Abstract (en)
Transfer unit and method to transfer wraps (3) containing groups of smoking articles changing the mutual distance thereof. Provided are: at least two transfer pockets (30, 31), each designed to house a respective wrap (3); at least one output station (S8); one single input station (S6); an insertion device (32), which is designed to simultaneously insert two wraps (3), which are arranged at an input distance (I) from one another, into the transfer pockets (30, 31), which are together in the input station (S6); an extracting device (33), which is designed to simultaneously extract two wraps (3), which are arranged at an output distance (O) from one another, which is different from the input distance (I), from the transfer pockets (30, 31), which are together in the first output station (S8), so as to insert the two wraps (3) into two respective feedings pockets (27) of a feeding conveyor; and a moving device, which is designed to simultaneously move, along a moving direction (D1), the two transfer pockets (30, 31) between the input station (S6) and the output station (S8) causing the two transfer pockets (30, 31) to travel strokes with a different length.
