The invention relates to a cartoning machine comprising: a store unit for cardboard blanks; means for picking the blanks from the store unit; an unfolding station for forming boxes with the blanks; a conveyor for the blanks to the unfolding station; a feeding station for the products destined for the boxes; an insertion station, in which the products are inserted into the boxes; an exit station for the filled boxes; wherein between the insertion station and the exit station there is a paddle conveyor that moves downstream the filled box (C). The paddle conveyor is provided with a plurality of paddles connected with moving means controlled independently of each other, wherein the paddles are mounted on three pairs of flexible members motorized independently of each other.

Cartoning machine comprising: a store unit (M) for flat cartons or blanks (F); a blank feeding station (E); an unfolding station (SR) for forming boxes; a feeding station (A) and an insertion station (N) for the products to be packaged. At least two guide blades (202L, 202R) and folding members (206, 207) are arranged in the insertion station (N) for folding the side flaps (PSL, PSR) of the blanks inwards. The blades (202L, 202R) are connected to means which control their positioning in the open position and respectively in the closed position for disengaging the internal faces of said flaps (PSL, PSR). The blades are moved in such a way that, after inserting the products in a box, they are placed in the closed position and subsequently, while the box is moved towards the exit of the machine, they are placed again in the open position for a pre-established time.

Cartoning machine comprising: a store unit (M) for cardboard blanks (F); an unfolding station(S); a feeding station (A) for products (RC) to be packaged. Means for picking the blanks from the store unit by moving them along a picking direction (DP), a conveyor (CB), and means for transferring the blanks from the store unit to the conveyor are arranged between the store unit and the unfolding station. The transfer means comprise a dragging unit (T) and a compartment (VR) below the dragging unit, provided with unloading means (VR2). The dragging unit comprises an active zone (ZY) with means (T1, T2) which can be selectively activated and deactivated suitable for engaging the blanks and moving them along said picking direction. The collection compartment comprises a front wall (VRA) and a rear wall (VRB) whose positions are adjustable with respect to said direction (DP).

A pill carrier for the intermediate transport of pills in a blister packaging process, wherein the pill carrier has a base body and a plurality of recesses, wherein the respective recess is limited by limiting walls and exhibits a bottom opening, wherein a receiving body is provided in the respective recess, the receiving body exhibiting a receiving space for receiving one or a small number of pills, the receiving space exhibiting an opening on one side which allows the pill to be introduced into the receiving space, and the receiving body being arranged in the recess so as to be pivotable about a pivot pivotally mounted in the recess, wherein the receiving body can be pivoted from a closed position, in which the opening is located opposite a limiting wall and is thereby closed, into an open position, in which the opening is at least partially aligned with the bottom opening.
