  • two components such as a liquid or a solid
  • the film can be destroyed and the two components can mix.
  • the resulting mixture can then be forced out of the mixing device.
  • the DE 10 2009 049 179 A1 discloses a tray sealing machine for making a three-film package with two separate products.
  • a food lying in a shell is hermetically sealed by means of an intermediate film and another product, such as a cutlery or a sauce bag, is additionally sealed with a lid film above the intermediate film on the shell.
  • the sealing of the intermediate foil and the cover foil on the shell is carried out together in a single sealing station.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a packaging machine which makes it possible to produce a two-component package in which the two components can be mixed before opening the two-component package.

  • the molding of the troughs in the films and the sealing of the films is cyclically overlapping in time and in order not to reduce the performance of the thermoforming packaging machine despite the processing of the lidding film.
  • the two-component package of the invention comprises a first tray formed into a bottom film for receiving a first product and a second tray molded into a top film for receiving a second product and a release film containing the first product from the second product separates.
  • a two-component package in which the second product can be forced through the release film into the first well to mix with the first product before the two-component package is opened and the mixture is removed.
  • the first well and the second well extend away from the release film to allow the second product to be pushed through the release film.
  • the user presses on the cover sheet at the location of the molded second trough to pierce the release film with the second product, so that the second product can get into the first trough.
  • the release film is sealed to the bottom film to seal the first well and to the lid film to seal the second well to easily separate the two products within the two-component package and store them within a common two-component package until blended and used as a sachet.
  • the release film has the property that the second product can be pushed through the separation foil itself by destruction of the release liner.
  • the lidding film is made as a soft film, ie as a film having a thickness of less than 250 .mu.m, preferably less than 150 .mu.m, and / or the lower film has a breaking zone for opening the package to the mixture of the first and the second product simply to flow out of the first trough or be able to squeeze out.
