ABSTRACT:
A packaging system, in which a plurality of production machines supplying one high-capacity packaging machine has a plurality of readying devices and transfer apparatuses for the articles that are to be packaged. In order to transfer the readied articles gently and at the correct times to product buckets of the conveyor apparatus of the packaging machine, the individual transfer apparatuses are each driven by one highly dynamic electric motor in such a way that a dog of the transfer apparatus approaches a readied article slowly, then accelerates the article and then transfers the article at a synchronized speed to a bucket. The individual electric motors are controlled by a central guidance system having a process computer. The guidance system can be arbitrarily programmed such that the transfer apparatuses are not rigidly aligned with a certain succession of buckets of the conveyor apparatus, but instead can fill each successive bucket, depending on the operation of the production machines.
