Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a forming device (42) for feeding along a forming path (B) a pack (3) which has at least one portion (6) to be folded into a finished package (2). The forming device (42) comprises a first surface (46a) and a second surface (46b) opposite to each other and adapted, in use, to cooperate respectively with a front wall (15) and a rear wall (10) opposite to each other of the pack (3) to be folded. The first surface (46a) comprises an at least partially concave forming section (8) adapted, in use, to cooperate with a top portion of the front wall (15) of the pack (3), such that an inward deformation of the top portion of the front wall (15) is prevented during forming of the pack (3). The invention also relates to a folding unit (1) for forming sealed packages (2) of pourable food products, to a method for forming a pack (3) which has at least one portion (6) to be folded into a finished package.
