METHOD, A BINDER AND A BINDING MACHINE FOR CLOSING HOSE OR BAG SHAPED PACKINGS, PRIMARILY TUBULAR FOODSTUFF PACKINGS

摘要

The closing of tubular casings containing foodstuffs by mounting a binder on a constriction of the casing involves the traditional problem of a high waste percentage due to the binders either damaging the casing material or sliding off the constriction. A method and a binder are disclosed which makes it possible to obtain a very strong clamping of the binder without damaging the casing material, and in connection with tight plastic casings it is even possible to hereby provide a "super tight" closure, viz. by arranging the constriction with an oblong cross section between opposed straight clamping beams, which are forced together so as to produce a controlled deformation flowing of the material.
