Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a packaging system (1) for producing pouches (2) having at least one compartment (3) and made from a water-soluble first foil (4) and a water-soluble second foil (5), the packaging system (1) comprising a mould conveyor (6) configured to move multiple moulds (7) in a conveying direction (8) wherein each mould comprises at least one forming cavity (10); a first foil supplying device (12) configured to position the first foil on the support surface of the mould and over its at least one forming cavity; a forming device (13) configured to form a part of the first foil extending over the at least one forming cavity into the at least one forming cavity of the moulds to form at least one open compartment (15) of the pouch; a sensor system (16) configured to acquire forming condition data (17) of the at least one open compartment, the sensor system being configured to be operatively coupled to a control system (18) configured for comparing the forming condition data to a desired forming condition, and for generating a control command corresponding to a predetermined forming condition, wherein the packaging system is configured to control the pouch production based on receipt of the control command.
