Abstract
A method for preparing a piping bag for pre-filling, the set comprising, a thin walled polymer tube, and at least one severance mark extending across the entire width of the polymer tube, partitioning the set into two separable piping bags having a respective openable portion, said openable portions pointing in substantially opposite directions, as seen in a longitudinal direction of the set. The method comprises gripping the set at or near the respective openable portion, positioning the openable portions to point in substantially the same direction, and separating the piping bags from each other along the severance mark.
Claims15
A method for preparing a piping bag set for pre-filling comprising:
- providing a set comprising a thin walled polymer tube, and at least one severance mark extending across the entire width of the polymer tube, the severance mark being arranged for partitioning the set into two separable piping bags having a respective openable portion, said openable portions pointing in substantially opposite directions, as seen in a longitudinal direction of the set,
- gripping the set at or near the respective openable portion;
- positioning the openable portions to point in substantially the same direction;
- and
- separating the piping bags from each other along the severance mark while retaining the grip.
A device for preparing a piping bag set for pre-filling, the device comprising:
- a feeder for feeding a piping bag set, wherein the piping bag set comprises a set of separable piping bags having openable portions which point towards different directions;
- and
- a pair of gripping devices, arranged to grip a respective piping bag at its openable portion;
- the gripping devices being displaceable relative to each other in feed direction of the piping bag set, and the gripping devices being rotatable for redirecting the openable portions of the piping bags.
