Abstract

A method and a device for forming stacks of packages by stacking infusion bags is disclosed. In one example, the method includes removing an individual infusion bag from a conveying stretch, on which individual infusion bags are fed, to a removal station. The individual infusion bags, guided by a vertically movable push-in device in a stacking stroke of said push-in device, are transferred into a buffer storage chute of said stack holding device. In a transfer stroke of said push-in device, which is greater than said stacking stroke, an infusion bag completing said stack of packages is raised off of said conveying stretch and transferred into a cartridge storage chute of said stack holding device.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for making pouches providing a continuous web; folding the web to provide confronting side surfaces joined along a bottom edge; forming a vertical seal between the confronting side surfaces, thereby providing a series of adjacent pockets having opposite side walls with each pocket having an unsealed opening along a top edge; filling the pockets through the unsealed opening with material; sealing the unsealed opening. In the inventive method, which facilitates handling of the continuous web forming the pouches, the web is perforated by a perforation between a leading length piece of the web adapted to form a leading pocket and a trailing length piece of the web adapted to form a trailing pocket, and the distance between a trailing edge of the leading length piece and a leading edge of a trailing length piece is increased for tearing the leading and the trailing lengths pieces apart at the perforation.
