Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3222532A1] Orientation unit (16) and method for causing a change in orientation of a parallelepiped-shaped article (3) in a packing machine (12); the orientation unit (16) having: an input station (S1) in which the article (3) is oriented according to an input plane (A); an output station (S2) in which the article (3) is oriented according to an output plane (B); and an orientation drum (17) which can rotate around a rotation axis (18) and supports a parallelepiped-shaped pocket (19) which advances along an orientation path (P1) between the input station (S1) and the output station (S2); the rotation axis (18) of the orientation drum (17) is arranged obliquely, i.e. neither parallel nor perpendicular with respect to the input plane (A) and to the output plane (B) and/or the rotation axis (18) of the orientation drum (17) is arranged obliquely, i.e. neither parallel nor perpendicular with respect to the walls of the pocket (19).
