The device according to claim 3, wherein the deformation element presents a fork shaped end portion mounted and designed to operate between the handling means and the intermediate pick-up and transfer station. 5. The device according to claim 4, wherein the deformation element comprises a lever supporting the fork-shaped end portion and is rotatably mounted on and connected to an oscillating handling means driven and controlled by the control unit; wherein the oscillating handling means causes the deformation element to move in an oscillating fashion, wherein the fork-shaped portion oscillates between a non-operative position in which the fork-shaped portion is away from an area where the filter bags are released and an operative position in which the fork-shaped portion strikes either one of an upper portion or top edge of the defective filter bag, in a manner wherein the defective filter bag is folded and deformed. 6. The device according to claim 4, wherein the expelling means comprises an expeller element for expelling the defective filter bag and is mounted and designed to operate downstream from the deformation element along the production line and is controlled by the control unit. 7. The device according to claim 6, wherein the expeller element comprises a pusher head connected to an end of a shaft mounted on a frame and, controlled by the control unit, moves between a non-operative position in which the pusher head is away from the handling means and an operative position in which the pusher head is close to the handling means and contacts a lateral surface of the defective filter bag, wherein the defective filter bag is expelled. 8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the expeller element has means for blowing fluid towards the defective filter bag, wherein the blowing means comprises a pair of through holes formed in the pusher head and connected to a pressurized fluid source directed at the lateral surface of the defective filter bag. 9. The device according to claim 8, wherein a collection station is located near the expeller element for collecting defective filter bags expelled from the handling means. ox flap and the box flap securing device can then be moved to the closed position so that the box flap securing device can be selectively rotated to secure the box flaps in the closed position, the post having a rectangular cross-section. 2. A box flap securing device as defined in claim 1, wherein the top member and the bottom member are spaced a distance apart which is less than two times the thickness of one box flap. 3. A box flap securing device as defined in claim 1, wherein the edge of the bottom member has a planar configuration. 4. A box flap securing device for securing two opposing box flaps of a box in a closed position, the box flap securing device comprising: a bottom member having an edge; a top member; a post connected to the bottom member and to the top member, the top member being disposed in an overlying relationship with the bottom member whereby the bottom member, top member and post cooperate to define a box flap receiving slot sized to receive one of the opposing box flaps, the post having a rectangular cross-section at a location positioned to engage at least one box flap. 5. A box flap securing device as defined in claim 4, wherein the edge of the bottom member has a planar configuration. 0, Leppert; US-6050044, 20000400, McIntosh, 052/591.1; US-6050873, 20000400, Reisman; US-6088987, 20000700, Simmons et al., 052/592.6; US-6161357, 20001200, Altemus, 052/592.6; US-6162108, 20001200, Frederiksen n; (c) a rotatably-mounted excavating auger mounted on the chassis in the excavation work area forwardly of the rear portion of the chassis, rearwardly of the forward portion of the chassis and intermediate the first and second dri
