Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for forming cartons comprises feeding means, including a pivoted suction cup and cooperating vacuum belt conveying means, for individually feeding carton blanks to a forming means. Such forming means comprises a rotary table having a plurality of female forming dies radially positioned thereon. A ram-type male die is reciprocally mounted above the table to cooperate with each forming die to form the carton blank into tray form. Gas burner type nozzle means are mounted adjacent to the table to discharge heated air onto partially folded corners of a polyethylene-coated carton blank prior to when it is fully formed in the forming die. After the corners are compressed and sealed, stripping means engage the formed carton to move it onto a discharge conveyor.
