The invention relates to a sealing station in a film bag filling device for sealing of film bags after a filling process, wherein the sealing station comprises a first and a second sealing arm for sealing of several filled film bags that are arranged next to one another, wherein the first sealing arm is moveable with a first drive shaft and the second sealing arm with a second drive shaft. A servo engine is disposed on the first drive shaft, and a drive movement of the first drive shaft from a first gear wheel is transferred to a second gear wheel that encroaches in the first gear wheel and from the second gear wheel to the second drive shaft. The invention further relates to a method for sealing of film bags after a filling process with the sealing station according to the invention with the following steps: positioning of filled film bags below the sealing station; closing of the sealing arms and application of a contact pressure with a first value and sealing of the filled film bags.

Sealing station for sealing of film bags and corresponding method

An apparatus and method for forming and filling spout film bags which are transferred by a transfer wheel including blowing nozzles, to a filler arranged downstream of the transfer wheel. A blowing nozzle can be placed on the spout upper edge of the spout of a spout film bag and then a defined pressure pulse can be introduced into the interior of the spout film bag through the spout by the blowing nozzle to form the spout film bag. The apparatus can include a transfer wheel having a plurality of receiving stations and blowing nozzles assigned to the receiving stations, the blowing nozzles being able to be placed on the spout upper edges of the spouts in order to introduce a defined pressure pulse, and a filler, arranged downstream of the transfer wheel, for filling the formed spout film bags.

The invention relates to an inflating station for inflating of film bags with a first and a second suction bar arm and with an inflating bar with inflating spouts arranged on it. The first/second suction bar arm is movable with a first/second drive shaft. A servo engine is disposed on the first drive shaft. A drive movement of the first drive shaft is transferred from a first gear wheel to a second gear wheel and from the second gear wheel to the second drive shaft. Further, the invention relates to a method for inflating of film bags with this inflating station with the steps: positioning of the film bags below the inflating station; closing of the suction bar arms and application of a first contact pressure; horizontal displacement of the vacuum cups in a first direction, establishment of the contact with the film bag halves, formation of a negative pressure; horizontal displacement of the vacuum cups in a second direction, therefore opening of the film bags; inserting of the inflating spouts in the film bags; increasing of the contact pressure to a second value and subsequent inflating of the film bags by means of the inserted inflating spouts.

The present invention provides, in various embodiments, a rotary-type machine (M) for continuously sealing individual foil bags (B) by way of ultrasonic welding between an anvil () and a sonotrode () in at least one welding station (S) of a carousel (), where each foil bag (B) can be positioned by way of holders (). In some embodiments, the rotary-type machine (M) comprises at least one welding station (S) composed of a sonotrode () being located stationary at least relative to the direction of circulation () and anvils () which with intermediate spacings () rotate past said sonotrode () successively in the direction of circulation () of the carousel (). According to the invention, the foil bags (B) are sealed at the stationary sonotrode () when the anvils () equipped with the foil bags (B) are rotated past.

Rotary-type machine and method for sealing foil bags

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for passing a medium into a container, for example a flexible pouch, with a rotatable carousel and one or more treatment stations with a movable lance that can be inserted into the container, and a receptacle for a container, characterized in that an indirect magnetic drive means for moving the lance is provided, wherein a first part (lance part) of the magnetic drive means is joined with the lance and a second part (drive part) of the magnetic drive means is indirectly magnetically coupled with the lance part.

The invention relates to a device for receiving, transporting, and dispensing film bags, comprising a film bag magazine with multiple parallel magazine shafts and two circulating conveyor belt devices which can be driven independently of each other and which comprise film bag receiving areas arranged thereon, said conveyor belt devices circulating about two common axes. The two axes are designed to be drivable independently of each other, and each axis drives one of the two conveyor belt devices. The invention further relates to a method for receiving, transporting, and dispensing film bags by means of the device for receiving, transporting, and dispensing film bags.

Device and method for receiving, transporting, and dispensing film bags

A system for transporting an object between stations, for example, from a magazine to a conveyor is provided having a rotary apparatus having two arms, wherein a first arm rocks back and forth between two positions and a second arm rotates about an axis on the first arm. The second arm can be fixedly connected to a holder having one or more suction heads for grasping the object. Preferably, the holder is arranged parallel to the object and moved in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the object as the object is removed from the magazine. Additionally, the holder is preferably displaced above the conveyor and positioned to be parallel to the conveyor, after which the holder is moved toward the conveyor in a path that is perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor. Therefore, the lateral force, shearing force, and friction exerted on the object during removal from the magazine and deposition onto the conveyor can be minimized.

System for transferring objects

An ultrasonic welding apparatus is provided having an anvil preferably connected to a lever assembly. The lever assembly is preferably connected to a carrier via a holder, wherein the holder is pivotable with respect to the carrier, and the lever assembly is pivotable with respect to the holder. An urging device may also be provided to urge the anvil toward an ultrasonic hammer, more preferably away from the carrier.

Anvil for ultrasonic welding and device for ultrasonic welding

An apparatus for transporting objects may include a plurality of grippers having a first spacing at a first position and second spacing at a second position. A drive mechanism may be provided is for selectively displacing the grippers from the first position to the second position to adjust the spacing between the grippers.

Gripper device

A system for dividing an object flow can provide slides which are constructed and arranged to displace one or more objects at a time from the object flow toward a different location, preferably another object flow. The slides can be pivotal away from the objects being displaced, thus releasing the objects at the desired location, the slides being reusable as the slides revolve about one or more rollers to and from displacing the objects. Preferably some of the objects are displaced from the object flow at an acute angle with respect to the direction of conveyance, which can provide displacement at a lesser force.
