  • a part of the slip-on device 8 namely a plug-on head with a slip-on device and a gripper device and with a positioning stop for supplied valve sacks, seen in the longitudinal direction 14 in different positions can be brought.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shows a first position A at a certain distance from a filler neck 6 in solid lines and a second position B at a smaller distance from a filler neck 6 in dashed lines.
  • the second position B with which a shorter flight phase is connected than in position A, is suitable in particular for attaching valve bags, which have a relatively smaller width seen in the longitudinal direction 14, compared with other valve bags of greater width, which are preferably supplied in position A of the plug-on head.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shown
  • Aufsteckkopf 16 is on a stationary machine frame 18, whose position relative to the packing machine 4 is fixed, held displaceable in the longitudinal direction 14, for example by means of a linear guide.
  • a support surface 20 for receiving a valve bag is further arranged, on which a valve bag either individually or in the form of a stack of several valve bags can be stored by a feed device, not shown.
