Abstract
A method for producing a package of a fluidized substance is disclosed. The method includes a supplying step in which a prescribed amount of a fluidized substance (103) is supplied onto a first sheet (a first sheet 101′ of continuous length) by use of a metering-applicator (2) for the fluidized substance comprising a metering through-hole (21) having an outer opening and an inner opening. The supplying step comprises positioning the first sheet so as to be brought into contact with the outer opening of the metering through-hole (21), and then supplying the fluidized substance (103) from the inner opening of the metering through-hole (21) via the metering through-hole (21) onto the first sheet while the first sheet is conveyed.

A method for producing a package of a fluidized substance, said method comprising the steps of:
- supplying a fluidized substance on a first sheet;
- covering the supplied fluidized substance with a second sheet;
- and
- sealing the two sheets together in a prescribed shape to make a package of a fluidized substance comprising said first sheet, said second sheet and said fluidized substance held therebetween,
- wherein said step of supplying the fluidized substance includes the steps of:
- supplying a prescribed amount of said fluidized substance onto said first sheet by use of a metering-applicator for said fluidized substance, said metering-applicator comprising a metering through-hole having an outer opening and an inner opening forming a volumetric metering space therebetween, said volumetric metering space having a prescribed volume and shape;
- positioning said first sheet so as to be brought into contact with said outer opening of said metering through-hole;
- and
- supplying said fluidized substance from said inner opening of said metering through-hole into said volumetric metering hole and then onto said first sheet while said first sheet is conveyed to supply a measured, prescribed amount of said fluidized substance onto said first sheet.
An apparatus for producing a package of a fluidized substance, comprising:
- a metering-applicator for the fluidized substance, said metering-applicator comprising a metering through-hole having an outer opening and an inner opening forming a volumetric metering space therebetween, said volumetric metering space having a prescribed volume and shape;
- a first conveyor for conveying a first sheet into contact with said outer opening;
- a second conveyor for conveying a second sheet, said second sheet for covering the fluidized substance supplied to the first sheet;
- and
- a device for sealing the two sheets together in a prescribed shape to make a package of a fluidized substance comprising said first sheet, said second sheet and the fluidized substance held therebetween,
- wherein said fluidized substance is supplied from said inner opening of said metering through-hole into said volumetric metering hole and then onto said first sheet while said first sheet is conveyed to supply a measured, prescribed amount of said fluidized substance onto said first sheet.
