Abstract: Device for separating stacked flat bag pieces, comprising a supporting structure, which is pivot-mounted in a frame and is provided with a drive, and on which suction rollers can be rotated, whose drive is in a direction of rotation opposite to the supporting structure's direction of rotation. A stacking cassette is positioned in such a manner at the enveloping cylinder, described by the rows of suction elements or suction rollers that each row of suction elements in each roller pulls a bag piece from said cassette. To prevent the trailing side edges of the bag pieces from folding over, the bag pieces are held in the stacking cassette with offset cuts, facing outwardly in the direction of the axis of rotation.

The intermediate conveyor, assigned to at least one filling machine, is designed as a traversible elevator at least over some regions. When in the working position, the discharge end of the conveyor corresponds with one of the conveyor belts, arranged above the required passage height necessary to move the sack filling machine or the truck.

Abstract: To prevent socalled fish eyes or to reduce the number of fish eyes per unit of area in plastic films, manufactured according to the casting process or according to the blown film process, the number of fish eyes per unit of area is measured in the tubular film, which is cast or blown or collapsed. When the measurement reveals a number of fish eyes per unit of area that exceed a specified value, nitrogen or antioxidants are blown or put into the hopper until the number of fish eyes per unit of area falls below a critical number.

For the purpose of identifying the respective welding bar, which has executed a specific weld on a film tube passing through, an embossing die, which provides the welded web with a distinct marking, characterizing the welding bar, which has executed the respective weld, is mounted in the circumferential direction in front of or behind each welding bar.

Abstract: A welding cylinder, which is mounted in a frame, is provided with welding bars, which can be adjusted continuously in the radial direction, run parallel to the axis of rotation, and are distributed at uniform angular intervals over the circumference. One part of the welding cylinder's circumference is enveloped by a continuous pressure belt, whose loose side travels over guide rolls and rollers of a web storage. Between the guide rollers, bordering the pressure strand of the pressure belt, the web, to be provided with cross welds, runs up onto the welding cylinder and down from it. To adjust in a simple manner the guide rolls of the pressure belt to the different diameters of the welding cylinder, two swivelling and locking levers, whose free ends bear the guide rollers, over which the pressure belt runs up onto the welding cylinder and down from it, are mounted in the machine frame.

In order to create a process that excludes the possibility that mixtures of granulates or powders with incorrect mixing ratios occur through installation of inappropriate screw shafts in metering screws, the screws are coded and the code is electronically identifiable.

Abstract: A variable-diameter knife roll is provided with a knife extending parallel to the axis of the roll placed generally radially on a diametral plane, such knife being mounted on a knife carrier able to be adjusted radially outwardly and inwardly. In order to be able to rapidly and simply set the knife roll to suit different formats the knife carrier is articulatingly connected with the joints connecting the two links of two expanding grilles or with respectively one of the arms extending past such joints, of one of the links of the two expanding grilles. Respectively one inner joint of a link of one of the two expanding grilles is arranged fixedly on a knife roller shaft and the respectively other inner joint of the other link is arranged for adjustment in the axial direction on or in the knife roll shaft.

Abstract: When manufacturing bags from tubular paper sections of a single layer or multiple layers, at least one end of each flat, tubular section is expanded into a bottom square. Lateral flaps formed in this way are folded such that they overlap and partially cover corner flaps. In order to easily bond expanded bottom squares together, the regions of the tubular sections which are to be bonded together are provided with coatings of thermoplastic which are heated and pressed together.

Abstract: The handles of bags, provided with legs, are cemented to both sides of the opening sides of the bags. The handles are U-shaped handles made of strip-shaped material. Parts of the handles are folded over onto the side walls of the bags and fastened with adhesive spots to the side walls of the bags or to the non-folded over segments of the legs. After the legs have been glued to the continuously conveyed bags, the handle parts are folded over onto the side walls of the bags around prerupture lines of the legs in the direction of transport. The handle parts are folded over by at least one fold-over rod extending at a right angle to the direction of transport.

A blade cylinder pushes a respective lead end of a slip into an open gripper of a gripper cylinder. A device is arranged between the advancement roll pair and the blade cylinder and provides transverse perforated lines. A rotating tear-off segment cooperates with the blade cylinder. In order to enable a simple and rapid adaptation to different slip formats, the advancement speed of the advancement rolls, the transverse perforating device and the angle of action of the tear-off segment are correspondingly changed relative to the blade cylinder.

Abstract: To control the film thickness in a blown film extrusion line with reversing or rotating takeoff of the film bubble, the thickness profile of the blown film bubble is measured over its circumference. Different temperatures can be applied to sections of the film bubble by a die ring divided into heating sections provided with control elements or by heating elements, forming a ring around the extruded film bubble and provided with control elements. In order to correctly assign the position of the measured thickness profile to the heating sections of the die ring or the heating elements, the extruded film bubble is provided with a mark in the region of the die ring or the heating elements and the rotation of this mark is measured by a measuring device at specified intervals from the die ring or the heating elements.

Abstract: A casing for printing presses includes a mantle tube of aluminum and provided with inner, collar-like bands. The casing is shrunk over a two-layer inner tube. The use of hard foam used, in known casings, to connect the outer mantle tube to the inner, two-layer tube can be eliminated in this way. This is advantageous since practical operations have shown that hard foam is susceptible to chemical, thermal and mechanical stresses.
