ABSTRACT:
A machine and method for automatically cartoning fruit in the cells of a protective honeycomb, in which the method includes the steps of positioning a foldable carton blank at a first station, disposing an expanded honeycomb defining a plurality of open cells over the blank, depositing articles such as fruit in the cells to form a fruit-filled honeycomb on the blank, and forming the carton blank into a base portion and side and end portions closely embracing the periphery of the fruit filled honeycomb, thereby to form a self-supporting fruit containing carbon. The machine comprises means for feeding a carton blank to and receiving the carton blank at a loading station, means for receiving and for gripping and expanding a honeycomb blank into an expanded honeycomb having a plurality of open cells at the loading station directly above the carton blank, and conveyor and chute means for conveying and depositing fruit downwardly into the cells, thereby to provide a fruit-filled honeycomb supported on the carbon blank. The machine further comprises means for forming the carton blank into a base portion which supports the fruit-filled honeycomb and into side portions and end portions which closely embrace the sides and ends of the article-filled honeycomb.
