The invention relates to a plant for manufacturing and packaging tubes consisting of a tubular body consisting of at least one plastic foil and, connected at one end thereof a shoulder portion with a threaded neck, fitted with a closure cap, the tubes being fed via a conveyor belt to a packaging station, where they are packaged to form larger units, the foil strip being a dual or multiple-strip, cut by one or a plurality of partitioning knives into individual webs, which are in each case welded in parallel planes to form endless tubes and which are cut to the desired tube length by transverse cutters, whereafter the tubular bodies manufactured parallel to one another are assembled into a larger transfer group and are jointly transferred to a turn table comprising a corresponding number of mandrels, the said turn table conveying them jointly and stepwise to stations for fitting the shoulder portion with a threaded neck and the closure cap, whereupon the finished tubes are deposited on a discharge belt, consisting of at least two toothed belts situated parallel next to one another and comprising transport prisms, the partitioning of which corresponds to that of the mandrels on the turn table, and being fed to control regions for examining the tubes and the flawless tubes being received by the discharge belt by means of rotatable suction prisms corresponding to the spacing of the transport prisms and being fed continuously to a tray.
