The packaging machine has: a housing; an infeed belt configured to feed an article to be packaged in a transport direction to a film packaging device in the packaging machine; and a weighing device configured to determine a weight of the article. The weighing device has a weighing belt configured to convey the article from the weighing device to the infeed belt in the transport direction. The weighing device is rigidly connected to the infeed belt. The weighing device and the infeed belt together form an infeed module that is removeable from the housing.
