Forming station with guide wall

An apparatus for mechanically producing a three-dimensional packaging product from a web-shaped starting material, comprising:

• a forming station including:
• a convergence channel configured to transversely compress the starting material;
• a conveying device configured to draw off the starting material from a starting material supply arrangeable upstream of the forming station in a conveying direction, the conveying device including at least one drive and a motor configured to drive the at least one drive;
• and
• a mounting plate configured to guide the starting material entering the forming station on a guide side thereof facing the convergence channel, the at least one drive of the conveying device being rotatably mounted on the mounting plate and the motor driving the at least one drive being attached to the mounting plate, wherein two panels running towards each other and the mounting plate form an enclosure of the at least one drive and the motor.

• a conveying device configured to draw off the starting material from a starting material supply arrangeable upstream of the forming station in a conveying direction, the conveying device including at least one drive and a motor configured to drive the at least one drive;
• two turn-over cheeks extending towards one another in the conveying direction around, the turn-over cheeks being configured to turn over longitudinal edge strips of the starting material passing through the convergence channel;
• and
• a mounting plate configured to guide the starting material entering the forming station on a guide side thereof facing the convergence channel, the at least one drive of the conveying device being rotatably mounted on the mounting plate and the motor driving the at least one drive being attached to the mounting plate, wherein the turn-over cheeks are attached to a limiting wall of the convergence channel, the limiting wall and the turn-over cheeks being adjustable between an operating position, in which the starting material is transversely compressable as it is conveyed through, and a releasing position, in which the limiting wall and the turn-over cheeks are moved away from the mounting plate;
• and
• embossing and/or perforating station downstream of the forming station in the conveying direction, the embossing and/or perforating station being configured to connect, in an embossing and/or perforating zone, the turned-over longitudinal edge strips are connected to a central region of the starting material.
