Abstract:
Banknotes emerging from a checking machine are caused to advance singly in succession along an outfeed duct of which the runout connects with a stacking channel; the banknotes come to rest on a companion element operating along the channel and capable of movement between a first receiving position, in which the banknotes are allowed to accumulate until formed into a group of given number that corresponds to one stack, and a second release position within the operating compass of a compactor with hinged arms, of which the function is to compress and hold the stack against the companion element. The compacted stack of banknotes is picked up finally by a gripper and transferred from the companion element to a bundling machine, which binds it with a wrapping band.
