  • Patent number: 6604340
    Abstract: A packaging machine for packaging an article having a lateral side along which a sealing line is formed by heat sealing operation is disclosed. The packaging machine includes a machine frame having transversely-extending rails on which a conveyor for carrying the article and a package film for packaging the article is movably supported whereby the conveyor and thus the article and the package film are transversely position-adjustable. A side sealing device includes a film forwarding device for synchronously moving the package film with the article in a longitudinal direction. A position-adjusting device comprises a support structure attached to the conveyor to be transversely position-adjustable. A movable chassis is movably coupled to the support structure by means of a screw rod whereby rotation of the screw rod moves the chassis with respect to the support structure in a vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 6526732
    Abstract: A packaging system includes a conveyor belt having a carrying surface for carrying an article to be packaged by a package film and an end sealing device including spaced upper and lower sealing blocks between which the article passes. A recessed chamber is formed in the carrying surface by extending the conveyor belt around specially arranged rollers. The end sealing device includes a machine frame slidably supported on rails. A driving system includes a motor and a reciprocating mechanism having an adjustable stroke coupling the machine frame to the motor. The rollers of the recessed chamber are attached to the machine frame to be movable therewith. The upper and lower sealing blocks are movably supported on the machine frame by upright posts with the lower sealing block accommodated in the chamber of the conveyor. Racks extend from the upper and lower sealing blocks with a toothed wheel matingly interposed therebetween for mechanically coupling the sealing blocks together.
