Abstract

Zur Erhöhung der Leistungsfähigkeit sind zweibah­nige Verpackungsmaschinen bekannt, insbesondere für die Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen (10). Aggregate zur Faltung von Zuschnitten und zur Förderung von Zigaret­tengruppen und Zigarettenpackungen sind bei derartigen Verpackungsmaschinen so dimensioniert und ausgebildet, daß jeweils zwei Einheiten nebeneinander aufgenommen werden können. Die Leistungsfähigkeit einer derartigen doppelbahnigen Verpackungsmaschine wird dadurch vermin­ dert, daß bei Störungen und anderen Betriebsunterbre­chungen beide Bahnen betroffen sind.Two-lane packaging machines are known for increasing the performance, in particular for the production of cigarette packs (10). Units for folding blanks and for conveying cigarette groups and packs of cigarettes are dimensioned and designed in such packaging machines in such a way that two units can be accommodated side by side. The performance of such a double-lane packaging machine is thereby reduced changes that both lines are affected in the event of disruptions and other business interruptions.

Um die Leistungsfähigkeit einer Verpackungs­maschine zu erhöhen, ist diese mit zwei selbständig ar­beitenden Fertigungsbahnen, je für die Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen (10) ausgerüstet. Den Fertigungs­bahnen (12, 13) sind gesonderte Falt- und Förderaggre­gate (Aufnahmerevolver 14, Stanniolfaltrevolver 15, Pa­pierfaltrevolver 16 und Trockenrevolver 17) zugeordnet und an gegenüberliegenden Seiten eines gemeinsamen Traggestells, insbesondere eines Gehäuses (11) zur Auf­nahme der Antriebe, angeordnet. Die Aggregate der bei­den Fertigungsbahnen (12, 13) sind gesondert, also un­abhängig voneinander angetrieben.In order to increase the performance of a packaging machine, it is equipped with two independently working production lines, each for the production of cigarette packs (10). Separate folding and conveying units (receiving turret 14, stannofold turret 15, paper folding turret 16 and drying turret 17) are assigned to the production lines (12, 13) and are arranged on opposite sides of a common support frame, in particular a housing (11) for receiving the drives. The units of the two production lines (12, 13) are driven separately, that is to say independently of one another.

Durch die vorstehende Ausbildung der Verpackungs­maschine wird die Leistungsfähigkeit erhöht, da bei Störungen und anderen Betriebsunterbrechnungen im Be­reich einer Fertigungsbahn (12, 13) die andere weiter­arbeiten kann.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsmaschine, insbe­sondere für die Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen, mit umlaufenden Faltaggregaten für die Faltung von Zu­schnitten, insbesondere Faltrevolvern, und mit Förde­rern für Zigarettengruppen, Verpackungsmaterial und Zigarettenpackungen.The invention relates to a packaging machine, in particular for the production of cigarette packs, with revolving folding units for folding blanks, in particular folding turrets, and with conveyors for cigarette groups, packaging material and cigarette packs.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine in bezug auf ein­zelne Organe standardmäßig, konventionell ausgebildete Verpackungsmaschine, im besonderen für die Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen. Diese können als Weichbecher-­Packungen oder als Klappschachtel (Hinge Lid Packung) ausgebildet sein. Eine Verpackungsmaschine für die Her­ stellung derartiger Zigarettenpackungen besteht übli­cherweise mindestens aus einem Faltrevolver für den In­neneinschlag von Zigarettengruppen (Stanniol) und einem weiteren Faltrevolver für die Einhüllung in einen Pa­pier- bzw. Kartonzuschnitt. Des weiteren kann die Ver­packungsmaschine mit einem Trockenrevolver ausgestattet sein sowie mit Förderorganen für die Zuführung des Ver­packungsmaterials und für den Transport der (Teil-)Pak­kungen.The invention relates to a conventionally designed packaging machine with respect to individual organs, in particular for the production of cigarette packs. These can be designed as soft cup packs or as a hinged box (hinge lid pack). A packaging machine for the manufacturer Position of such cigarette packs usually consists of at least one folding turret for the inside wrapping of cigarette groups (tinfoil) and another folding turret for wrapping in a paper or cardboard blank. Furthermore, the packaging machine can be equipped with a drying turret and with conveying elements for feeding the packaging material and for transporting the (partial) packages.

