Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing a pouch containing a brewable material accommodated in a wrapping, comprising a pouch manufacturing device adapted to manufacture a pouch containing brewable material, and a sealing station with jaw elements forming opposing sealing surfaces acting on the wrapping from opposite sides for sealing the pouch. The device according to the invention allows a more economical production of a packaging unit comprising a pouch in the wrapping and has a trough-shaped recess in which a helically laid heating conductor is accommodated.
Claims8
A device for manufacturing a pouch containing a brewable material accommodated in a wrapping, comprising a pouch manufacturing device adapted to manufacture a pouch containing brewable material, and a sealing station with jaw elements forming opposing sealing surfaces acting on the wrapping from opposite sides for sealing the pouch, wherein at least one of the jaw elements forms a trough-shaped recess below the sealing surface, in which a helically laid heating conductor is accommodated,
- in that the trough-shaped recess has an open top and a bottom,
- in that the bottom of the trough-shaped recess is formed by a surface section of the at least one jaw element which forms the sealing surface,
- in that the bottom of the trough-shaped recess defines a concave depression formed to match the curvature of the helically laid heating conductor,
- in that the bottom of the trough-shaped recess is closer to the sealing surface than the open top of the trough-shaped recess, and
- in that a smallest distance between the concave depression and the sealing surface is less than a distance between the open top of the trough-shaped recess and the sealing surface.
