  • Patent number: 11801986
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a sealed-edge pouch with a laminate composite stored therein. In some non-limiting embodiments or aspects the laminate composite is detached from a laminate composite web having a carrier film with substrates which are arranged thereon and are covered by means of a respective cover film. An intermediate body is supplied to the laminate composite web or to the laminate composite or is moulded into the carrier film such that the intermediate body or the intermediate bodies surrounds/surround all of the free surfaces of the substrate at least in regions. The laminate composite and all of the intermediate bodies are introduced between two packaging material webs. The packaging material webs are sealed to each other. Finally, the sealed-edge pouches are separated. A device for producing sealed-edge pouches and a sealed-edge pouch produced according to this method are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11465311
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus comprising a separating tool and comprising a counterpressure plate for producing contour geometries in adhesive-containing composite materials, wherein the separating tool can be moved in translational tool stroke directions between an inoperative position and a parting position normal to the counterpressure plate, and also to a method for producing contour geometries in adhesive-containing composite materials by means of an apparatus of this kind. The separating tool and the counterpressure plate can be actuated relative to one another by means of at least one actuator in at least one excitation direction with a ramp function and/or with a jump function. Each of these excitation directions lies in a parallel plane to a cutting edge plane of the separating tool. The present invention permits reliable separation of a stamped grid from laminate sections which remain on a carrier film.
