PACKAGING MACHINE WITH ROTARY TOP SEALER

摘要

An apparatus and method of continuously forming, filling and sealing of packages with a continuous web of fusible film material (14) is disclosed, the method comprising the steps of providing a continuous web of film material (14) and folding the web to provide confronting sides (18) joined along a bottom edge (20) and forming a vertical seal (25) at spaced intervals along the web. This process forms a series of horizontally disposed pouches (28) having opposed sidewalls separated by the vertical seals with each pouch being unsealed along a top edge. The pouches are then opened, filled with a product, and sealed, with the top edge of each pouch sealed together by use of a horizontal rotary sealer (37) having a heated circular sealer plate (80).
