Abstract: A web position matching system for matching marks provided on a web of packaging material with a pitch corresponding to the length of one container, to a reference position comprises sensor device for detecting the displacement of the mark from the reference position, setting device for setting a usual amount of feed obtained by adding a predetermined amount of advance to a predetermined reference amount of feed corresponding to the length of one container when the displacement detected by the sensor device is smaller than a predetermined allowable displacement or setting a corrected amount of feed obtained by subtracting a predetermined amount of delay from the reference amount of feed when the detected displacement are not smaller than the allowable displacement, and device for correcting the usual amount of feed and the corrected amount of feed based on a pattern of frequencies with which the usual amount of feed and the corrected amount of feed are set by the setting device.

Abstract: To provide a heat-sealing apparatus capable of achieving an excellent heat-sealing even when heat-sealing under severe conditions with a fluid, such as when filling/packing a vegetable juice abundant in water-insoluble vegetable fiber. The high-frequency heat-sealing apparatus is comprised of an openable-and-closable sealing jaw 23 and opposing jaw 25 which transversely heat-seals a tubular packing material with a fluid, wherein a ridge 31 shaped to contain a partial curve is so formed on the action face of a high-frequency coil 22 flush with the action face of the sealing jaw that it can press the central portion of a sealed zone having two rounded and narrowed right and left sides, a groove 34 which forms a molten thermoplastic resin puddle is formed on the action face adjacent to the outer side on the container's interior side of a sealed zone, and in addition, a flash portion 33 for a molten resin is formed adjacent to the outer side on the cutting side of a high-frequency coil.

Abstract: A web position matching system for matching marks provided on a web of packaging material with a pitch corresponding to the length of one container, to a reference position comprises sensor means for detecting the displacement of the mark from the reference position, setting means for setting a usual amount of feed obtained by adding a predetermined amount of advance to a predetermined reference amount of feed corresponding to the length of one container when the displacement detected by the sensor means is smaller than a predetermined allowable displacement or setting a corrected amount of feed obtained by subtracting a predetermined amount of delay from the reference amount of feed when the detected displacement are not smaller than the allowable displacement, and means for correcting the usual amount of feed and the corrected amount of feed based on a pattern of frequencies with which the usual amount of feed and the corrected amount of feed are set by the setting means.

Abstract: The action pattern of the amount of web feeding by the lug folding flaps is made optimal in accordance with deviations of detection marks, such as specified printing patterns on the printing surface on web W, from the reference values when they are detected, and the pressing force applied onto web W by dancer roller 9 is stepwise or continuously adjusted according to the detection of the patterns. Therefore, in comparison with the conventional examples, it is possible to widen the corrective range for the amount of web feeding. Thus, the tolerance for printing errors on web W can be increased, and it is possible to operate the equipment without stopping. Furthermore, it is possible to produce packaging containers with printing patterns applied at appointed positions, and faulty products are eliminated.

Abstract: A packaging container production method for forming tubular web from sheet-like web and producing hexahedral packaging containers, wherein in order to secure a prescribed web W feeding amount, the operating amount of lug folding flaps, which forms a sealing part on tubular web by pressing both sides of the tubular web while folding the same, is set an idealistic position, pressure is generated at a cylinder 16 by a control device 23 via a control valve 31, in compliance with the deviation of the detection mark such as a specified printing pattern on the printing surface on web W from the reference position when the same is detected, and the tension applied onto web W is adjusted by the dancer roller 9.

Abstract: The invention is to provide a method and a device, etc. for molding tubes, free from any fear of the web being broken, which do not generate any wrinkle on a web when molding a plate-like web to rectangular parallelpiped packaging containers via a tubular web. In a tube molding method of the invention for molding a plate-like web to a tubular web while transferring the former along the roller surface formed by a plurality of rollers 11 through 13 of the molding roller 4, a roller supporting plate 16 is turned by a tightening member 29 while being position-regulated by a roller 25 attached to the roller attaching arm 23 so that web is transferred on the basis of the hypothetical center axis line (Point X) of the tubular web, which is formed by the roller surface constituted by the rollers 11 through 13, wherein the web in the lengthwise direction can be accurately transferred so that the same web takes a predetermined orientation of the rollers 11 through 13.

Abstract: Featured is a web sealing device for controlling the sealing pressure so as to carry out a sufficient sealing while monitoring the sealing pressure directly acting on the web. Also featured is a packaging container producing equipment using the aforementioned sealing device and a packaging container producing method using the same. When sealing a part of web W by engaging hooks 16a, 16b, which directly give a sealing pressure to the web W in order to seal a part of both web N by heating and melting both side surfaces of a double web while pressing the same, the strain amount of the hooks 16a, 16b is measured by a strain gauge 23.

Abstract: A stamping device includes two stamp rollers and a support member having the two stamp rollers mounted thereon and arranged on a circumference having a center at a center of pivotal movement. The stamp rollers are spaced apart by a predetermined angle about the center, a rotary actuator for pivotally moving the support member so that one of the stamp rollers in a stamping position and the other stamp rollers in a standby position are alternately shiftable to the other position, and drive means for rotating the stamp roller in the stamping position.

Abstract: A web sterilizing device comprising a sterilizing solution tank 51, web guide means for guiding a web W so as to bring the web w into the tank 51, dip the web w in a sterilizing solution within the tank 51 and thereafter move the web W out of the tank 51, a pair of endless chains 105 extending in parallel to each other both inside and outside the tank 51, chain guide means for guiding the chains 105 so as to move the chains 105 along respective opposite sides of a path for the web W to move along by being guided through the tank 51 by the web guide means, and a web engaging member 133 extending between and connected to the chains 105.
