摘要:
There is described a feeding unit for feeding sealed packs of pourable food products to a folding unit configured to form folded packages from relative the packs; the feeding unit comprising a feeding conveyor adapted to receive packs at an inlet station of the feeding unit and to drive them to an outlet station of the feeding unit; the feeding conveyor comprising at least one push member movable cyclically and having a cooperating surface adapted to cooperate, in use, with a relative pack to push it towards the outlet station along a substantially rectilinear portion of an advancement path, wherein the cooperating surface has an involute-shaped profile. Furthermore, there is provided a corresponding method for feeding sealed packs of pourable food products to a folding unit.

Packaging material configured to be folded and sealed to produce a gable-top package for pourable food products comprises a web of material provided with a crease pattern along which the web of material is foldable. The crease pattern includes first and second transverse fold lines extending transversely across the material web, and a plurality of longitudinal fold lines extending longitudinally away from the first transverse fold line toward the opposite longitudinal end of the web of material, with adjacent pairs of the longitudinal fold lines defining respective walls of the gable-top package when the packaging material is folded and sealed. The crease pattern also includes a pair of oblique fold lines extending obliquely from the first transverse fold line to the second transverse fold line such that an area enclosing triangular panels is bounded by the oblique lines and portions of the first and second transverse fold lines.

摘要:
A folding assembly for producing a gable portion of a sealed package of pourable product, wherein the gable portion has first and second walls sloping with respect to each other and joined at a seal, and a flap connecting lateral edges of the first and second walls. The folding assembly is supplied with packs, each having an axis and, at one end and on opposite sides of the axis, two end portions which are folded to form the gable portion, with the end portions having, respectively, a first and a second portion to be folded, which are joined by a lateral face of the pack. The folding assembly includes a folding mechanism which interacts, on opposite sides of the axis, with the first and second portion of the pack to fold the second portion onto the lateral face, and the first portion onto the second portion to form the flap.

摘要:
A folding unit for producing sealed packages of pourable food products from respective packs, each having a main portion folded into a desired shape, and opposite end portions to be folded to form respective folded ends of a relative finished package. The unit has a first folding station, in turn having a first retaining mechanism for securing each pack by a relative first end portion, and a first folding mechanism for folding a relative second end portion of the pack. The unit also has a second folding station located downstream from the first folding station in the traveling direction of the packs, a second retaining mechanism for securing each pack by the relative folded second end portion, and a second folding mechanism for folding the relative first end portion.

A high-speed folding unit (1) for producing, from pillow-pack packets (3), sealed parallelepiped packages (2) containing pourable food products, the unit having a continuous conveyor (21) for feeding the packets (3) along a forming path (B); a number of folding devices (24, 25, 26) located along the forming path (B); a heating device (27) acting on fold portions (15, 16) of each packet (3) to melt and seal the fold portions (15, 16) onto respective walls (12, 11) of the packet (3); and a final pressing device (28) cooperating with each packet (3) to hold the fold portions (15, 16) on the respective walls (12, 11) as the fold portions (15, 16) cool; the folding devices (24, 25, 26) and the final pressing device (28) having a number of interacting members (44, 50, 55, 58, 70, 71, 72) interacting with the packets (3), and which are of fixed size, and cooperate with the packets (3) by virtue of the movement of the conveyor (21).
摘要:
A gable top package for pourable food products produced by folding and sealing a sheet packaging material and provided with a gabled top portion including front and back sloping top walls joined together at a top transversal seal, and a pair of side top walls connecting respective lateral edges of the front and back sloping top walls and obtained by folding respective portions of the sheet packaging material along predetermined crease lines delimiting a number of panels. The crease lines are determined among a plurality of possible crease lines designed so as the forming of the side top walls is performed by rotations of the panels as rigid bodies about their respective crease lines.
摘要:
A forming member for controlling the volume of packages of pourable food products formed from a tube of packaging material and sealed at a number of sections of the tube crosswise to an axis of the tube; the forming member having: a main wall which cooperates cyclically with a first portion of the tube extending between two consecutive sections; and at least one flap extending alongside the wall. The flap is movable, with respect to the wall, between a first position, in which it cooperates with a second portion of the tube, extending between the two consecutive sections, to control the volume, between the two consecutive sections, of the package being formed, and a second position, in which it is detached from the second portion.
