Method for controlled changeover of a container treatment machine having a plurality of RFID reading devices, a control unit and one or more treatment modules, every treatment module having a plurality of remote indicators, and one or more exchangeable handling parts equipped with RFID transponders for unambiguous identification, including displaying, via the remote indicators, predetermined target identifiers for the handling parts which are transmitted by the control unit; displaying, via the remote indicators, actual identifiers for the handling parts that are retrieved from the RFID transponders via the RFID reading devices; comparing respective actual identifiers for the handling parts with respective target identifiers therefor, and signaling when a change of the handling part is required if the actual identifier deviates from the respective target identifier, or signaling that a handling part is correctly used if the actual identifier corresponds to the respective target identifier.

Method for the controlled changeover of a treatment machine

An apparatus for packaging articles in a box blank which has folding lines and also side flaps and/or lid flaps and/or base flaps. The apparatus includes a device for feeding a stream of articles, a device for dividing up the articles into groups and/or assemblies of articles, a device for feeding individual box blanks to the groups of articles and/or for combining the groups of articles and the box blanks, and a device for forming a box and for folding in the side flaps by folding-in elements, which rotate about an axis which is more or less perpendicular to the conveying plane and/or conveying direction of the box blanks. The folding-in elements each have at least one pair of folding-in devices, which can be moved in a common plane and which can be moved and/or controlled and regulated independently of one another. A method and a folding element is also provided.

Apparatus and method for packaging articles

An arrangement of several machine assemblies (). The machine assemblies are arranged in a way that the material flow between the machine assemblies () is at least technically mutually coupled. The machine assemblies are subsequently arranged to form treatment stations and/or processing stations of a machine () for processing, treatment and/or filling of containers. A method for coupling several machine assemblies (). The assemblies are subsequently arranged to form treatment stations and/or processing stations of a machine () for processing, treatment and/or filling of containers.

Arrangement and method for coupling several groups of machine assemblies of a container processing device

A packaging module for wrapping packs or article groups with packaging film. The packs or article groups to be wrapped are transported in an upright position on a horizontal conveying device to a packaging station. A film wrapping device includes at least one wrapping rod extending perpendicular to the transport direction and is guided on both long sides of the horizontal conveying device by continuous traction devices. The continuous traction devices each includes guiding sections that define the position and the deflection of the continuous traction device. The corresponding guiding sections of the two parallel continuous traction devices are adjustable pair wise in the same direction in their vertical and/or horizontal position and/or in their angular position about a pivot point.

Packaging module for packs or groups of articles to be wrapped in film

A packaging machine and a device for monitoring a roll with film material wound thereon is disclosed. By means of a sensor arrangement, an end of the film material on the roll may be detected. The sensor arrangement includes at least one optoelectric sensor arranged stationary relative to a front side of the roll. The optoelectric sensor is designed such that a portion of an outer circumference of the rotating roll may be detected.

Device for monitoring rolls of film material wound thereon and packaging machine

A method for formation of a compacted arrangement of articles to be packaged within a packaging machine, whereby the group of articles come into contact with and is guided through the packaging machine via at least one profiled bar, at least in a partial section of its transport route, which comes into contact with an end face of the group of articles and in doing so at least some of the articles of the group are pushed together in the compacted arrangement. A device for implementation of the method for formation of a compacted group of a plurality of the same type of articles to be packaged. A symmetrically or asymmetrically profiled thrust bar for transforming a group of articles being conveyed in a horizontal direction into a compacted arrangement.
