  • Patent number: 11891202
    Abstract: A packaging machine which unwinds a bottom film web from a supply roll and conveys it intermittently or continuously along the packaging machine and in a forming station, forms into the bottom film web packaging cavities, which are then filled with a product to be packaged. In a sealing station, a top film web is sealed to the bottom film web, wherein the bottom and top film web are respectively unwound from a supply roll and the bottom and top film web are respectively tensioned by means of a dancer roll. The supply roll is driven by means of a motor, the parameters of which, in particular rotation speed and/or torque, can be set on the basis of the parameters of the respective supply roll.

  • Patent number: 11767138
    Abstract: A packaging machine and a method for controlling the position of a lower and/or upper material web on a packaging machine. A lower material web is unwound from a supply roll and transported intermittently or continuously along the packaging machine. Packaging recesses are optionally formed in the lower material web in a forming station, and the lower material web, preferably the packaging recesses, are then filled with products to be packaged. An upper material web is then sealed to the lower material web in a sealing station, the lower and upper material web each being unwound from a supply roll.

  • Publication number: 20230152965
    Abstract: A method for presenting parameters of a food machine, a food processing machine, or a food packaging machine, by a display device, where a memory stores a first recipe that includes multiple parameters that each have an assigned first parameter value and stores a second recipe that includes multiple parameters that each have an assigned second parameter value; where in an ascertainment step, a parameter is ascertained that is contained in the first recipe and in the second recipe and that has an assigned first parameter value of the first recipe and an assigned second parameter value of the second recipe, which differ from each other; and in a first display step, the display device is used to display the first parameter value and the second parameter value for the ascertained parameter at the same time.
