Abstract

A system supplies a boxing machine with articles picked up from an article feeding line, situated upstream of said machine, and aimed at being introduced into corresponding boxes carried by a respective box conveying line of the same machine. In the supplying system, two sets of compartments are arranged along a close-loop path extending between the article feeding line and the box conveying line, and the sets of compartments are mutually distanced according to dynamically variable values and driven by two operating groups, associated respectively to the sets of compartments to cause independent forward movement of each set of compartments along the path, according to dynamically variable parameters. Control means drive the operating groups alternately in accordance with the motion mode of the article feeding line, when the sets of compartments are in a loading station and in accordance with the box conveying line motion mode, when the sets of compartments are in the introduction station and must be synchronized with the box conveying line.
