Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Verpackungsmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 197 15 653 A1 ist eine Verpackungsmaschine mit einer um eine Drehachse rotierend gelagerte Bewegungseinrichtung, die als Drehteil bezeichnet ist, zu entnehmen. Der Bewegungseinrichtung ist ein Faltrevolver zugeordnet, durch den Zigarettenverpackungen mit einer Folie ummantelt werden. Auch aus der WO 2007/014917 ist eine derartige Verpackungsmaschine bekannt.From the DE 197 15 653 A1 is a packaging machine with a about a rotational axis rotatably mounted movement device, which is referred to as a rotating part to take. The movement device is associated with a folding turret, are wrapped by the cigarette packaging with a film. Also from the WO 2007/014917 Such a packaging machine is known.

Solche Verpackungsmaschinen haben sich in der Praxis für Verpackungsgrößen bewehrt, die eine relativ klein bemessene Außenkontur aufweisen, wie dies beispielsweise für eine Zigarettenverpackung vorliegt. Je größer nämlich die Verpackung bzw. der Körper gestaltet ist, desto größer sind die Bewegungseinrichtungen auszubilden, um die Verpackung überhaupt aufzunehmen. Nachteiligerweise ergibt sich aus einer Vergrößerung der Bewegungseinrichtung, dass diese nicht nur größer baut, sondern wesentlich schwerer ausgestaltet ist, wodurch erhöhte Kräfte bei der Bewegung entstehen.Such packaging machines have in practice reinforced for packaging sizes that have a relatively small sized outside contour, such as is present for a cigarette packaging. Namely, the larger the package or the body is designed, the larger the movement means are to be formed to accommodate the package at all. Disadvantageously, it follows from an increase in the movement device that it not only builds larger, but is designed to be much heavier, resulting in increased forces during movement.

