Abstract (en)

A packer machine (24) to produce a cigarette pack (1) and having:a wrapping drum (25), which is mounted so as to rotate, with an intermittent motion, around a rotation axis (26) and moves a pocket (27) along a circular wrapping path (P1) extending between an input station (S1), where a wrap (3) and a blank (17) are inserted into the pocket (27), and an output station (S2); a first folding device, which is arranged along the first wrapping path (P1) and folds the blank (17) around the wrap (3); a gluing conveyor (29), which receives the wrap (3) wrapped in the blank (17) from the pocket (27) of the wrapping drum (25) in the output station (S2) and moves the wrap (3) wrapped in the blank (17) up to a transfer station (S3) along a straight gluing path (P2), which is parallel to the rotation axis (26) of the wrapping drum (25); at least one gluing device (31), which is arranged along the gluing path (P2) and applies glue (23) on first wings (9', 13') or on second wings (9", 13") of the blank (17); and a second folding device (34), which is arranged downstream of the gluing device (31) and folds the first wings (9', 13') by 90° against the second wings (9", 13"), thus completing the production of the cigarette pack (1).
