Abstract: A method for packaging products, wherein packaging material web is transported in direction of an upwardly open pair of folding claws, is cut to length while forming a planar blank of the wrapper, and the blank is positioned above the folding claws, wherein the product is metered, the product portion is pre-shaped, and the blank by placing thereon the pre-shaped product portion is folded into the claws while forming the upwardly open wrapper. Thereafter, the upward-projecting lateral longitudinal peripheries of the wrapper are folded inward onto the product portion, whereupon the transverse peripheries of the wrapper which extend perpendicular thereto are folded inward onto the product portion. The lateral longitudinal peripheries and transverse peripheries of the wrapper are folded inward onto the product portion and are simultaneously connected to one another, while the wrapper provided with the product portion is still situated in the pair of folding claws.

Abstract: A method for the portioned packaging of liquid or pasty products using a packaging machine. The product is fed via an inlet to a metering chamber, being metered in the metering chamber by a metering member to form a product portion, and the product portion being fed via a metering outlet to a package. In order to avoid impairments of products which are sensitive to crystallizing out in the inoperative state, the metering chamber is operated in continuous flow in at least one operating state of the packaging machine from the following group: downtimes of the packaging machine, start-up of the packaging machine and operation of the packaging machine, by the product—whether entirely or in a partial flow—being removed entirely or partially from the metering chamber past the metering member via an outlet provided in addition to the metering outlet and being recirculated.
