Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03045786A1] There is disclosed a method and an apparatus for handling a packing 1 by filling, folding and winding of the packing. The apparatus 12 is structured modularly with a number of juxtaposed stations 13 in which there are provided modular operation units for filing, folding, application of glue, welding, embossing, winding and laying off of the packing. This occurs in a process where the packing 1 is fixed and secured to a conveyor belt 17 through and between handling process steps and the work stations 13 of the apparatus, as securing of the packing to the conveyor belt is provided. The securing may possibly occur by using vacuum acting through apertures 21 in the conveyor belt 17 covering vacuum chambers which via valve arrangement may be subjected to vacuum individually. The packing 1 is preferably a tobacco-pouch-like packing 1, where a flap 2 at a side edge 11 is provided with an adhesive strip 10 which can be used for a reopenable closing of the packing, as the flap is folded about folding lines 8, 9, whereby the adhesive strip is brought into abutment against a rear wall on the packing.
