Abstract
A machine for the processing of packing containers of the type used for example for milk products. Such packing containers are manufactured from a filled material tube and are first given cushion-shape. With the help of the machine in accordance with the invention they are subsequently converted to a substantially parallelepipedic shape. The machine comprises a means of transport in the form of a wheel (35) having radial holding devices (37) for the cushion-shaped semi-finished products (2). The means of transport can be rotated step-by-step so that each individual packing container passes around processing stations (45-50) placed around the periphery of the means of transport for the folding of corner lugs, sealing and shaping.
