The process is shown schematically in Figure 1. By increasing the frequency of drops of granulate portions, the output rate can be easily increased. However, the time distance between the portions must be kept large enough so that there is enough time to perform sealing. Otherwise, particles get caught between the sealing jaws, which often results in need for maintenance. Thus, compact falling of the portions is important for kee
