OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000000349 Boxing device Published: 2026-09-15T19:02:46.727890Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000000349 Categories: Material Handling > Package Handling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A boxing device has a box-moving section that moves a box with flaps from a supply position to a boxing position; a flap support section; and a pushing section. At the boxing position, articles are boxed in the box's opening. The flap support section supports the flaps. A pushing section pushes a group of side-by-side aligned articles into the box in the boxing position. Before the pushing section pushes the articles into the box, the box-moving section moves the box so that the box changes from a first orientation, in which the opening of the box faces sideways in the box supply position, to a second orientation, in which the opening of the box faces upwards in the boxing position. The flap support section supports the flaps as the box is moved from the first orientation to the second orientation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000000349 Published 2026-09-15T19:02:46.727890Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000000349
