The invention relates to a method for producing tubular bags made from plastic film or from composite film having a plastic layer on the bag content side, having a self-cutting plastic closure attached to the tubular bag, consisting of a spout part having a fastening flange, a cutting body, which is movably guided in the spout part, and a screw cover having means for activating the cutting body. The film material (5) is supplied from a supply roll to a bag manufacturing machine and the plastic closure is sealed onto the film material in a spout region of a tubular bag. According to the invention, the film material (5) is thinned on the inside of the bag in a ring-shaped region, which is intended for cutting by the cutting body, by means of a thermal embossing process. The plastic closure is then positioned and sealed onto the film material such that the cutting organ embedded in the spout part can become effective in the thinned, ring-shaped region upon use thereof.

An inductor for induction welding of a packaging material having at least one layer of metal foil is disclosed. The inductor comprises a welding surface configured to be arranged opposite the packaging material for heating thereof, and at least one spacing element arranged to protrude from the welding surface in a first direction towards the packaging material, when the packaging material is arranged opposite the welding surface, whereupon the least one spacing element separates the packaging material from the welding surface by an off-set distance. A sealing machine for sealing packaging material and a method of welding a packaging material is also disclosed.

A composite product having a junction structure includes a first unit formed of a composite material, a first connector formed of a metal and provided with one end inserted into one end of the first unit and formed integrally with the first unit and another end extending outwards from the first unit, a second unit formed of a composite material, and a second connector formed of a metal and provided with one end inserted into one end of the second unit and formed integrally with the second unit and another end extending outwards from the second unit, wherein the other end of the first connector and the other end of the second connector are joined and fixed by welding under a condition that the ends of the first unit and the second unit are opposite each other adjacently.

A container is provided with a flange defining a container opening that may help expunge food product as the film and seal head comes down on the container flange. The flange of the container opening has a predetermined angle. The container flange with its sealing surface generally deflects or angularly pivots when sealed with the film during the sealing process. The container flange and film may push product contamination from the sealing surfaces inwardly into the container. The flange may be continuous about the periphery of the container opening.

A method for manufacturing tubular bodies (1) exhibiting an inner circumferential surface (8) and outer circumferential surface (7) for packaging tubes out of a strip-shaped film substrate (2), which exhibits at least one weldable plastic layer (3) or consists of the latter, and which encompasses a first edge face (5) extending in the longitudinal direction of the film substrate (2) or a second edge face (6) spaced apart from the first edge face (5) by the width of the film substrate (2), wherein the first edge face (5) runs at a first angle (α) relative to a first thickness extension direction on a first radially innermost border (9) of the first edge face (5), and the second edge face (6) runs at a second angle (β) relative to a second thickness extension direction on a second radially outermost border of the second edge face (6), and wherein the first and second edge faces (6) are placed opposite each other and joined together during exposure to heat, wherein the first angle (α) and second angle (β) differ in size, in that the selected first angle (α) is smaller than the second angle (β) by an angular difference of between 3° and 70°, and that the edge faces (5, 6) are situated in such a way that an outwardly open longitudinal gap (11) is delimited by the first and second edge faces (5, 6).

The disclosure relates to a power-transfer unit for a sealing unit of a packaging machine comprising a support, intended to be attached to a sealing unit, a power bar comprising a contact-initiation section, a contact-termination section, and an intermediate section therebetween, the power bar being resiliently suspended in the support and being movable along a first direction being normal to a contact surface of the intermediate section. The power bar is suspended in the support by a first leaf spring.

A device and method for the fluid-tight sealing of two partially overlapping packaging components, one being a tubular base member formed from a blank of composite cardboard/plastics material, and an additional packaging component forming the upper packaging portion or packaging base, having at least one mandrel and one die, the mandrel having at least two expansion elements which are moved from the operating position thereof towards each other into a rest position, the expansion elements having sealing jaws which, in the operating position thereof, form a closed circumferential outer contour, which corresponds to an inner contour formed by an opening in the die, there remaining between the inner contour and outer contour a narrow annular gap in order to apply a pressing force from the inner side to the overlap region of the packaging components.

The invention relates to a method for producing flexible tube bodies (18) for packaging tubes from a film substrate (1) which has a print, preferably on an outer side (2), and which has or consists of at least one weldable plastic layer and which comprises a first longitudinal edge side (8), which extends in a longitudinal direction, and a second longitudinal edge side (8′) parallel thereto and spaced apart therefrom, wherein the film substrate (1) is shaped by shaping means (23) to form a tube, and the two longitudinal edge sides (8, 8′) are in particular welded to one another with the formation of a longitudinal weld seam, wherein a strip (12) is arranged, in the region of the abutment point and/or of the longitudinal weld seam, in the interior (17) of the film substrate (1) shaped to form the tube and is connected, in particular welded, to the longitudinal edge sides (8, 8′) at least in certain regions or portions. According to the invention, prior to the formation of the longitudinal weld seam, at least one longitudinal edge side (8′) is shaped, in particular cut, in such a way that, in the film substrate (1) shaped to form the tube, the longitudinal edge sides (8, 8′) bear against one another, in particular in abutting fashion, radially only in the region of the outer side (2) with at least one tip (9) formed by the shaping operation.
