A METHOD FOR PRODUCING PACKAGES, AN APPARATUS AND A KIT OF PARTS

Abstract

A method (1200) for producing packages (110) is presented. The method comprises providing (1202) a web (102) of packaging material (PM) comprising at least an outer protective layer (300), a cellulose-based mid-layer (304) and an inner protective layer (302), providing (1204) a protective strip (200), heating (1206) a first longitudinal edge section (208) of an inside surface (214) of the web (102) by applying a first flow (904) of heated air via a first nozzle (902), heating (1208) a first longitudinal edge section (212) of an inside surface (210) of the protective strip (200) by applying a second flow (908) of heated air via a second nozzle (906), attaching (1210) the outside surface (210) of the first longitudinal edge section (212) of the protective strip (200) onto the inside surface (214) of the first longitudinal edge section (212) of the web (102), forming (1212) a tube (106) of the web (102) of packaging material (PM), attaching (1214) an outside surface (308) of the first longitudinal edge section (208) onto an inside surface (310) of the second longitudinal edge section (306), attaching (1216) an inside surface (314) of a second longitudinal section (312) of the protective strip (200) onto an outside surface (318) of a mid-section (316) of the web (102), filling (1218) the food product (FP) into the tube (106), sealing (1220) the tube (106) transversally in transversal sealing sections (114) in a lower end of the tube (106), and cutting (1222) the tube (106) in the transversal sealing sections (114) such that the packages (110) are formed.
