· The filled folding cartons (with frozen products) are handed o ver from two lanes,

lying flat with the broad side leading

· Sensors detect in the infeed whether the cartons are aligned correctly

· The products are aligned on two grouping conveyors and positi oned in front of the cross pushers

· To ensure reliable pre-grouping, a gap is created using a pro duct clamp and follow-up control

· The cross pushers move the aligned products onto a centrally arranged stacking plate

· According to the required format, the specified layers are for med here

· The stacked folding cartons are taken over by the infeed devi ce and transferred to a cross pusher

· The cross pusher forms the required rows for the bundle and p ositions them in the infeed device

· The blank is taken from the magazine and positioned in the in dexing chain

· The indexing chain transports the U-shaped erected blank to t he loading station

· The infeed device pushes the formats into the blank positione d in the loading station

· During the continuous process, gluing and flap folding take pl ace
