ABSTRACT:
An improved packaging apparatus includes a linear conveyor belt above which there is mounted an automatic reciprocating turning device which turns flat elements moved by the conveyor. At the end of travel of the conveyor, there is a clamp loader which presses the flat elements and transfers them from a horizontal position to a vertical position, dropping them in this position onto a horizontal dual conveyor, whereby they are displaced with an intermittent forward movement. The elements are faced in pairs and grouped in quantitatively scheduled packages, until they are deposited on a roller table to group various laterally faced packages and to obtain a scheduled volume for the packaging thereof. The upper belt of the horizontal dual conveyor moves at the same speed as the belts below it and maintains the members forming the package in a vertical orientation. The lower belt face which contacts the edges of the flat elements has a layer of soft material, such as sponge rubber, which absorbs the pressure exerted by tiles with differences in height that can exist between the different pieces of tile. The upper belt extends to the zone of the roller table for delivery of the tiles thereto for subsequent strapping together by a strapping machine.
