A method and a machine for the manufacture

The packing container blanks are advanced intermittently during the processing and filling between the differnt stations, which means especially in packing machines with several conveying elements, that the driving unit of the machine will be unevenly loaded and that the working of the machine will be uneven and jerky. To overcome this the driving of the different conveying elements takes place asynchronously in accordance with a similar but mutually offset pattern of movement. The one conveying element (6') will then be at standstill during the advance of the second conveying element (6") and vice versa. As a result, the driving unit obtains an appreciably more uniform torque curve so that uneven operation and consequent wear and noise can be prevented.
