Abstract: A device for splicing and continuously providing an outgoing film web includes a splicing unit for splicing a first or a second incoming film web to the outgoing film web, and a clamping unit and an intermediate film storage for the outgoing film web. The splicing unit includes a first sealing jaw with a first holding device for the outgoing film web, and a first cutting device for severing the outgoing film web in the region of the first sealing jaw. The splicing unit includes a second sealing jaw with a second holding device alternately for the first or the second incoming film web, and a second cutting device for severing this incoming film web. The sealing jaws with their respective holding devices can be displaced relative to one another out of the region of action of their first and second cutting devices into their mutual region of action.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a film transportation plate and a film transportation system for transporting a film web through processing stations of a film packaging machine. The film transportation plate has two opposite lateral edges and, therebetween, at least one mold impression for thermoforming the film web. Retainers for the film web are arranged on the two lateral edges. The retainers are each formed by a fixed clamping surface and at least one clamping jaw, which is movable relative to the clamping surface, for pressing the film web so as to clamp it against the clamping surface. The retainers also each have at least one retaining magnet for attracting the clamping jaw against the clamping surface, and an actuating extension for lifting the clamping jaw off the clamping surface. The film transportation system also includes actuating means which act on the actuating extensions of the clamping jaws.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a deep-drawing apparatus for deep-drawing a continuously fed film web, an associated packaging machine, and a corresponding method. A cyclically sequenced forming station, which runs along from a start position to an end position and runs back from there to the start position is provided, wherein individual format plates are sequentially firstly connected up to a forming vacuum device and then with a following holding vacuum channel. The forming vacuum device is part of the cyclically moved forming station. The holding vacuum channel includes two interlocking telescopic channel portions, a first telescopic channel portion being part of the cyclically moved forming station, and a second telescopic channel portion being mounted statically relative to the fixed machine frame.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a cutting post for mounting on a cutting apparatus and to the cutting apparatus. The cutting apparatus has at least one cutting blade and at least one cutting post. The cutting post includes at least one receptacle for the cutting blade and at least one cutting element having a cutting edge arranged at the head end of the cutting post. The cutting blade has a cutting blade edge and is held in the receptacle of the cutting post. The cutting blade edge of the cutting blade and the cutting edge of the cutting element of the cutting post conjointly form a continuous cutting contour.

Abstract: A packaging includes a base foil and a cover foil, the base foil and/or the cover foil being formed from a water-soluble foil web. The apparatus includes a liquid supply for a water-containing liquid, at least one moistening unit, and a pressing device. The moistening unit is formed as a spraying device for contactlessly spraying the liquid onto the foil web and is positioned at a distance (a) from the foil web. The spraying device includes an electromechanical spraying system with a row of outlet nozzles for spraying the liquid onto the foil web. The water-soluble foil web is supplied to the sealing apparatus. A water-containing liquid is sprayed onto the foil web via the spraying device. The cover foil is led onto the base foil and is pressed and sealed together therewith, in the state in which they are wetted with the liquid, via a pressing device.

Abstract: A filling system for filling powder into a target container to be sealed has a metering device for metering a partial quantity of the powder to be filled in. A compaction element for the powder is arranged below the metering device. The compaction element can be lowered from above into the target container. The compaction element is a shaking element with a shaking drive. During filling of the target container with the powder, the shaking element at least partially projects from above into the target container. The shaking element has a bottom edge provided with a shaking projection, wherein the shaking projection, beginning at the bottom edge, extends downwardly. During filling of the target container with the powder, only the shaking projection of the shaking element projects from above into the target container and the shaking element as a whole does not contact the target container.
