Device for producing tubular bags sealed on multiple sides
View Patent ↗A device for producing tubular bags sealed on multiple sides, the device including a forming shoulder for deforming a plane film web into an envelope web and a forming tube surrounded by the envelope web, the forming tube having, adjacent to a forming shoulder outlet, fins for forming film overlap areas, and a film guide having first and second film guide elements, each of which is associated with one of the fins.
1. A device for producing tubular bags sealed on multiple sides, the device comprising a forming shoulder for deforming a plane film web into an envelope web, a forming tube which is surrounded by the envelope web, and a longitudinal seal former which surrounds the forming tube and which has a film guide for forming film overlap areas extending in the transport direction of the film web and which comprises a heat sealer for forming longitudinal sealed seams in the film overlap areas, the forming tube having, adjacent to a forming shoulder outlet, a number of fins for forming the film overlap areas, the number of fins corresponding to the number of longitudinal sealed seams, and the film guide having first and second film guide elements, each of which is associated with one of the fins, each fin being disposed between a first and a second film guide element in such a manner that a double guide gap is formed, the first and second film guide elements being adjustable independently of each other in terms of their position relative to the fin, the first film guide elements are each displaceable in at least a first axial direction X 1 on a first axis, and the second film guide elements are each displaceable in at least a second axial direction X 5 on a second axis, the first axis being different from the second axis.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first film guide elements are disposed on a forming tube support, the first film guide elements being disposed on a bracket which is disposed displaceable in at least one axial direction on the forming tube support.
3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the first film guide elements are disposed displaceable in at least one axial direction on the bracket.
4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the second film guide elements are disposed on the longitudinal seal former, which is connected to the forming tube support, the second film guide elements each being disposed on a sealing ridge of the longitudinal seal former.
5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein in order for the second film guide elements to be displaceable the sealing ridges of the longitudinal seal former are disposed displaceable on the longitudinal seal former.
6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein in order for the sealing ridges to be displaceable, two sealing ridges are disposed displaceable in terms of their relative position on each sealing ridge support, the sealing ridge support being disposed displaceable on the longitudinal seal former.
7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing ridges are disposed displaceable on a first axis in a positioning plane perpendicular to the transport direction of the film web and the sealing ridge support is disposed displaceable on a second axis perpendicular to the first axis.
