Abstract
A machine to produce filled packages having transverse seals at the top and bottom thereof created by severing a seal area between formed packages by cutting blades the position of which can be adjusted during running of the machine to vary the heights of the transverse seals. The adjustment of seal is caused by movement of a sliding bar member which causes the chain drive of the cutting mechanism to rotate in one direction or the other to move the cutting point of the blade relative to the uncut seal between adjacent packages.
