Packaging machine for producing sealed packages of a pourable food and featuring a level detecting device

摘要

There is described a packaging machine (1) for producing sealed packages (2) of a pourable food product from a tube (3) made of heat-seal sheet packaging material (4) and filled continuously with the pourable food product. The packaging machine has a detecting device (9) for detecting the level of the pourable food product, and which has a float (10) made predominantly of polymer material. More specifically, the float has a casing (35) in turn having a base element (12), a cover (13) and a sealing element (17), which are made of a copolymer of cycloolefins (COC) and linear olefins. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
