Abstract

The invention relates to a process for packaging a product, particularly a liquid or pasty product, comprising thermoforming, filling, sealing and cutting out recipients of thermoplastics material, in which the path of advance of the recipients in the forming and sealing stations is cleared by lowering the mobile part of the moulding unit and that of the lower sealing support; a lower cutting tool is used in the cut-out station, comprising a fixed longitudinal part and a mobile transverse part which is lowered to clear the path of advance the recipients; sections of supporting and guiding rail are used both in the sealing and cut-out stations and at the outlet of the cut-out station. In the sealing station, the corresponding sections of rail are used as fixed parts of sealing support, and, in the cut-out station, the corresponding sections of rail are used for longitudinally cutting out the recipients and for supporting and longitudinally guiding the latter.
