  • Patent number: 9079361
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for welding and separating a packaging material (4) for a package, comprising an ultrasonic welding device (2) with a sonotrode (3) and an anvil (5) for sealing the packaging material (4), wherein the sonotrode (3) is rotatable about a first axis of rotation (X) and the anvil (5) is rotatable about a second axis of rotation (Y), and a cutting device (6) with at least one blade (7) for separating the packaging material (4), which device is arranged in the anvil (5), wherein the at least one blade (7) is arranged on the anvil (5) in such a way that a minimum distance (5) between the sonotrode (3) and a cutting edge (8) of the blade (7) is maintained, and so the packaging material (4) can be severed without any contact between the sonotrode (3) and the blade (7).
