  • Patent number: 11203163
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for making a sealing connection between two material layers containing plastic, especially in a product packing pouch (2), having at least one sealing station (3), comprising at least two sealing jaws (4a, 4b) situated opposite each other and movable between an open position and a sealing position, having respectively a sealing surface (5a, 5b) on their inner side facing toward the other respective sealing jaw (4b, 4a), wherein the sealing station (3) is configured such that in the open position at least two material layers (6, 7, 8) to be joined together by sealing can be arranged between the sealing jaws (4a, 4b) and in the sealing position the material layers (6, 7, 8) can be pressed together.

  • Publication number: 20180029758
    Abstract: A closure device for a container for aseptically receiving a flowable product has a spout with a product filling duct extending axially between a first end and a second end. The closure device has a closure cap which can be mounted onto the spout. In the mounted state, the cap closes the second end of the product filling duct. The closure cap is connectable in axially positively locking fashion to the spout in two axially different positions. The first position is a position in which the closure cap is not fully mounted on the spout, and the second position is a position in which the closure cap is fully mounted on the spout. The closure cap can bear sealingly against the spout in the first position and in the second position to optimize sterility during the filling process.

  • Patent number: 9517588
    Abstract: This invention relates to a specially adapted spouted closure that has oppositely positioned protruding tabular features that enable it to be heat welded or bonded to another closure of the same kind as shown in FIG. 15. The protruding tabs being so formed to enable a plurality of closures to form chains and to allow a degree of movement in an orthogonal direction to the orientation of the spout. The part of the rigid closure that attaches to the flexible part of the packaging being orientated in a way that allows adjacent containers to overlap with one another. The protruding tab of the rigid closure being formed in a position relative to rest of the closure to enable the closure to pass along a guide rail without snagging.

  • Publication number: 20130318916
    Abstract: A packaging for a liquid filling with a product packaging pouch made out of a liquid-tight and elastic material and having a reaction chamber pouch made out of a liquid-tight and elastic material. The reaction chamber pouch is completely closed, and is arranged inside the product packaging pouch and partially filled with a first reactant. An inner pouch made out of a liquid-tight and elastic material is completely closed, is arranged inside the reaction chamber pouch and exhibits a predetermined breaking point that yields when its interior pressure is increased, and is filled with a second reactant. The first and second reactant induce a temperature change upon coming into contact with each other. As a result, a temperature change can be initiated by the user on the one hand, while minimizing the risk that the filling will become contaminated with chemicals on the other.

  • Publication number: 20130199209
    Abstract: A method for controlled temperature change of substances, in which the course of an endo- or exothermic reaction of one or several reactants in aqueous solution, which is in direct or indirect contact with the substances, is influenced using galenic methods is disclosed. At least one of the reactants is present in a solid form and is at least partly included in a galenic matrix. The galenic matrix is at least partly in a form such as tablets, granules, prills, pellets, rods or combinations thereof. The galenic matrix is differently strongly pressed and/or agglomerated in at least one of different regions and different parts. Also disclosed is a galenic matrix containing at least one solid reactant and methods of using such a galenic matrix.

  • Patent number: 7217231
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for sealing-in pouring spouts in bags (1), comprising at least one station for opening (4) the bag (1), a station for inserting (4) the pouring spout into the opened bag (1), and at least one station for sealing (5, 6, 7) the bag (1) and the pouring spout. According to the invention, such a device is improved with a view to simple design and high processing speed in that the stations (2–8) for bag processing are arranged on a linear transport system (11) for the bags (1), which linear transport system (11) is formed by two transport belts (9, 10), and in that the stations (2–8) for bag processing are all arranged in a grid of equal spacing.
