Автор: Gianmario Anghileri
Принадлежит: Novacart Spa

A method of manufacturing containers of paper material for foodstuffs, in particular pastries, wherein the container comprises a single sheet portion of flexible paper material defining a flat bottom wall and a side wall emerging from the bottom wall. The container has a side wall comprising, in section, at least one curvilinear stretch ( 10 ) for defining a rounded or convex conformation of the side wall. The method contemplates a first step for making the bottom wall ( 2 ) provided with an upper surface ( 2 a ) and a lower surface ( 2 b ), and a side wall ( 3 ) emerging from the bottom wall ( 2 ) in such a manner that in cooperation with said bottom wall it defines a holding region ( 21 ) whose bottom consists of said lower surface ( 2 b ), and a second step of overturning the side wall on the opposite side relative to the bottom wall ( 2 ) for defining a cavity ( 7 ) having an upwards facing opening in the normal use position of the container.

A dosing bag filled with dry additive material is made using a dissolvable starch-based film. When the dosing bag with its contents are introduced into a mixture with water, it dissolves and releases its contents. The dosing bags are made in a chain. In this manner, any number of the dosing bags can be removed from the chain for use. The dosing bags are made from film material that is formed into a tube structure. While the tube structure is being partially filled, a section on the interior of the tube structure is shielded from contamination. After the partial filling, the tube is heat sealed closed in the area that was previously shielded. The shielded area is clean of contaminants and enables a high-quality seam to be formed. The shielding, filling, and sealing process is repeated multiple times to create the chain of dosing bags. 1.

A bag loading and sealing system and method in which a continuous web of bags is continuously moved along a line. The web of bags is slit open to expose the interior of the bags and the bags of the web are separated from each other by a rod engaging perforated lines of separation between the bags. The open tops of the bags define a pair of flaps, each of which is gripped by a gripping chain, the paths of which diverge to form a mouth at the top of the bag. Material is deposited into the bag through the mouth and the gripper chains then converge to close the bag. The bags are transferred to gripper belts, with the top edge of the bag being slit off between the belts and the bags being transported through a hot air sealer where the remaining portions of the top of the bags are melted and fused together. A spool-type take-up winder is provided to retrieve the portion of the bags trimmed from the tops thereof. 1. A bag loading and sealing system , comprising:a continuous web of bags sharing a common tubular top strip;a first station having a slitting blade for slitting said tubular top strip into a pair of opposed linear strips, and a gripper associated with each of said pair of opposed linear strips for gripping, opening and transporting said bags by each associated linear strip;a transport and filling section in which an open mouth of each said bag is exposed for receiving material; anda sealing section, sealing said linear strips together and thereby sealing each of said bags with material therein.2.

A continuous web of closed, preformed end-to-end bags for enclosing bales of material are made by forming an elongate sheet into a helix tube, flattening the tube into first and second elongate bag walls and securing the bag walls at closure seams located along the flattened helix tube. The helix tube is formed by nesting the elongate sheet side edges into U-shapes and sewing. The bag walls are secured to one another by nesting them into U-shapes and sewing. Bales are enveloped by severing the web and thereby providing a bag with an open end, separating the bag walls, inserting a bale therein, closing the bag and severing from the remaining web. Each bag is located along the web with a pair of sensors which provide a locating signal responsive to the bag closure seams. 1.

The present invention is a method for producing an elongated protective layer for the shape-forming material of a blank, in which a protective layer is applied onto a web fed base material or sheet base material. The protective layer is applied beyond the edges of the web fed base material or sheet base material on one side or two sides in order to form a free edge that is not fastened to the base material. The multi-layer material is then cut or punched along the outline of a blank. In the places where an elongated protective layer is produced, the cutting or punching is done directly along the free edge, taking into account a margin for the elongated portion of the protective layer of the blank. The invention protects the end faces of a material for a shapeable container. 1. A method of production of a package workpiece in which a protective layer is applied to the frame roll or sheet material to obtain a forming material, which is distinguished by the fact that a protective layer is applied outside the frame roll or sheet material on one side or both sides to form a loose edge, not attached to the frame material, carry out die-cutting or cutting of multilayer material along the contour of the workpiece, in places of obtaining an elongated protective layer die-cutting or cutting is carried out directly at the freely lying edge, taking into account the allowance for elongation of the protective layer of the workpiece.
