Longitudinal
cut-seal device (31) for a longitudinal
cut-seal
system (24) of a film
packaging machine (10), wherein the longitudinal
cut-seal device (31) comprises a first pair of endless belts (42, 44), wherein the first pair of endless belts (42, 44) is configured to draw an upper (14) and a lower (16) film web between them and guide them in a
film plane (18), and wherein the longitudinal cut-seal device (31) further comprises a sealing blade (56) for longitudinally
cutting and sealing the upper (14) and the lower (16) film web, wherein the longitudinal cut-seal device (31) comprises a second pair of circulating endless belts (72, 79), wherein the sealing blade (56) is arranged between the first pair of endless belts (42, 44) and the second pair of endless belts (72, 79), wherein the first pair of circulating endless belts (42, 44) extends over at least two first rotational elements (46, 48, 49;51, 53, 54), wherein the second pair of rotating endless belts (72, 79) rotates over at least two second rotating elements (47, 46; 51, 52), wherein the first rotating elements (46, 48, 49; 51, 53, 54) and the second rotating elements (47, 46; 51, 52) have parallel axes of rotation (86, 88), wherein the first pair of endless belts (42, 44) rotates in a first plane of rotation (78), wherein the
welding knife (56) extends longitudinally in a plane of
welding knife (56), wherein the first plane of rotation (78) and the plane of
welding knife are each perpendicular to the
film plane (18), characterized in that the first plane of rotation (78) and the plane of welding knife (56) intersect each other at an angle (76), wherein the belt guide (84) each endless belt (72, 79) of the second pair of endless belts (72, 79) obliquely to a respective axis of rotation of the at least two second rotational elements (47, 46;51, 52) extends, wherein a width (92) of the second pair of endless belts (72, 79) is smaller than a width (94) of the first pair of endless belts (42, 44), and wherein the longitudinal separation welding device (31) has a drive device (90), wherein the drive device (90) drives the first pair of endless belts (42, 44) and the second pair of endless belts (72, 79) together.
