Provided are a method and an apparatus for extruding into a tube and filling the tube at a high speed and simultaneously sealing the tube. Specifically provided is a method for producing a polymer tube, containing a liquid therein and being sealed at constant intervals, the method including an extrusion step of continuously melt-extruding a polymer material through a die into at least one tube, while feeding a liquid into the tube to obtain at least one liquid-containing tube; and sealing step of discontinuously pressing the at least one liquid-containing tube between a pair of pressurizing members at constant intervals to cause pressure-bonding before the tube solidifies, while continuously taking up the extruded tube.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for sealing a secondary battery. The apparatus comprises: a sealing member thermally fusing and sealing a sealing surface of a pouch in which an electrode assembly is accommodated; and a cooling member cooling the sealing surface.

Shown and described is a device for the drying of packaging, in particular composite packaging for foodstuffs, including: a conveyor belt with cells for receiving the packaging, and at least one drying facility for drying the packaging. In order to achieve particularly efficient drying of the packaging, it is envisaged that the drying facility has at least one contact element with at least one contact surface. Also shown and described are the use of such a device for the drying of packaging filled with foodstuffs, method for drying packaging, and a packaging for foodstuffs.

A method of sealing a foil liner to a hot-filled container includes the steps of aligning a liner engagement surface of a seal head with a liner sealing surface of the container when the container is in a first position, wherein at least a peripheral margin of the foil liner is disposed between the liner engagement and sealing surfaces of the seal head and the container, respectively; applying heat between the seal head and the container to heat and attach the foil liner and the sealing surface of the container, resulting in a sealed package; rotating the sealed package from the first position to a second position; and applying fluid onto at least a portion of the sealed package to cool a head space of the sealed package. The head space is disposed between an inner surface of the container and a product packaged in the sealed package.
