A carton assembly machine for cartons (17) for packing articles (15, 15′), comprising means for feeding an unassembled carton in a feed direction, the said carton having a plurality of side flaps or panels (18, 19) whose folds are essentially parallel to the said feed direction folded onto a central portion (25) of the carton, the said machine further comprising a movable element (26) designed to move between a first position away from the route of the carton and a second position in which the said element is designed to be Inserted underneath, at an edge (27) of at least one of said side flaps or panels (19), so that the latter is raised with respect to the said central portion, in particular, in cooperation with the carton feeding.

A rule to be inserted into a die-board that is pressed onto a plate matter, the rule including: a multi-edge cutting blade having a cutting blade edge, the cutting blade edge divided into multiple sections with multiple spacings between the multiple sections; and a plurality of connecting pieces configured to fit into the multiple spacings and to provide support for the multiple sections of the cutting blade edge when the rule is pressed onto the plate matter.

A sheet folding device includes forming belts which are disposed on both sides in a transfer direction of a corrugated board and move to a center side in a width direction of the corrugated board toward a downstream side in the transfer direction to press both end portions in the width direction from an outside so as to bend both the end portions; and a gauge roller group including several gauge rollers which are disposed along the transfer direction and come into contact with outer sides of both bent portions in the width direction of the corrugated board bent by the forming belts. In the several gauge rollers, recessed portions are provided on outer peripheral surfaces of the gauge rollers in a circumferential direction. Positions of the recessed portions are disposed to be offset downward in a vertical direction toward a downstream side in the transfer direction.

A case erector may operate in multiple modes. In a slotted-case mode, the case erector may accept and erect slotted cases, while various plunger-case erection components are deactivated. In a plunger-case mode, the case erector may accept and erect plunger cases, while various slotted-case erection components are deactivated.

Provided are a slotter head, a slotter device and a box making machine comprising a cutter holder which is in a disk shape and is rotationally supported, a first cutting blade which is mounted to an outer peripheral portion of the cutter holder, a moving holder which is supported by the cutter holder movably along the circumferential direction, a second cutting blade which is mounted to an outer peripheral portion of the moving holder, a first drive device which rotationally drives the cutter holder, and a second drive device which rotationally drives the moving holder.

The technology described herein generally relates to particular form of folded package and the method of forming that folded package. The package packages loose particles into a conical container and secures the filling with a folded distal end. More specifically, loose plant matter, such as crumbled dried leaves, are supplied as filling and the package may further be provided with a fluid core.

A method of forming a container from a blank of sheet material using a machine is provided. The method includes forming a corner wall by folding a first pair of a plurality of reinforcing panels inwardly towards a respective side panel and into face-to-face contact with a second pair of the plurality of reinforcing panels, rotating the side panels and end panels to be substantially perpendicular to a bottom panel such that an interior surface of at least one reinforcing panel of the plurality of reinforcing panels is in contact with an interior surface of the first side panel, and coupling at least one other reinforcing panel of the plurality of reinforcing panels to one of the end panels to form the container.

Provided is a blank feeding/processing apparatus that includes a pressing unit for pressing a non-contact section of a conveyor belt to form an inclined section in the non-contact section when a box is folded. The apparatus for feeding and processing a blank having a plate shape, includes: a feeding unit including a lower feeding unit including a conveyor belt for conveying the blank and a plurality of feeding rollers for moving the conveyor belt, including a non-contact section that does not contact the feeding rollers in the conveyor belt, and arranged below the blank and an upper feeding unit arranged above the blank; and a pressing unit for protruding a tab of the blank to be processed, by applying a pressure in the non-contact section of the conveyor belt to form an inclined section in the conveyor belt.
