Container for pouches of smokeless tobacco

A machine for packaging fiber material comprises feed means () supplying predetermined portions of fiber material () in an ordered succession, compacting means () by which the portions of fiber material () are compacted initially, a feed station () to which packs () are supplied for filling with the fiber material (), a filling station (D) at which the fiber material () is inserted into the packs (), and a closure station (E) located downstream of the filling station (D), at which the filled packs () are sealed. The machine further comprises fiber material () compressing and forming means () by which each of the portions of fiber material () is maintained in a state of compression downstream of the compacting means () for a prescribed interval of time, in such a way that the selfsame portion of fiber material () is caused to assume a compact geometry of tablet-like form prior to its insertion into the respective pack ().

Machine and method for packaging fiber material

In a machine () for manufacturing pouches () filled with portions () of a tobacco mixture, comprising a rotating drum () on which a continuous stream () of the mixture is formed and conveyed to a station () where the portions () are divided from the stream, and where the portions () are transferred by a pneumatic ejection and feed system () to a wrapping station (), moisturizing substances are added to the mixture by a dispensing system () associated with the ejection and feed system ().

Machine for manufacturing pouches containing a tobacco mixture

A duct () applicable to a container () presents a connecting portion () with four substantially flat connecting surfaces () and a internal bridging surface () by which the side walls () of the container () are joined seamlessly to a spout () afforded by the duct (); the bridging surface () is contoured in such a way that a flow of liquid food product can be directed through the spout () without becoming trapped and stagnating between the duct () and side walls () of the container ().

Pouring spout for a container and container provided with such a spout

A container () for liquid products fashioned from at least one blank of multi-layer paper material comprises an essentially parallelepiped body () with four side walls (), and a top section () presenting four angled faces () that converge toward a tubular element () providing a spout () from which to pour the liquid contents. The tubular element () also presents four tags () designed to interact with the top section (); the tags function as anchors insertable between and weldable together with the corresponding edges () of the blank to form joined areas () serving as both closure and reinforcing elements in the finished container ().

Container

Containers () for food products are manufactured employing a system that includes a feed station () supplying a succession of tubular elements (), and a heat sealer () positioned to close and secure a first open end () of each tubular element () that coincides with the base of the container. The sealing operation occurs at a station associated with a conveyor () consisting in a wheel () rotatable in a feed direction (B) along a path (P) passing both through the feed station () and through the station occupied by the heat sealer (). The tubular elements () are carried by radial elements () of the wheel () such as can be indexed between a first operating position, where the tubular elements () are taken up from the feed station (), and a second operating position in which the open end () is offered to the heat sealer ().

System for forming containers

A system () for manufacturing containers () is designed around a supporting structure () with which all the stations () and the devices () needed to produce the containers are associated. The system () is equipped with a feed station () supplying a forming material (), a scoring station () by which crease lines () are generated, and a cutting station (), combining to prepare a succession of blanks (). The system () also includes a prefolding station () where each blank () is bent initially along the creases lines (), a folding station () where the single blank () is fashioned to the shape of the container (), and a sealing or welding station () at which the shape of the container () is fixed definitively.