Darüber hinaus ist oftmals das Platzangebot der Verpackungsmaschine begrenzt, so dass solche Verpackungsmaschinen ausschließlich für Verpackungsgrößen mit einer begrenzten Längenabmessung benutzbar sind.In addition, the space of the packaging machine is often limited, so that such packaging machines are available only for packaging sizes with a limited length dimension.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Verpackungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Gattung derart weiterzubilden, dass die Körper mit einer Folie ummantelt werden können, die eine wesentlich größere Außenabmessung aufweisen, ohne dass die die Körper aufnehmende Bewegungseinrichtung zu groß bzw. zu schwer ausfällt bzw. baut.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a packaging machine of the type mentioned in such a way that the body coated with a film can be, which have a much larger outer dimension, without the body receiving movement device fails or builds too heavy or too heavy.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Ein Verfahren für den Betrieb einer Verpackungsmachine ist in Anspruch 6 definiert. Wenn nämlich der Körper in die Aufnahmekammer der Bewegungseinrichtung über die Drehachse eingeschoben ist, dann ist dadurch gewährleistet, dass die Aufnahmekammer maximal mit ihrer halben breiten Abmessung die Drehachse überragt und somit beide Seiten der Drehachse als Aufnahmeraum für den zu ummantelnden Körper zur Verfügung stehen. Die bekannt gewordenen Verpackungsmaschinen weisen üblicherweise Aufnahmekammern auf, die an einer ihrer Stirnseiten an der Drehachse der Bewegungseinrichtung angelenkt sind, so dass der in die Aufnahmekammer einzuschiebende Körper die Drehachse überhaupt nicht überschreitet.A method for operating a packaging machine is defined in claim 6. Namely, if the body is inserted into the receiving chamber of the moving means on the axis of rotation, then it is ensured that the receiving chamber projects beyond the axis of rotation at most with its half-wide dimension and thus both sides of the axis of rotation as a receiving space for the body to be coated available. The packaging machines which have become known usually have receiving chambers, which are articulated on one of their end faces on the axis of rotation of the moving device, so that the body to be inserted into the receiving chamber does not exceed the axis of rotation at all.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird durch eine Verpackungsmaschine gelöst, die eine Bewegungseinrichtung mit einer Aufnahmekammer aufweist, deren Symmetrieachse, die senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung des Körpers verläuft, fluchtend oder seitlich versetzt zu der Drehachse der Bewegungseinrichtung angeordnet ist, denn dadurch ist ebenso die Überfahrung der Drehachse mit dem zu ummantelnden Körper erreicht.The object of the invention is achieved by a packaging machine having a movement device with a receiving chamber whose axis of symmetry, which is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the body, is aligned or laterally offset from the axis of rotation of the moving means, because this is also the passage of the axis of rotation with the reached to ummantelnden body.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Drehachse als Vierkantprofil ausgestaltet ist und wenn jede Oberfläche des Vierkantprofils einer der Aufnahmekammern zugeordnet bzw. mit dieser Oberfläche fest verbunden ist. Somit können vier Aufnahmekammern zur Verfügung gestellt werden, in die in einem getakteten rotierenden Ablauf der in die Aufnahmekammer eingeschobene Körper mit der Folie vollständig ummantelt und versiegelt werden kann. Die Aufnahmekammern sind dabei derart zueinander angeordnet, dass diese in einem gemeinsamen Hüllkreis bei der Rotation der Bewegungseinrichtung verlaufen und der Hüllkreis die maximale Außenkontur der Bewegungseinrichtung darstellt. Die Falt- und Siegelwerkzeuge sind dabei außerhalb dieses Hüllkreises anzuordnen, so dass die Rotation der Aufnahmekammern von den Falt- und Siegelwerkzeugen nicht behindert wird. Mit einer sofchen getakteten Arbeitsweise können an verschiedenen Positionen die entsprechenden Falt- und Siegelvorgänge abgewickelt werden und in einer parallel zu der Einschiebeposition des Körpers verlaufenden Ausschiebeposition kann der Körper mit einer weiteren Transporteinrichtung aus der Kammer ausgeworfen bzw. ausgeschoben werden.It is particularly advantageous if the axis of rotation is configured as a square profile and if each surface of the square profile is assigned to one of the receiving chambers or firmly connected to this surface. Thus, four receiving chambers can be provided, in which in a clocked rotating sequence of the inserted into the receiving chamber body with the film can be completely sheathed and sealed. The receiving chambers are arranged in such a way to each other that they in a common enveloping circle during rotation the movement device and the enveloping circle represents the maximum outer contour of the movement device. The folding and sealing tools are to be arranged outside of this enveloping circle, so that the rotation of the receiving chambers of the folding and sealing tools is not hindered. With a soft clocked operation, the corresponding folding and sealing operations can be handled at different positions and in a parallel to the insertion position of the body extending Ausschiebeposition the body can be ejected with a further transport device from the chamber or ejected.

Folglich können an verschiedenen Positionen die unterschiedlichen Arbeitsvorgänge durchgeführt werden, wodurch die Arbeiten gleichzeitig stattfinden. Dies erhöht die Taktfrequenz der Verpackungsmaschine, denn in einem bestimmten Zeitraum können mehrere Körper mit einer Folie ummantelt und versiegelt werden.Consequently, the different operations can be performed at different positions, whereby the work take place simultaneously. This increases the frequency of the packaging machine, because in a certain period of time, several bodies can be covered with a foil and sealed.

Darüber hinaus baut die Verpackungsmaschine kleiner, und zwar auch wenn die Abmessungen des Körpers vergrößert sind, denn der Körper ragt im Fall von zwei Aufnahmekammern lediglich mit seiner halben Körperlänge bzw. bei vier Aufnahmekammern mit der Hälfte der Summe seiner Körperlänge und Körperhöhe jeweils im Quadrat (Satz von Pythagoras) über die Drehachse der Bewegungseinrichtung hinaus.In addition, the packaging machine is smaller, even if the dimensions of the body are increased, because the body protrudes in the case of two receiving chambers only half its body length or four receiving chambers with half the sum of his body length and body height in each square ( Set of Pythagoras) beyond the axis of rotation of the movement device.

