Abstract
A thermo-forming packaging machine having a machine frame and a film advance device for gripping one side of a film web and for transporting the film web through one or more workstations in the thermo-forming packaging machine. The film advance device may be provided only on one side of the machine frame allowing the present packaging machine to utilize packaging film webs of different widths. The thermo-forming packaging machine may also include an alignment device to align an edge of the packaging film with the film advance device. The thermo-forming packaging machine may also include one or more counter supports to prevent the film from being displaced by a forming tool lower part of the forming station.
