(5), designed for the transfer of each product (A) into a respective container (B),
for its packaging. The main assembly (5) comprises a drive unit for at least one main
rotating shaft (6), at least one pair of pushers (7) being functionally associated
with the main shaft (6) and acting along respective predefined paths, which comprise
a common active portion and a return portion, which is different from the active portion,
to allow the return of each pusher (7) to the initial position of the active portion.
The active portion, which is followed in different respective active steps during
an idle step of each line (2, 3), intersects the first supply line (2) and leads to
