Furthermore, the pack is advantageously provided with side walls, in particular overlapping side tabs, which are connected on the one hand to the front wall and on the other hand to the rear wall.
  • a pack thus formed, open at the top during at least one phase of the production process or during filling, serves in particular as a stabilizing insert (inner collar) for a pack made of closed, thermally sealable film wrapping (sealing block).

  • the rear wall is held in an inclined position, so that the (complete) package contents via an extended inlet opening - free end opening of the package - can be inserted by insertion into the pack. This is then completed by further folding steps, in particular during transport.
  • the apparatus for producing the packages comprises a folding unit for folding the blank, a filling station for introducing the contents into the partially folded package, a completion station for finishing the filled package during transport and a removal unit for the finished packages.
  • the folding unit is preferably designed as a folding turret with pockets for receiving the partially folded blank and organs for temporarily creating an oblique position or spread position of folding tabs and walls of the blank for inserting the package contents. This is followed by a preferably linear conveying path, in the region of which the packing is completed, in particular with the supply of glue for connecting the side lobes.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif servant à fabriquer des paquets de cigarettes (20) présentant de préférence une paroi avant, une paroi arrière et des parois latérales. Des découpes (12) sont séparées d'une bande de matériau (14), amenées à un premier poste de pliage (33) et, après une première étape de pliage, reprises par une plieuse rotative (56). Une fois remplis, les paquets (10) en partie finis rejoignent la zone d'une unité de fabrication (35), essentiellement pour l'encollage des rabats et le pliage final de la découpe des paquets (10). Ces derniers sont ensuite transférés à un convoyeur de sortie transversal (36).
