Abstract: An apparatus for producing bags from tubular material having fabric made of stretched plastic strips has at least one tube-forming device or a tube-unwinding device, by which tubular material for producing bags can be produced from web-shaped material and in which the tubular material, can be conveyed in a transport direction (x?), at least one tube-separating device, by which tube pieces can be separated from the tubular material, a bottom-forming device, by which bottoms can be molded onto at least one end of a tube piece, and at least one transport device for transporting the tube pieces within the bottom-forming device in a transport direction (x) extending transversely to their direction of extension (y) The transport direction (x?) of the tubular material in the tube-forming device or the tube-unwinding device and the transport direction (x) of the tube pieces in the transport device are parallel to each other.

Abstract: The invention describes an apparatus (1) for producing bags from tubular material (2) comprising fabric made of stretched plastic strips, which apparatus comprises: at least one tube-forming device (13) or a tube-unwinding device (3), by means of which tubular material (2) for producing bags (12) can be produced from web-shaped material (14) and in which the tubular material (2) can be conveyed in a transport direction (x?), and at least one tube-separating device (6), by means of which (6) tube pieces (16) can be separated from the tubular material (2), and a bottom-forming device (8, 9, 10, 11), by means of which (8, 9, 10, 11) bottoms can be molded onto at least one end of a tube piece (16), at least one transport device for transporting the tube pieces (16) within the bottom-forming device (8, 9, 10, 11) in a transport direction (x) extending transversely to their direction of extension (y).
