Abstract
A packing station for fruit and vegetable products, including at least one line, configured to convey in series deformable enclosures which are kept resting on the line. The enclosures house a number of fruit and vegetable products and are open in an upward region at an end flap, which protrudes above the fruit and vegetable products, at least one preparation assembly for the end flap, which can move cyclically along at least one active portion of the line and is adapted to keep the end flap in a useful configuration, in which, while the enclosure is being conveyed while resting on the line, the flap is flattened to form two mutually opposite wings, and at least one device for the mutual heat-sealing of the wings, which operates at a predefined section of the active portion.
