The invention relates to a packaging machine comprising a horizontal conveyor and stations along this for processing packaging blanks, preferably case blanks, up to ready cases filled with product. The conveyor is constructed around pivotal gear bearings (roller path bearings) or the like, whereby one of the bearing races defines a circular conveyor path, and holders or carrier fingers for the case blanks are arranged on the driven race in the bearing arrangement. The arrangement allows a packaging machine structure where the essential elements are constituted by standard components, and by placing a plurality of bearing rings vertically above one another in the machine frame, possibilities for a flexible camshaft arrangement and format adjustment in the height direction are offered, as well as an open and easily accessible structure being obtained for maintenance and repair. In an alternative embodiment, the camshaft arrangement can comprise a camshaft placed in the centre of the pivotal ring bearing. |
