Abstract

A suction nozzle, which is configured to aspirate a residual film of a film processed by a packaging machine. The suction nozzle comprises a tube assembly comprising a first tube and a second tube, wherein the first tube and the second tube are arranged coaxially with respect to one another and form a suction channel. An annular gap is provided between the first tube and the second tube, through which a gas, preferably air, can be blown into the suction channel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A suction nozzle, which is configured to aspirate a residual film of a film processed by a packaging machine, wherein the suction nozzle comprises a tube assembly comprising a first tube and a second tube, wherein the first tube and the second tube are arranged coaxially with respect to one another and form a suction channel, wherein an annular gap, through which a gas can be blown into the suction channel, is provided between the first tube and the second tube, and wherein a width of the annular gap is adjustable.

2. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the annular gap is configured such that a blown-in air stream can be blown into the suction channel in a blow in direction, which is oriented at a blow in angle with respect to an axial direction of the tube assembly, wherein the angle is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees.

3. The suction nozzle according to claim 2 , wherein the blow in angle is between 0 degrees and 45 degrees.

4. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional area of the suction channel varies along a suction path.

5. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional area of the suction channel is smaller at an outlet side of the suction nozzle than at an inlet side of the suction nozzle.

6. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the suction nozzle has a pressurized gas connector.

7. The suction nozzle according to claim 6 , wherein the pressurized gas connector is a pressurized air connector.

8. The suction nozzle according to claim 6 , wherein the pressurized gas connector is connected to the annular gap and is configured to route a gas to the annular gap.

9. The suction nozzle according to claim 8 , wherein the pressurized gas connector is connected to the annular gap in an airtight manner.

10. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the annular gap is adjustable by axially shifting of the first tube and the second tube relative to one another.

11. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the first tube and the second tube are screwable to one another.

12. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the first tube has a fist-first thread.

13. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the second tube has a second thread.

14. A packaging machine, which is configured to produce packages from at least one film and comprises at least one suction nozzle according to claim 1 .

15. A suction nozzle, which is configured to aspirate a residual film of a film processed by a packaging machine, wherein the suction nozzle comprises a tube assembly comprising a first tube and a second tube, wherein the first tube and the second tube are arranged coaxially with respect to one another and form a suction channel, wherein an annual gap, through which a gas can be blown into the suction channel, is provided between the first tube and the second tube, and wherein the first tube and the second tube are screwable to one another.

16. The suction nozzle according to claim 15 , wherein a width of the annular gap is adjustable, and the suction nozzle further comprises a pressurized gas connector.

17. A packaging machine, which is configured to produce packages from at least one film and comprises at least one suction nozzle according to claim 15 .

18. A suction nozzle, which is configured to aspirate a residual film of a film processed by a packaging machine, wherein the suction nozzle comprises a tube assembly comprising a first tube and a second tube, wherein the first tube and the second tube are arranged coaxially with respect to one another and form a suction channel, wherein an annular gap, through which a gas can be blown into the suction channel, is provided between the first tube and the second tube, and wherein the first tube has a first thread and/or the second tube has a second thread.

19. The suction nozzle according to claim 18 , wherein a cross-sectional area of the suction channel varies along a suction path, and the suction nozzle has a pressurized gas connector.

20. A packaging machine, which is configured to produce packages from at least one film and comprises at least one suction nozzle according to claim 18 .
