Abstract: The invention relates to a method as well as to an apparatus for manufacturing packaging units in a tubular bag forming, filling and sealing machine. Separated products (46, 47) are transferred to a portioning device (20) by means of a horizontal conveyor (18) in order to manufacture portion units (21) with a defined arrangement and number of products, and the portion units, which are enveloped by a film web (34), are subsequently conveyed to a separating device with the help of a vertical conveyor (22) in order to separate the packaging units. The portioning device is used both to manufacture the portion units and to synchronize the portioning device with the horizontal conveyor and the vertical conveyor.

Abstract: In a method and an appliance for manufacturing a blister pack having a carboard inlay (blister cardboard pack) a blister pack is provided as an endless tape having the products sealed in blisters. At a unification station a cardboard inlay having recesses for the blisters of the blister pack and having in the direction of conveyance of the blister pack substantially the length of a blister cardboard pack, is placed true-to-size on the blister pack tape, the recesses of the cardboard inlay surrounding the blisters of the blister pack. By a feed pawl, a holding collet and outfeed rollers the blister pack tape is fed to the unification station incrementally and further conveyed incrementally after placement of the cardboard inlay. In a sealing station the cardboard inlay is sealed to the blister pack tape. Subsequently the individual blister cardboard packs are separated from the blister cardboard pack tape in a cutting station.
