A flat film 11 is delivered from a supply roll 12 to a folding device with a tube forming part 17 and is folded into a tube envelope 23. The butt or overlap seam of the folded tube envelope 23 is covered with a sealing strip 14. The folded tube envelope 23 together with the sealing strip 14 is guided between a partial periphery of a sealing drum 2 and an electrically heated heating band 3 and is sealed under heat and pressure applied by the heating band 3. Electrical current is supplied to the endlessly revolving heating band 3 via feed rollers 6 and 7 from a current source 20 connected, via lines 21 and 22, to sliding contacts 8 which rest against the two sides of each feed roller. An endlessly revolving, cooled steel band 26 is in contact with the seam of the sealed tube envelope 18 and is guided around a cooling roller 9. The sealed tube envelope 18 is detached from the sealing drum 2 in the region of the cooling roller 9, and is guided over the cooling roller 9 and a deflecting roller 10 onto a wind-up roll 19.

Apparatus for continuous welding or sealing of seams of plastic films

A plastic pipe comprising an oxygen-impermeable casing, wherein the casing comprises a barrier layer for oxygen, and an adhesive layer adjacent to the circumferential surface of the pipe and attached to the circumferential surface by an sealed bond, wherein the casing surrounds the circumferential surface on all sides, and wherein the barrier layer is elastic, is substantially impermeable to oxygen and comprises a polyvinyl alcohol, a vinyl alcohol/ethylene copolymer, or polyacrylonitrile. Also disclosed is a process for the production of the pipe and a use of the pipe as a heating pipe.

Disclosed is a tubular packaging casing suitable for use as a sausage casing and a flat film for forming same, the flat film being shaped into a tubing and comprising cellulose hydrate, preferably fiber-reinforced cellulose hydrate. The edges of the flat film are bonded by means of a sewing thread, and in the area of the sewing thread, the packaging casing has an increased content of plasticizer and, optionally, also an increased moisture content. Furthermore, a flat film for producing the packaging casing is disclosed, which has an increased content of plasticizer and optionally also of water along its two edges.

Tubular packaging casing

Disclosed is a tubular sausage casing of a cellulose material having a longitudinal seam region whereat is located a smoke-permeable adhesive-containing layer of a substantially water-insoluble cationic resin which is a condensation product of a polyamide-polyamine, an aliphatic polyamine or polyamide with bifunctional halohydrin or derivative thereof. The casing also includes a coating on its inside surface of an oily emulsion having a first component comprising a water-soluble cellulose ether or a water-soluble modified starch, and a second component comprising an oil and an emulsifier. Also disclosed is a process for producing this casing and sausage products made therefrom.

Disclosed is a process and apparatus for forming a tube from a flat web by overlapping the edge zones of the web with one another or with a flexible strip while maintaining distance between the adhering, overlapping surfaces in order to provide horizontally straight edges, and thus a circumferentially constant diameter.

Disclosed is a bag adapted for lining the inside of a container, comprising side walls and a closed end wall comprised of a flexible synthetic resinous sheet material and an open end wall opposite to the closed end wall, wherein the inside circumference of the bag defined by the side walls becomes increasingly larger from an intermediate point on the side walls in the direction of the open end wall, while the outside circumference preferably remains substantially constant.
