Abstract
The disclosure relates to a device and a method for producing sachets filled with liquid or pasty filling material, in particular food products. The device has a coextrusion device for coextruding a strand of a wrapping material filled with the filling material and opposing circulating division plungers between which the strand can be transported and which can transport the filling material, when they move towards each other on their orbital path, strip off the wrapping material at a division point and can press the wrapping material to be flat at the division point to form a sachet.
Claims19
A device for producing sachets filled with liquid or pasty filling material, comprising:
- a coextrusion device for coextruding a strand from a wrapping material filled with the filling material;
- and
- opposite circulating division plungers, between which the strand is configured to be transported and which, when the division plungers move towards one another on their orbital path, are configured to strip off the wrapping material at a division point and press the wrapping material to be flat at the division point to form a sachet.
A method for producing sachets filled with liquid or pasty filling material, comprising:
- extruding a strand of a curable wrapping material filled with a filling material via a coextrusion device and guiding the strand between circulating division plungers, wherein
- the circulating division plungers move towards one another, engage in the strand and in the process strip off the filling material from the wrapping material at a division point and press the not yet completely cured wrapping material to be flat at the division point to form a sachet.
