Abstract
A device for feeding packages from a packaging machine has first, second, third and fourth package drivers. The drivers are arranged to transport packages in a transportation direction from an infeed station to an outfeed station. The drivers are arranged diametrically in relation to each other in pairs and rotatably about a common centre axis. A method of feeding packages from a packaging machine includes receiving at the infeed station packages between the first and second drivers, transporting the packages by rotation of the drivers to the outfeed station, and when the packages have reached the outfeed station, returning the first driver to the infeed station and advancing the second driver so that the fourth driver advances to the infeed station, the first and fourth drivers being ready to receive subsequent packages.
