Abstract
An apparatus for attaching fitments a web of film. The apparatus includes an elongated tube, the web of film being passed around at least a portion of the elongated tube. A film puncher and remover for punching at least one hole in the web of film and removing the resultant slug is provided. The web of film passes between the elongated tube and the film puncher and remover. The apparatus also includes a fitment feed member for feeding a fitment from outside the elongated tube to a fitment pick-up position inside the elongated tube. The elongated tube also includes a fitment moving member for moving the fitment from the fitment pick-up position to a fitment attachment position. The fitment attachment position is located so that a portion of the fitment is received by the hole in the web of film. The apparatus also includes a sealer for welding the film to the fitment.
