Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing a packaging product from a packaging-material web may include a production device for making the packaging-material web; a drawing device for drawing the packaging-material web off from a packaging-material source; a deforming device for deforming the packaging-material web; a removal conveying device for removing the packaging-material product from the apparatus; and/or a dispensing device for dispensing the packaging-material product in an aligned manner; and using a module interface, via which at least one of the functional units, forming a structural unit, can be connected in a releasable manner to an adjacent functional unit upwards and/or downwards in the conveying direction and/or changed over therewith.
Claims20
An apparatus for producing a packaging product from a packaging material web, comprising the following functional components:
- a feeding chute configured to aligningly feed the packaging material web;
- a cutter configured to cut the packaging material web;
- a drawing roller configured to draw off the packaging material web, a deformer configured to deform the packaging material web, and/or a discharger configured to remove the packaging product from a cutting area;
- a dispenser configured to dispense the packaging product;
- and
- an interface, via which one of the cutter, the drawing roller, the deformer, the discharger, and the dispenser, is detachable and exchangeable for another and/or similar functional component, and connectable to a further functional component of the cutter, the drawing roller, the deformer, the discharger, and the dispenser arranged upstream and/or downstream of a conveying direction.
A construction kit for forming an apparatus for manufacturing a packaging product from a packaging material web, the construction kit comprising the following functional components:
- a feeding chute configured to aligningly feed the packaging material web;
- a cutter configured to cut the packaging material web;
- a drawing roller configured to draw off the packaging material web and/or a deformer configured to deform the packaging material web and/or a discharge configured to remove the packaging product from a cutting area;
- and
- a dispenser configured to dispense the packaging product;
- wherein the kit comprises a plurality of additional functional components of at least one of the following types of functional components:
- cutters,
- drawing rollers,
- deformers
- dischargers, and
- dispensers;
- and wherein each of the functional components of a functional component type detachable and interchangeable within the functional component type, and connectable to a further functional component of the functional components of the kit arranged upstream and/or downstream of the conveying direction each via an interface respectively assigned to each of the functional components of the functional component type, to form an apparatus for producing the packaging product.
