ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for manufacturing packages of product; the apparatus according to the invention comprises elements for feeding a plurality of trays, which are arranged substantially horizontally and so that their corresponding cavities are directed upward and are distributed in a line along at least one advancement direction, along which at least one unit for filling at least one of the trays at a time and at least one unit for applying covering elements to the filled tray in order to obtain a package are arranged; the application unit can move in a reciprocating fashion along the advancement direction between an initial configuration, which substantially coincides with the longitudinal position at which the filling of the tray ends with respect to the advancement direction, and a final configuration, which is advanced with respect to the initial one, the filling unit being movable in a reciprocating manner toward and away from the longitudinal end filling position.
