A unit (1) for feeding products (3) to a blistering machine (M)
includes
a delivery group (2,2a,S) for selectively distributing products (3)
to a station (SR), where the products (3) are introduced into respective
blisters (40) of a blister band (4), moving in a forward direction
(W) inside the blistering machine (M). The filling station (SR) is defined by conveying
means (10) consisting of a belt (11) provided with seats (110).
Each seat (110) receives a relative product (3) distributed by the
delivery group (2,2a,S) and releases the products (3) into
a respective blister (4). The conveying means (10) include at least
one endless belt (11), moving in step relation with the blister band (4)
and wound around respective pulling wheels (13,14), with an upper portion
of the belt (11) defined by an upper run (11a) extending under
the delivery group (2,2a,S) in a direction parallel to the forward
direction (W), and with the lower portion of the belt (11) defined by a
lower run (11b) extending, along at least a section (O) parallel
to the forward direction (W), substantially very close to and above the blister
band (4) and facing the blister band (4).
