(57) A cartoning machine comprising in succession: a chute (1) for feeding the "cannelloni"
in bulk; a vibrating grid chute (2) for advancing the "cannelloni" which is associated
to means (23, 24, 25, 26) for the orderly arrangement thereof; a continuous belt conveyer
(3) for the longitudinal orientation one after the other; a continuous belt conveyer
(4) associated to a control station comprising means (44) for the integrity check,
means (45,46,47) for the dimension check and means (48) for ejecting the defective
pieces; a continuous storage belt conveyer (5); a continuous loading belt conveyer
(6); and a boxing station (7). The station (7) comprises a vertical loader (71) having
a cross section the dimensions of which are about equal to the diameter and the length
of the "cannelloni" and the height of which is such as to contain a number of "cannelloni"
greater than that to be introduced in a box or carton, the loader being associated
to at least a member (79), which can be vertically moved to support the column of
"cannelloni" within the loader (7), and to means (82) guiding the "cannelloni" to
be arranged within a box or carton (83) supplied by a well known machine.