In den Figuren 1 bis 6 ist ein Verfahren abgebildet, durch das ein Körper 2 mit einer Folie 7 ummantelt werden soll. Die Folie 7 wird dabei von Falt- und Siegelwerkzeugen 17 und 18 derart um den Körper 2 gelegt, dass dieser nach der Beendigung des Verfahrens vollständig von der Folie 7 umschlossen ist. Zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist eine Verpackungsmaschine 1 erforderlich, durch die der Körper 2 mit der Folie 7 selbsttätig ummantelt ist.In the FIGS. 1 to 6 a method is shown, by which a body 2 is to be covered with a film 7. The film 7 is placed by folding and sealing tools 17 and 18 to the body 2 so that it is completely enclosed by the film 7 after the completion of the process. To carry out the method, a packaging machine 1 is required, by which the body 2 is coated with the film 7 itself.

In Figur 1 ist der Ausgangszustand, also der erste Verfahrensschritt, sowie ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer der Verpackungsmaschinen 1 gezeigt. Die Verpackungsmaschine 1 besteht dabei zunächst aus einer Transporteinrichtung 4, durch die eine lineare Bewegungsrichtung 3 vorgegeben ist. Die Transporteinrichtung 4 kann beispielsweise ein Hubkolben, ein Förderband oder eine Greifeinrichtung sein. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Transportvorrichtung 4 als Hubkolben ausgestaltet, durch den der Körper 2 entlang einer Unterlage in die vorgegebene Bewegungsrichtung 3 geschoben ist.In FIG. 1 is the initial state, ie the first method step, and a first embodiment of the packaging machines 1 shown. The packaging machine 1 initially consists of a transport device 4, by which a linear direction of movement 3 is predetermined. The transport device 4 may be, for example, a reciprocating piston, a conveyor belt or a gripping device. Im shown Embodiment, the transport device 4 is designed as a reciprocating piston, through which the body 2 is pushed along a base in the predetermined direction of movement 3.

Des Weiteren ist der Verpackungsmaschine 1 eine Folienrolle 5 zugeordnet, auf der eine Folienbahn 6 aufgewickelt ist. Um den Körper 2 mit der Folie 7 zu ummanteln, ist es erforderlich, den Körper 2 durch die von der Folienrolle 5 abgewickelte Folienbahn 6 hindurchzuschieben. Das jeweilige Ende der Folienbahn 6 kann beispielsweise mittels nicht dargestellten Saugeinrichtungen gehalten werden, so dass die Folienbahn 6 straff gespannt ist. Die Breite der Folienbahn 6 ist dabei derart auszugestalten, dass der Körper 2, der oftmals eine quaderförmige Abmessung aufweist, an fünf von sechs Stirnseiten beim Durchschieben des Körpers 2 durch die Folienbahn 6 von dieser umschlossen ist. Der Körper 2 wird nämlich mittels der Transportvorrichtung 4 in eine Aufnahmekammer 14, die an einer Bewegungseinrichtung 10 angebracht ist, eingeschoben. Durch die obere und untere sowie die beiden seiflichen Wände der Aufnahmekammer 14 wird die von der Folienbahn 6 abgetrennte Folie 7 um den Körper 2 angelegt.Furthermore, the packaging machine 1 is associated with a film roll 5, on which a film web 6 is wound. In order to coat the body 2 with the film 7, it is necessary to push the body 2 through the film web 6 unwound from the film roll 5. The respective end of the film web 6 can be held for example by means not shown suction, so that the film web 6 is taut. The width of the film web 6 is to be designed such that the body 2, which often has a cuboid dimension, is enclosed at five of six end faces when pushing the body 2 through the film web 6 of this. Namely, the body 2 is inserted by means of the transporting device 4 into a receiving chamber 14, which is attached to a movement device 10. Through the upper and lower and the two soapy walls of the receiving chamber 14, the separated from the film web 6 film 7 is applied to the body 2.

Aus Figur 2 ist ersichtlich, wie der Körper 2 in der Aufnahmekammer 14 nach dem Einschiebevorgang angeordnet ist. Dabei steht ein oberes Ende 8 der Folie 7 und ein unteres Ende 9 der Folie 7 über den Körper 2 im Bereich der linken offenen Stirnseite 15 der Aufnahmekammer 14 über.Out FIG. 2 it can be seen how the body 2 is arranged in the receiving chamber 14 after the insertion process. In this case, an upper end 8 of the film 7 and a lower end 9 of the film 7 over the body 2 in the region of the left open end face 15 of the receiving chamber 14 via.

