ABSTRACT:
A packaging unit (1) for continuously producing aseptic sealed packages (2), containing a pourable food product, from a tube (14) of packaging material filled with the food product and fed along a vertical supply path (A); the unit (1) has a first and second chain conveyor (10, 11) respectively having a number of jaws (12) and a number of counter-jaws (13), which interact with the tube (14) to grip and heat-seal the tube at successive cross sections and so define a strip (25) of packages (2) connected to one another by respective transverse sealing bands (26); and the unit (1) also has a first and a second cutting member (54, 55) located beneath the conveyors (10, 11) and symmetrically on opposite sides of the supply path (A), rotating synchronously and in opposite directions about respective axes of rotation (G, H) crosswise to the supply path (A), and cooperating with the strip (25) of packages (2) to cut the strip (25) along the sealing bands (26) and draw the packages (2) away from the chain conveyors (10, 11).
