Abstract: A spout (1, 401, 601) having a plastic spout body which comprises an attachment portion (10, 410, 610) having a vertical first plane of symmetry (M1) with a vertical first sealing wall (11, 411, 611) and an opposed vertical second sealing wall (12, 412, 612), and with a transverse wall (20), which is integrally connected to an upper edge of the first sealing wall and to an upper edge of the second sealing wall, wherein the first sealing wall and the second sealing wall each depend from said transverse wall and each have a bottom edge (114, 115, 541, 515, 714, 715) remote from the upper edge. Each sealing wall is, seen in a bottom view of the attachment portion, composed of a first rectilinear portion (111, 121, 511, 521, 711, 721), a central curved portion (113, 123, 513, 523, 713, 723), and a second rectilinear portion (112, 122, 512, 522, 712, 722). The spout body has a tubular neck (30) having a bore (31) that adjoins an opening (21) in the transverse wall.

Abstract: A sealing station configured to heat seal a wall made from heat-sealable film material, preferably metal-free heat-sealable film material, onto one another wall of heat-sealable material, e.g. another wall of heat-sealable film material, to create a sealed seam. The sealing station comprises an impulse sealing device comprising a first jaw and a second jaw, wherein at least the first jaw comprises at the respective front surface thereof at least one, e.g. a single elongated, impulse heatable member that extends along the respective front surface and that is covered by a heat-resistant non-stick covering.
