Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a feeding system (100, 900) for feeding cardboard sheets (106) to a module that processes them, comprising: at least one storage unit (101, 901, 901') for storing cardboard sheets in a vertical position, at least one unitary feeder (102, 902) for unit-by-unit supplying the cardboard sheets to a module that processes them; a belt conveyor (103, 903) for transporting the cardboard sheets, which comprises a conveyor belt (104) defining a closed-loop path and a plurality of picking units (105) configured to pick a cardboard sheet from a storage unit and hold it vertically, the picking units being affixed to the conveyor belt at different positions along said closed-loop path, so that the picking units move integrally with the conveyor belt; and a control unit operatively connected to the belt conveyor and to the at least one unitary feeder, configured to a) selectively enable a given picking unit to pick a cardboard sheet from a storage unit and b) selectively enable a given unitary feeder to fetch a cardboard sheet being carried by a picking unit. The invention also relates to a method for feeding cardboard sheets to a module that processes them.
