DEVICE FOR FORMING SLEEVE-LIKE FOIL ENVELOPES FROM A CONTINUOUS FLAT STRIP OF FOIL MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a device for forming sleeve-like foil envelopes from a continuous flat strip of a sleeve-like foil material, comprising supply means (12) for supplying the continuous flat strip of sleeve-like foil material (1), cutting means for making a cut in this strip of sleeve-like foil material over the full width thereof so as to obtain the individual sleeve-like foil envelopes, as well as discharge means (20a and 20b) for discharging the individual sleeve-like foil envelopes from the device. The device is characterised in that the device comprises means (20') is arranged for imparting a rotary motion during operation to the sleeve-like envelope to be discharged from the device. By imparting a rotary motion to an individually formed sleeve-like foil envelope while it is being discharged from the device the foil envelope will remain open, making it possible to place the envelope round a container in a simple and effective manner.
