The upended rolls R are nourished by way of a conveyor coil upender 57 in the direction of a curler conveyor 59 through which they can be singly gathered with a robot suggested overall with 61. The robot 61 can position the individual rolls on a single or any other of two conveyors 63A, 63B. For this reason, the robot 61 has an arm 65 furnished with a activity close to a plurality of numerically managed axes. The robot 61 can also pick up separator discs DS made of cardboard or another suitable sheet material, positioned on a specific support 67 placed within the range of action of the arm 65 of the robot 61, as well as picking up the individual rolls R from the roller conveyor 59. In this manner, the robot 61 picks up one rolls and areas them in one or any other in the conveyors63B and 63A, and will location a separator disc DS on each and every roll. The conveyors 63A, 63B are associated with an assembly of curler conveyors 69 that may feed piles of rolls established on the conveyors 63A, 63B for the up coming gear situated over the packaging range to do exterior labeling and wrapping of your bundles of moves, as well as optionally available considering and also other surgical procedures concerning packaging.

A machine 71 is provided along the roller conveyor 69 to wrap, with a film F, the stack of rolls R positioned time by time in the machine 71, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention.

According to a possible embodiment of the invention, downstream of the wrapping machine 71 a palletization station 73 is positioned, in which single pallets P are inserted under the stack of rolls R, between said stack and the roller conveyor 69. For this purpose, according to an embodiment of the invention, a lifting member 75 with jaws or grippers 76, which grip the stack of rolls R laterally to lift it from the roller conveyor, is positioned in the station 73.

According to an advantageous embodiment, a further wrapping machine 77 is positioned downstream of the palletization station 73, where the assembly formed by the pallet and by the stacks of rolls R is wrapped with a plastic film.

In accordance with the recommended embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6E, an additional roller conveyor 79 is situated downstream in the wrapping machine 77, in which the palletized offers are nourished for an outside marking station 81 and from here with an unloading curler conveyor 83, with the wall plug in which the only pallets are picked up using a fork lift truck or maybe the like (not proven).
