Device for welding a mouthpiece to a thermoplastic film comprising a frame, a support plate carried by the frame and moveable with respect to the latter, a welding head rigidly connected to the support plate, and at least one annular heating resistance carried by the welding head and having electric supply rods arranged at two diametrically opposite points. The device comprises diffusion means for diffusing a cooling gas at the vicinity of the fixation of the supply rods to the heating resistance; preferably, the cooling gas diffusion means comprise channels extending in the welding head and surrounding the supply rods. The invention also relates to the mounting of the welding device on a moveable frame and its association with a film blocking device.
A device for sealing a fitment on a thermoplastic film, comprising a chassis, a support plate attached to the chassis and movable with respect to the chassis, a welding head rigidly connected to the support plate, at least one ring-shaped heating resistance which defines an aperture for receiving a portion of the fitment during sealing and is carried by the welding head, means for feeding current to the welding head joined to the welding head at two diametrically opposed points on the welding head, and means for the diffusion of a cooling fluid to the point where the means for feeding current are joined to the heating resistance.
A device for sealing a fitment on a thermoplastic film, comprising a chassis, a support plate attached to the chassis and movable with respect to the chassis, a welding head rigidly connected to the support plate, at least one ring-shaped heating resistance carried by the welding head, means for feeding current to the welding head located at two diametrically opposed points, means for the diffusion of a cooling fluid to a position where the means for feeding current are fixed on the heating resistance, the means for the diffusion of a cooling fluid including channels that extend into the welding head and surround the means for feeding current, the welding head including an upper part and a lower part connected together, and means for the circulation of a cooling fluid between the upper part and the lower part, the means for the circulation of a cooling fluid includes a groove shaped like an arc of a circle that is formed in the lower face of the upper part of the welding head, and the sealing device further including feeding channels provided in the upper part of the welding head and an opening located at one end of the groove and at the other end of the groove on a side of the upper part.
A device for sealing a fitment on a thermoplastic film, comprising a chassis, a support plate carried by the chassis and movable relative to the chassis, and a welding head rigidly connected to the support plate, the welding head includes a vertical guiding boring and a ring-shaped heating resistance that defines an aperture, the ring-shaped heating resistance circumscribing a portion of the vertical guiding boring, the sealing device includes a positioning means located below the welding head, the positioning means being mounted on the chassis, and a pivoting shaft being supported by a frame adjacent to the film, the chassis being mounted and rotatable on the pivoting shaft.
