    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus (19) and a method for portion packing of pouched products for oral use. The present invention further relates to a pouched product for oral use (201). The apparatus comprises a first feeding unit (23) for supplying a web (25) of packaging material (7), a forming unit (31) for forming a tubular web (32) of the packaging material with a predeterminable cross-sectional shape, a second feeding unit (27) for supplying a filling material (29) into the tubular web, a sealing unit (35) for providing the tubular web with a series of transverse seals (40a, 40b) by repeated transverse sealing, the transverse seals having a length (I) corresponding to a collapsed cross-sectional shape of the tubular web, two subsequent transverse seals being interspaced by a repetition distance (d), and a separation unit (36) for separating the pouched products for oral use (43) from each other in or at the transverse seals, wherein the sealing unit is configured such that the length (I) of the transverse seal is greater than or equal to the repetition distance (d).
