Abstract
Method and machine for packing bacon bundles in blister packages. Bacon bundles (2) are placed in the blister package (15) by a lifting arm (17) having rotatable rods (21) and transversally extending tines (22). The rods (21) are rotatable over 90.degree.. The distance between the outer tines is slightly smaller than the length of the blister package. If the bacon bundle is too long it will depend over the outer tine and the depending portion (24) will automatically be double folded at the positioning of the bacon bundle in the blister package.
Claims8
A method of packing sliced products such as bacon bundles in a blister package or similar to be vacuum sealed, characterized in
- lifting each bacon bundle by several horizontal, transversally extending tines;
- bringing at least one rim portion of the bacon bundle to depend if the length of the bacon bundle exceeds the length of the blister package;
- introducing the bacon bundle in the blister package, the depending portion being folded below the remainder of the bundle;
- and
- vacuum sealing the blister package.
A machine for packing sliced products, such as bacon bundles, in a blister package or the like to be vacuum sealed, said machine comprising a lifting arm (17) having at least two lifting rods (21) extending laterally from the lifting arm (17) and being provided with several transversally extending tines (22), the lifting rods being rotatable in order to place said tines in a horizontal position and a vertically depending position, characterized in that
- the distance between the outer tines of each lifting rod is slightly smaller than the maximally allowed length of each bacon bundle, whereby the bacon bundle if too long depends over the outer tine in order to be double folded when the bacon bundle is in position in the blister package.

- the distance between the outer tines of each lifting rod is slightly smaller than the maximally allowed length of each bacon bundle, whereby the bacon bundle if too long depends over the outer tine in order to be double folded at the position of the bacon bundle in the blister package, and
- further characterized by pallets (5) to which each bacon bundle is transferred, and
- an outfeed station (12) in which preferably three pallets are gathered before loading a row of blister packages.
