Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Formen, Füllen und Verschließen von jeweils eine Ausgießeinrichtung aufweisenden Verpackungsbehältern nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs.The invention relates to a device for molding, filling and closing each having a pouring device comprising packaging containers according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of the independent claim.

Eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist bereits aus der US 2003/0001002A1 bekannt. Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung werden Getränkekartons mit einer einen Strohhalm aufweisenden Ausgießeinrichtung hergestellt. Dabei wird die Ausgießeinrichtung in Überdeckung mit einem in einer Materialbahn ausgebildeten Loch an der die spätere Innenseite des Kartons bildenden Seite der Materialbahn angeordnet. Von der Außenseite des Kartons kann es vorgesehen sein, die Ausgießeinrichtung mittels einer Schutzfolie zu überdecken bzw. zu verschließen.A device according to the preamble of claim 1 is already known from US 2003 / 0001002A1 known.

Die bekannte Vorrichtung eignet sich nicht zur Verarbeitung bzw. zum Abfüllen von Füllgütern, die eine bestimmte Haltbarkeit aufweisen müssen bzw. bei denen eine Keimbildung verhindert bzw. verzögert werden muss, wie dies beispielsweise bei Milch oder ähnlichen Füllgütern erforderlich ist.The known device is not suitable for processing or filling of filling goods, which must have a certain durability or in which a nucleation must be prevented or delayed, as is required for example in milk or similar products.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Ausgehend von dem dargestellten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Formen, Füllen und Verschließen von jeweils eine Ausgießeinrichtung aufweisenden Verpackungsbehältern nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 derart weiterzubilden, dass auch Füllgüter verpackt bzw. abgefüllt werden können, die bezüglich ihrer Haltbarkeit bzw. Keimbildung kritisch sind. Gleichzeitig soll die Vorrichtung möglichst einfach aufgebaut sein und bei Betriebsstörungen nur geringe Ausfallzeiten aufweisen. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung zum Formen, Füllen und Verschließen von jeweils eine Ausgießeinrichtung aufweisenden Verpackungsbehältem mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der Erfindung liegt dabei die Idee zugrunde, durch die Verwendung einer Sterilisiereinrichtung, die außerhalb von Applikationseinrichtungen für die Ausgießeinrichtung angeordnet ist, die Materialbahn zu sterilisieren bzw. keimfrei zu halten, wobei der Zugang zu den Applikationseinrichtungen durch nicht erforderliche Schleusen o.ä. im Bereich der Sterilisereinrichtung besonders gut möglich ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, Justierarbeiten oder das Bestücken der Applikationseinrichtungen mit Teilen der Ausgießeinrichtung vornehmen zu können, ohne dass hierzu ein Eingriff in den Beeich der Sterilisereinrichtung erforderlich ist. Insbesondere wird damit ein zeitlich sehr kurzer Wiederanlauf nach derartigen Eingriffen ermöglicht.Based on the illustrated prior art, the present invention seeks to provide an apparatus for molding, filling and closing of a pouring device having packaging containers according to the preamble of Claim 1 in such a way that even contents can be packed or filled, which are critical in terms of their durability or nucleation. At the same time the device should be as simple as possible and have only minimal downtime in case of malfunction. This object is achieved in a device for molding, filling and closing each having a pouring device comprising packaging containers with the features of claim 1. The invention is based on the idea, by using a sterilizer, which is arranged outside of application facilities for the pouring device to sterilize the material web or keep germ-free, the access to the application facilities by not required locks o.ä. in the field of sterilizer is particularly well possible. This makes it possible to make adjustments or the loading of the application devices with parts of the pouring device, without requiring an intervention in the Beeich the sterilizer is required. In particular, this enables a very short restart after such interventions.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Formen, Füllen und Verschließen von jeweils eine Ausgießeinrichtung aufweisenden Verpackungsbehältern sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. In den Rahmen der Erfindung fallen sämtliche Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei von in den Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung und/oder den Figuren offenbarten Merkmalen.Advantageous developments of the device according to the invention for molding, filling and closing of a pouring device each having packaging containers are specified in the subclaims. All combinations of at least two of the features disclosed in the claims, the description and / or the figures fall within the scope of the invention.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Umformeinrichtung als Formschulter ausgebildet ist und, dass in der Formschulter ein Füllrohr der Fülleinrichtung angeordnet ist, durch das der Schlauch vor dem Bilden eines Kopfverschlusses an dem Beutel befüllt wird. Durch diese Merkmalskombination ist es möglich, die Beutel über einen wesentlich größeren Querschnitt zu befüllen, so dass eine wesentliche höhere Leistung der Vorrichtung erzielbar ist. Dabei kann der Füllquerschnitt nahezu dem Querschnitt des Schlauches bzw. der Beutel entsprechen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the forming device is designed as a forming shoulder and that in the forming shoulder a filling tube of the filling device is arranged, through which the tube is filled prior to forming a head closure on the bag. By this feature combination, it is possible to fill the bag over a much larger cross-section, so that a significantly higher performance of the device can be achieved. In this case, the filling cross section can correspond almost to the cross section of the hose or the bag.

