PACKING/FILLING MACHINE

摘要

Provided is a packing/filling machine wherein a forming machine or a lateral sealing machine operating at high speed does not damage the external surface or the longitudinal sealing portion of a packing container, even forming/lateral sealing which presses strongly from the opposite sides at high speed does not have a tendency to vary or oscillate a liquid level, a liquid level control is facilitated, and these functions work effectively during the operation. A packing/filling machine wherein a packing container is produced by forming a packing material in the shape of a web to have the shape of a tube, filling the packing material in the shape of a tube with liquid food up to a predetermined liquid level, and then performing lateral sealing by high-speed clamping by means of a seal jaw and a counter jaw under the liquid level, the machine being further equipped with a diagnostic means that has a pressure flange provided above the position of the lateral sealing under the liquid level and consisting of sterilized gas, in order to detect a vibration propagated when the packing material is clamped by means of the seal jaw and counter jaw and to diagnose the residual quantity of sterilized gas from the vibration thus detected.
