Abstract

The disclosure relates to an apparatus for making a continuous welding joint. A material web (20) formed into a tube (8) is sealed along the longitudinal joint seam in that a joint heater (1), preferably an induction heater, is disposed in parallel along the longitudinal joint seam. The sealing operation takes place continuously in a point (18) where a compression device (2) consisting of a pressure roller (9) and a counter pressure roller (10) is provided. The compression device (2) is interconnected together with the joint heater (1), to form a moving unit which may move vertically up and down in relation to the sealing point (18).