Um einen einfachen Transport der Materialbahn, insbesondere auch über die Formschulter zu ermöglichen, sobald der erste Teil der Ausgießeinrichtung mit der Materialbahn verbunden ist, ist es weiterhin besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der erste Teil der Ausgießeinrichtung ein plattenförmiges Element umfasst, das das Loch in der Materialbahn vollständig überdeckt und, dass der zweite Teil ein Mundstück mit einem Deckelelement umfasst, das mit dem ersten Teil verbunden wird, insbesondere durch Ultraschallreibschweißen. Durch das in seiner Höhe relativ dünne plattenförmige Element ist es einfach möglich, die Materialbahn über die Formschulter bzw. die Einrichtung zum Formen der Beutel zu ziehen, ohne dass diese konstruktiv besonders aufwändig gestaltet sein müssen, damit sie nicht in Konflikt mit den ersten Teilen der Ausgießeinrichtung gelangen.In order to enable easy transport of the material web, in particular also via the forming shoulder, as soon as the first part of the pouring device is connected to the material web, it is furthermore particularly preferred for the first part of the pouring device to comprise a plate-shaped element which seals the hole in the Material web completely covered and that the second part of a mouthpiece with a Cover element comprises, which is connected to the first part, in particular by ultrasonic friction welding. Due to the relatively thin in height plate-shaped element, it is easily possible to pull the web over the forming shoulder or the means for forming the bag, without that they must be structurally particularly complex so that they do not conflict with the first parts of the Get pouring device.

Eine Anordnung der Ausgießeinrichtung im Kopfbereich der Beutel bietet den Vorteil, dass sich die Beutel beim Kippen der Beutel vollständig auf einfache Art und Weise entleeren lassen.An arrangement of the pouring device in the head region of the bag has the advantage that the bags can be completely emptied when tipping the bag in a simple manner.

Besonders bevorzugt sind weiterhin Fertigungseinrichtungen, welche wenigstens zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtungen zum Formen, Füllen und Verschließen von jeweils eine Ausgießeinrichtung aufweisenden Beuteln umfassen. Dadurch lässt sich die Leistung der Anlage relativ einfach erhöhen, und es ist ggf. auch möglich, z.B. gleiche Einrichtungen, wie z.B. gleiche Fördereinrichtungen zu verwenden, um den vorrichtungstechnischen Aufwand bei einer bestimmten Leistung zu verringern.Furthermore, production devices which comprise at least two devices according to the invention arranged parallel to one another for molding, filling and closing bags each having a pouring device are particularly preferred. As a result, the performance of the system can be relatively easily increased, and it may also be possible, e.g. same facilities, e.g. to use the same conveyors to reduce the device complexity at a given power.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es hierbei, wenn die Vorrichtungen eine gemeinsame Sterilisiereinrichtung oder eine gemeinsame Steuereinrichtung aufweisen.It is particularly preferred in this case if the devices have a common sterilization device or a common control device.

Die Erfindung umfasst ferner ein Verfahren zum Formen, Füllen und Verschließen von jeweils eine Ausgießeinrichtung aufweisenden Verpackungsbehältern mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Verfahrensanspruchs sowie nach diesem Verfahren hergestellte Beutel.The invention further comprises a method for forming, filling and closing packaging containers each having a pouring device having the features of the independent method claim and bags produced by this method.

