  • Patent number: 6302330
    Abstract: Method and device for checking patterns (1) disposed on a material strip (30) which patterns (1) consist of groups of dark and light areas (2,2*,3,3*) succeeding in the travelling direction (v) of the material strip (30) and the checking respectively, by displacing the position of the dark areas (2,3) and/or the light areas (2*,3*) of one group with respect to a related detector (8,9) in regard to the dark areas (2,3) and/or light areas (2*,3*) of another group with respect to another related detector (8,9) by detecting the existence or non-existence of dark areas and/or light areas and by creating a sequence of output signals dependent on the result of the detection by combining the output signals comprising information concerning said dark or light areas (2,2*,3,3*) of each detector (8,9) with the output signals depending on the detection of one of said dark or light areas (2,2*,3,3*) of the other detector (8,9) in a predetermined way by for example alternately activating each detector (8,9) by the other de

  • Patent number: 5569438
    Abstract: In an apparatus for treating, for purposes of sterilization, a continuous material web a first treatment station is provided and includes a device for bringing a material web into contact with liquefied hydrogen peroxide. A second treatment station is also provided in which the material web is simultaneously sterilized with hydrogen peroxide vapor and dried with heated air after treatment of the material web in the first treatment station. The second treatment station includes an elongate chamber having an inlet and outlet, the material web being dried and thereby generating hydrogen peroxide vapor as it is led through the elongate chamber from the inlet to the outlet. The second treatment station also includes an outer flow duct in flow communication with the inlet and outlet of the elongate chamber.

  • Patent number: 5424034
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for treating, for purposes of sterilization, a continuous material web (16) by bringing the entire web or parts thereof intended for sterilization into contact with liquefied hydrogen peroxide and thereafter drying the web with the aid of a hot gaseous fluid.In order to improve the degree of destruction of micro-organisms present on the material web, the material web is dried, after contact with the liquefied hydrogen peroxide, with air which has been intentionally supplied with hydrogen peroxide.

  • Patent number: 4704509
    Abstract: An arrangement for the sealing of thermoplastic-coated packing material of the type which includes at least one layer of an aluminum foil. The arrangement includes an inductor (3) connectable to a high-frequency source of current which is constituted of a U-shaped loop of electrically conducting material. The legs of the U-shaped loop are parallel and are situated close to each other, and the inductor (3) a core (10) of ferrite material between its legs. The core of ferrite material has local inserts (11) of ferrite material of substantially higher permeability than the surrounding portions of the core (10) and the local inserts (11) are installed in regions of the sealing arrangement where strong local heating is required in the sealing joint or where the sealing pattern needs to be influenced.

  • Patent number: 4617779
    Abstract: The manufacture of non-returnable packages is frequently carried out by the conversion of web-shaped, laminated packing material to a tube, filling of the tube with milk, and sealing and forming the filled packing containers to the desired shape. During the forming, which is done by external forming devices, the contents are used as a mandrel or a holder-up for the forming device, so that the desired shape can be achieved without creasing or other deformations. The above-mentioned forming principle works less well if the packing containers are not completely filled, but have a certain air space or headspace. The proportioning of the contents also becomes uncertain and the desired accuracy of volume cannot always be achieved. These difficulties are overcome by the invention wherein a sealed off part of the packing material tube is pressurized with the help of gas during the forming process, so that the internal back pressure required during the forming is obtained, independently of the quantity of contents.

  • Patent number: 4512935
    Abstract: The presterilization of packaging machines for the manufacture of aseptic packing containers can be carried out with the help of sterile air and liquid sterilizing agent, which are blended so that a gas saturated with sterilizing agent of a suitable temperature and dew point is obtained. In order to achieve a rapid and effective volatilization of the liquid a circulating movement is imparted to the hot sterile air as the sterile liquid is introduced into the center of the circulating movement. An apparatus using this method comprises a chamber with a helical guide rail and a spray nozzle for the sterilizing liquid.
