Packaging machine for the production of a packaging having a recess in the packaging cavity edge

Abstract

The present invention relates to a packaging machine having a deep-drawing, filling and sealing station, by way of which a packaging cavity having a recess in the packaging cavity edge is shaped into a plastic film, the packaging cavity is filled with a material for packaging, and subsequently an upper foil is sealed onto the packaging cavity edge in the sealing plane, wherein a cutting tool is integrated into the sealing tool.

1 . A packaging machine having a swedging, filling and sealing station, by way of which a packaging cavity with a recess in the packaging cavity edge is formed into a plastic film, the packaging cavity is filled with a packaging material and, subsequently in the sealing plane, an upper film is sealed to the packaging cavity edge, sealing being effected under the influence of pressure and temperature and a cutting tool being integrated into the sealing tool, characterized in that the sealing plane lies above the transport plane of the plastic film web from which the packaging cavity is produced, and in that the cutting tool severs the upper film of the respective packaging from the plastic film upper web. 
   
   
       2 . The packaging machine as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the cutting tool is arranged in the transition region between the sealing plane and the recess. 
   
   
       3 . The packaging machine as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the cutting tool is arranged on the circumference of the sealing tool. 
   
   
       4 . The packaging machine as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that the cutting tool is arranged on the circumference of the sealing tool.
