  • the machine 10 comprises adjustment means 128 for modifying the transverse spacing between each longitudinal rail 48 forming the guide path 44 on which the funds 2 of the boxes slide so as to allow, as for the transfer means 34 of the conveyor device 30, a simple and fast modification according to the different box formats 12.
  • the adjustment means 128 here comprises a steering wheel or a control crank 130 which drives in rotation a transmission chain 132 actuating a transverse shaft 134 acting by means of connection of the "screw-nut" type on the position of the rails 48.
  • the transverse spacing of the means carried by the rails 48 is also simultaneously adjusted.
  • the carriage 32 is arranged in the machine 10 transversely outside the packaging line 16, here offset laterally on the left side, so as to clear a space 136 located vertically below the packaging line 16 so as to facilitate access, especially from the right, to this zone of the machine 10.
  • the conveyor device 30 according to the invention thus arranged in the machine 10 is less sensitive to soiling than the chain-link conveyors according to the state of the art.
  • the dust and / or fine particles of cardboard from the body cutouts are a source of permanent fouling of the conveying device likely to cause interruptions in operation and demanding, at the very least, regular maintenance and cleaning operations.
  • the chain conveying devices are also directly exposed to being soiled or soiled by the very content of a product being packaged, which is particularly likely to spread on the chains, especially between the links.
  • drive means (not shown) of the transfer arm 20 are arranged in the machine 10 upstream of the storage magazine 18 or the first station A, so as to also protect these drive means from said dirt coming from them. dust and / or fine particles of cardboard and leave empty the space 136 under the packaging line 16.
