Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3222534A1] Packaging machine (12) and wrapping method for the production of a pack (1) of tobacco articles; a first wrapping unit (14), which creates an inner wrapping (3) around a group (4) of tobacco articles by folding a wrap (7; 9); a second wrapping unit (15), which creates an outer container (2) around the inner wrapping (3) by folding a blank (10; 45); and a feeding unit (16), which receives the inner wrapping (3) from the first wrapping unit (14) in an input station (S1) and releases the inner wrapping (3) to the second wrapping unit (15) in an output station (S2); the feeding unit (16) comprises: a first feeding wheel (17) supporting at least one first pocket (19), which advances along a first feeding path (P1); a second feeding wheel (20) supporting at least one second pocket (22), which advances along a second feeding path (P2); and a transfer device (23), which is arranged in a transfer station (S3) and transfers the inner wrapping (3) from the first pocket (19) to the second pocket (22); the first pocket (19) of the first feeding wheel (17) and the second pocket (22) of the second feeding wheel (20) are aligned with one another in two exchange positions (A, B), which are different and separate from one another; and the transfer station (S3) can indifferently be placed in a first exchange position (A) or in a second exchange position (B), which is different and separated from the first exchange position (A).
