A forming assembly of multilayer packets of wet wipes includes: a feeding device of wipes assemblies; a forming device of packets including wipes assemblies; a packet removing device, where the forming device receives the wipes assemblies from an upper level and releases the packets at a lower level; first and second bands closed in a loop, moving along a path having a respective operating section extending vertically, including blades facing one another along the respective operating section creating housings for single wipes assemblies and defining a free space; a moving index in the free space ejecting a predetermined number of wipes assemblies onto the removing device; and a movement member advancing the index through the free space, the index including a fixed body associated with the movement member and a moving portion associated with the fixed body, allowing the index height to vary with respect to the removing device.

Features for systems and methods for loading items into a tray are disclosed. The system may have an item conveyor configured to move the items towards a tray conveyor. The tray conveyor may be configured to move trays to receive items from the item conveyor into the tray. One or more sensors may detect the height of the items on the item conveyor and/or in the tray, and/or the position of the trays on the tray conveyor. A controller may receive data related to the one or more detected heights of the items and/or the position of the trays on the tray conveyor and correspondingly control movement of the item and/or tray conveyors for efficient loading of items into the tray and efficient movement of the trays for further processing. Tray conveyor movement sensors may detect movement of the trays or tray conveyors for further control or reliability of the system.

A sheet stacking apparatus is provided. A conveyor unit performs stacking of sheets discharged from a printing apparatus and conveying of stacked sheets. A detection unit detects whether or not the printing apparatus is currently discharging a sheet. A control unit, so as to secure a stacking space for a sheet discharged from the printing apparatus on the conveyor unit, controls a feeding operation of the conveyor unit correspondingly to a period of time over which the detection unit detected that the printing apparatus is discharging a sheet.
