    摘要: An apparatus and method for evacuating and sealing a bag (133) made of a sealable material and containing a charge (134) of a comminuted or other flowable product, such as roasted and ground coffee. The bag (133) is positioned with its open upper end around a sleeve (12) through which a hollow probe (14) can be extended. A pair of upper jaw members (UJ) close to form an outer temporary seal about an upper region of the bag above an intermediate region of the bag which is also above the level of the surface of the charge (134) in the bag (133) where a permanent seal is to be formed. A pair of lower jaws members (LJ) close to form an inner temporary seal about a lower region of the bag below the upper and intermediate regions and above the surface of the charge (134) in the bag (133). With the probe (14) extended through the sleeve (12) into the bag (133), the bag (133) is evacuated through the probe (14). After evacuation is completed and after withdrawal of the hollow probe (14), a pair of sealing members (HJ) close against the intermediate region of the bag (133) in order to form a permanent seal for the bag (133). Provision may be made for bleed back into the bag (133), after evacuation thereof, of a small amount of a desirable material such as an aroma fraction or an inert gas such as CO2 or N2.

    摘要: A method is disclosed of forming a bag having a bottom seal from a web of sealable sheet material which is formed into a tube (12) by sealing opposite longitudinal edge portions of the sheet material one to another. The method comprises feeding the tube (12) in flattened form further along a feed path to a severing station (10), severing the flattened tube (12) in passage through the severing station (10) into individual flattened bag lengths (36) by passage between a rotary knife (26) and a counter blade (26′), feeding the individual flattened bag lengths (36) longitudinally along the feed path to a sealing station (11), and applying pressure, and possibly also heat, to opposite faces of an end portion of each flattened bag length (36) as it passes through the sealing station (11) by means of blocks (31) for a predetermined time which is longer than the period between severing that bag length (36) from the flattened tube (12) and severing the next bag length (36) from the flattened tube (12) while continuing to feed the flattened bag length (36) longitudinally along the feed path thereby to form a bottom seal (41) for the bag. Preferably the flattened tube (12) is formed with gussets (14, 15). The blocks (31) can be heated if the web is made of a heat sealable material. The heater bars (38, 39) for the gussets (14, 15) can be mounted on a different, more lightly spring loaded, mounting block from that for the heater bar (37) which forms the transverse bottom seal (41). By using rollers (24, 25) and making blocks (31) move slightly faster than the speed of the flattened tube (12) prior to severance of the bag length (36) it can be ensured that the bag lengths (36) are positively severed from the flattened tube (12) despite possible wear of, or damage to, the cutter blades (26, 26′). Registration of the printing on the web (12) so that the blocks (31) contact the web (12) in appropriate position to form the bottom seal (41) can be achieved, when the desired registration is disturbed, by temporarily varying the feed speed of the web (12) with respect to the speed of rotation of the rotary knife (26) so as to vary temporarily the lengths of the bag lengths (36) severed from the tube (12) until the desired registration is re-established.

    摘要: Infusion packets have envelopes of heat-sealable material with a looped thread within the packets to wring moisture from the packet in use. A central part of the thread loop is held in a widened region of one edge seal while the ends of the loop project through the opposite edge seal in which they are movable when the loop is to be contracted. The packets are produced by forming a continuous series of thread loops on one elongate web and placing doses of infusion material on a second elongate web before bringing the webs together with the thread loops and infusion material between them. The two webs are then welded together and the individual packets are separated from the joined webs.

    摘要: A process and apparatus are described for producing drawstring packets. The packets are produced by forming thread loops (L) with tags (T) attached to their ends and placing the packet web material (W) onto the portions of a the loops further from the tags. After securing the loops in their shaped form temporarily to one face of the web, the tags and the remaining portions of thread are placed on the other face of the web to be attached there releasably. In subsequent processing the secured loop portions lie inside the packets and the tags outside. The process allows relatively precise location of the loops so that packets can be produced with the loops in a peripheral channel (P) sealed from the contents of the packets but able to move to contract the package when the ends of the loop are pulled.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for manufacturing corrugated board comprising two layers of corrugated medium joined together in tip-to-tip registration of the two mediums, without an intermediate liner, and with at least one outer liner. Adhesive is applied to the tips of the two mediums, and the tips are brought together and held in contact with each other while the adhesive sets at least partially during conveyance of the mediums along a linear path.

    摘要: In security printing apparatus for attaching a foil imprint of predetermined shape to stock (10) such as bank note sheets, a tape (8; 108)) carrying foil to be printed and a layer of hot-melt adhesive is conveyed with the stock past a heated printing roll (2; 102). In order to allow high printing speeds the adhesive is at least partially activated by pre-heating just prior to printing. The pre-heating means may comprise hot air, radiation or heated guide means for the foil carrier web. Details of pattern or shape may be etched on the foil, either before or after printing, by means of laser beam, the details being defined by a mask moving with the foil.
