Abstract (en)

[origin: US4704845A] The process serves for closing filled bags (52) making use of an approximately horizontal conveying track (3). The bags are fed on a conveying track with constant conveying speed to a spreading apparatus (16 to 51) and then to a closing station (12, 13). In order that the bag material be stressed as little as possible in the case of a greater capacity, provision is made for a movement to be superimposed on the spreading tools (21) of the spreading apparatus during the spreading process, in the conveying direction (4), that attains the conveying speed, at latest, at the end of the spreading process. In this fashion, the bag end is spread apart without the bag experiencing a delay by the spreading tools (21) reaching therein.
