Abstract (en)
A grouping station (100) receives rows (11) of plastic beakers (1) inserted one into another, coming from a rim making machine (2). The rows (11) of beakers (1) are subdivided into groups (10), that are moved to a packing station situated downstream thereof and including a main packing machine (30) and an additional packing machine (31). The grouping station (100) includes a rotary displacement device (5), that sends the rows (11) to a first counting-separating device (60) during regular operation. The first counting-separating device (60) is connected with the main packing machine (30). When a jam occurs, the rotary displacement device (5) sends the rows (11) to a second counting-separating device (80) that is connected with the additional packing machine (31). Each one of the counting-separating device (60,80) includes a disc (13) formed by adjacent sectors twisted along their radial axes like fan paddles. The disc separates from a row (11) a number of beakers necessary to form a predetermined group (10). <IMAGE>