Bekannt sind Verpackungsmaschinen in doppelbahniger Ausführung. Diese sind mit Revolvern, Förderern etc. ausgerüstet, die für die Aufnahme von jeweils zwei ne­beneinanderliegenden Packungen bestimmt sind. Die Lei­stung einer derartigen doppelbahnigen Verpackungsma­schine ist beträchtlich höher als die einer "einfachen" Verpackungsmaschine. Allerdings ist die doppelbahnige Ausführung notwendigerweise störanfälliger.Packaging machines in double-track design are known. These are equipped with revolvers, conveyors etc., which are designed to hold two adjacent packs. The performance of such a double-lane packaging machine is considerably higher than that of a "simple" packaging machine. However, the double-track version is necessarily more prone to failure.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Lei­stungsfähigkeit von Verpackungsmaschinen, insbesondere für Zigarettenpackungen, zu erhöhen und die Auswirkun­gen von etwaigen Störungen auf die Gesamtleistung zu mindern.The invention has for its object to increase the performance of packaging machines, especially for cigarette packs, and to reduce the effects of any malfunctions on the overall performance.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Ver­packungsmaschine dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß Faltaggre­gate und Förderer für die gleichzeitige Herstellung von je zwei Packungen in zwei parallelen Fertigungsbahnen an gegenüberliegenden Seiten eines gemeinsamen (mitti­gen) Traggestells angeordnet sind.To achieve this object, the packaging machine according to the invention is characterized in that folding units and conveyors for the simultaneous production of two packs in two parallel production lines are arranged on opposite sides of a common (central) support frame.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackungsmaschine ist demnach zweibahnig ausgebildet. Die beiden Fertigungsbahnen sind jedoch maschinell und funktionell voneinander ge­trennt, gleichwohl aber Bestandteil einer einheitlichen Verpackungsmaschine. Jeder Fertigungsbahn ist ein kom­ pletter Satz der erforderlichen Falt-, Förder- und son­stigen Organe zugeordnet. Diese sind mit Abstand von­einander, nämlich zu beiden Seiten eines gemeinsamen Traggestells angeordnet.The packaging machine according to the invention is therefore of two lanes. However, the two production lines are separated from each other mechanically and functionally, but are nevertheless part of a uniform packaging machine. Every production line is a com Plette set of the required folding, funding and other organs assigned. These are spaced from each other, namely on both sides of a common support frame.

Die Aggregate und Organe der beiden Fertigungsbahnen werden erfindungsgemäß unabhängig voneinander angetrie­ben. Eine (momentane) Leistungsminderung im Bereich der einen Fertigungsbahn hat somit keine Auswirkungen auf den Betrieb und damit auf die Leistung im Bereich der anderen Fertigungsbahn. Zu diesem Zweck ist gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel den Faltaggregaten, Förderern etc. der beiden Fertigungsbahnen je ein gesonderter, selb­ständiger Antrieb zugeordnet. Alternativ kann beiden Fertigungsbahnen ein gemeinsamer Antrieb zugeordnet sein, wobei die Aggregate und Förderer der beiden Fer­tigungsbahnen individuell von dem gemeinsamen Antrieb abkuppelbar sind.According to the invention, the units and organs of the two production lines are driven independently of one another. A (current) reduction in performance in the area of one production line thus has no effect on the operation and thus on the performance in the area of the other production line. For this purpose, according to one exemplary embodiment, the folding units, conveyors, etc. of the two production lines are each assigned a separate, independent drive. Alternatively, a common drive can be assigned to both production lines, the aggregates and conveyors of the two production lines being able to be uncoupled individually from the common drive.

