Abstract: A particulate material supplying apparatus includes a hopper that stores a particulate material, a discharge gutter that dispenses the particulate material, a feeder that transports the particulate material to a weighing scale, the weighing scale that weighs the particulate material, a supply shutter that feeds the particulate material to a machine in the next process step at a predetermined timing, and a controller that controls the operations of these devices. The discharge gutter includes an inclined gutter portion having an opening in an upper surface thereof and a substantially U-shaped cross section. The controller controls the discharge gutter so that the particulate material in the hopper is dispensed to the feeder by causing the discharge gutter to perform a swinging motion in which a forward rotation and a backward rotation each to a predetermined angle are repeated while the opening in the inclined gutter portion faces upward.

Abstract: A multiple-line automatic packing machine configured to produce packed products each having three sealed sides simultaneously and continuously in multiple lines. A vertical sealing device includes a vertical sealing belt. Vertical sealing is performed by rotating the vertical sealing belt along a conveying direction of the packing film at the same speed as conveying speed of the packing film while pressing the vertical sealing belt against a former through intermediation of an overlapping portion of the packing film. Further, a lateral sealing device performs lateral sealing on a portion of the packing film corresponding to a lower portion of a packing bag, and then performs lateral sealing on a portion of the packing film corresponding to an upper portion of the packing bag while moving upward and downward in synchronization with the packing film continuously conveyed at a predetermined speed.

Abstract: A multiple filling device having a hopper, multiple supply nozzles each having a rotating sleeve for transferring rotational movement to a feeding screw to distribute content material stored in a divided portion of the hopper. The rotating sleeve is motivated by a driving motor. A main driving motor is also rotatably connected to multiple agitating blades each residing inside the divided portion.

Abstract: In a multiple automatic packing machine comprising a slitter for slitting a wide sheet-like packing material supplied from a take-up roll into a plurality of packing films, a heat sealing device for seal molding each of the packing films into an elongated bag-like configuration by a vertical heat sealer and a lateral heat sealer, and a material filling device for filling a material to be packed into each of the packing films which has been seal molded into an elongated bag-like configuration through a feed pipe with a filling screw disposed therein which screw is rotatable by a motor, the slitting, heat sealing and material filling operations being repeatedly performed in a consecutive manner by the slitter, heat sealing device and material filling device, respectively, thereby a plurality of stick-like packing products are seal molded at a time automatically and in a consecutive manner, a packing film feeder for the multiple automatic packing machine being characterized in that the feed pipes constituting th

Abstract: A multiple automatic packing machine packs a material by continuously and repeatedly slitting a wide sheet-like packing material into a predetermined number of packing films fed from a take-up roll, seal-molding each of the packing films into a bag-like configuration by a vertical sealer and a lateral sealer, filling the material to be packed into each of the packing films, withdrawing each of the packing films by lowering the lateral sealer a portion equal to the length of the bag to be formed, raising the lowered lateral sealer back to a location before the lateral sealing by laterally opening the lateral sealer, and cutting a center line portion of the lateral seal of each of the packing films.
