A device for arranging a closable pouring device with respect to a hole in the end of a pack includes a mandrel wheel which is rotated intermittently about an axis of rotation. The mandrel wheel is provided with four mandrels which project radially from a hub. Arranged in the region of the outer periphery of the mandrel wheel at angular spacings with respect to the axis of rotation is a set-down station and adjacent heating station, followed by a sealing station and a stripper station in such a way that the outer end of each mandrel is capable of engaging in a step-wise manner each of the stations successively.
