Abstract (en)
A machine (M) includes an endless close-looped conveying line (1): in a loading station (S1) the tubes (3) are fed while being kept with the open end upwards and are carried to an infeed station (SA) in which product dispensing means (5) feeds paste product to the tubes. In a following station (S2) overhanging gripper means (6) close the tubes (3), which are then downloaded from the conveying line (1) at a download station (S3) situated downstream and near to said loading station (S1). The gripper means (6) are designed in such a way that they have no mechanical means, requiring lubrication, which are situated above the tubes (3) and the product dispensing means (5) can be removed from the machine structure (100) to be cleaned and sterilised in a room away from the machine (M). <IMAGE>
