Abstract

An apparatus for erecting and filling cartons comprises a conveyor (2) fed with skillets and along which the skillets progressively have their bottom ends closed, are filled with product and have their top ends closed. The apparatus is provided with adjustment means to adapt it to different sizes of carton, in height, depth and width, these means adjusting the gripping elements (10) that carry the cartons through the operating and at least some of the operating devices themselves.
