ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for forming planar sheets into containers for containing a flowable food or like product. The container-forming apparatus has an apparatus frame with a plurality of treating stations including a planar sheet feed station. The apparatus also has a rotary body having radial mandrels which are rotatable so as to stop at each of the plurality of treating stations. A holding device is provided on each of the mandrels for holding the planar sheets to the mandrel, and a feeder, preferably having suction cups, is provided for feeding the planar sheet to the holding device at the sheet feed station. The various treating stations along the path of movement of the mandrels are for forming the sheet into a tube and closing one end of the tube to form a bottom of the container.
