Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0516556A1] The present invention relates to a method and a machine for thermoforming and possible later packaging of containers. The machine according to this invention comprises stations (9, 10), for thermoforming containers, which are followed by a plurality of packaging stations (12, 13, 14) for, in particular, filling and closing the containers, and is characterised in that, upstream of the thermoforming stations, provision is made for a station (1) for cutting a strip (2) of thermoformable plastic material into successive strip portions (5) and in that the thermoforming and packaging stations are arranged around a plate (6) driven, step by step, in rotation and supporting strip portions (5). This machine applies, for example, to the thermoforming and packaging of cups made from plastic material which are to contain a foodstuff. <IMAGE>
