In a device for the formation of the longitudinal seam of a tubular foil, a flexible foil is placed around a formatting tube by means of a formatting shoulder. The device has a transporting device for moving of the foil and the formed tubular foil. The invention provides two opposingly rotating sealing bands which are pressed against one another clamping the two longitudinal edges o the foil for welding of the longitudinal seam of the tubular foil. One of the sealing bands can be heated by means of a heating device. Both sealing bands can be heated and the device designed as a tubular bagging machine. The invention has the advantage that the deflection of the longitudinal seam from its true path is avoided.
In a device for the formation at adjacent longitudinal edges of a tubular foil a longitudinal seam, said device comprising a forming shoulder for placing a flexible foil around a formatting tube, a transporting device for moving the foil and the formed tubular foil, and a device for welding the two longitudinal edges together to form the longitudinal seam, the improvement wherein the device for welding the two longitudinal edges consists of two sealing bands pressing against one another and clamping the two longitudinal edges of the foil therebetween, said two sealing bands moving in opposite directions, and wherein a heating device is provided for heating at least one of said sealing bands, the sealing bands each moving around two wheels, the heating device consisting of a voltage source having two sliding contacts each respectively electrically contacting an axle of said two wheels, whereby an electrical circuit is completed for heating said at least one sealing band.
