A plurality of material shaping m...

The invention relates to a packaging apparatus for wrapping flat articles, such as books, in a cardboard-made flat package blank, including first flaps remaining on the inside and second flaps remaining on the outside. The packaging apparatus comprises a supply station for package blanks, including alignment and centering elements for a bundle of package blanks and feed means for delivering the blanks from the bundle one by one onto a packaging line, an opening mechanism for the inner flaps of p...

The invention relates to a hydromechanical drive system for at least one press ram of a cutting and/or forming press, at least one drive cylinder being connected to a following kinematic chain. This kinematic chain is designed in such a way that a complete ram stroke, i.e. a downward motion and an upward motion, is effected during a single piston stroke in only one direction. In addition, the proposed drive system has mechanical controlled synchronization.

A device for manufacturing tubular bag packages has a forming tube with a rectangular cross section. In order to produce reinforcing seams in a projection of the broad side walls of the tubular bag package, the device has a forming and folding device. The forming and folding device has two forming plates attached to the forming tube and a folding frame with folding plates. The relatively simply embodied device according to the invention makes it possible to form the reinforcing seams with less s...

The present invention discloses a new and efficient apparatus with purpose of transporting individual cable ties to a workpiece area where an individual cable tie is directed to surround and cinch a workpiece within the workpiece area. Further this apparatus has the purpose to sever and dispose of surplus cable tie portions, and carrier strips as well as unwanted workpiece length.

A bag filling machine comprising a supply hopper, a material flow control mechanism and a rotatable bag filling spout is herein disclosed. The rotating bag filling spout is constructed and arranged for rotation about a vertical axis and is connected to the supply hopper through the material flow control mechanism so as to convey bulk commodities stored in the supply hopper into a bag that is to be filled. After the bag has been filled, the rotatable bag filling spout rotates to close the bag. A ...
