Abstract (en)

In a machine for packaging bulk articles or groups of articles in a tubular envelope, a continuous sheet material (1) is placed around a sleeve (11) and conveyed by a pair of endless belts (18) to obtain a tube (4). A collar (12) is provided for guiding the continuous sheet material around the sleeve (11) while a welder (15) seals up the longitudinal edges of the continuous sheet material (1). A feeder (40) for feeding articles is situated beside the sleeve (11)- collar (12) assembly, which is mounted on a frame (7) together with the endless belts and the welder (15). The frame (7) rotates about a horizontal axis and brings the sleeve (ll) first to a horizontal position (H), in which the product or articles (41) are introduced therein, and then to a vertical position (V), in which the pack (5) is completed. <IMAGE>
