Abstract (en)
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) advancing along a first feeding path (P1); a second feeding wheel (20) supporting at least one second pocket (22) advancing 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); if the blank (10) has a longitudinal development, in the feeding wheel (17; 20) the pocket (19; 22) is oriented in a radial manner and in the other feeding wheel (17; 20) the pocket (19; 22) is oriented in a tangential manner, whereas if the blank (45) has a transverse development, in each feeding wheel (17, 20) the pocket (19; 22) is oriented in a radial or in a tangential manner.
