PACKAGING MACHINE, IN PARTICULAR TUBULAR BAGGING MACHINE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AND / OR TRANSPORTING AN INITIAL PAPER PACKAGE

摘要

The invention is based on a packaging machine, in particular a tubular bag machine, for producing and / or transporting an initial paper packaging (10) for receiving at least one product (12), in particular a foodstuff, wherein the initial paper packaging (10) has at least one, In particular, the wrapping unit (14) coming into direct contact with the product (12), in particular a tubular bag, which, in particular the, at least one barrier layer (16) to protect the product (12), in particular from moisture, and at least one with the barrier layer (16), in particular a materially bonded carrier layer (18), in particular a paper layer, and at least one functional unit (20), in particular a damping and / or stiffening unit, which is in particular formed in one piece with the wrapping unit (14), for protection the wrapping unit (14) and / or the received product (12) is protected from damage, wherein the packaging machine has at least one transport unit (40) which is designed in such a way that the primary paper packaging (10) is supported during transport, in particular in a secondary packaging (42), at least in the area of a folding triangle (26, 28) of the wrapping unit (14) and / or a fin (22, 24) of the wrapping unit (14) is bent, arched and / or folded about at least one axis (44, 46). It is proposed that the transport unit (40) is formed by a gripper unit, which is provided to lift the initial paper packaging (10) by means of a form-fitting and / or force-fitting connection from a product feed unit (84), in particular a conveyor belt, a driver chain or the like, to the packaging machine and to feed it to a secondary packaging (42).