Das Traggestell, an dessen Längsseiten die Faltaggrega­te (Faltrevolver, Förderer etc.) gelagert sind, ist vorzugsweise zugleich ein Gehäuse zur Aufnahme der An­triebe für die Faltorgane, Förderer etc. der beiden Fertigungsbahnen.The supporting frame, on the long sides of which the folding units (folding turret, conveyor, etc.) are mounted, is preferably at the same time a housing for receiving the drives for the folding members, conveyors, etc. of the two production lines.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Verpackungsmaschine für Zigaretten in ver­einfachter Seitenansicht,
  • Fig. 2 die Verpackungsmaschine gemäß Fig. 1 im Grund­riß, teilweise im Horizontalschnitt.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings. It shows:
  • 1 is a packaging machine for cigarettes in a simplified side view,
  • Fig. 2 shows the packaging machine of FIG. 1 in plan, partially in horizontal section.

Die in den Zeichungen schematisch dargestellte Verpak­kungsmaschine ist auf die Fertigung von Zigarettenpak­kungen 10 des Typs Weichbecher ausgerichtet. Zu beiden Seiten eines annähernd mittigen Traggestells, nämlich eines kastenförmigen Gehäuses 11, sind Faltaggregate, Förderaggregate etc. für jeweis zwei komplette Ferti­gungsbahnen 12 und 13 gebildet. Jede dieser Fertigungs­bahnen 12, 13 stellt Zigarettenpackungen 10 unabhängig von der anderen Fertigungsbahn her.The packaging machine shown schematically in the drawings is designed for the production of cigarette packs 10 of the soft cup type. To both Sides of an approximately central support frame, namely a box-shaped housing 11, folding units, conveying units, etc. are formed for two complete production lines 12 and 13, respectively. Each of these production lines 12, 13 produces cigarette packs 10 independently of the other production line.

Die im Bereich jeder Fertigungsbahn 12, 13, also zu beiden Seiten des Gehäuses 11 angeordneten Aggregate sind jeweils komplett für den Verpackungsvorgang. Bei dem gezeigten Beispiel sind in Förderrichtung aufein­anderfolgend ein Aufnahmerevolver 14, ein Stanniolfalt­revolver 15, ein Papierfaltrevolver 16 und ein Trocken­revolver 17 an den beiden Längseiten des Gehäuses 11, nämlich an Seitenwänden 18 und 19 desselben gelagert. Die vorgenannten Revolver 14..17 der beiden Ferti­gungsbahnen 12 und 13 sind jeweils gleichachsig gela­gert, und zwar in Lagerbuchsen 20, 21 des Gehäuses 11. Des weiteren sind die Revolver 14..17 in vertikaler Ebene aufeinander ausgerichtet, derart, daß Zigaretten­gruppen 22 bzw. (Teil-)Packungen von einem Revolver zum anderen überführbar sind. Die Revolver 14..17 können je nach der Ausgestaltung der Verpackungsmaschine kontinu­ierlich oder - wie bei dem gezeigten Ausführungs­beispiel - taktweise angetrieben sein.The units arranged in the area of each production line 12, 13, that is to say on both sides of the housing 11, are each complete for the packaging process. In the example shown, a receiving turret 14, a stannofold turret 15, a paper folding turret 16 and a drying turret 17 are mounted on the two longitudinal sides of the housing 11, namely on side walls 18 and 19 of the same, in the conveying direction. The aforementioned turrets 14, 17 of the two production lines 12 and 13 are each mounted with the same axis, namely in bearing bushes 20, 21 of the housing 11. Furthermore, the turrets 14, 17 are aligned with one another in the vertical plane in such a way that cigarette groups 22 and . (Partial) packs can be transferred from one revolver to another. Depending on the design of the packaging machine, the turrets 14, 17 can be driven continuously or, as in the exemplary embodiment shown, in cycles.

Jeder Fertigungsbahn 12, 13 ist bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ein gesondertes Zigarettenmagazin 23, 24 zugeordnet. Jedem dieser im Aufbau konventionel­len Zigarettenmagazine 23, 24 werden Zigarettengruppen 22 durch einen quer zur Förderrichtung hin- und herbe­wegbaren Doppelschieber 25, 26 entnommen. Dieser gabel­förmig ausgebildete Doppelschieber 25, 26 fördert je Arbeitstakt zwei Zigarettengruppen 22 in einen Zigaret­tenförderer 27, 28, der hier als Taschenkette ausgebil­det ist mit an den Seiten und oben offenen Taschen 29 zur Aufnahme einer Zigarettengruppe 22.In the present exemplary embodiment, each production line 12, 13 is assigned a separate cigarette magazine 23, 24. From each of these conventional cigarette magazines 23, 24, cigarette groups 22 are removed by means of a double slide 25, 26 which can be moved back and forth transversely to the conveying direction. This fork-shaped double slide 25, 26 conveys two cigarette groups 22 into a cigarette conveyor 27, 28 per work cycle, which is designed here as a pocket chain with pockets 29 open on the sides and at the top for receiving a cigarette group 22.

