  • the method according to the invention also makes it possible Packaging that includes glue is not yet complete is tied into the wrapping device, especially in a first folding turret, in the at least partially wrapped around the packaging will bring. As a result, it is no longer necessary to provide long drying sections or drying turrets or an additional hot melt adhesive that sets faster.
  • a fixation of the provided with non-set adhesive Packaging parts taking place is also an undesirable Avoid opening and closing these packaging parts. If preferably a process step of sealing or sealing the wrapping material is provided and if after this step also the fixation is solved, it is possible to few fixation elements use, particularly preferably after sealing or closing the wrapping material the fixation through the wrapping material itself.
  • the invention is further enhanced by a wrapping device of packaging of tobacco processing products Industry with a wrapping material comprising a Wrapping material in an engagement area with each a packaging-promoting transport device, a die each with the wrapping material at least partially wrapped packaging receiving device, and a the respective packaging in the engagement area and the feeding device conveying the receiving device is released, which is further developed in that mechanical elements for the packaging is provided, by means of which the packaging before Contacting the wrapping material from at least two sides is fixable, and that as a mechanical element at least a first Locking means is provided, by means of which at least one at least one side of the packaging, provided with adhesive, Packaging part in front of the engagement area, in the engagement area and at the Transfer is fixable in the receiving device.
  • the device according to the invention can dry sections or a drying turret can be saved or a another device by means of which a hot glue on packaging parts can be applied.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea of the invention from that packaging of tobacco products Industry that partially with incomplete tied glue, but already with one Wrapping material can be provided, provided that the packaging parts, those with partially incomplete setting Glue are provided until they are fixed by the wrapping material or until the glue has set sufficiently be fixed in their folded position.
  • At least two packaging parts can preferably be fixed. These two packaging parts are particularly preferred Side inside and outside tabs that are folded together are. If preferably at least a second locking device is provided, by means of which the at least one packaging part is fixable or the at least two packaging parts can be fixed is a particularly simple handover by the area of engagement of the packaging with the wrapping material possible.
  • the second locking device is preferably fixed here the same side or the same sides of the packaging.
  • the first locking device is preferably fixed terminable if the second locking device is the packaging part or fixed the packaging parts.
  • the fixation of the second locking device can be ended if the respective at least partially with Wrapping material wrapped packaging in a pocket of the Receiving device has been passed, is a maximum of one more Locking device of the device for wrapping packaging of products of the tobacco processing industry necessary, to fix the respective pack.
  • the fixation is preferably through at least one side of the bag Received device.
  • a third locking device is preferably provided, by means of a fixation of at least one to at least one further side of the packaging arranged with adhesive provided packaging part in the receiving device, in particular in a pocket of the receiving device, is possible.
  • the feed device preferably enables fixation at least one on at least one or the other side arranged in the packaging, provided with adhesive Packaging part at least during the conveying.
  • fixation at least one on at least one or the other side arranged in the packaging, provided with adhesive Packaging part at least during the conveying.
  • the particular are preferably arranged opposite, with corresponding Fix elements or devices. If preferred the fixation by the feeder after Fixation can be ended by the third locking device a quick procedure and a facility with as few elements as possible.
  • the third locking device is preferably a folding member, especially a sub-butterfly.
  • the known subfolders a further function, namely the locking of one side or at least one side of one Packaging, carry out.
  • a sealing device is preferably used for sealing one partially or completely with wrapping material wrapped packaging provided.
  • the sealing device preferably comprises a butterfly or on the way of packaging Sealing device is opened by means of an upper folder Part of the wrapping material folded.
  • the sealing device Preferably at an engagement or at the beginning of an engagement of the sealing device or the Oberfalter with at least partially, especially completely with wrapping material wrapped packaging the fixation of the third Lockable end.
  • the method according to the invention is preferably used if the adhesive is at least partially incomplete is tied so that the packaging parts such as Side tabs connected by folding were, without fixing or locking elements or a correspondingly designed transport device would open.
  • the invention Procedure applied when the glue between the side inner lobes and side outer lobes in the engagement area are not is completely tied up so that it would open.
  • one type of glue or glue is used, preferably a very good connection of the packaging parts allows.
  • a cold glue is preferably used for this Use.
  • the inventive device and the method according to the invention is no longer necessary Having to use hot melt adhesive.
