Abstract (en)

The machine comprises a conveyor belt (2; 41) having means (3), such as holes for determining the position of the objects on it, and means (14, 15, 16, 17) to supply a continuous web (1; 41) of honey comb shaped packaging material above the conveyor belt (2; 41) and to slide that material over the objects lying on the belt. As a consequence most of the cells of the packaging material are filled with an object. The filled packaging material is divided into pieces of certain length and the machine may be provided with an apparatus (22) for packing these pieces into boxes.
