Abstract: This invention relates to a system for packing packaging units in packaging boxes, having for both substantially rectangular boundaries and a rectangle-shaped supporting surface, comprising the following components, a package feeding track for feeding the packaging units, a box feeding track for feeding the empty packaging boxes, a box discharge track for discharging the filled packaging boxes, a gripper head for engaging the packaging units and placing these from a pick-up portion of the package feeding track into the packaging boxes at a filling location of the box discharge track, and a control unit for executing successive packing cycles, wherein all movements of the moving components mentioned are performed in a single vertical plane, wherein the movement for placing the packaging units in the packaging boxes proceeds exclusively vertically. In particular, at least at the location where the packaging units are engaged with the gripper head, the pick-up portion of the package feeding track comprises a separate portion which is removable, while after removal thereof an opening is obtained through which the gripper, with engaged packaging units, moves down, places the packaging units in such a packaging box positioned at the filling location, and is moved back again to the position for engaging next packaging units from the pick-up portion in a next cycle, after which the separate portion is re-placed. With such a system, shorter handling times and greater automation are obtained.
