Sequence of functions:
The flat crate blank is removed from the blank magazine and positioned exactly on the vacuum conveyor at the first machine station. At the second station, the crate is then precisely erected by the folding head and matrix and glued with hot melt adhesive. At the third station, the perforated sheet that takes the cups is folded and glued. Gluing the flaps of the perforated sheet to the bottom of the crate serves to stiffen the crate.