Der endlose Zigarettenförderer 27, 28 endet benachbart zum ersten Revolver, nämlich dem Aufnahmerevolver 14. Dieser liegt in einer zum Zigarettenförder 27, 28 ver­setzten Ebene, so daß durch quer bewegbare Ausschieber 30, 31 die Zigarettengruppen 22 aus den Taschen 29 des Zigarettenförderers 27, 28 an eine Tasche 32 des Auf­nahmerevolvers 14 übergeben werden können.The endless cigarette conveyor 27, 28 ends adjacent to the first revolver, namely the receiving turret 14. This lies in a plane offset from the cigarette conveyor 27, 28, so that the cigarette groups 22 out of the pockets 29 of the cigarette conveyor 27, 28 are moved by means of transversely movable pushers 30, 31 can be transferred to a pocket 32 of the turret 14.

Durch den Aufnahmerevolver 14 werden die Zigaretten­gruppen längs einer Kreisbahn von 180° gefördert bis zur unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft zum nächstfolgenden Re­volver, dem Stanniolfaltrevolver 15.The receiving turret 14 conveys the cigarette groups along a circular path of 180 ° to the immediate vicinity of the next turret, the Stannofold turret 15.

In der Ebene zwischen dem Aufnahmerevolver 14 und dem Stanniolfaltrevolver 15 wird eine Stanniolzuschnitt 33 in vertikaler, quergerichteter Position bereitgehalten. Wenn eine Zigarettengruppe 22 aus dem Aufnahmerevolver 14 aus- und in eine Tasche des Stanniolfaltrevolvers 15 eingeschoben wird, legt sich der Stanniolzuschnitt 33 in der bekannten Weise U-förmig um die Zigarettengruppe 22 herum.In the plane between the receiving turret 14 and the folding turret 15, a tinfoil blank 33 is held ready in a vertical, transverse position. When a group of cigarettes 22 is pushed out of the turret 14 and inserted into a pocket of the folding turret 15, the tinfoil blank 33 lies in a U-shaped manner around the group of cigarettes 22 in the known manner.

Während der (taktweisen) Drehbewegung des Stanniolfalt­revolvers 15 längs einer Förderbahn von 180° wird der Stanniolzuschnitt 33 fertig gefaltet. In den Stanniol­zuschnitt 33 eingehüllte Zigarettengruppen 22 - Stan­niolblöcke - werden aus der jeweils unmittelbar benach­bart zum Papierfaltrevolver 16 liegenden Tasche des Stanniolfaltrevolvers 15 aus und in eine Tasche des Pa­pierfaltrevolvers 16 eingeschoben. Dabei legt sich ein weiterer Zuschnitt, nämlich ein Papierzuschnitt 34 wie­derum U-förmig um den Stanniolblock herum. Während der Förderung durch den Papierfaltrevolver 16 wird der Pa­pierzuschnitt 34 fertig gefaltet, nämlich unter Bildung eines Weichbechers.During the (intermittent) rotary movement of the stannofold turret 15 along a conveyor path of 180 °, the tinfoil blank 33 is fully folded. Cigarette groups 22 - tinfoil blocks - encased in the tinfoil blank 33 are pushed out of the pocket of the tinfoil folding turret 15 lying immediately adjacent to the paper folding turret 16 and inserted into a pocket of the paper folding turret 16. A further blank, namely a paper blank 34 is in turn U-shaped around the tinfoil block. During the conveyance by the paper folding turret 16, the paper blank 34 is completely folded, namely with the formation of a soft cup.

