Abstract
A machine ( 1 ) for producing packages of napkins, tissues, towels, or similar products, comprises a support frame ( 100 ) to support a feeding group ( 10 ) which feeds a first and a second web of paper ( 5 a, 5 b ). The support frame ( 100 ) supports, furthermore, a cutting group ( 20 ) which cuts the first and second webs of paper ( 5 a, 5 b ) respectively in a first and a second plurality of sheets ( 6 ) of predetermined length, and a folding or interfolding group ( 30 ) which folds or interfolds the sheets of paper ( 6 ) at a folding or interfolding zone, ( 35 ) in such a way to obtain a stack ( 150 ) of folded or interfolded sheets, according to a predetermined folding or interfolding configuration. The cutting group ( 20 ) and the folding or interfolding group ( 30 ) are mounted on the same support body ( 110 ) to move between an assembled position in which is supported by the support frame ( 100 ), and a disassembled position, in which is not supported by the support frame ( 100 ). A displacement group ( 50 ) is, furthermore, provided to displace the support body ( 110 ) between the assembled position and the disassembled position. The displacement group ( 50 ) and the support body ( 110 ) are provided with respective engagement portions ( 58,118 ) to engage with each other in such a way to allow the displacement group ( 50 ) to displace the support body ( 110 ) between the assembled position and the disassembled position.
