The invention relates to a welding unit (1) for the welding of film tubes for a waterless toilet, the welding unit (1) comprising welding jaws (2, 3), the welding jaws (2, 3) comprising welding means covers (4, 5), characterized in that the welding means covers (4, 5) are detachably arranged on the welding jaws (2, 3), in particular are detachably connected to the welding jaws (2, 3).

A bag-making and packaging machine includes sealing jaws, a horizontal moving device, a vertical moving device, and a control unit. The sealing jaws perform a transverse sealing operation. The vertical moving device moves the sealing jaws in a vertical direction. The vertical moving device includes a rotating shaft, a motor, and a link mechanism. The link mechanism transmits rotational force of the rotating shaft to the sealing jaws. The control unit performs first control or second control. The first control forwardly rotates and reversely rotates the rotating shaft during a period of time from a start of the transverse sealing operation to a start of a subsequent transverse sealing operation. The second control performs one of the transverse sealing operation and the subsequent transverse sealing operation with a forward rotation of the rotating shaft and the other with a reverse rotation of the rotating shaft.
