The present invention relates to a device for transporting ready-cut and filled hose pieces within a machine for producing bags filled with brewable material, having at least one transport wheel which includes, distributed over its circumference, a plurality of holders each holding the bag, wherein an insertion station in which one of said hose pieces is inserted into said holder in a radial direction to form a bag with at least one chamber between a head and a bottom of said bag, a label feeding station in which a label is fed to said head, a connecting station, in which a thread is connected to the label and/or the bag, and a removing station, in which the bag is removed from the transport wheel, are provided distributed in the circumferential direction around the transport wheel.

Device and method for transporting ready-cut and filled hose pieces

The present invention relates to a device and a method for manufacturing a bag received in an envelope and containing a brewable material with a bag manufacturing means which is configured to manufacture a bag containing brewable material, and with a sealing station with a sealing jaw element and a counter-jaw element which act on the envelope from opposite sides to seal in the bag. The device is further developed for a reliable and safe manufacture of the packing unit consisting of a bag and an envelope by the sealing jaw element being fixed to a sealing jaw swivel arm at which a sealing jaw connecting rod is applied, and the counter-jaw element being fixed to a counter-jaw swivel arm at which a counter-jaw connecting rod is applied, and by the sealing jaw connecting rod and the counter-jaw connecting rod being each eccentrically connected to a common drive shaft of a servomotor. In the method according to the invention, the contact force between the sealing jaw element and the counter-jaw element is controlled via the torque of the servomotor actuating the sealing jaw element and/or the counter-jaw element.

The present invention relates to a method for the formation of stacks of packagings () by stacking infusion bags (), in which the infusion bags () are removed from a conveying stretch () on which the infusion bags () provided one behind the other are supplied to a removal station () in which the infusion bags () are removed from the conveying stretch () and are arranged resting against one another to form the stack of packagings () in a stack holding device () which is emptied when a number of infusion bags () forming the stack of packagings () has been reached, where the removal of the infusion bags () from the conveying stretch () is not interrupted when the stack holding device () is being emptied and at least one infusion bag () removed there is arranged upstream of the stack holding device ().

Method and device for the formation of stacks of packagings

The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing a pouch containing a brewable material accommodated in a wrapping, comprising a pouch manufacturing device adapted to manufacture a pouch containing brewable material, and a sealing station with jaw elements forming opposing sealing surfaces acting on the wrapping from opposite sides for sealing the pouch. The device according to the invention allows a more economical production of a packaging unit comprising a pouch in the wrapping and has a trough-shaped recess in which a helically laid heating conductor is accommodated.

Device for manufacturing a pouch accommodated in a wrapping

The present invention relates to a device for making a pouch received in a wrapping, comprising a pouch making device which is adapted to produce a pouch containing brewable material in a water-permeable wrapping, and comprising a sealing station with two sealing jaws movable relative to each other for sealing the pouch in a wrapping formed by a wrapping material. This device is characterized in that it comprises a pouch handling device for removing the finished pouch from the pouch making device and a wrapping material handling device for handling the wrapping material during the U-shaped wrapping of the wrapping material, wherein the handling device and the wrapping material handling device are adapted such that the pouch held by the pouch handling device and the wrapping material held by the wrapping material handling device are introduced into the sealing station.

The present invention relates to a device for transporting ready-cut and filled pieces of tube. In order to simplify the structural design of a device for transporting ready-cut and filled pieces of tube within a machine for producing double-chamber bags filled with brewable material, having a transport wheel, which has distributed over its circumference a plurality of double-chamber bag forming sets comprising a leading arm and a trailing arm and a profile part provided therebetween and being radially movable and supporting a bottom of a double-chamber bag, and which is rotatably mounted under a cover arranged in the vicinity of the upper vertex of the transport wheel, the present invention proposes that the arms are swivelably mounted eccentrically to the axis of rotation of the transport wheel and that the arms of adjacent double-chamber bag forming sets are swivelably mounted on a common swivel axis.

The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing a pouch containing a brewable material accommodated in a wrapping, comprising a pouch manufacturing device adapted to manufacture a water-permeable pouch containing brewable material, and comprising a sealing station with two sealing jaws movable relative to one another for sealing the pouch in the wrapping placed in a U-shape around the pouch, wherein the sealing jaws are configured to form longitudinal seals (L) lying opposite one another and a transverse seal (Q) extending transversely thereto on the wrapping, wherein at least one sealing jaw comprises first and second sealing jaw elements each configured to form one of the longitudinal seals (L) and a segment of the transverse seal (Q).

The present invention relates to a simplified device and a process-technically simplified and also more rapidly applicable method for transporting readily cut and filled hose pieces within a machine for producing pouches filled with brewable material. The device according to the invention has a transport wheel which has several supports distributed over its circumference, each holding a pouch which are pivotally mounted on the transport wheel. In the method according to the invention, a hose piece for forming a pouch with at least one chamber between a head and a bottom is inserted in the radial direction into a support of the transport wheel. In a removal station the pouch is removed radially from the transport wheel with the bottom leading.

The present invention relates to a pouch and a method for making the same. In the inventive method, which is adapted to produce pouches having a limited amount of fusible material, a heat-sealable cord is arranged on a web forming confronting side surface of each pouch. Those confronting side surfaces are fused by heating the heat-sealable cord. The present invention furthermore provides a pouch, in particular containing a brewable or extractable commodity such as tea, with a pocket defined between confronting side surfaces of a web. The pouch of the present invention can have a limited amount of fusible material as the confronting side surfaces are joined by solidified melt of a heat-sealable cord arranged in vicinity of at least one edge of the pouch.