Die Aufnahmekammer 14 ist über eine Drehachse 11 mit einem nicht dargestellten Antriebsmittel verbunden, durch das beispielsweise im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel, ein Flansch 12 um diese Drehachse 11 rotierbar ist. Die Aufnahmekammer 14 ist dabei derart an den Flansch 12 angeordnet, dass die Symmetrieachse 21 der Aufnahmekammer 14, die senkrecht zu der Bewegungsrichtung 3 verläuft, fluchtend zu der Drehachse 11 ausgerichtet ist. Somit steht die Aufnahmekammer 14 exakt zentrisch über der Drehachse 11, so dass dadurch gewährleistet ist, dass der Körper 2 über die Drehachse 11 hinausgeschoben wird und dass jeweils die halbe Länge der Aufnahmekammer 14 benötigt wird, um den Körper 2 vollständig aufzunehmen. Die von der Drehachse 11 am weitesten entfernt liegenden Ecken 23 der Aufnahmekammer 14 liegen demnach auf einem Hüllkreis 22, durch den die maximale Auslenkung bzw. der maximale Platzbedarf der Bewegungseinrichtung 10 vorgegeben ist. Folglich können die Aufnahmekammern 14 größer ausgestaltet sein, um Körper aufzunehmen, die eine entsprechend groß bemessene Außenkontur aufweisen, denn die Körper 2 sind lediglich mit ihrer halben Länge für den Hüllkreis 22 bestimmend.The receiving chamber 14 is connected via a rotation axis 11 with a drive means, not shown, through which, for example, in the embodiment shown, a flange 12 about this axis of rotation 11 is rotatable. The receiving chamber 14 is arranged on the flange 12 such that the axis of symmetry 21 of the receiving chamber 14, which is perpendicular to the direction of movement 3, aligned with the axis of rotation 11 is aligned. Thus, the receiving chamber 14 is exactly centered on the axis of rotation 11, thereby ensuring that the body 2 is pushed beyond the axis of rotation 11 and that in each case half the length of the receiving chamber 14 is required to completely accommodate the body 2. The furthest from the axis of rotation 11 corners 23 of the receiving chamber 14 are therefore on an enveloping circle 22 through which the maximum Deflection or the maximum space requirement of the movement device 10 is predetermined. Consequently, the receiving chambers 14 may be designed to be larger, to accommodate bodies having a correspondingly sized outer contour, because the body 2 are determinative only with its half length for the enveloping circle 22.

In Figur 3 ist eine Zwischenarbeitsstellung gezeigt, wenn nämlich die Aufnahmekammer 14 um exakt 90° aus der Ausgangsstellung verschwenkt ist. In dieser Zwischenarbeitsposition können die Falt- und Siegelwerkzeuge 17, 18 angeordnet sein, um dort die Umfaltung der Folie 7 und deren Versiegelung zu bewirken. Durch eine solche Zwischenarbeitsposition können zwar an unterschiedlichen Positionen verschiedenartige Arbeitsschritte durchgeführt werden, jedoch verringert sich dadurch die insgesamt benötigte Zeitdauer nicht, den Körper 2 mit der Folie 7 zu ummanteln, denn die Zwischenposition benötigt Zeit, während der in der zweiten Aufnahmekammer 14 angeordnete Körper 2 nicht aus dieser ausgeschoben werden kann.In FIG. 3 is shown an intermediate work position, namely, when the receiving chamber 14 is pivoted by exactly 90 ° from the starting position. In this intermediate working position, the folding and sealing tools 17, 18 may be arranged to effect the refolding of the film 7 and its sealing there. Through such an intermediate working position, although different working steps can be carried out at different positions, this does not reduce the total time required to coat the body 2 with the film 7 because the intermediate position requires time during the body 2 arranged in the second receiving chamber 14 can not be ejected from this.

