Abstract:
A machine for intended use in feeding and completing partially formed cartons is disclosed. In one embodiment, the machine includes a conveyor with selectively actuated lugs that engage and convey the carton. The lugs on each conveyor may be closely spaced or overlapping to allow for selective actuation at a desired instant in time. A diverter located at a transition between the forward and return runs of the lug conveyor may actuates the lugs in a controlled fashion. Related methods of feeding and forming cartons are also disclosed.
