A packaging machine comprising an incomplete container forming device for forming a web into a tube, filling contents into the tube, thereafter transporting the tube by a length corresponding to one container at a time, sealing and cutting the tube transversely of the tube every time the tube is transported to obtain flat tubular incomplete containers, and discharging the containers as arranged in a row; a pair of container conveyors arranged at a lower level than the discharging position of the device, horizontally spaced from the discharging position by a specified distance and having respective transport paths spaced from each other by a predetermined distance; a complete container forming device for making the incomplete containers into complete rectangular parallelepipedal containers during transport on the conveyors; and a transfer device for receiving the row of incomplete containers as discharged from the incomplete container forming device, dividing the row into two rows and delivering the two rows alternately to the respective container conveyors.

Packaging machine

A packaging machine comprises a device for forming incomplete containers by forming a web into a tube, filling contents into the tube, thereafter transporting the tube by a length corresponding to one container at a time, and sealing and cutting the tube transversely thereof every time the tube is transported; a container conveyor for receiving the incomplete containers from the device and transporting the containers; and a complete container forming device for making each incomplete container into a complete rectangular parallelepipedal container during transport on the conveyor. A drive device for use in the machine comprises a main shaft coupled to the incomplete container forming device so as to transmit power thereto, and a transmission shaft having one end connected to the main shaft by a main clutch and the other end coupled to a motor by a secondary clutch, the transmission shaft being coupled to the conveyor so as to transmit power.
