FOLDING ASSEMBLY OF MACHINE TO PACK FLUID FOODSTUFFS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B65B51/14 B65B7/20 

FIELD: process engineering, packing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to high-speed folding assembly of packing machines designed to continuously pack fluid foodstuffs. Folding assembly has lengthwise axis and one end plate to be folded, that extends along aforesaid axis. Proposed assembly comprises one transporting element to receive cyclically the packing and feed it along path of forming across packing axis, and folding means furnished with pushing surface. The latter receives the packing end mating aforesaid plate, the packing being transferred by transporting element between 1^st and 2^nd working positions. In 1^st working position, pushing surface forms, with packing feed direction, the angle exceeding 90° and open towards forming path to finely move end plate on packing along direction of its transfer. In 2^nd working position, pushing surface turns towards packing to interact therewith.

EFFECT: complete repeatability and safe folding.
