Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging machine (1) in which a material web is transported cyclically, having: a thermoforming station (2), which, during each cycle, forms a pattern of a plurality of pack cavities in the material web, —a filling station (7) in which an article is introduced into each pack cavity, —a sealing station (19), which fastens an upper material web integrally on the material web, wherein, prior to the integral connection being made, the pack cavity has gas evacuated from it and/or admitted to it, and—a cutting device (27), by means of which the packs produced in this way are separated from the material webs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging machine (1), comprising a deep-drawing station (2), which forms packaging wells in a material web (8), and a sealing station (19), which bonds a top material web to the material web, wherein before the bonded connection the packaging well is degassed and/or gassed, and a cutting unit, which separates the packagings thus produced from the material webs. The invention further relates to a method for producing a packaging, in which a material web is transported in cycles along a packaging machine, and during each cycle one or more packaging wells are formed in the material web and the packaging well is then filled with a product to be packaged, and then a cover film is sealed onto the packaging well, wherein before sealing a vacuum is drawn and/or a gas exchange is carried out in the packaging well.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for changing the upper and lower tool of a packaging machine. The invention further relates to a packaging machine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging machine with a forming station, which forms depressions in a sheet of film, wherein a heating element heats the sheet of film before the deforming, in which the heating element has a multiplicity of discrete heating means which can be activated individually or in groups, and so the sheet of film has temperature gradients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging with a packaging trough, into which a packaging material can be filled and which is closed with a lid, whereby at least one form-fit connection connects the packaging trough with the lid and the connection comprises a first and a second connector.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging with a packaging tray, into which a product for packing can be filled and which is closed with a lid, whereby at least one form-fit connection connects the packaging tray with the lid and the connection includes first and second connection elements. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for the production of a packaging as well as a packaging machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging machine for packing food products in a plastic packaging, said machine comprising a device for applying a transponder to the plastic packaging, and a system for data exchange between the transponder and a computer unit and/or a regulating unit, by which means data can be transmitted to the transponder or called therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging machine having a deep-drawing, filling and sealing station, by way of which a packaging cavity having a recess in the packaging cavity edge is shaped into a plastic film, the packaging cavity is filled with a material for packaging, and subsequently an upper foil is sealed onto the packaging cavity edge in the sealing plane, wherein a cutting tool is integrated into the sealing tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging machine, wherein at least one tool can be displaced to a lowered or to a lifted position by means of a lifting system, the lifting station being driven by at least one adjustable pneumatic/hydraulic drive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cutter knife (8), a cutter head disk (1) and a system including the inventive cutter head disk and the inventive knife, wherein the cutter knife includes a longitudinal bore enabling only one cutter knife to be arranged on the cutter head disk, the longitudinal bore thereof being compatible with the pin. The scaling on the longitudinal bore makes it possible to verify the position of the cutter knife in relation to the cutter head disk.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cutter head disk for a meat cutter, on which at least one knife can be mounted by means of eccentric bolts and optional magnets and which is provided with a metallic core for accommodating the drive shaft. Preferably, the core comprises a plastic envelope. The invention further relates to a knife having a geometry that is provided with a great axial load-bearing capability. Also disclosed are a system comprising a cutter head disk and two knives, a cutter head encompassing several systems, and a method for assembling a cutter head.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging machine comprising a device for producing a deep-drawn plastic packaging tray and a welding device for welding a top foil to a packaging tray, wherein at least the packaging tray is made from a shrinkable plastic foil. A method for producing packages with the aid of at least one shrinkable foil is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tensioning piece, a conveyor chain, and to a means for opening and closing the tensioning piece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning webs of film of a packaging device, according to which goods are introduced into a first web of film in troughs, a second web of film is withdrawn from a supply of web against the resistance of a brake and is placed on the first web of film and interlinked with the same, the advance of the second web downstream of the supply of web being detected by a first optical recognition means. In order to exactly position the two films one on the other, a second recognition means is provided that detects any dimensional errors, thereby changing the position of the first recognition means relative to the direction of conveyance of the second web of film.
