An apparatus (100) for forming and shaping a container from a film material unwound from a related reel, includes an endless conveying line (L) having elongated support elements (S) operated to convey each of the support elements (S) through subsequent work stations, which face the line (L). The work stations include a tubular element (T) forming station (A), in which a tubular element (T) is formed and cut from the material and is fitted onto a corresponding support element (S), a closing station (B), in which the outer end of the tubular element (T) is closed to define a bottom (G) to form an open container (C), and a shaping station (D), having a closeable mold (E), inside which the container (C) is positioned and contained, and inside which the lateral walls of the container (C) are shaped by the use of an operational pressurized fluid introduced into the mold (E) by a supply system (V), associated to the shaping station (D). |
