Abstract (en)

A machine for folded stacking of cards made into a strip comprises a stacking station (13) to which a supplying conveyor (11) sends the strip of cards to be folded concertina-fashion. The stacking station (13) comprises at least a first plane (19) that is tilted upwards in the supplying direction of the strip and is vertically movable downwards to constitute a receiver that receives the strip of cards that folds thereupon to form a stack of cards. Above the tilted plane (19) there is arranged first blowing means (26) blowing downwards. A control unit (30) controls the advance of the strip and drives the blowing means (26) intermittently in a manner synchronised with the advance of the strip to cause the strip to fold towards the tilted plane (19).
