In an apparatus for packaging piece goods, a piece-goods article of a first type (A) and a plurality of piece goods of a second type (B) are introduced into a common pack. The apparatus has a first conveyor ( ), for feeding piece goods of the first type (A), a second conveyor ( ), for feeding piece goods of a second type (B), and a packing station ( ), for forming a flexible tube ( ). It also has at least one feed station ( ), from which the piece goods of the second type (B) are deposited by means of the second conveyor ( ) such that the piece goods of the second type (B) are located one above the other at least in part and form first groups. In each case one of these first groups is deposited on a piece-goods article of the first type (A) from the second conveyor ( ) by conveying means ( ), this resulting in the formation of a second group, which is introduced into the flexible tube ( ). Force-applying means ( ) are provided here in order that the second group maintains its shape as it is introduced into the flexible tube ( ). The apparatus makes it possible for non-stackable piece goods of different types to be transported together and packaged together in a tubular bag. In particular it is possible for flat masses of noodles, together with bags of sauce and spices located thereon, to be packaged in tubular bags.

Apparatus and process for packaging piece goods

A packaging foil is continuously withdrawn from a supply. The foil is folded around the products to be packaged. Cut-off lengths of closing profile sections are inserted with a feed unit between the two longitudinal edges of the foil. In a sealing station, the two longitudinal edges of the foil are sealed together and the foil is then sealed onto the closing profile sections. In another sealing station, transverse sealing seams are formed between the free ends of successive closing profile sections and the tube is cut approximately in the center of the transverse seams. A high packaging output is achieved as a result of the continuous withdrawal of the foil.

Method and device for producing bags with three sealed edges and welded-in closing seal

An apparatus for advancing and uniting first and second components into respective single items, includes a first conveyor for supplying the first components in a series; a feeding device for supplying the second components in a series; a second conveyor adjoining the discharge end of the first conveyor; a plurality of first carriers mounted on the second conveyor for receiving a respective first component from the first conveyor at the discharge end thereof; and a plurality of second carriers mounted on the second conveyor for receiving a respective second component from the feeding device. The second carriers are in alignment with the respective first carriers for advancing the respective first components and the respective second components together and in alignment with one another; and a device for uniting a first component with a respective second component during advancement of the first and second components by the second conveyor.

Conveyor for combining two-component items

An apparatus for forming groups of superposed, flat items, includes a conveyor having a transporting device traveling in a conveying direction along a generally horizontal working flight; and a plurality of upstanding pusher fingers secured to the transporting device. A plurality of storage chutes are serially positioned above the working flight for holding items in a superposed stack therein. An item-retaining device is situated at a lower, item-discharging end of each chute. The item-retaining device includes a component defining an item-retaining surface for retaining the items in the chute by supporting a lowermost item of the stack. Each pusher finger is arranged for travel through the item-discharging end for pushing all items forming part of the stack in the chute and being situated in a path of travel of the pusher finger, off the item-retaining device and for advancing the items in the conveying direction along the working flight. A height-adjusting device sets the component into different selected positions for changing a vertical distance of the item-retaining surface from the working flight to vary a number of items forming part of the stack in the chute and being situated in the path of travel of the pusher fingers.