In der Fig. 1 ist eine Vorrichtung 10 zum Formen, Füllen und Verschließen von jeweils eine Ausgießeinrichtung 1 aufweisenden Beuteln 5 dargestellt. Die Vorrichtung 10 umfasst eine Bevorratungseinrichtung 11, in der eine aus heißsiegelfähigem Kunststoffmaterial bestehende, flexible Materialbahn 12 in Form einer Rolle 13 gespeichert ist. Als Material für die Materialbahn 12 kommen hierbei alle Materialien in Frage, welche aus dem Stand der Technik zum Fertigen von so genannten "Schlauchbeuteln" geeignet sind. In der mit dem Pfeil 14 gekennzeichneten Förderrichtung der Materialbahn 12 betrachtet schließt sich an die Bevorratungseinrichtung 11 eine erste Applikationseinrichtung 15 für die Ausgießeinrichtung 1 an. Hierbei weist die erste Applikationseinrichtung 15 insbesondere einen Stempel 16 auf, der ein (nicht dargestelltes) Loch in die Materialbahn 12 stanzt, wobei der ausgetrennte, insbesondere runde Stanzabfall mittels eines Sammelbehälters 18, der sich auf der dem Stempel 16 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Materialbahn 12 befindet, gesammelt wird.In the Fig. 1 a device 10 for forming, filling and closing each of a pouring device 1 having bags 5 is shown. The device 10 comprises a storage device 11 in which a flexible material web 12 made of heat-sealable plastic material is stored in the form of a roller 13. As material for the material web 12 in this case all materials come into question, which are suitable from the prior art for the production of so-called "tubular bags". When viewed in the conveying direction of the material web 12 marked by the arrow 14, a first application device 15 for the pouring device 1 adjoins the storage device 11. In this case, the first application device 15 in particular a punch 16 which punches a (not shown) hole in the web 12, wherein the separated, in particular round punching waste by means of a collecting container 18 which is located on the opposite side of the stamp 16 material web 12 , is collected.

An den Stempel 16 schließt sich ein im Einzelnen nicht dargestellter Applikator 19 an, der plattenförmige erste Teile 2 der Ausgießeinrichtungen 1 auf der die spätere Innenseite der Beutel 5 bildenden Seite 3 der Materialbahn 12 aufbringt und mit dieser verbindet. Als Verbindungstechnik zwischen dem ersten Teil 2 der Ausgießeinrichtung 1 und der Materialbahn 12 ist z.B. eine Ultraschallreibschweißverbindung vorgesehen.The plunger 16 is adjoined by an applicator 19, not shown in detail, which applies plate-shaped first parts 2 of the pouring devices 1 to the side 3 of the material web 12 forming the later inner side of the bags 5 and connects them to this. As connection technique between the first part 2 of the pouring device 1 and the material web 12 is e.g. an ultrasonic friction welding connection provided.

