Abstract
An apparatus for sealing and cutting a hose-like wrapper having serially arranged filled pockets and transverse zones therebetween includes oppositely rotating, cooperating clamping shoes between which the wrapper passes for pressing together and transversely sealing opposite wrapper walls in the transverse zones by providing a seam therein. A knife is secured to one of the clamping shoes and a backup support is secured to the other of the clamping shoes. The knife has a first cutting edge cooperating with the backup support for transversely separating wrapper packages from one another by providing a severing cut in each transverse zone. The knife further has at least one second cutting edge adjacent the first cutting edge for providing a cut in each transverse zone adjacent the severing cut to facilitate a manual tearing-open of the seams.
