AN ARRANGEMENT FOR THE RAISING AND TRANSPORTING OF PACKING CONTAINER BLANKS

摘要

An arrangement for the raising and transporting of packing container blanks is used in a packaging machine of the type which converts tubular packing container blanks to filled and sealed packing containers. The arrangement has a carrier plate which by a plurality of suction heads grips a flattened packing container blank situated in a magazine and transports the same to a conveyor (4). During the transport the packing container blank is converted with the help of stationary supports, situated in the path of movement of the blank, so that it obtains a substantially square cross-section.
