Abstract: The invention relates to a folding apparatus for folding a carton blank not belonging to the folding apparatus. The folding apparatus comprises a folding die unit and a folding head unit. According to the invention, the folding die unit comprises two folding die sub-units, each having a substantially U-shaped frame. A plurality of folding tools are disposed on each frame. Furthermore, a base leg of the U-shape of each folding die sub-unit is attached to a separate vertical beam so as to be movable up and down in the height direction. The two U-shaped frames are disposed with the openings of the respective U-shapes facing each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for turning elongate objects conveyed into a discharge orientation. The apparatus includes a feed device and a turning worm screw. The turning worm screw comprises at least one worm channel open radially outwards and is delimited by a feed side delimiting wall, discharge side delimiting wall, and a radially inner circumferential wall. Both the feed side delimiting wall and the discharge side delimiting wall have a screw pitch which reduces from a feed end to a discharge end of the turning worm screw. A feed path of the feed device approaches a feed portion of the turning worm screw to the side. The feed portion adjoins the feed end of the turning worm screw. The apparatus includes a discharge device assigned to the discharge end of the turning worm screw.
