Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3321197A1] The present invention relates to a multiformat box closing machine, starting from open boxes loaded with products, which comprises loading means, glueing means and closing means, wherein the machine allows for the closing of boxes that comprise at least one flap, or one upper side, and at least one support flange, for any cardboard box format, all with the same machine, without the need to change the orientation of the box during the closing thereof and at a higher speed than existing multiformat box closing machines, thereby saving stoppage times and the costs associated thereto, as well as to a multiformat closing method for boxes that comprise at least one flap, or one upper side, and at least one support flange, for any cardboard box format.