Es ist daher auch ohne weiteres möglich, eine Verpackungsmaschine 1 zur Verfügung zu stellen, deren einzelne Aufrlahmekammern 14 aus der Ausgangsposition um 180° verschwenkt werden und wobei dort gemäß Figur 4 mit den Falt- und Siegelwerkzeugen 17, 18 die Folie 7 um den Körper 2 befestigt wird und wobei nach diesem Arbeitsschritt die zweite Transporteinrichtung 19 aktiviert ist, um den Körper 2 aus der Aufnahmekammer 14 auszuschieben.It is therefore also readily possible to provide a packaging machine 1 available, the individual Aufrlahmekammern 14 are pivoted from the initial position by 180 ° and where according to FIG. 4 with the folding and sealing tools 17, 18, the film 7 is attached to the body 2 and wherein after this step, the second transport device 19 is activated to expel the body 2 from the receiving chamber 14.

Die Falt- und Siegelwerkzeuge 17 und 18 sind außerhalb des Hüllkreises 22 angeordnet, so dass bei der Rotation der Bewegungseinrichtung 10 keine Behinderungen durch diese vorherrschen. Da die oberen und unteren Enden 8 und 9 der Folie 7 aus der jeweiligen Aufnahmekammer 14 hinausragen, gelangen diese gemäß dem Verfahrensschritt der Figur 4 in den Bereich der Faltwerkzeuge 17, so dass die oberen und unteren Enden 8 und 9 der Folie 7 in Richtung der offenen Stirnseite des Körpers 2 gedrückt sind und an diesen anliegen.The folding and sealing tools 17 and 18 are arranged outside of the enveloping circle 22, so that during the rotation of the moving means 10 no impediments prevail therefrom. Since the upper and lower ends 8 and 9 of the film 7 protrude from the respective receiving chamber 14, they arrive according to the method step of FIG FIG. 4 in the region of the folding tools 17, so that the upper and lower ends 8 and 9 of the film 7 are pressed in the direction of the open end side of the body 2 and abut against these.

Sobald die oberen und unteren Enden 8 und 9 der Folie 7 an dieser Stirnseite des Körpers 2 sich überlappen, können diese miteinander durch das Siegelwerkzeug 18 versiegelt werden, so dass die Folie 7 lageorientiert an dem Körper 2 anliegt. Die Aufnahmekammer 14 ist dabei um 180° gegenüber der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausgangsposition verschwenkt worden und verläuft demnach unterhalb der Drehachse 11. Durch eine zweite Transporteinrichtung 19 wird gemäß Figur 4 der Körper 2 aus der Aufnahmekammer 14 ausgeschoben und durch eine nicht gezeigte weitere Transporteinrichtung weiterbefördert.As soon as the upper and lower ends 8 and 9 of the film 7 overlap on this front side of the body 2, they can be sealed to one another by the sealing tool 18, so that the film 7 abuts the body 2 in a positionally oriented manner. The Receiving chamber 14 is 180 ° to the in FIG. 1 shown starting position has been pivoted and therefore runs below the axis of rotation 11. By a second transport device 19 is in accordance with FIG. 4 the body 2 is ejected from the receiving chamber 14 and conveyed by a further transport means, not shown.

Die Verpackungsmaschine 1 der Figuren 1 bis 4 besteht aus zwei Aufnahmekammern 14, deren jeweilige Symmetrieachse 21 entweder zentrisch zu der Drehachse 11 ausgerichtet sind oder die jeweilige Symmetrieachse 21 der Aufnahmekammern 14 ist geringfügig seitlich versetzt zu der Drehachse 11 angeordnet. Wenn die Bewegungseinrichtung 10 aus zwei Aufnahmekammern 14 besteht, können die Falt- und Siegelverfahrensschritte zur Befestigung der Folie 7 entweder an unterschiedlichen Positionen gemäß Figur 3 bezogen auf die Aufnahmekammer 14 durchgeführt werden, oder die Falt- und Siegelverfahrensschritte werden gemäß Figur 4 in zwei um 180° versetzten Stellungen vorgenommen.The packaging machine 1 of FIGS. 1 to 4 consists of two receiving chambers 14, the respective axis of symmetry 21 are either aligned centrally to the axis of rotation 11 or the respective axis of symmetry 21 of the receiving chambers 14 is slightly laterally offset from the axis of rotation 11. If the movement device 10 consists of two receiving chambers 14, the folding and sealing process steps for fixing the film 7 either at different positions according to FIG. 3 in relation to the receiving chamber 14, or the folding and sealing processes are carried out according to FIG. 4 made in two offset by 180 ° positions.

