Folding device for producing stand-up pleat packages, has pressure device adjustably formed at inclination of stand-up pleat package during folding process, where inclination is defined by stand-up pleats of different pleat heights

摘要

The device (1) has a folding channel (17a) extending away from a folding unit (16) in a folding direction (F). A pressure device (17) applies pressures (D1-D4) in fold edges (13a) of a stand-up pleat package (14) provided in the channel during the operation. The pressure device is adjustably formed at an inclination of the package during a folding process. The inclination is defined by stand-up pleats (13) of different pleat heights (h1, h2). The pressure device includes pressure sections (20, 21) that are pivotable around swivel joints (19a, 20a, 21a), which run transverse to the direction. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a stand-up pleat package with stand-up pleats of different pleat heights.
