ABSTRACT:
Aligned conveyors support and supply a single file of articles to the infeed lug conveyor of a horizontal form, fill and seal wrapping machine. The aligned conveyors are oriented to intersect the infeed conveyor at an angle which can range from 90 to 135 degrees. The chosen angle of intersection is dependent upon article size and geometry. One of the aligned conveyors functions to organize the articles in abutting relation and yet maintains crowding forces or backlog pressure to a minimum. As the leading article of the row of abutting articles arrives at the intersection of the aligned conveyors and the infeed conveyor, it is controllably propelled to the infeed lug conveyor of the wrapping machine.
