Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for continuously producing, handling and filling bags ( ), especially bags for handling by automatic machines, formed from a thermoplastic line of film. The aim of the invention is to facilitate handling in the logistical sequence between the bags ( ) being produced and being filled and to improve the quality of the bag stacks ( ). To this end, the bags ( ) are attached ( ) in places, then held in place in the area of a packing machine by holding elements ( ) which interact with suspension holes ( ). The attachment ( ) on the bag stack ( ) is then removed, after which the bags ( ) are filled. The filling movement releases the bags ( ) from the holding elements ( ) and the bags ( ) are finally sealed. The bags ( ) are advantageously separated by a clamping and pulling-apart apparatus located in the area of the packing machine.
