Abstract: A device for separating at least one conveyed surface element, a plastic film or a plastic film composite material, into individual components, includes at least one punching tool, which has at least one punching beam that operates against an anvil and is held in place by a framework. The punching beam and the framework are connected to one another via a pendulum joint, wherein the pendulum axis of the pendulum joint runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the punching beam. This device enables a clean separation of the plastic film or plastic film composite material.

Abstract: A packaging machine for packaging goods in film packages, equipped with a device for receiving and holding a surface element roll, so as to process it in a packaging machine by unrolling the surface element and introducing the surface element into the packaging machine, comprising an axle to be incorporated into the surface element roll on its rotational axis of symmetry, wherein the axle is received in a swivel receiver, and the axle for unrolling the surface element is held with the swivel receiver in a roughly vertical alignment.

Abstract: A horizontal conveyor for transporting bulk materials, in particular of containers for food, has at least one conveyor belt encompassing at least one assembly surface for the material to be conveyed. There is at least one sliding part, which is moveably guided parallel to the conveying direction thereof, be arranged below the assembly surface of the conveyor belt. At least one drive is assigned to the sliding part for its positively driven motion. There is at least one height-adjustable actuator for the material to be conveyed, arranged on the sliding part. The actuator is capable of being brought into an entrainment position, that projects into the plane of the assembly surface by means of a lifting device. A discontinuous conveyance of materials is possible in a simple manner with this horizontal conveyor.

Abstract: In the case of a method for the gastight packaging of objects using a film material fitting tightly on the objects using a vacuum, the object being placed in a tray and a deep-drawable film being attached to the tray for sealing, it is provided that a tray having at least one peripheral rim is used to form the packaging, the deep-drawable film is cut to the size of the peripheral rim, and that the deep-drawable film is subsequently and/or simultaneously applied to the peripheral rim in a gastight manner. A device preferably for carrying out this method has at least one cutting device for the deep-drawable film.

Abstract: In a method for the gas-tight packing of objects with film material bearing tightly against the objects, by means of a vacuum, wherein the object is inserted in a bowl and a deep-drawable film is connected to the bowl for sealing the bowl, and wherein a bowl with at least one peripheral edge is used for forming the packaging material, the deep-drawable film is cut to the dimension of the peripheral edge and the deep-drawable film is subsequently or simultaneously applied to the peripheral edge in a gas-tight manner. A further film is then cut to the dimension of the peripheral edge during the application of the deep-drawable film, or after its application, and the further film is subsequently or simultaneously applied to the peripheral edge. The further film remains approximately in the plane of the peripheral edge after its application. A system for the gas-tight packing of objects with a first cutting device for a deep-drawable film has at least one cutting device for a further film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive article comprising a bondable layer having on at least one major surface a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive, wherein the bondable layer comprises a thermosetting material, a thermoplastic material, or a hybrid material, wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive layer substantially retains pressure sensitive adhesive characteristics after storage at room temperature for at least about three months prior to bonding the adhesive article, and the adhesive article has a overlap shear measured at room temperature according to ASTM D-1002-94 of at least about 6.9 MPa after bonding as well as a method for making an adhesive article.
