ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a transfer unit for transferring packages in the form of a film wrapped around a plurality of containers from a package forming or wrapping machine to a shrink tunnel unit, wherein the shrink tunnel unit has a conveyor which moves at a faster rate than a conveyor of the packaging machine. In order that partially formed packages may be transferred between the two conveyors, there has been provided a transfer unit in the form of two rollers spaced so as to receive articles arranged in one behind the other relationship, the two rollers being driven normally in accordance with the speed of the packaging machine conveyor and there being means for momentarily driving the rollers at the same general speed as the shrink tunnel unit conveyor, the changing of roller speed being automatically accomplished when the package being transferred is properly positioned relative thereto.
