Abstract

A method for cleaning molding tools for molding fibrous materials and a molding tool are described. The method includes introducing a liquid medium to the molding tool where the molding tool has openings in at least one region of a shaping surface. The openings are connected to channels for discharging water vapor exiting during a molding process under pressure and heat input. The openings and channels for discharging water vapor are provided in a discharge direction out of the molding tool. For cleaning the openings and channels, a medium in liquid form is introduced into at least one channel of the molding tool counter to the discharge direction when the molding tool has a minimum temperature. The introduced liquid medium changes into a gaseous state by contact with the molding tool and exits from the channels and openings counter to the discharge direction.

Abstract

A method for forming molded articles from a moldable material in a mold, a mold, and a molded article is disclosed. The mold has two mold halves that, in a closed state, define a mold cavity between the mold surfaces of the mold halves and the mold cavity has an undercut. The mold halves have openings on their mold surfaces via which a relative underpressure and a relative overpressure are configured to be generated. Moldable material in the mold cavity is pressed into a molded article when the mold is closed and, for deforming, an overpressure is generated via the openings of a second mold surface when the mold is closed, such that the molded article is pushed away from the second mold surface and the mold is then opened by relative displacement of the mold halves away from one another.

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

A thermoforming device is described. It relates to a mold assembly including a first and second mold, and to a mold that can be used in a thermoforming device. It also relates to a method for thermoforming a product. The thermoforming device is characterized in that the thermoforming device comprises a second pre-stretcher, in addition to a first pre-stretcher and a calibration element, and that the second pre-stretcher is at least partially and moveably arranged in a second mold body. A movement relative to the second mold body and towards the same forming cavity of the first pre-stretcher, the second pre-stretcher, and the calibration element, can be individually controlled, and the second pre-stretcher at least partially surrounds the first pre-stretcher and the calibration element.
