Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9929571A1] A method and an apparatus for manufacturing containers by thermoforming synthetic material in film form and for filling them with a product comprising a step for producing containers by thermoforming at least one strip (3) which is composed of at least two mutually facing films made of heat-sealable synthetic material and in which pockets are formed between the two films, and a step for filling the pockets with a product. The thermoforming step is performed while the at least one strip (3) is arranged on a substantially vertical plane, forming as a whole at least two rows of pockets which are arranged substantially horizontally at mutually different elevations. The filling step is performed while the strips (3), each of which bears a row of pockets, are spaced laterally from each other and are arranged at mutually different elevations.
