Method and device for packing a product, such as one or more slices of a cheese or meat product, in film material

摘要

The invention relates to a method and device for packing a product, such as one or more slices of a cheese or meat product, in film material. In the method, the leading end of the strip (5) is gripped by a gripper (17) and held at a height above the support surface (53) over which the film strip runs up to the gripper. Meat or cheese to be packed is placed on the strip of film material running over the support surface. The strip of film material with, lying on it, the product (9) to be packed is fed through beneath the leading edge secured by the gripping means, whereupon in the film material a fold-like curve (20) is formed, which travels along the strip of film material, feeding the material through as it does so. As soon as the product to be packed has been fed far enough through beneath the gripping means, the sandwich of lowermost film strip (22), products to be packed, uppermost film strip (21) is clamped together between two pressure members (14) to create a mutual seal between the lowermost and uppermost film strip.
