An invention for forming, filling, and sealing a flexible recloseable container. Both vertical and horizontal methods for placing product within the container are disclosed. The invention includes guiding a web of film which has interlocking fastener strips sealed to the web. A slider for locking and unlocking the fastener strips is placed in the correct orientation, spread apart at a pair of inner feet, and inserted over the fastener strips. The slider is positioned to close a substantial portion of the strips, and then an end stop, docking station, and corner seal are formed against a sealing plate. The slider is then repositioned, and a tamper evident seal may be placed over the fastener strips.

One method includes providing a pair of interlockable fastener strips, a web of flexible film, and a plurality of sliders, placing the sliders on the pair of interlockable fastener strips, subsequently attaching the interlockable fastener strips with attached sliders to the web of flexible film, and either placing a product within the web or providing the empty container to the consumer.

The invention relates to a conveying device, in particular to a cheese conveying device for food production. The invention provides a cheese conveying device for food production which can convey cheese more automatically, print the production date of the cheese, and package the cheese. Cheese conveying equipment for food production, including: a base and a frame, with a frame on the top of the base; a primary transmission mechanism, with a primary transmission mechanism on one side of the frame; a secondary transmission mechanism, with a secondary transmission on the frame mechanism. In the present invention, a pressing mechanism is provided, and the pressing plate in the pressing mechanism moves downward, thereby driving the pressing rod to move downward to press down the lid stuck above the cheese, the sixth spring is squeezed, and when the lid and the bottom plate are fixed The cheese is completely packaged, achieving the effect of replacing manual packaging of cheese.

An apparatus for handling portions of products, in particular food products, includes a product conveyor which conveys the portions sequentially along a conveying direction and at least one sensor which serves to determine the weight of the conveyed portions. The apparatus includes an automatic weight compensation unit which is arranged in the vicinity of the product conveyor and which serves additionally to place at least one single product on a portion in dependence on the determined weight of the portion.

The invention provides a method of manufacturing packaging comprising the steps of: a) providing a packaging material (2) comprising cartonboard, semi-rigid plastics or other semi-rigid packaging material; b) forming fold lines (8) and / or cuts within the packaging material (2) by subjecting the packaging material (2) to laser (12) or mechanical scoring; c) folding the packaging material (2) along the fold lines (8) and / or cuts and securing in position to form a substantially tubular container (200); and d) forming at least one seal (302, 304) by sealing together at least two opposing regions (122, 124, 126, 128) of a blank (4) to form an at least partially sealed package (300); e) performing at least one of steps b), c) and d) on a horizontal or vertical fill, form and seal apparatus (400).

The gripper (2) according to the invention comprises a first receiving plate (6) for receiving a first product portion (5a) and a second receiving plate (7) for receiving a second product portion (5b), wherein the receiving plates (6, 7) are movable relative to one another, and a first movable stop (9) which is movable relative to the first receiving plate (6), and a second movable stop (10) which is movable relative to the second receiving plate (7). The gripper (2) is distinguished by the fact that the first stop (9) and second stop (10) are movable relative to one another so as to move the product portions (5a, 5b) towards one another when the gripper (2) is closed such that the product portions (5a, 5b) then overlap one another.

Processes, methods, systems, containers, and apparatus for making and processing pasta filata cheese in dome containers that are packaged in plastic. The novel invention uses a rigid see through plastic dome to safely store the cheese within and can be heat sealed in a bag with a plastic film across the top of the bag and open end of the dome. Another embodiment uses only a plastic film to seal off the open end of the dome without using a bag. The process eliminates the need for a water tank to hold the cheese balls before packaging, where water has allowed for cross contamination of all the balls if one ball is contaminated with bacteria and germs. The plastic dome allows for an aesthetically appearing cheese package that maintains a semi-spherical ball shape with the dents and deformations that occur with the prior art plastic bag packaged cheeses.

A spreadable foodstuffs preparation is proposed comprising (a) a fresh cheese component and (b) a vegetable or herb preparation, wherein the components (a) and (b) are present side by side in a container such that they occupy three-dimensionally continuous volumes that do not mix.
