Container for fluid, powder or granulated products

Method of packaging an edible product and a related confection unit

A system for moulding containers in thermoformable and heat-weldable material. The system includes a heating and welding station and a forming and shape-stabilizing station, with at least one welding and forming station in-between, producing progressive forming and shape-stabilizing of the containers.

Moulding of containers

A container or group of containers formed in thermoformable and heat-weldable material and including an inlet having inlet wall portions which are elastic so that the inlet is self-closing prior to permanent sealing. A blow-molding system for the manufacture of such containers or group of containers includes a forming station for forming a group of containers with respective inlets or a group of containers with a common inlet. A filling station is located downstream of the forming station.

Packaging

A machine for manufacturing, filling and conveying envelopes obtained from a heat sealable sheet material, comprising a first closed loop conveyor, a second closed loop conveyor the first and the second conveyors having drive means imparting a continuous motion of constant speed thereto a plurality of envelope forming and delivering sets arranged along an envelope accepting path portion of the first conveyor and in spaced relationship to each other and adapted selectively to deliver open envelopes to the first conveyor along the envelope receiving path portion thereof, the first conveyor having first gripper means carried thereon second gripper means on the second conveyor and arranged therealong in spaced relationship to each other, the second gripper means having a pair of gripper arms mounted on the second conveyor for oscillation about respective axes parallel to each other, thereby to allow the gripper arms to approach and move away from each other when the arms are oscillated to maintain the envelopes gripped by the second gripper means in stretched condition when the arms are oscillated in a position at a distance away from each other and alternatively in a position of smaller distance from each other, in which they partially crumple up laterally the gripped envelopes whereby the opening thereof is spread transversely, further conveyor means having mounted thereon devices for further spreading the envelopes, metering devices downstream of the further conveyor means for filling with produce the opened envelopes, and a welding device downstream of the metering devices.
