<p>The apparatus for forming a container is situated in a container-forming unit comprising different processing stations. The apparatus for forming a container includes a wrapping mandrel (2) attached to a moving structure, which is arranged to move the wrapping mandrel (2) between different processing stations, and the members for feeding the blank (O1) to the wrapping mandrel (2). The apparatus for forming the container also has members to wrap the blank (O1) around the wrapping mandrel (2) in order to form a structure that is closed in the horizontal cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The wrapping mandrel (2) is equipped with suction openings (4) distributed on its perimeter, which openings are connected to the air duct (3) in order to wrap the blank (O1) around the wrapping mandrel (2) with the aid of suction.</p> |
