Abstract
The machine includes: a plurality of conveyors (3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15) for sheets (F) of flat material to be stacked to form stacks or bundles (P); apparatus (6) for partially superimposing the sheets on each other; a surface (19) for the collection and stacking of the sheets; and removal apparatus (21, 23) for removing the stacks (P), the apparatus moving the stacks (P) in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of advance of the conveyors (3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15). The stacking surface (19) is associated with a stop gate (33) movable in the direction of removal of the stacks and provided with a withdrawal movement to permit the discharge of the stacks (P) which are formed.
