A pick-up head for groups of tissue products including a support which can be connected to a robotic arm. The support has a first sliding guide in which a first pair of compacting means runs, between an open configuration and a compacting configuration. The pick-up head also includes a plurality of unidirectional chains, wherein the unidirectional chains are positioned outside each compacting means of the first pair and slide between an engaging position and a disengaging position. The pick-up head also includes a plurality of guides associated with respective unidirectional chains, in such a way that the unidirectional chains protrude beyond an end edge of a horizontal stretch of the guide in such a way as to create a cantilever support designed to support the bottom of the group of tissue products during its movement.

A system for processing food products comprises a slicing apparatus that is configured to cut off slices from food products and to form part portions having one or more slices in a portioning section. A transport device adjoining the portioning section is provided and the portioning section comprises a conveying device that transfers the part portions to the transport device. The system comprises a stacking apparatus that is configured to form a food portion comprising a plurality of part portions. The transport device is configured to transport the part portions onto a product support of the stacking apparatus, wherein the transport device and/or the stacking apparatus has/have a scale for measuring the weight of the part portions and/or of the food portion.

A palletizing device for container packs including a structure and a loading surface of the packs with side-by-side parallel rollers mounted on mobile frames with a freely rotation. Two side parts are movable from a closed position to an open position, and reversely. When a locking system of the rollers with a locking means with a cart with a locker mobile from a folded position to an unfolded position, and reversely, is in the unfolded position, the locker is blocking the freely rotation of the rollers, and the locking system has a fixed locking actuator cooperating with the locking actuator to move the locker from the folded position to the unfolded position to lock the rollers of the two sides parts during the movement from the closed to the opened position. In some examples, displacement of the loading surface can cause the locker to either engage or disengage.

A pallet assembly including an overhead conveyor system having a conveyor platform and a push rail, a loading assembly, a stacking assembly, and a release assembly. The loading assembly provides a pallet to the overhead conveyor system. The stacking assembly is located below the conveyor platform and includes a first chute, a first movable floor, and a first height adjustment mechanism. The release assembly, which is coupled to a portion of the conveyor platform, includes a portion selectively configured to release a pallet into a first chute.

A depositing table including a depositing device, a displacing device and an air feeding device, the depositing device is moveable by the displacing device between a closed position and an open position and an upper side of the depositing device includes a depositing surface receiving a sack layer. The depositing device is air flowable, an air feeding opening is on a lower side of the depositing device and the depositing surface has an air discharging opening. The air feeding device has an air guiding element with an air outlet opening and a connecting device, the connecting device is arranged between the air outlet opening and the air feeding opening. The connecting device creates a coplanar length compensation between the air outlet opening and the air feeding opening when the depositing device is moved. A palletizing device includes a conveying device with a conveying element and the depositing table.
