VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUR STABILISIERUNG VON EXTREM DUENNEM PACKMITTEL

摘要

For stabilizing extremely thin packing material in the region of the free feed between paper table and gripper wheel (5) of a continuously operating packaging machine, the cross-section of the free end of the packing material sheet (P) is formed non-planar before the packing material portion (A) is cut off. The free end of the packing material sheet (P) is continually brought into a downwardly open, circular arc form before cutting-off by means of an air-blowing pipe (2) with relatively widely spaced outlets (2a) disposed parallel to and upstream of the cutting device (3) above the packing material sheet (P), and an air-blowing bar (4) with more closely spaced outlets (4a) disposed beneath the packing material sheet (P) downstream of the cutting device (3). The invention is particularly suitable for Sweet or candy packaging machines with continuous principle of operation. <IMAGE>
