  • Publication number: 20230174260
    Abstract: A device for generating a liquid film of a liquid medium in a film bag includes two accumulating surfaces spaced apart by an accumulating distance (A), between which the film bag can be arranged and transported along a transport direction; a braking element arranged downstream of the accumulating surfaces in the transport direction, which braking element is arranged to brake the film bag; with a running surface which is convexly curved in the transport direction and is set up and arranged in such a way that the film bag braked by the braking element can be spanned on the running surface behind the braking element. At least a first accumulating surface of the two accumulating surfaces is formed at least in regions by a driven first conveyor belt which is arranged to convey the film bag in the transport direction.
