Abstract (en)
A wrapping unit and method to fold a wrap (21) around a group (14) of smoking articles; there are: a spindle (32), which is provided with a tubular cavity (33), which is designed to accommodate the group (14) of smoking articles and has: an outer base wall (34), an inner base wall (35) opposite the outer base wall (34), and a pair of side walls (36), which are interposed between the two base walls (34, 35); a wrapping conveyor (30), which supports the spindle (32) and moves the spindle (32) along a wrapping path (P1); a first feeding device (44), which is designed to insert the group (14) of smoking articles into the tubular cavity (33) of the spindle (32); a second feeding device (48), which is designed to feed the wrap (21) to the spindle (32) laying the wrap (21) on the outer base wall (34) of the spindle (32); and a folding device (53), which is designed to fold the wrap (21) in a "U"-shape around the spindle (32) laying the wrap (21) on both base walls (34, 35). The outer base wall (34) of the spindle (32) is larger than the inner base wall (35) of the spindle (32) and the side walls (36) of the spindle (32) have respective inclined portions (37), which form a non-right angle with the base walls (34, 35) and give a trapezoidal shape to a cross section of the spindle (32).
