Picking up in a positive manner from a feeding hopper in individual sequence horizontally positioned tubes, feeding them by gravity and delivering them, always positively held, to an element that from the horizontal pick-up position inserts them positively in a vertical plane with their open ends upwards in clamping elements on a processing line along which, advancing in increments, they are filled and closed and sealed in a conventional manner along the end thereof. Thereafter, synchronized with the incremental advance along the processing line, the tubes thus filled and end sealed, are successively gripped by transfer elements that insert them in preassembled boxes having their introduction opening facing upwards, at a packaging station, and there the tubes are packed inside the appropriate boxes with the introduction opening of the box being then closed. |
