METHOD FOR MAKING TUBULAR CONTAINERS

摘要

In the manufacture of multichamber tubular containers it has been found that the inner divider walls (12) should be bonded to the exterior wall (10) by means of a band sealing method. In the band sealing method there is a band (30) that contacts the upper film and a band (32) that contacts the lower film that are to be bonded. In the present processes the upper band contacts the inner divider wall while the lower band contacts the exterior surface of the outer wall of the tubular container. In order to prevent the marring or otherwise putting a defect into the exterior surface of the outer wall the temperature of the lower band is maintained at a lower temperature than the upper band. This will decrease the temperature of the exterior surface of the outer wall and prevent imperfections in the exterior surface of the outer wall. The advantage is a multichamber tubular container without any imperfections in the exterior surface. This enhances the overall appearance of the tubularcontainer.
