Provided is a bag making apparatus with a simple configuration that: prevents fluctuations in tension, slippage of seal positions, and meandering or skewing of a web of film; allows the setting of precise initial conditions; reduces or makes unnecessary monitoring, and time and structures for adjustment; allows increased feed rate; and improves production efficiency. The bag making apparatus for packaging containers comprises: a tension control unit for controlling the continuous feed rate according to the values detected by a tension sensor of a tension detection roll; an optical detection unit for simultaneously recognizing multiple marks provided on the surface of the web of film at the respective positions thereof; a skewing correction unit; and a seal position correction unit for adjusting the positions of multiple sealing units in the feed direction.

A thermoforming packaging machine that includes a film holder for receiving a lower film supply roll and one behind the other in a sequential arrangement along a production direction a pretreatment station for pretreating the lower film web, a forming station for forming troughs in the lower film web by thermoforming, an insertion line for filling the troughs with products and a sealing station for sealing the troughs with a top film. A transport device is configured to transport the lower film web along the production direction through the pretreatment station, further to the forming station, further to the insertion line and finally to the sealing station. A deflection unit arranged at least partially below the pretreatment station is configured to deflect the lower film web before reaching the pretreatment station. The pretreatment station may include a punching or slitting unit to punch or slit the lower film web.

The present invention provides, in various embodiments, a batch feeder and a method for stocking and gravity conveying of piece goods made of flat material. A feeder pit comprises an upper opening for inputting the piece goods in batches, a lower opening for extraction of the piece goods, and at least two lateral pit delimitations, which are located opposite to one another, for guiding of the piece goods. As carrying structures for supporting the piece goods on one side, that are arranged on top of each other as floors and that protrude into the feeder pit, are formed on at least one of the pit delimitations, the piece goods can be retained alternatingly on the carrying structures in an easy way and move up respectively for each floor.

An automatic bag loading system includes a transfer arm configured to grab a bag and transfer the bag from a conveyor a bag gripper, which then rotates the bag to a filling station. The system further includes a detection device to detect a location of a leading edge of the bag between the conveyor and the bag gripper.

The invention relates to a packaging machine for producing a packaging (20) from a paper-containing web material (2) and a covering web (3), comprising a first pre-tensioning device (4) for pre-tensioning and stretching the web material (2) in a transport direction (16) of the web material, a second pre-tensioning device (5) for pre-tensioning and stretching the web material (2) in a second direction (17) transverse to the transport direction (16), a shaping device (6) for producing a depression (21) in the web material (2), wherein the depression (21) is designed to receive a filler, a filling device (7) which fills filler into the depression (21), a covering web device which provides the covering web (3) in order to provide a cover (31) for the depression (21), a fixing device (10) which fixes the covering web (3) on the web material (2), and a discharge device (8) which discharges the produced packaging out of the packaging machine.

The present invention relates to a method for processing a covering roll sheet (20) of a package, wherein the covering roll sheet (20) covers a package body (51) in the manner of a lid, comprising the steps of: drawing the covering roll sheet (20) off an endless roll (22), tensioning the covering roll sheet (20), determining an offset between a first marking on the covering roll sheet (20) and a second marking (34) on the package body (51), and stretching the covering roll sheet (20) in a manner dependent on the determined offset between the first marking (33) and the second marking (34).

A waste disposal device comprises a container having an opening at a top end, the container defining an inner cavity accessible through the opening. A bag interface at the opening is adapted to hold a bag opened at the opening of the container with a closed end of the bag extending in the inner cavity. A pair of doors is pivotally connected to the container to open and close access through the opening and adapted to close off a portion of the bag passing therebetween, the doors being pivotable from a closed position in which the doors meet to close the access through the opening, to a first pivoted position in which the doors are pivoted away from the inner cavity, and wherein One of both doors is or are pivotable to a second pivoted position toward the inner cavity. An actuation mechanism operatively connected to at least one of the doors to bias the at least one of the doors to the closed position.

A system and method for performing a splicing operation where the splicing apparatus is configured to orient the web to ensure the two sealing sides are presented to each other and the splice is always made on one side of the web.

Sorting module for bags checking machines, of the type that are installed before the bag can enter the checking machine comprising driving means that activate the module, and in that comprises: a pressure roller (102) that puts pressure on the bags (1) as they pass through under said roller (102), which has an ascending and a descending motion, a first input roller (101) connected to conveyance means (4) of the checking machine and to the pressure roller (102), and at least one automatic or manually-operated diverter element (103) positioned bellow pressure roller (102), which has at least two positions, a first upward position that blocks the passing of the bags towards the conveyance means (4) and guides the bags towards another predetermined destination, and a second downward position that defines a passage (105) formed by the conveyance means (4), said diverter element (103) blocks the passing of the bags (1) towards the other predetermined destination and guides the bags (1) towards the passage (105).

In an example embodiment, an apparatus for making pouch products includes a conveyor system. The conveyor system includes a first receiving location along a path of the conveyor system, and a dosing location along the path of the conveyor system.
