ABSTRACT:
A carton set-up and loading machine including a magazine for a stack of flattened cartons, suction cups to pull lowermost carton onto one end of a conveyor having spaced perpendicular blades forming compartments to receive a flattened carton and, as traveling around a sprocket, the blades move from diverging to parallel relation to set-up the carton, cam and rotatable members fold side and one end flap at one end closed to receive products from a lateral guideway while conveyor is momentarily stopped. Additional cams and rotatable means fold the side and one end flap at other end of carton closed followed by adhesive being applied to outer end flaps at both ends of carton and pivoted power-operated plates close the same against the previously folded flaps to complete the package. Overall sensing and safety controls insure no jams or unfilled cartons from occurring. Weighing means to prevent short weight also are included.
