ABSTRACT:
A packaging machine is disclosed including transport elements adapted to receive articles, namely goods to be packed, packaging materials and auxiliaries and/or packages, said transport elements being movable along an endless conveying path past stationary work stations. The work stations act upon the articles in at least two different work directions. At each location where the working direction changes a turn station is provided in order to turn the transport elements in a position in which the articles may suitably be acted upon by said work stations. In a preferred embodiment the transport elements are formed by containers which abut each other by their side portions and are transported by a common push drive means reciprocating stepwise in the conveying direction by an extent each which corresponds to a dimension of the container. Time-consuming work stations which work slower than other work stations may be provided in multiple numbers at a correspondingly multiplied number of parallel conveyor sections. Transfer stations at the transitions from one-lane to multi-lane transport transfer the transport elements to and from the parallel lanes.
