3) of the stickpacks (ST), for picking up a series of stickpacks (ST) from the dwell position (W) and releasing the stickpacks at the rotation device (2).
