Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Produkten mit Etikettenanhänger

摘要

A method and apparatus are described for tag and thread assembly for tagged infusion packets. Spaced tags (8) from a strip (40) of tags and a length of thread (10) are laid over each other on the periphery of a first assembly wheel (58) and the thread is drawn out in loops (12) between successive tags. The spaced tags and looped thread are transferred to a second assembly wheel (108) where they are connected to a web (30a) of sheet material that is to form the infusion packets. The web is subsequently formed into a series of compartments in which infusion material is contained. The compartments are severed from the web for forming the individual packets and the thread is simultaneously severed between the packets.