Aus dem Papierfaltrevolver 16 werden - bis auf die äu­ ßere Folienumhüllung - fertige Zigarettenpackungen 10 ausgestoßen und dabei in eine Tasche des benachbart an­geordneten Trockenrevolvers 17 eingeführt. Dieser sorgt für eine Aushärtung bzw. Befestigung von Leimverbindun­gen der Faltlappen, die im Bereich des Papierfaltrevol­vers 16 angebracht worden sind. Des weiteren wird die Form der Packung im Bereich des Trockenrevolvers 17 in bekannter Weise stabilisiert. Die Zigarettenpackungen 10 bleiben während einer Dreiviertel-Umdrehung des Trockenrevolvers 17 in diesem. Die Packungen werden demnach an der Oberseite in Axialrichtung aus dem Trockenrevolver ausgeschoben auf eine Abförderbahn 35, 36. Die beiden Abförderbahnen 35, 36 führen zu einer querlaufenden Sammelbahn 37, in der die Zigaretten mit den kleinen Stirnseiten in Förderrichtung weisend ab­transportiert werden. Die Sammelbahn 37 kann zu einer Folieneinschlagmaschine führen.The paper folding turret 16 are - except for the outer Outer foil wrapping - finished cigarette packs 10 ejected and inserted into a pocket of the adjacent drying turret 17. This ensures curing or fastening of glue connections of the folding tabs which have been attached in the area of the paper folding turret 16. Furthermore, the shape of the pack in the area of the drying turret 17 is stabilized in a known manner. The cigarette packs 10 remain in the drying turret 17 during a three-quarter revolution of the latter. The packs are accordingly pushed out of the drying turret on the upper side in the axial direction onto a discharge path 35, 36. The two discharge paths 35, 36 lead to a transverse collecting path 37 in which the cigarettes with the small end faces are transported away pointing in the direction of conveyance. The collecting path 37 can lead to a film wrapping machine.

Die Falt- und Förderorgane der beiden Fertigungsbahnen 12, 13 sind nicht symmetrisch zur Mittelebene der Vor­richtung angeordnet, sondern parallel versetzt. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Zigaretten bzw. Zigarettengruppen 22 und die Packungen 10 beider Fertigungsbahnen 12, 13 gleichgerichtet anzuordnen. Im vorliegenden Falle wer­den Filterzigaretten verpackt. Wie dargestellt, sind die Filter der Zigaretten beider Fertigungsbahnen 12, 13 zur selben Seite gerichtet. Dies bedeutet eine ent­sprechende Relativanordnung der Organe. So ist der Zi­garettenförderer 27 der (in Fig. 2) oberen Fertigungs­bahn 12 in einer Ebene zwischen den Revolvern 14..17 und dem Gehäuse 11 angeordnet. Gleiches gilt für die Position der Abförderbahn 35. Die beiden Ausschieber 30, 31 sind infolge dieser Relativstellung in ihren Ausschubbewegungen gleichgerichtet. Auch die Faltorgane der Faltrevolver 15, 16 sind so angeordnet, daß sie der gleichgerichteten Relativstellung der Zigaretten und Packungen 10 entsprechen.The folding and conveying members of the two production lines 12, 13 are not arranged symmetrically to the central plane of the device, but offset in parallel. This makes it possible to arrange the cigarettes or cigarette groups 22 and the packs 10 of both production lines 12, 13 in the same direction. In the present case, filter cigarettes are packaged. As shown, the filters of the cigarettes of both production lines 12, 13 are directed to the same side. This means a corresponding relative arrangement of the organs. Thus, the cigarette conveyor 27 of the (in FIG. 2) upper production line 12 is arranged in a plane between the turrets 14, 17 and the housing 11. The same applies to the position of the discharge conveyor 35. The two pushers 30, 31 are aligned in their pushing movements as a result of this relative position. The folding members of the folding revolvers 15, 16 are also arranged such that they correspond to the relative relative position of the cigarettes and packs 10.

