Abstract: A device for unfolding packaging carton sleeves having a mechanism for providing the flat carton sleeves, a transfer unit, which can be rotated about a rotational axis, having at least one suction member for adhering to the carton sleeves and for transferring the carton sleeves to a conveyor belt, wherein the suction member is at a distance from the rotational axis. The conveyor belt includes at least one pocket for receiving the carton sleeves. The distance between the suction member and the rotational axis is constant and consequently the carton sleeves are channelled along a circular track.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reclosable pour-out element for packaging, particularly composite packaging for liquid foodstuffs, with a main body having a pour-out tube closed off by a screw cap and a flange with polyhedral surfaces for connection to the outer side of packaging. The invention further relates to a corresponding mandrel of a rotatable mandrel wheel in a packaging machine. To enable reliable connection of the reclosable pour-out element on a mandrel and subsequently easy removal from the mandrel and also to achieve good possibilities for cleaning, according to the invention the pour-out element has a circumferential retaining element inside the main body or formfitting operative connection to a mandrel in a packaging machine. A corresponding mandrel has a polyhedral shape in the receiving region of the pour-out element and has a circumferential retaining element for form-fitting operative connection to the pour-out element.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing packaging, in particular composite packaging for liquid foodstuffs, having a cross-sectional area that decreases in the pour-out direction in the gable region. The packaging is composed of a sleeve having a gable region having a plurality of gable faces and a pouring element. The apparatus has at least one rotatable mandrel wheel having a plurality of mandrels for holding the sleeves. Additionally, a method for producing such packaging and a gable press for use with the aforementioned apparatus. In order to allow easier and more cost-effective production, it is proposed that the apparatus has a gable press, assigned to a single mandrel wheel position, for folding the gable region, for connecting all the gable faces of the gable region of the sleeve to the pouring element and for sealing the protruding ears in the same mandrel wheel position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method used for pressing at least one area of a packaging. The packaging is composed of a multi-layer composite material at least in some areas. A pressing tool used for pressing comprises at least one contour element that can be inserted into an interior of the packaging and at least one pressing element that is arranged outside of the interior and opposite the contour element. The pressing element and the contour element are arranged so that the pressing element and the contour element can be positioned relative to each other. The pressing element has an elastic consistency and is provided with a flexible reinforcing device at least in the area of the extent of the pressing element facing the contour element.

Abstract: An arrangement for rolling the frontal end of a deformable sleeve-shaped container jacket comprises a supporting surface which radially supports the container jacket in the area of its end. A ring-shaped cavity is arranged radially adjacent thereto, which cavity is closed at the bottom and open at the top. The cavity has an essentially semicircular cross-section. The cavity is provided in circumferential direction with a plurality of pocket-shaped recesses in the transitional area between the supporting surface and the bottom, between which recesses rolling ridges, as part of the original cavity surface, remain. The purpose of this design is to effect a reduction in the deformation forces when the frontal end of the container jacket is being rolled.
