Abstract
The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for producing a tubular packaging casing, wherein a film web is fed in a feeding direction to forming means for forming a tubular casing having edge areas which extend in the feeding direction and which are arranged adjacent to each other, and wherein the edge areas are bonded together in a bonding station having one bonding tool. Moreover, the bonding tool can be moved in a first and a second working position for carrying out two alternative processes of firmly bonding in one of each of the working positions for bonding the edge areas of the tubular casing together.
Claims16
A method for producing a tubular packaging casing, comprising:
- feeding a film web from a film web storage unit in a feeding direction to a forming unit for forming a tubular casing having edge areas which extend in the feeding direction and which are arranged adjacent to each other, and
- bonding the edge areas together in a bonding station having one bonding tool,
- wherein the bonding tool is moved between a first working position and a second working position for carrying out a respective one of two alternative processes of firmly bonding the edge areas of the tubular casing together in each of the first and second working positions.
An apparatus for producing a tubular packaging casing, comprising:
- a film web storage unit for accommodating a supply of a film web,
- a forming unit for forming a tubular casing out of the film web being fed from the film web storage unit in a feeding direction to the forming unit, wherein the tubular casing has edge areas which extend in the feeding direction and which are arranged adjacent to each other,
- a bonding station having at least one bonding tool, wherein the bonding tool is moved between a first working position and a second working position for carrying out a respective one of two alternative processes of firmly bonding the edge areas of the tubular casing together in each of the first and second working positions.
