1. A packing machine for filling product into bags comprising:
at least one bag supply, at least one filling module with at least one filling nozzle and at least one bag removal; and
between the bag supply and the bag removal at least one transfer device is provided, which is configured to feed an empty bag from the bag supply to the filling nozzle and to separately feed a filled bag from the filling nozzle to the bag removal,
wherein the transfer device comprises a base body having at least a first gripper device to transfer empty bags from the bag supply to the filling nozzle and wherein the transfer device base body further comprises at least a second gripper device, separate on the transfer device from the first gripper device, to transfer filled bags from the filling nozzle to the bag removal; and, wherein the transfer device base body is rotatable for independently operationally engaging the first and second gripper devices relative to the bag supply, the filling nozzle and the bag removal so that the first gripper device attaches an empty bag to the filling nozzle for creating a filled bag, and, upon rotation of the base body, the second gripper device comes in contact with the filled bag on the filling nozzle and transfers the filled bag to the bag removal by rotation of the base body.
