<p>The packaging machine comprises a conveyor (1), a compartment (3) mounted on top of the conveyor, a feed mechanism (6) for loading the compartment (3) with articles to be packed, as well as a pusher (4) adapted to operate transversely relative to the traveling direction of the conveyor (1) through the compartment (3) for packing articles contained in the compartment into a carton (5). The conveyor (1) includes an inclined section (1a), whose extension in the advancing direction of articles to be packed comprises a section (1b) included within the range of application of the pusher element (4), and two separation walls (2), located transversely relative to the conveyor. The separation walls (2) define therebetween the compartment (3) that can be advanced by means of the conveyor (1) onto the inclined section (1a). The discharge point of said feed mechanism (6) for loading articles into the compartment is arranged above the inclined section (1a). Thus, the articles to be packed can be grouped in a narrower space by setting said articles in overlapping relationship in the rows.</p> |
