Abstract: An apparatus (1) for the packaging of products in pre-made containers (100, 101) that comprises a receiving station (2) for containers and at least two workstations (3, 4) each on one side of that receiving station; the apparatus comprising container transfer means (5) that are equipped with at least two holding groups (6, 7) prepared to hold containers in a suspended way and that can move between at least two positions, one that coincides with the container receiving station (2) and the other that coincides with one of the two workstations (3 or 4), such that the transfer means are able to serve the pre-made containers received in that receiving station to one side and to the other side of the receiving station, and to corresponding workstations, in an alternating way.

Abstract: A work station (40) for a packaging line having an apparatus (4) for executing a simultaneous action on packages (10) of an alignment of packages with a tool (46); and a transfer mechanism (31) for the simultaneous transport of an alignment of packages to be processed (10b) to the apparatus (4) and of an alignment of processed packages (10c) from the apparatus (4). The alignments are arranged parallel to each other and the transport direction of the packages are perpendicular to the alignments, the transfer mechanism (31) thus having a first and a second transport group (31a, 31b), one of which hangs from two movable parts (60) of the transfer mechanism (31) which are movable on respective parallel planes of movement and which do not interfere with the vertical projection of the tool (46). A packaging line (101, 102, 103) with modular construction having such work stations.