Anschließend gelangt die mit den in gleichmäßigen Abständen zueinander angeordneten ersten Teilen 2 der Ausgießeinrichtungen 1 versehene Materialbahn 12 in den Bereich einer Sterilisiereinrichtung 20. Die Sterilisiereinrichtung 20 wird anhand der Fig. 2 und 3 im Nachfolgenden noch näher erläutert. Zur Bildung der Beutel 5 aus der Materialbahn 12 ist eine Formeinrichtung 23 vorgesehen, welche eine Formschulter 24 aufweist, über welche die Materialbahn 12 in bekannter Art und Weise gezogen bzw. geformt wird, um daraus einen Schlauch 25 zu bilden. Hierbei ist die Formschulter 24 in ebenfalls bekannter Art und Weise von einem Füllrohr 27 einer Fülleinrichtung 28 durchsetzt, durch das ein oder mehrere, insbesondere flüssige Füllgüter in den Schlauch 25 abgegeben werden können. Hierbei umfasst die Fülleinrichtung 28 einen in der Fig. 1 mit der Bezugsziffer 29 bezeichneten Füller bzw. Dosierer. Unterhalb der Formschulter 24, aber noch in Höhe bzw. im Bereich des Füllrohres 27 ist eine zweite Applikationseinrichtung 30 für einen zweiten Teil 4 der Ausgießeinrichtungen 1 angeordnet. Hierbei ist der zweite Teil 4 der Ausgießeinrichtung 1 als Mundstück ausgebildet, welches bevorzugt mit einem Aufschraubdeckel versehen ist, wobei der zweite Teil 4 von der Außenseite 6 des Schlauchs 25 mit dem ersten Teil 2 der Ausgießeinrichtung 1 in Verbindung gebracht wird. Hierbei erfolgt das Verbinden der beiden Teile 2 und 4 der Ausgießeinrichtung 1 bevorzugt mittels Ultraschallreibschweißen.Subsequently, the material web 12 provided with the uniformly spaced first parts 2 of the pouring devices 1 reaches the area of a sterilizing device 20. The sterilizing device 20 is determined on the basis of FIG Fig. 2 and 3 explained in more detail below. To form the bag 5 from the web 12, a forming device 23 is provided, which has a forming shoulder 24, over which the material web 12 is drawn or formed in a known manner in order to form a tube 25 therefrom. Here, the forming shoulder 24 is penetrated in a likewise known manner by a filling tube 27 of a filling device 28 through which one or more, in particular liquid contents can be discharged into the tube 25. In this case, the filling device 28 comprises a in the Fig. 1 designated by the reference numeral 29 filler or dosing. Below the forming shoulder 24, but still at the level or in the region of the filling tube 27, a second application device 30 for a second part 4 of the pouring devices 1 is arranged. Here, the second part 4 of the spout 1 is formed as a mouthpiece, which is preferably provided with a screw-on, wherein the second part 4 is brought from the outside 6 of the hose 25 with the first part 2 of the spout 1 in combination. Here, the joining of the two parts 2 and 4 of the pouring device 1 preferably takes place by means of ultrasonic friction welding.

Unterhalb der zweiten Einrichtung 30 schließt sich eine Quemahtschweißeinrichtung 33 an, welche zwei gegeneinander bewegbare Quernahtsiegelbacken 34, 35 mit insbesondere integral angeordneten Trenneinrichtungen sowie Falteinrichtungen aufweist, um zum einen jeweils die Bodenbereiche 7 bzw. die Kopfbereiche 8 der Beutel 5 auszubilden, sowie zum anderen jeweils einen Beutel 5 von dem Schlauch 25 abzutrennen. Wie man anhand der Fig. 1 ferner erkennt, ist die Anordnung der Ausgießeinrichtungen 1 an den Beuteln 5 in jeweils einer schräg verlaufenden Kopfwand 9 des Beutels 5. Ferner erkennt man noch eine Längsnahtsiegeleinrichtung 36 im Bereich des Füllrohres 27, welche wenigstens eine Längsnahtsiegelbacke 37 aufweist, um die beiden übereinander angelegten Randbereiche der Materialbahn 12 zur Bildung des Schlauches 25 miteinander zu verschweißen.Below the second device 30 is followed by a Quemahtschweißeinrichtung 33, which has two mutually movable transverse sealing jaws 34, 35 with particular integrally arranged separating devices and folding devices to form on the one hand the bottom portions 7 and the head portions 8 of the bag 5, as well as on the other to separate a bag 5 from the tube 25. How to use the Fig. 1 Furthermore, one recognizes a longitudinal seam sealing device 36 in the region of the filling tube 27, which has at least one longitudinal seam sealing jaw 37 to the two superimposed edge regions the material web 12 to form the tube 25 to be welded together.

