Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Beuteln (10) für Tabakprodukte, wobei mittels einer Verpackungsmaschine (11) aus einer fortlaufendenden Materialbahn (14) durch Falten und Siegeln der Materialbahn (14) Beutel (10) gebildet werden und die gebildeten Beutel (10) durch Abtrennen von der Materialbahn (14) vereinzelt und nachfolgend befüllt werden. Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Verpackungsmaschine (11) auch ein Magazin (15) für vorgefertigte Beutel (10) zugeordnet ist, aus dem die Beutel (10) alternativ oder zusätzlich zur Herstellung der Beutel (10) auf der Verpackungsmaschine (11) entnommen und nachfolgend befüllt werden.

The invention relates to a method for producing pouches (10) for tobacco products, wherein pouches (10) are formed by means of a packaging machine (11) from a continuous material web (14) by folding and sealing the material web (14) and the pouches (10 ) separated by separation from the material web (14) and subsequently filled. The invention is characterized in that the packaging machine (11) is also associated with a magazine (15) for prefabricated bags (10) from which the bags (10) are alternatively or additionally used to produce the bags (10) on the packaging machine (11). removed and subsequently filled.
