<abstract id="abst" lang="en">
<p id="pa01" num="0001">A packer machine (9) for producing a wrap (3) by folding a wrapping sheet (7) around a group (5) of smoking articles. The packer machine (9) has a transport unit (22), which is interposed between a folding conveyor (13) and a transfer conveyor (19) and is configured to receive the wrap (3) from the folding conveyor (13) and to transfer the wrap (3) to the transfer conveyor (19). The transport unit (22) has: a drawer (25) provided with a frame (26), in which a pocket (27) is defined, which is configured to house the wrap (3) and is delimited, on one side, by a containing wall (30), which, in use, comes into contact with the wrap (3); and a conveyor device (32) configured to move the drawer (25) along a transfer path (P4). The containing wall (30) is mounted on the frame (26) in a movable manner so as to move between a loading and unloading position, in which it gives the pocket (27) a first dimension (D1), and a transport position, in which it gives the pocket (27) a second dimension (D2), which is smaller than the first dimension (D1). The transport unit (22) has an actuator device (40), which can be operated to move the containing wall (30) between the loading and unloading position and the transport position.
