A sealing device producing sealed packages filled with pourable food
product from sheet packaging material comprises a supporting frame, a
forming mechanism movable with respect to the frame along a path to fold
the sheet packaging material, a sealing arrangement carried by the
forming mechanism to seal the sheet packaging material and form the
packages, and an electromagnetic power device supplying electric energy
to the sealing arrangement. The power device comprises at least one
primary winding fixed to the frame and connectable to an electric energy
source, and a secondary winding movable along the path, powering the
sealing arrangement, and receiving electric energy by electromagnetic
induction from the primary winding as the secondary winding travels past
the primary winding. When interconnected by electromagnetic induction,
the primary and secondary windings are so arranged as to have respective
adjacent portions interjacent in a first direction crosswise to the
forming mechanism movement path.
