Abstract

The invention relates to a device for welding a connection region of a film to a connection part having an axial direction. In the case of conventional devices, there is the risk of steep workpiece edges causing uncontrolled weak spots in the film and in the weld seam. According to the invention, the film is extended in a controlled manner such that the film has a length reserve. The film is extended in such a way that the film has a deformation cross-section that runs out such that the deformation is not visible on the final product. In this connection, the invention further relates to a use of a film, to a method for welding, to a method for producing bags, to a system for producing bags, and to a bag.

Abstract

The aim of the invention is to develop known methods for stretching films. According to the invention, this is achieved by methods and systems for treating a film element (3) conveyed in a conveying direction (2), wherein the film element is stretched longitudinally and/or transversely in and/or transversely to the conveying direction as a semi-finished blank (10). The film element is transferred on a differentiating section (20) from a first conveying device (S) with a first conveying speed (v1) to a second conveying device (6) with a second conveying speed (v2). The methods are characterized in that at least one difference is set within the semi-finished blank in order to generate differently stretched sections or at least one stretched section (21, 22) and a non-stretch section (23) within the semi-finished blank (10).

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for manufacturing medical pouches and a method for manufacturing medical pouches in a system, said pouch being made from two layers of plastic film and at least one component per pouch, the system comprising a group of positioning aids for the components as well as a group of supports for the positioning aids, the positioning aids being supported on the supports which are conveyed in an endless path with the aid of a guiding mechanism, the system further comprising a component application station designed to bring a component, which has been introduced into the station by a positioning aid with the aid of a support, into a joining connection with the plastic film. The invention is characterized in that on the endless path, the supports are alternately guided first along a process run and then along a return run; the supports are placed at a certain distance from one another in the process run, are accelerated to increase the distance therebetween when the supports travel along the return run, and are decelerated to reduce the distance therebetween again when the supports intermittently travel along the process run. As a result, the system requires fewer product-specific parts.

Abstract

The invention relates to various aspects of HF welding methods and HF welding devices. When welding in insert parts comprising two films extending in the same axial direction to form a bag, it is proposed that the upper tool (2) and the lower tool (3) each consist of a plurality of electrode lamellae arranged next to one another, wherein the electrode lamellae are oppositely poled alternately along the axial direction of the insert part and perpendicularly to the axial direction. This makes it possible in just one operation for insert parts of almost any desired geometry extending in the same axial direction to be welded in without a central electrode being required. With respect to tools (1) for the HF welding, it is proposed that the electrode lamellae are separated from one another along the axial direction of the insert piece by a dielectric (40), which comprises a solid body. This makes it possible for the method to be carried out with a lower energy consumption. With respect to installations for producing a bag for medical purposes, comprising a film feed, a welding station and preferably a filling station, it is proposed that the installation has a device such as that disclosed here and also a multiplicity of holding bars for holding the insert parts, wherein the holding bars are electrically separated from the HF circuit. This makes it possible for complex components to be produced efficiently.

Abstract

The aim of the invention is to further develop filling devices for filling a medical bag, in particular with respect to a solid main body or solid filling block. To achieve this aim, the invention proposes a filling device for filling a medical bag with fluids, the device comprising a main body with fluid channels and valve seats, on which valve devices can be arranged in order to adjust volumetric flow rates of fluid flowing through the fluid channels, the main body being at least partially produced by an additive manufacturing process.

Abstract

The invention relates to a film-drawing machine, including a furnace (1), through which one strand of an endless chain of clamps (4) passes, driven by at least one toothed wheel (8), characterised in that at least one toothed wheel (8) is inside the furnace (1), is rotated by its own gear motor (9) surrounded by a casing (12), placed in the furnace (1) and cooled by cooling means (13, 14), and is mounted on its own movement device (11), so as to pass from a withdrawn position, in which it does not mesh with the chain, to a drive position, in which it meshes with the chain. The invention also relates to a method for starting said film-drawing machine.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for in-mould labelling and embossing of a packaging product, and to a system for combined in-mould labelling and embossing of a packaging product. Thermoforming is a technique for producing plastic packaging. The method is based on heating a thermoplastic film or plate, which then takes on the spatial shape of a tool form. Thermoform in-mould labelling produces decoration of the product during thermoforming by means of an in-mould labelling tag. The invention proposes that, in a method for in-mould labelling and embossing of a packaging product in a combined tool for a thermoplastic film, a label is used, and in the region of the label an embossing is produced which has a mechanical edge.

Abstract

In order significantly to reduce the risk of contamination of a bag for medical purposes, in particular due to residual particles of tube material caused during cutting of a tube for access to the bag, the invention proposes a system (1) for producing a bag for medical purposes, comprising a tube transfer station (2) with a transfer means (3) for transferring a tube (11) coming into the tube transfer station (2) to a holder (10) and for the severing there of a tube section (17) transferred to the holder (10) from a remaining portion (18) of the incoming tube (11) in order subsequently to be able to make the severed tube section (17) connectable to two film layers for forming an access to the bag, wherein the tube transfer station (2) has a tube-tension-holding means (15) on the holder side and also a tube-pulling means (16), which means are designed to introduce tensile forces (19) between the severed tube section (17) and the remaining portion (18) of the incoming tube (11) while the severing takes place.