In den Figuren 5 und 6 ist eine Verpackungsmaschine 1' dargestellt, die als Drehachse 11 ein Vierkantprofil 13 aufweist. Die nach außen ragenden Mantelflächen des Vierkantprofils 13 dienen dabei als Anlage- und Befestigungsflächen für eine der Aufnahmekammern 14, so dass der Verpackungsmaschine 1' der Figuren 5 und 6 vier Aufnahmekammern zugeordnet sind. Die Aufnahmekammern 14 bilden dabei mit der jeweils benachbarten Aufnahmekammer einen rechten Winkel, so dass der Hüllkreis 22 von der Summe aus Längsseite und der Höhe des Körpers jeweils im Quadrat bestimmt wird und somit verglichen mit dem Hüllkreis der Figuren 1 bis 4 nicht wesentlich vergrößert ist.In the Figures 5 and 6 is a packaging machine 1 'is shown, which has a square profile 13 as a rotation axis 11. The outwardly projecting lateral surfaces of the square profile 13 serve as abutment and attachment surfaces for one of the receiving chambers 14, so that the packaging machine 1 'of Figures 5 and 6 four receiving chambers are assigned. The receiving chambers 14 thereby form a right angle with the respective adjacent receiving chamber, so that the enveloping circle 22 is determined by the sum of the longitudinal side and the height of the body in each case squared and thus compared with the outer circle of FIGS. 1 to 4 is not significantly increased.

Die Symmetrieachse 21 der Aufnahmekammer 14, die senkrecht zu der Bewegungsrichtung 3 verläuft, ist in dieser Ausführungsvariante seitlich versetzt zu der Drehachse 11 des Vierkantprofils 13.The axis of symmetry 21 of the receiving chamber 14, which is perpendicular to the direction of movement 3, in this embodiment, laterally offset from the axis of rotation 11 of the square profile thirteenth

Da nunmehr insgesamt vier Aufnahmekammern 14 die Bewegungseinrichtung 10 bilden, sind die Bearbeitungsschritte an drei der vier verschiedenen Positionen durchführbar, nämlich Einschieben des Körpers 2 in die Aufnahmekammer 14, die fluchtend zu der Bewegungsrichtung 3 des Körpers 2 angeordnet ist, Rotieren der Aufnahmekammer 14, Umfalten der oberen und unteren Enden 8 und 9 der Folie 7. Ausschieben des Körpers 2 aus der untersten Aufnahmekammer 14 durch die zweite Transporteinrichtung 19 und Weiterfahren der leeren Aufnahmekammer 14 in die Ausgangsposition.Since a total of four receiving chambers 14 form the movement device 10, the processing steps at three of the four different positions are feasible, namely insertion of the body 2 in the receiving chamber 14, which is arranged in alignment with the direction of movement 3 of the body 2, rotating the Receiving chamber 14, folding over the upper and lower ends 8 and 9 of the film 7. Pushing the body 2 from the bottom receiving chamber 14 by the second transport device 19 and moving the empty receiving chamber 14 to the starting position.

In Figur 6 sind in die Seitenwände der Aufnahmekammern 14 zwei fluchtend zueinander gegenüberliegende Durchgangsöffnungen 25 eingearbeitet, durch die die zweite Transporteinrichtung 19 hindurchgeschoben werden kann, um den jeweiligen Körper 2 aus der entsprechenden Aufnahmekammer 14 hinauszuschieben.In FIG. 6 in the side walls of the receiving chambers 14 two mutually aligned through holes 25 are incorporated, through which the second transport means 19 can be pushed to push the respective body 2 from the corresponding receiving chamber 14.

Es ist in den Figuren 5 und 6 eine Verpackungsmaschine 1 mit vier Aufnahmekammern 14 abgebildet. Es ist jedoch ohne weiteres möglich, eine beliebige Anzahl von Aufnahmekammern 14 vorzusehen und das Vierkantprofil 13 mit einer entsprechend daran angepassten Außenkontur auszugestalten.It is in the Figures 5 and 6 a packaging machine 1 with four receiving chambers 14 shown. However, it is readily possible to provide any number of receiving chambers 14 and to design the square profile 13 with a corresponding thereto adapted outer contour.
