This has the advantage that the cardboard boxes always pass through the folding device approximately in the middle and the folds can be made approximately the same from approximately the middle of the first conveying direction.
  • the device is further characterized in that the folding device may have two folding stations, wherein the one folding station is designed for folding and optionally gluing the front edge of the cardboard and the other folding station for folding and optionally. Gluing the rear edge of the cardboard is formed.
  • the two folding stations are arranged one behind the other in the first conveying direction such that the folding station for processing the rear edge in the first conveying direction is arranged downstream of the folding station for folding the front edge.
  • the cardboard can be brought through a clever interaction with the shuttle devices efficiently through the folding device, since, for example, during processing, so folding and / or gluing, the front edge handover of the cardboard can be done from one to the other shuttle and after the processing of the leading edge is completed, the cardboard can be conveyed with the other shuttle device to the folding station for the trailing edge wherein the one shuttle device can be moved back to its original position after the transfer, so that it is already available for gripping the next cardboard box available.
  • the cardboard boxes in the defined position in the first conveying direction centered in the folding device can be introduced. In this way it is possible to process the cardboard boxes particularly advantageous and with constant machining quality.
  • the device is designed so that the cardboard boxes are conveyed out of the folding device in the first conveying direction with respect to a substantially stationary reference edge.
  • devices such as filling stations or the like, which are arranged downstream of the folding device, so that the cardboard boxes or these devices always aligned the same in relation to the substantially stationary reference edge (ie in the first conveying direction) go through.
  • This has the advantage that, for example, in the case of a filling device, operators of this device do not have to change their position in dependence on the dimensions of the cardboard or cardboard in order to fill these or these. In this way, an ergonomic workplace can be created with the aid of the device according to the invention particularly advantageous.
  • the loading unit and / or the folding device are movable substantially perpendicular to the first conveying direction.
  • the cardboard boxes of the folding device always optimally deliver and on the other hand always deploy the cardboard boxes or boxes from the folding device optimized.
  • the loading unit may be part of a loading device, wherein the loading device may be configured to convey the cardboard in a second conveying direction, which is substantially perpendicular to the first conveying direction, at least to the stop.
  • the efficiency of the device increases in addition, since a plurality of cardboard can be arranged one behind the other on the feeder and conveyed to the stop.
  • the cardboard boxes of at least one stack can be applied to the loading device by means of a transfer device, in particular a transfer device sucking from above.
  • a transfer device in particular a transfer device sucking from above.
  • the at least one stack is arranged at arbitrary defined locations in the surroundings of the charging device, wherein, in particular, a plurality of stacks can be arranged one behind the other or side by side.
  • a plurality of stacks can be arranged one behind the other or side by side.
  • the device 10 has for this purpose a folding device 12, through the cardboard 11 in a first conveying direction 23 (in Fig. 1 indicated by an arrow) can be promoted.
  • a loading unit 14 is arranged from the folding device 12.
  • the loading unit 14 is designed to align cardboard boxes 11 with a stop 16 transversely to the first conveying direction 23.
  • the stop 16 and the folding device 12 are adjustable relative to one another in such a way that the cardboard boxes 11 can always be arranged in a defined position in front of the folding device 12 and thus introduced into the folding device 12 can be.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates this, as shown in this two substantially similar cardboard boxes 11, one of which is shown on the loading unit 14 adjacent to the stop 16 and the other is shown already introduced into the folding device 12.
