A method for monitoring a tubular bag machine having a drive control system and independently controlled electronic drive units controlled by a drive control system for driving functional elements of the packing machine in a cycle time-synchronous manner in predefined motion sequences, one drive unit being a transverse sealing unit with a drive motor and two transverse sealing jaws for transversely sealing a film tube, and the drive motor torque measured using a drive controller, and the drive motor position measured using a position sensor, the method including moving the film tube into the sealing zone between the transverse sealing jaws, closing the jaws according to a predefined target torque stored in the drive control system, measuring the actual position of the drive motor upon reaching the target torque, and comparing the measured position to a target position stored in the drive control system associated with the predefined target torque.

Method for monitoring the function of a tubular bag machine

A method for operating a tubular bag machine with a drive control system and multiple electronic drive units controlled independently of each other for driving functional elements of the packing machine in a cycle time-synchronous manner through predefined motion sequences, one drive unit being a transverse sealing unit with a drive motor driving two transverse sealing jaws for transversely sealing a film tube, and at least conversion functions for converting the drive torque and the position of the drive motor into the sealing force between the transverse sealing jaws being stored or calculated in the drive control system, the method including determining the operating temperature of the transverse sealing jaws, selecting or calculating a conversion function as a function of the operating temperature, using the temperature-dependent conversion function in calculating the drive torque of the drive motor required to reach a desired target sealing force between the transverse sealing jaws.

Method for operating a tubular bag machine and tubular bag machine

A tubular bagging machine in which expanding elements projecting away from the fill pipe are provided in order to create bags with welded edges. A separate longitudinal welding device for welding of an area adjacent to the edge of the tube is provided. It is thus possible to produce directly side-by-side a longitudinal seam and a welded edge. A bag-opening aid or a reclosing aid can be integrated into the longitudinal seam or the edge.

Tubular bagging machine

Bags with welded edges are created by a vertical tubular bagging machine. The bags are flat on top and are relatively wide at the bottom. Only one edge-welding device to create a top seam is provided on one side of the fill pipe. Two edge-welding devices on the opposite side of the fill pipe are used to create two bottom seams stabilizing the bag.
