Abstract: The invention relates to a modularly constructed packaging device, comprising: a package feed (2) for feeding empty packages (20), a product feed (3) for feeding products (30, 40), a loading station (4), in which the products are packed into the empty package in order to provide a packaging container (21), and a cardboard-box discharge (5), which leads away the packaging container.

Abstract: An apparatus for opening bags lying flat is part of a packaging system having a conveyor system, with receiving cups, located at equal intervals, for the bags. The bags are kept on hand in the form of blanks lying flat in bag magazines and are taken from the bags by means of a bag extracting device. By means of a gripper device, the blanks reach the region of suction plates, which open the blanks and insert them into the receiving cups. The apparatus according to the invention makes high capacity with a relatively simple construction possible.

Abstract: A package delivery device of a filling and closing machine has a conveyor belt (31) and above it, spaced apart by the package height, has a top belt (41). To adjust the clearance of the top belt (41) from the conveyor belt (31) to the format height and to compensate for filling level fluctuations of the packages 1, the arrival end of the conveyor belt (31) and the delivery end of the top belt (41) can be adjusted in opposing directions, whereas the arrival end of the top belt (41) and the delivery end of the conveyor belt (31) are stationary. A linear drive (51) produces the vertical adjustment via a common adjusting rod assembly.
