A second brake ring is also provided which can be stationarily disposed on the filling tube and which has a counter-brake means on its outer circumference, where the casing material can be guided between the first brake means of the first brake ring and the counter-brake means of the second brake ring and where the first brake ring is reversibly displaceable in the filling direction for setting a predetermined friction force for the casing material at the first brake means of the first brake ring and at the counter-brake means of the second brake ring. | 11-06-2008 |
20080274681 | METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLED CLOSURE OF AT LEAST ONE CLIP AROUND A FILLING MATERIAL-FREE PLAIT PORTION OF A TUBULAR CASING AT A FILLING MATERIAL PORTION ENCLOSED BY THE CASING - A method of and an apparatus for controlled closure of at least one clip around a filling material-free plait portion of a tubular casing at a filling material portion enclosed by the casing, where the at least one clip is closed with at least one closure device and where the filling material portion is successively filled with a moved product flow of the filling material and in that operation the casing is withdrawn from a casing supply device, and where moreover the withdrawal movement of the casing is sensed with a sensing device and a control signal is formed therefrom for the joint movement of the at least one closure device with the product flow. | 11-06-2008 |
20120318122 | EXPLOSIVES CONTAINING DETONATING DEVICES - The invention concerns a portioning and packing device as well as a process for the production of explosives containing detonating devices. The portioning and packing device contains a conveyor for the explosive, which exhibits a pump for the generation of a volume flow; a filling pipe connected to the conveyor, which is set up to provide a reserve supply of a tubular packing sleeve. At the same time, the tubular packing sleeve can be pulled off the filling pipe with the explosive ejected through the filling pipe. A closing device located downstream of the filling pipe is set up to constrict the filled packing sleeve locally to a hose plait during the filling process and close around the hose plait with at least one means of closure. The filling pipe further exhibits a means of introduction, which is set up to introduce a detonating device into the explosive. | 12-20-2012 |
20130213999 | PACKAGING COMBINATION - The present invention relates to a packaging combination for accommodating and dispensing a filling material. The packaging combination comprises a tubular casing having a first end, a second end and a central axis extending through first and second ends, wherein the tubular casing is tightly filled with filling material and closed at its first and second end by a closure means. The packaging combination further comprises a dispensing system including a dispensing device having a passageway extending through the dispensing device with an inlet opening at its one end and an outlet opening at its other end and being attached to the first end of the tightly filled tubular casing, the first end of the tubular casing extending inside the passageway. The system further comprises a dispensing cap having an attachment end and a dispensing end reversibly attachable to the outlet opening of the dispensing device, by its attachment end. | 08-22-2013 |
20140013706 | CLIPPING DEVICE - The present invention relates to a clipping device for closing at least one closure means, like a closure clip, in a packaging machine, for closing tubular or bag-shaped packaging casings as well as a method for controlling a clipping device. The clipping device comprises a first closing tool and a second closing tool, wherein at least the first closing tool is reversibly movable towards the second closing tool, between an opened position and a closed position, for closing the at least one closure means and a drive means for reversibly moving at least the first closing tool towards the second closing tool in a closing direction. In the inventive clipping device, a monitoring device is provided in the region of the second closing tool for monitoring the second closing tool being prepared for the next clipping cycle. | 01-16-2014 |
