A horizontal forming device, in particular for horizontal flow pack machines, comprises at least one, in particular roller-free, forming unit (), in particular a forming shoulder, which is configured for forming a packaging material web (), in particular a paper web, into a packaging material tube (), the forming unit (-) comprising at least one folding edge (-) around which the packaging material web () is deflectable, and comprises at least one form-guiding unit (-), in particular a further forming shoulder, which is configured for further guiding the packaging material tube () transversely to a run-in direction () of the packaging material web () at the forming unit (-) while maintaining an, in particular homogeneous, material tension generated by the forming unit (), wherein the horizontal forming device comprises at least one support surface (), in particular a work plate, on which products () that are to be packaged can be transported, the forming unit (-) and the form-guiding unit (-) being arranged on sides (--) of the support surface () that face away from each other, wherein the form-guiding unit (-) comprises at least one form-guiding contour (-), which is configured to support the guided packaging material tube () in order to implement a maintaining of the homogeneous material tension.

Horizontal forming device

A horizontal forming device, in particular for horizontal flow pack machines, comprises at least one, in particular roller-free, forming unit, in particular a forming shoulder, and comprises at least one support unit, which are configured for forming a packaging material web into a packaging material tube, wherein the forming unit and the support unit together delimit a guiding gap which the packaging material web can be guided through, the horizontal forming device further comprising at least one compensation unit, which is configured to movably support the forming unit and/or the support unit in such a way that, at least during a forming of the packaging material tube, the forming unit and the support unit are movable relative to each other, in particular in order to enable a compensation movement of the forming unit and/or the support unit relative to each other during a forming of the packaging material tube.
