Abstract
A system for packaging a product into separate bags, including a station for providing a partly closed bag and adding a quantity of the product into the partly closed bag, a closing station for closing the partly closed bag with the quantity of the product therein, a separating station for separating the closed bag from the sheet-shaped material, and an analyzing station for analyzing the closed bag, where the analyzing station is positioned between the closing station and the separating station and where the closed bag hangs from another bag when analyzed.
Claims15
A system for packaging a product into separate bags, the system comprising:
- a station for converting a sheet-shaped material into a partly closed bag and adding a quantity of the product into the partly closed bag,
- a closing station for closing the partly closed bag with the quantity of the product therein and obtaining a closed bag,
- a separating station for separating the closed bag from the sheet-shaped material, and
- an analyzing station configured to obtain information from a closure of the closed bag while the closed bag hangs from the sheet-shaped material, a partly closed bag, or another closed bag;
- wherein the analyzing station is further configured to analyze, based on the information, the closure of the closed bag;
- wherein the analyzing station is positioned between the closing station and the separating station and further positioned at least substantially vertically below the closing station.
A method of packaging a product into separate bags, the method comprising:
- repeatedly:
- from a sheet-shaped material, forming a partly closed bag,
- adding a quantity of the product to the partly closed bag,
- closing the partly closed bag with the product quantity therein,
- while the closed bag hangs from the sheet-shaped material, a partly closed bag or another closed bag, analyzing the closed bag by obtaining information from a closure of the closed bag and analyzing, based on the information, the closure of the closed bag, and
- separating the analyzed, closed bag from the sheet-shaped material, the partly closed bag or the other closed bag.
