摘要:
A device (3) for sealing and cutting a film (21) in a packaging apparatus (1) is provided. Further, a packaging apparatus (1) comprising the sealing and cutting device (3) and a process for sealing and cutting using the device are provided. The device (3) comprises first (31) and second (31) members, one or both of which are movable with respect to the other or one another. One of the members comprises an elongated blade (315) and one of the members comprises a cutting means (313a) , wherein the cutting means (313a) are positionable in a plurality of positions with respect to the respective member. The process comprises the steps of creating a first seal on a tubular film (21), thereby creating a semi-sealed package(22), creating a second seal (218) on the semi-sealed package (22), thereby creating a sealed package (23), and creating a substantially transversal cut in the tubular film (21), thereby separating the (semi) sealed package (22, 23) from a subsequent portion of the tubular film (21). The process further comprises the step of creating an incision (214) in a section of the first or second seal (218), the incision defining a pre-determined breaking zone (216) in the tubular film (21) of the sealed package (23).
摘要:
The invention relates to the reciprocating folders (6) used in packaging machines, packing machines and the like, particularly in cellophane wrapping machines, for folding on one side (103) of an article (3) to be packaged an edge (104) of a sheet (4) or slip of wrapping material, particularly of a material which is not much rigid and/or is easily charged with statical electricity. According to the invention, for preventing the folder (6) from dragging along, during its return stroke, the folded edge (104) of the sheet (4) or slip, one or more blowing nozzles (9, 109) are provided, and are oriented and arranged in such a manner that an air layer is generated between the folder (6) and the folded edge (104) of the sheet (4) or slip.
