Abstract

Bei der Herstellung von Packungen (10) mit Außenumhüllung aus siegelbarer und schrumpfbarer Folie durchlaufen die Packungen (10) einzeln und mit Abstand voneinander taktweise mehrere Bearbeitungsstationen zum Siegeln und/oder Schrumpfen. In einer Aggregatstation (40) werden Einheiten aus mehreren, insbesondere vier Packungen (10) zu einer funktionalen Einheit zusammengefasst und danach in einem entsprechenden Fördertakt transportiert und im Bereich von Arbeitsstationen gleichzeitig bearbeitet.

Figure imgaf001
In the production of packs (10) with outer wrapping of sealable and shrinkable film, the packs (10) pass through a plurality of processing stations for sealing and / or shrinking individually and at intervals from one another. In an aggregate station (40) units of several, in particular four packs (10) are combined to form a functional unit and then transported in a corresponding conveyor cycle and processed simultaneously in the field of workstations.
