Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3680185A1] An apparatus is described for forming a pack containing a group of products (G), particularly smoking articles.The apparatus comprises a forming wheel (20), which is configured to produce a semi-finished pack (PI), and a conveying section (50), downstream of the forming wheel (20), which is configured to accumulate therein already formed packs (P2) arranged in a row, and to which the semi-finished pack is transferred by means of a pusher member (30).The conveying section (50) is arranged with means (52B) configured to operate by friction on the row of already formed packs (P2), so that the already formed packs (P2) exert a force on the semi-finished pack (P1) that is opposite to the force exerted by the pusher member (30).