Die Revolver 14..17 sind drehbar mit Antriebswellen 38, 39 in den zugeordneten Lagerbuchsen 20, 21 gelagert. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein individueller Antrieb für jede Fertigungsbahn 12, 13 vorgesehen. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Schrittschaltgetriebe 40, 41 (Manifold). Auf einer aufrechten Getriebewelle 42 ist jeweils ein um eine vertikale Achse drehend angetriebe­ner Treiber 43 gelagert, der mit einem Schaltstern 44 in Eingriff steht. Dieser wiederum ist auf einem Wel­lenzapfen 45 eines Hauptzahnrades 46 angebracht. Mit diesem ist auch die Antriebswelle 38, 39 für den Papierfaltrevolver 16 verbunden, so daß der Antrieb des Schrittschaltgetriebes 40, 41 unmittelbar auf diesen Papierfaltrevolver 16 übertragen wird.The turrets 14, 17 are rotatably supported by drive shafts 38, 39 in the associated bearing bushes 20, 21. In this embodiment, an individual drive is provided for each production line 12, 13. It is a stepping gear 40, 41 (manifold). On an upright gear shaft 42, a driver 43 is rotatably driven about a vertical axis and engages with a shift star 44. This in turn is mounted on a shaft journal 45 of a main gear 46. With this, the drive shaft 38, 39 for the paper folding turret 16 is connected, so that the drive of the indexing gear 40, 41 is transmitted directly to this paper folding turret 16.

Innerhalb des Gehäuses 11 sind für jede Fertigungsbahn 12, 13 bzw. für die zugeordneten Revolver 14, 15, 17 weitere Antriebszahnräder 47, 48 gelagert, und zwar entsprechend dem Hauptzahnrad 46. Die Antriebszahnräder 47, 48 stehen mit dem Hauptzahnrad 46 in Eingriff, so daß dessen Drehbewegung auf die Antriebszahnräder 47, 48 und letztlich auf die Revolver 14, 15 und 17 über­tragen wird.Further drive gear wheels 47, 48 are mounted within the housing 11 for each production line 12, 13 or for the associated revolvers 14, 15, 17, specifically corresponding to the main gear wheel 46. The drive gear wheels 47, 48 are in engagement with the main gear wheel 46, so that its rotational movement is transmitted to the drive gears 47, 48 and ultimately to the turrets 14, 15 and 17.

Zur statisch einwandfreien Lagerung sind die gleich­achsig angeordneten Antriebswellen 38, 39 mit Zapfenden 49 etwa in der Mitte des Gehäuses 11 in einer fest an­geordneten Stützbuchse 50 drehbar gelagert.For statically correct storage, the drive shafts 38, 39, which are arranged coaxially, are rotatably mounted with pin ends 49 approximately in the middle of the housing 11 in a fixed support bush 50.

Die Getriebewellen 42 der beiden Schrittschaltgetriebe 40, 41 können durch separate Antriebsmotoren angetrie­ben sein. Denkbar ist aber auch eine Lösung, bei der ein gemeinsamer Antriebsmotor über Kupplungen mit den Schrittschaltgetrieben 40, 41 verbunden ist. Des weite­ren kommt eine Lösung in Betracht, bei der beiden Fer­tigungsbahnen 12, 13 ein gemeinsames Schrittschaltge­triebe zugeordnet ist, von dem die Organe der beiden Fertigungsbahnen 12, 13 abkuppelbar sind.The transmission shafts 42 of the two stepping transmissions 40, 41 can be driven by separate drive motors. However, a solution is also conceivable in which a common drive motor is connected to the stepping transmissions 40, 41 via clutches. Furthermore, a solution comes into consideration in which a common step transmission is assigned to the two production lines 12, 13, of which the organs of the two Production lines 12, 13 can be uncoupled.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen ist bei dem gezeigten Ausfüh­rungsbeispiel auf dem Gehäuse 11 mittig eine aufrechte Trennwand 51 angeordnet.For safety reasons, an upright partition 51 is arranged in the center of the housing 11 in the exemplary embodiment shown.

Durch die beschriebene Ausbildung der Verpackungsma­schine hat diese eine höhere Leistung als konventionel­le zweibahnige Verpackungsmaschinen. So kann bei etwai­gen zeitweiligen Betriebsunterbrechungen, Störungen etc. im Bereich einer Fertigungsbahn die andere unein­geschränkt weiterarbeiten.Due to the described design of the packaging machine, it has a higher performance than conventional two-lane packaging machines. In the event of intermittent business interruptions, disruptions etc. in the area of one production line, the other can continue to work without restrictions.
