Provided is an aseptic filling packaging machine that includes film feeder (), plug feeder (), welding devices (, and), sterilizer (), and filling packaging device (). Film feeder () feeds strip film (). Plug feeder () feeds plug () to a predetermined position of fed film (). Primary welding mechanism (), which serves as a welding device, temporarily welds plug () to the predetermined position of film (). Sterilizer () immerses filmhaving plug (), which has been fed from film feeder (), in a sterile liquid. While forming filmhaving plug (), which has been fed from sterilizer (), into a bag shape, filling packaging device () fills the formed film packaging body having the plug with content to seal it. In filling packaging device (), secondary welding mechanism () that serves as a welding device completely welds plug () to film ().

Aseptic filling packaging machine and aseptic filling packaging method

Filling and packaging machine () includes supply pipe () for supplying contents into film (), squeeze rollers () for feeding film () downward and horizontal seal mechanism () for sealing in the contents supplied into film (). Horizontal seal mechanism () includes heating unit () having a pair of seal bars for heat-sealing film () and cooling/cutting unit (), placed under the cooling/cutting unit, having a pair of cooling bars for cooling a heat-sealed portion of film. Cooling/cutting unit () is movable in a vertical direction so that the cooling bars can be positioned between the seal bars while the seal bars are opened.

Filling and packaging machine and process for producing package

Film supply apparatus () has two film holders () supporting two rolls of film as film () on a use side and film () on a stand-by side respectively, feed rollers () for feeding film () on the use side, film holding member () holding a leading end portion of film () on the stand-by side, sucker () pulling back film () on the stand-by side upstream in a feeding direction and heater bar () heat-sealing two films (). Sucker () attracts film () by suctioning and pulls film () back to a position where a leading end portion thereof faces heater bar ().

Film supply apparatus and filling and packaging system including the film supply apparatus

A film feeding device etc. in which, even if film rolls in which tapes are applied to joint between films of the rolls are used, an occurrence of a bag making failure caused by the tape is prevented. A film feeding mechanism (A) has a receiving member () for holding the leading edge of a film (B) of the standby side and a joining sealer () for joining films (A,B). A tape (B) applied to the film (A) on the use side is detected by a sensor (), and according to the result of the detection, a cutter () cuts of the film (A) at a portion on the downstream side of the tape. Then, the cut film (A) and the film (B) of the standby side are joined by the joining sealer (), and the two films joined are sent as a long film.
