Abstract (en)
The packaging machine (1) comprises a first conveyor (2) arranged to discontinuously feed trays (3) for closure to two or more sealing units (4) disposed in-line. It comprises, upstream of the first conveyor (2), a second conveyor (5) connectable to a machine for filling the trays (3), and means (7) for transferring the trays (3) from the second to the first conveyor (5, 2), in such a manner that the trays (3) are fed continuously to the packaging machine (1) and are fed discontinuously to the sealing units (4). The tray packaging method consisting of conveying the trays (3) by a first conveyor (2) moving with discontinuous movement into sealing units (4) where they are closed. A predetermined number of trays (3) are fed in line to a second conveyor (5) which moves with unidirectional movement, these trays (3) being transferred onto the first conveyor (2).
