Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a multi-pack having a plurality of products, wherein the method comprises the following method steps: aligning a plurality of products provided for a respective multi-pack so that a strip-shaped packaging material or a strip-shaped packaging blank can subsequently be applied to the aligned products; strapping the aligned products with the strip-shaped packaging material or packaging blank; and fixing the opposing end regions of the strip-shaped packaging blank. According to the invention, it is provided in particular that the strip-shaped packaging material or the strip-shaped packaging blank consists in particular of a biocompatible and/or biodegradable material.

Abstract: A conveying apparatus in or for a packaging machine having at least one conveyor chain (1) which circulates in a chain running direction (5) and includes a large number of chain links (3) that are connected to one another in an articulated manner around a respective chain link axis (4) via transversely extending chain pins (2). Lamellar elements (6) that include lamellae (7) made of an elastic material, in particular a spring-elastic material, are oriented obliquely with respect to the chain running direction (5) are placed on the chain links (3), in particular interchangeably.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging machine (100) for arranging elements, preferably cartons (K), on pallets (Z), wherein the packaging machine (100) has the following: a palletizing station (180) that has a platform (181) and a Scara robot (182), which is positioned on the platform (181) and which is embodied to move elements, preferably cartons (K), to be stowed on pallets (Z); a pallet feed (190), which is embodied to feed empty pallets (Z) along a path, wherein the platform (181) is embodied in a bridge-like manner and the path extends through under the platform (181) of the palletizing station (180) to a pallet loading station (191).

Abstract: A method for operating a packaging line of a packaging installation, wherein the packaging line includes at least one packaging machine having an infeed conveyor belt, wherein the packaging line further includes at least one transport belt which is disposed upstream of the infeed conveyor belt, wherein the method includes the steps of: i) defining and/or determining a current machine performance of the at least one packaging machine; ii) determining an output request for the at least one transport belt; and iii) defining and setting a transport speed of the at least one transport belt, wherein the transport speed is defined as a function of the determined output request.

Abstract: A packaging machine for boxing products that are brought together to form a group in a box includes a first conveyor device on which the products are conveyed to a collection station, and a second conveyor device by which the box, which is provided in a loading station to be filled with products, is conveyed away after being filled. A collection table is provided on which the groups are brought together, and an insert tool arranged above the collection table and loading station and which grasps a group brought together on the collection table and inserts them into a box provided in the loading station. The collection table is provided between first and second conveyor devices, and a stop, a clamp and a slider are provided such that the products are conveyed from the first conveyor device towards the stop and a defined number of products then move together.
