Abstract
A sealing and cutting device for forming bags containing products includes; a sonotrode for sealing a portion of a continuous tubular strip, feeding along a feed direction; a counterhead positioned facing the sonotrode; a movement system for moving the sonotrode and/or anvil between a first non-operating position, wherein the sonotrode and the anvil are apart, and a second operating position wherein the sonotrode and the anvil are in contact to simultaneously seal a head and bottom of respective bags. A cutting element includes a circular blade connected to a supporting and movement element which imparts a translational movement to the blade with a circular shape along a direction perpendicular to the feed direction of the strip. The anvil includes a slit from which the blade protrudes, for cutting the strip, by contact with the sonotrode in the second operating position, to separate a bag formed from the remaining strip.
