Abstract (en)

Packer machine and wrapping method to couple an inner frame (8) to two groups (5) of smoking articles having two main walls (9, 10) and two dividing walls (12) interposed between the main walls (9, 10). The following are provided: a seat (22) designed to hold the inner frame (8) in a spread condition; a conveyor (21), which moves the seat (22) along a feeding path (P1); a pocket (24) designed to house the inner frame (8) in an at least partially folded condition; an input station (S4) arranged along the feeding path (P1) and configured to feed the spread inner frame (8) to the seat (22) of the conveyor (21); and a transfer station (S5) arranged along the feeding path (P1) and configured to transfer the inner frame (8) from the seat (22) to the pocket (24). The seat (22) of the conveyor (21) is designed to only hold the inner frame (8) in a spread condition, so that the inner frame (8) reaches the transfer station (S5) in a spread condition. The transfer station (S5) has a transfer device (25) configured to transfer the inner frame (8) from the seat (22) to the pocket (24), simultaneously folding the inner frame (8).
