Abstract

A packaging machine comprising a sealing station with a sealing tool, a side frame and at least a first as well as a second upper protective cover respectively for placement onto a top side of the side frame during the manufacturing operations, wherein each of the two protective covers form a body with a lid, multiple side walls as well as a bottom. In one embodiment, the two protective covers can be stacked on one another, wherein at least one of the two protective covers forms at least one stack stop on the lid to which an edge of the floor of the other protective cover can be coupled in a removable way if the two protective covers are stacked on top of one another. In one embodiment, the packaging machine may be a deep-drawing packaging machine or a tray-sealing machine.
