Abstract (en)

A method for packaging articles inside relative containers includes feeding, along respective feeding lines (10,20,30) first, second and third, respectively, a plurality of articles (1) to be packaged, a corresponding plurality of informative sheets (2) and relative containers (3) for containing said articles (1) together with corresponding informative sheets (2). The first, second and third feeding lines (10,20 and 30) are operated independently from each other and in a proper time relation by respective first, second and third actuators (12,22 and 32). The presence and integrity of said articles (1), said informative sheets (2) and containers (3) in said first, second and third feeding lines (10,20 and 30) are checked by respective first, second and third sensors (15,25 and 35), so that defective articles (1), informative sheets (2) and/or containers (3) detected independently by said first, second and third sensors (15,25 and 35) in said first, second and third feeding lines (10,20 and 30) are ejected, and then respective actuators (12,22 and 32) are operated to change the working conditions of said first, second and third feeding lines (10,20 and 30) independently from each other, so as to restore the correct time relation between these first, second and third feeding lines (10,20 and 30) in the region of means (40) for transferring said articles (1) together with corresponding informative sheets (2) inside said containers (3). <IMAGE>