Wie man nur anhand der Figur 3 erkennt, schließen sich unterhalb der Längsnahtsiegelbacke 37 weitere Längsnahtsiegelbacken 58 an, um vier Längsnähte am Schlauch 25 auszubilden, die in den jeweiligen Eckbereichen der Beutel 5 angeordnet sind, um einen im Querschnitt insgesamt rechteckförmigen bzw. quaderförmigen Beutel 5 zu bilden. Hierbei sind die nicht die beiden seitlichen Endbereiche der Materialbahn 12 verbindenden Längsnähte als so genannte Blindnähte ausgebildet.How to only use the FIG. 3 recognizes, join below the longitudinal seam sealing jaw 37 more longitudinal seam sealing jaws 58 to form four longitudinal seams on the tube 25, which are arranged in the respective corner regions of the bag 5 to form a rectangular in cross-section or cuboid bag 5. In this case, the longitudinal seams not connecting the two lateral end regions of the material web 12 are designed as so-called blind seams.

Weiterhin erkennt man anhand der Fig. 1, dass sich die Sterilisiereinrichtung 20 an die erste Applikationseinrichtung 15 für die Ausgießeinrichtungen 1 anschließt und ein Gehäuse 38 aufweist, welches den Bereich der Formeinrichtung 23, insbesondere der Formschulter 24, umschließt und knapp oberhalb der zweiten Applikationseinrichtung 30 für die Ausgießeinrichtungen 1 endet.Furthermore, one recognizes on the basis of Fig. 1 in that the sterilizing device 20 adjoins the first application device 15 for the pouring devices 1 and has a housing 38 which encloses the region of the forming device 23, in particular the forming shoulder 24, and ends just above the second application device 30 for the pouring devices 1.

In der Fig. 2 ist die Vorrichtung 10 teilweise etwas detaillierter dargestellt, wobei nunmehr weitere Einzelheiten beschrieben werden, die anhand der Fig. 1 nicht erkennbar sind. So erkennt man zwischen der Bevorratungseinrichtung 11 und der ersten Applikationseinrichtung 15 einerseits und der ersten Applikationseinrichtung 15 und der Sterilisiereinrichtung 20 andererseits jeweils Tänzerrollen 40 bzw. 41, die einen Ausgleich zwischen der innerhalb der Sterilisiereinrichtung 20 kontinuierlich geförderten Materialbahn 12 und der im Bereich der ersten Applikationseinrichtung 15 schrittweise geförderten Materialbahn 12 ermöglichen. Ferner ist die je nach Anwendungsfall erforderliche Sterilisiereinrichtung 20 näher dargestellt. Diese enthält ein Peroxidbad 42, durch das die Materialbahn 12 über mehrere Umlenkrollen 43 geführt ist, um eine Sterilisation der Materialbahn 12 auf ihren beiden Seiten 3 und 6 zu bewirken. An das Peroxidbad 42 schließt sich innerhalb des Gehäuses 38 eine Trocknungseinrichtung 44 an, die in bekannter Art und Weise z.B. mittels auf den gegenüberliegenden Seiten 3 und 6 der Materialbahn 12 angeordneten Rakeldüsen 39 den Peroxidfilm von der Materialbahn 12 abräkelt. An die Rakeldüsen 39 schließen sich Heiz- bzw. Trocknungseinrichtungen 45, 46 an, die sich ebenfalls auf beiden Seiten 3 und 6 der Materialbahn 12 befinden und die die Materialbahn 12 abtrocknen. Die Sterilisiereinrichtung 20 umfasst ferner in üblicher Art und Weise Ventilationseinrichtungen 47 und katalysatorische Umwandler 48.In the Fig. 2 the device 10 is shown in somewhat more detail, with further details will now be described, based on the Fig. 1 are not recognizable. Thus, between the storage device 11 and the first application device 15 on the one hand and the first application device 15 and the sterilizer 20 on the other hand dancer rollers 40 and 41 respectively, which balance between the continuously conveyed within the sterilizer 20 web 12 and in the region of the first application device 15 gradually promoted material web 12 allow. Furthermore, the required depending on the application sterilizer 20 is shown in more detail. This contains a peroxide bath 42 through which the material web 12 is guided over a plurality of deflection rollers 43 in order to effect a sterilization of the material web 12 on its two sides 3 and 6. The peroxide bath 42 is followed within the housing 38 by a drying device 44, which in a known manner, for example by means of doctor blades 39 arranged on the opposite sides 3 and 6 of the material web 12, wraps the peroxide film from the material web 12. The squeegee nozzles 39 are followed by heating or drying devices 45, 46, which are likewise located on both sides 3 and 6 of the material web 12 and which dry the material web 12. The sterilizer 20 further includes ventilation means 47 and catalytic converters 48 in a conventional manner.

