An automatic packaging system comprising a container fabricating mechanism for forming a tubular structure from laminated paper capable of heat sealing, marking folding guidelines for forming rectangular-prism-shaped containers, cutting individual pouched containers from the tubular structure, and shaping one end of each pouched container, and a packaging mechanism for filling the shaped containers with a filling material and sealing the openings of the containers. The container fabricating mechanism includes a rotating mandrel mechanism formed of a plurality of radially arranged pairs of forming plates to receive the cut pouched containers. The packaging mechanism includes an endless conveyor mechanism for feeding the containers processed by the container fabricating mechanism, and a deflating mechanism for removing air from the top inside spaces of the containers filled with the filling material, a lug folding/heat-sealing mechanism for heat-sealing the openings of the containers immediately after deflation and then folding and heat-sealing the heat-sealed portions flat. |
