Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0872422A1] Each bag is made from a vertically supplied packing tube and closed by bag closing device (15). Several U-section gripper-like sockets (21) are mounted evenly spread out on a circle on a rotor (27) which rotates about a horizontal axis set across the alignment of the bag forming device (11) and bag closing device (15). The sockets are aligned by gears with their longitudinal axis constantly upright so that they are pushed by their open side over the end part of the tube (2) and seize this as it is separated from the tube as the bag. The bag is then held in the socket by a controlled vacuum and entrained. When the vacuum is switched off the bag (1) falls between the entrainment members (16) of the conveyor chain which are aligned under the socket and move at the same speed.
