Device for welding a moving packaging material ( 1 ) including a layer that can be heated by electromagnetic induction and a thermoplastic layer incorporating a welding zone ( 2 ) which lies in the direction of movement of the packaging material; the welding device includes an alternating current generator, a coil ( 3, 5, 6 ) for transforming the alternating current into a magnetic field, a ferromagnetic element ( 7, 8, 10-13 ) for channeling the magnetic field lines in a specific direction, the magnetic field being oriented so s to cross the packaging material ( 1 ) in order to induce heating of the layer that can be heated by electromagnetic induction; the welding device being characterized in that it includes a set of ferromagnetic elements ( 7, 8, 10-13, 19-21 ) which are arranged so that the magnetic field lines cross the packaging material ( 1 ) in at least two distinct regions ( 14, 16-18 ) located along the welding zone ( 2 ). |
