DEVICE FOR OPENING TUBULAR BAG BODIES

摘要

The invention relates to a device for opening tubular bag shapes which are open at at least at one end, comprising at least one slide which can be introduced into an open end of a bag between the bag walls, in order to at least partially fold over at least one end area of a bag wall. According to the invention, the at least one slide (3) can be move d in and out of the bag end to be opened by means of at least one, driven cam (9) which can be moved along a predetermined path (8) and which engages with the slide (3). The slide (3) preferably takes a circular path (4), said circular path comprising a section which runs parallel to a bag-transporting device. The speed of transportation of the bags (2, 2a) on the conveyor device (1) and that of the slide (3) around the circular path are equal.