An die Trocknungseinrichtung 44 schließt sich eine Transporteinrichtung 50 an, die mittels Rollen die Materialbahn 12 durch Reibschluss kontinuierlich fördern. An die Transporteinrichtung 50 schließen sich weitere Tänzerrollen 51 zur Zwischenspeicherung eines Bahnabschnittes der Materialbahn 12 an. In der Fig. 2 erkennt man weiterhin zwei vakuumunterstützte Abzugsbänder 53, 54, die auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Füllrohres 27 angeordnet sind, um die Materialbahn 12 bzw. den geformten Schlauch 25 taktweise über die Formschulter 24 abzuziehen.The drying device 44 is adjoined by a transport device 50 which, by means of rollers, continuously conveys the material web 12 by frictional engagement. Further dancer rollers 51 for temporarily storing a web section of the material web 12 adjoin the transport device 50. In the Fig. 2 can be seen further two vacuum-assisted withdrawal belts 53, 54 which are arranged on opposite sides of the filling tube 27 in order to withdraw the material web 12 and the molded tube 25 cyclically over the forming shoulder 24.

In der Fig. 3 ist eine Fertigungseinrichtung 100 dargestellt, welche zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtungen 10 umfasst. Das bedeutet, dass die Fertigungseinrichtung 100 im Wesentlichen sämtliche im Rahmen der obigen Beschreibung erläuterten Bestandteile der Vorrichtung 10 in doppelter Ausführung enthält. Der Einfachheit und der besseren Übersichtlichkeit halber sind in der Figur 3 jedoch nicht alle im Rahmen der Figuren 1 und 2 bereits beschriebenen Elemente dargestellt. Vorteilhafterweise ist vorgesehen, dass sich die Vorrichtungen 10 bestimmte Einrichtungen auch teilen können. So ist es insbesondere denkbar, dass die Vorrichtungen 10 eine gemeinsame Sterilisiereinrichtung 25 sowie ggf. eine gemeinsame Steuereinrichtung aufweisen. Dadurch lässt sich bei im Vergleich zu einer einzigen Vorrichtung 10 doppelter Ausbringung bzw. Leistung der vorrichtungstechnische Aufwand verringern. Ferner erkennt man in der Fig. 3 noch eine Fördereinrichtung 55, auf der die gefertigten Beutel 5, z.B. um diese mit einer weiteren Umverpackung zu versehen, weitertransportiert werden. Man erkennt weiterhin, dass die Quemahtsiegeleinrichtung 33 bewegbare Plattenelemente 56, 57 aufweist, mittels deren Hilfe die Bodenbereiche 7 bzw. Kopfbereiche 8 der Beutel 5 geformt werden. Auch sind zusätzliche Längsnahtsiegelbacken 58 oberhalb der Abzugsbänder 53, 54 dargestellt, mit denen die in den Eckbereichen der Beutel 5 angeordneten Längsnähte gebildet werden.In the Fig. 3 a production device 100 is shown, which comprises two devices 10 arranged parallel to one another according to the invention. This means that the production device 100 contains substantially all components of the device 10 explained in the context of the above description in duplicate. The simplicity and the sake of clarity are in the FIG. 3 but not all under the FIGS. 1 and 2 already described elements. Advantageously, it is provided that the devices 10 can also share certain devices. Thus, it is conceivable in particular that the devices 10 have a common sterilizing device 25 and possibly a common control device. As a result, when compared to a single device 10 twice the output or performance of device complexity can be reduced. Furthermore, one recognizes in the Fig. 3 nor a conveyor 55 on which the manufactured bag 5, for example, to provide them with a further outer packaging, are transported. It can further be seen that the transverse seal device 33 has movable plate elements 56, 57, by means of which the bottom regions 7 or head regions 8 of the bags 5 are formed. Additional longitudinal seam sealing jaws 58 are also shown above the take-off belts 53, 54 with which the longitudinal seams arranged in the corner regions of the bags 5 are formed.
