  • Publication number: 20170183163
    Abstract: A device for transporting objects: including at least two rotatably mounted wheels for driving and deflecting a conveyor belt, a closed conveyor belt and several cells for receiving the objects to be transported. The cells are connected to the conveyor belt such that their cell centers define a closed transport path. The conveyor belt is guided around the wheels in such a way that the transport path has an approximately circular section in the region of the wheels and an approximately straight section between the wheels. The device further includes an element for changing the curvature of the transport path in between at least one straight path section and at least one circular path section.

  • Publication number: 20160376045
    Abstract: A system for the folding, aseptic filling, and aseptic sealing of packaging agents including a transporting device including a conveyor belt and cells connected to the conveyor belt for the transportation of the carton sleeves, a device for folding and conveying the carton sleeves to the cells of the transporting device, a device for sterilizing the carton sleeves, a device for folding and sealing bottom surfaces of the carton sleeves, a device for filling the carton sleeves with contents, a device for folding and sealing the gable surfaces of the carton sleeves, and an aseptic chamber. The cells at least in a partial region of the system are arranged within the aseptic chamber, while the conveyor belt is arranged outside the aseptic chamber. A corresponding method is also illustrated and described.

  • Patent number: 9359181
    Abstract: A method and device for filling containers with a liquid product. The product is fed to the container by a filling valve and a filling nozzle. The product emerging from the filling nozzle is fed to a directing element. The directing element has a geometrical configuration such that an edge of the directing element runs along at a small distance from the inside walls of the container.

  • Patent number: 8894808
    Abstract: The method and the apparatus are used for preparing fold lines on laminated materials on the basis of cardboard. At least one region intended for providing the fold line is subjected to heat such that an at least partial local reduction of shear fracture stresses of the material is produced in said region. The application of heat is done using a heating device, which is disposed adjacent to a guide device for the laminate. The local reduction of the shear fracture stresses supports local delamination, which supports the formation of a folding joint.

  • Publication number: 20070000206
    Abstract: A device for continuously filling and closing composite cardboard/plastic packagings opened on one side comprises a filling area for filling the open packagings and a closing area for closing the open end of the packagings. The individual areas are configured as peripheral functional wheels having recesses arranged on the outside, including a filling wheel and a closing wheel. The individual packagings are arranged in cell cages, which are delivered one after the other to the individual wheels. The cell cages are held in a non-positive fitting manner in the recesses of the wheels by magnets. The invention also relates to a cell cage for transporting said packagings in the device. In order to ensure a gentle transfer of the cell cages by the transfer wheels, transfer wheels having recesses on the outside are provided between the individual wheels for transferring the cell cages and the other wheels.
