Abstract (en)
[origin: US4841714A] The method for ordering a coherent packaging line is characterized in that prior to cutting the coherent packaging line into product portions, the latter are arranged in loop form, so that the loop apexes formed can be used for manipulation purposes. It is used for storage in transportable large units or for intermediate buffer storage during the packaging process. The apparatus is characterized by a conveying means with receptacles for positioning the loop apexes and at least one collecting device cooperating with the conveying means and having at least one gripper receiving the packaging line from the packaging machine and used for the formation of loop apexes, the collecting device being able to perform a collecting stroke enabling the packaging line received from the gripper to be transferred to a receptacle on the conveying means.
