Machine for processing products comprising a preparation assembly and a packaging device , for packaging said products , which are of the type including bottles, flasks, cans, in batches , within which, for packaging thereof, the products travel along a conveying direction , said batches having, transverse to said conveying direction , at least two products , said device comprising a feed means , for receiving intrinsically finished and positionreferenced products , discharged by said preparation assembly and circulating in single file at a pick-up area , and conducting them to a set-down area for subsequent packaging thereof, the feed means retaining the individual referencing of the products and comprising, on the one hand, in the pick-up area , at the preparation assembly, a means for individually transferring the products entering in single file, and, on the other hand, a plurality of mobile, controlled-position collectors for receiving and then moving, in a position-controlled manner, at least one product from the transfer means to the set-down area , the machine being characterized in that the device also comprises a conveyor in the set-down area onto which the collectors set down the at least one product that they have previously captured in the pick-up area , the batches being organized directly during the setting-down by the feed means , the preparation assembly and the packaging device being arranged in such a way that, viewed from above, the feed means , between the preparation assembly and the following elements of the packaging device , extends substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor in the set-down area , or of a main conveyor disposed downstream of the conveyor in the set-down area that feeds it, said conveyors being oriented longitudinally along said conveying direction , the collectors between, on the one hand, the preparation assembly, and, on the other hand, the following modules of the packaging device , being made to carry out a movement that is essentially perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveyor the packaging device thus forming, viewed from above, an L-shaped configuration, in the void of which the preparation assembly is located. the feed means retaining the individual referencing of the products and comprising, on the one hand, in the pick-up area , at the preparation assembly, a means for individually transferring the products entering in single file, and, on the other hand, a plurality of mobile, controlled-position collectors for receiving and then moving, in a position-controlled manner, at least one product from the transfer means to the set-down area , the machine being characterized in that the device also comprises a conveyor in the set-down area onto which the collectors set down the at least one product that they have previously captured in the pick-up area , the batches being organized directly during the setting-down by the feed means , the preparation assembly and the packaging device being arranged in such a way that, viewed from above, the feed means , between the preparation assembly and the following elements of the packaging device , extends substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor in the set-down area , or of a main conveyor disposed downstream of the conveyor in the set-down area that feeds it, said conveyors being oriented longitudinally along said conveying direction , the collectors between, on the one hand, the preparation assembly, and, on the other hand, the following modules of the packaging device , being made to carry out a movement that is essentially perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveyor the packaging device thus forming, viewed from above, an L-shaped configuration, in the void of which the preparation assembly is located. <EOS>
