Method and device for applying additive packaging material
First Claim
1. A device for separately applying additive packaging materials, supplied as an additive packaging material continuous belt, to packages, the device having a separating organ for separating the additive packaging materials of the additive packaging material continuous belt, a supply section comprising a carousel which rotates about a central axis for supplying the additive packaging material continuous belt to the separating organ and for relaying the additive packaging materials separated by the separating organ, an application section consisting of an application wheel with an applicator rotating about an axis of rotation for applying the separated additive packaging materials to the packages, and a transport section comprising a transport belt provided with cams for transporting the packages along a package transport path to the application section,wherein a transfer section comprising a transfer wheel rotatable about a central axis is provided for picking up the additive packaging materials relayed by the supply section and for rotationally accelerating the picked up additive packaging materials to a speed adapted to the application section in such a way that the transfer section delivers the additive packaging materials to the application section at a circumferential speed which corresponds to a speed at which the additive packaging materials are applied to the packages.

Abstract
Presented and described are a device for separately applying additive packaging material, preferably wrapped straws, supplied as an additive packaging material continuous belt, to packages, in particular cardboard composite packages, having a separating organ for separating the additive packaging material of the additive packaging material continuous belt, a supply means for supplying the additive packaging material continuous belt to the separating organ and for relaying the additive packaging material separated by the separating organ, an application means for applying the separated additive packaging materials to the packages and a transport means for transporting the packages along a package transport path to the application means. So that the separation and application of the additive packaging materials can be carried out quickly, with high quality and reliably, it is provided that a transfer means is provided for picking up the additive packaging material relayed from the supply means and for accelerating the transferred additive packaging material to a speed adapted to the application means.
