Abstract: A device for use with a packaging machine for continuous singulating of a packaging container chain. A frame is provided having a circular shape to guide a packaging container chain along a predetermined circular track. The container chain includes a plurality of uniformly spaced container zones joined together by link zones. A plurality of knives are positioned along the frame at areas corresponding to the link zones and move in a direction perpendicular to the track to sever the packaging container chain at each of the link zones.

Abstract: A sheeting web consisting of foldable material, preferably of paper or cardboard, is described. The web enables a product, preferably a liquid, to be packaged continuously. The sheeting web has parallel spaced longitudinal edges (31, 32). Four continuous longitudinal folds (4) running parallel to the longitudinal edges (31, 32), uniformly spaced continuous first transverse folds (6, 7, 8) at right angles to the longitudinal edges (31, 32), and continuous second transverse folds (71, 8) at a given distance from and parallel to the first transverse folds (6, 7, 8) are provided, with the result that four contiguous rectangles in a transverse direction and a rectangular end strip connected to these are available.

Abstract: A filling and packaging machine for continuous filling and packaging of containers made from a sheeting tube (51) is described. It consists of a frame in which an extended sheeting tube (51) of rectangular cross-section can be fed vertically downwards (52). A plurality of uniformly spaced guide elements (2) are provided which can be tracked longitudinally on opposite sides of the sheeting tube (51) at the same speed as it and which have a U-shaped part facing the sheeting tube (51) with a base which can be placed flush against one face of the sheeting tube and two lateral faces projecting at right angles and enclosing the sheeting tube (51). A plurality of uniformly spaced, convex (in the direction of the sheeting tube (51)) pressure elements (2) which are located between the guide elements (2) and are capable of travelling with them have a front face (54) directed towards the sheeting tube (51) and lateral faces (55) connected to this.
