Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0528772A1] The process for automatically feeding a conveyor (6) with stacks (1) of blanks (2) taken directly from respective bowl containers (3) includes clamping a stack (1) of blanks (2) by pickup means (14), at a picking up station (9). After having ripped the leading wall of the container (3), the stack (1) is transferred to a station (10) where the blanks (2) are released behind a row (11) of blanks previously fed to the conveyor, while the container (3) is kept at the picking up station (9). At the release station (10) the front jaw (15a) of the pickup means (14) is moved forward so as to allow the blanks to partially slant forward, and then a pressure is applied on the stack (1) of blanks (2) in synchrony with the pickup means (14) being opened, so as to complete the tipping of the blanks (2). At the picking-up station (9) the container (3) already emptied is lastly pushed aside. <IMAGE>
