Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an apparatus for forming, filling and closing bags, each with a pouring device.
- An apparatus is already known from U.S. Pat. No. 7,469,522 B2. In the case of the known apparatus, two flexible material webs are conveyed independently of one another and formed into bags using a flexible-tube-forming device. In this case, pouring devices are connected to one of the material webs beforehand using an applicator, wherein corresponding holes are formed prior to this in the material web. Once the bags have been fully formed, this also including closure of the bags in the head region thereof, the bags are then filled in a filling device, by the caps being unscrewed from the pouring devices and the bags being filled through the pouring devices.
- The known apparatus, as a result of using two material webs which have to be welded by means of two longitudinal seams, involves the potential risk of the sealing in the region of the longitudinal seams not being tight. It should also be considered disadvantageous that the operation of filling the previously fully formed bags, provided with transverse seams, through the pouring devices means that this operation of filling the bags takes a relatively long period of time, since the filling cross section which is possible for the purpose of filling the bag is defined or limited by the size of the pouring device.
- Proceeding from the prior art presented, it is an object of the invention to develop an apparatus for forming, filling and closing bags, each with a pouring device, such that the bags produced by means of the apparatus are sealed to particularly good effect and can be filled relatively quickly. This object is achieved in the case of a device for forming, filling and closing bags, each with a pouring device, characterized in that the material web is sterilized by means of a sterilizing device, and in that the sterilizing device encloses the region of the shaping device and terminates above the application device for the pouring devices having the features of
claim 1. The invention is based on the idea of using a shaping device, which forms the flexible tube from a single material web, to reduce the number of longitudinal seams on the bags, which may potentially result in lack of sealing. Furthermore, filling over the entire opening cross section of the flexible tube makes a reduced filling period possible. - In a particularly advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the shaping device is designed as a forming shoulder, and that a filling tube of the filling device is arranged in the forming shoulder, the flexible tube being filled through this filling tube prior to a head closure being formed on the bag. Such a design is already known in practice, and has proven successful, in the case of so-called tubular-bag machines.
- Furthermore, it is provided that a second application device is provided for fastening an outer part of the pouring device, this second application device being arranged upstream of the transverse-seam-sealing and severing device, in the region of the filling tube, and connecting the second part of the pouring device to the first part of the pouring device from the outside of the flexible tube. This has the advantage that the filling tube can be used as an abutment for the purpose of applying the second part of the pouring device, and therefore the second application device can be of relatively straightforward construction.
- In order to allow straightforward transportation of the material web, in particular also over the forming shoulder, as soon as the first part of the pouring device has been connected to the material web, it is also particularly preferably provided that the inner part of the pouring device comprises a sheet-like element, which fully covers over the hole in the material web, and that the outer part comprises a mouthpiece with a cap element, which is connected to the first part, in particular by ultrasonic friction welding. The sheet-like element, which is relatively thin in the heightwise direction, renders it straightforwardly possible for the material web to be drawn over the forming shoulder, or the device for forming the bags, without there being any need for the latter to be of particularly complex design in order not to conflict with the first parts of the pouring device.
- Arranging the pouring device in the head region of the bags has the advantage that the bags, when tilted, can easily be completely emptied.
- In order to avoid the situation where germs form and/or multiply in certain foods, for example in milk, it is further provided, in a further design development of the invention, that the material web is sterilized by means of a sterilizing device, and that the sterilizing device encloses the region of the shaping device. This makes it possible, in particular, also for the inside of the material web to be protected, provided it has been arranged in a sterile atmosphere immediately prior to the flexible tubes being formed.
- In order for the sterilizing device, nevertheless, to be kept as compact as possible, and also to avoid disruption to the sterilizing operation even when first parts of the pouring devices are being refilled into the first application device, it is, moreover, particularly preferably provided that the sterilizing device is arranged downstream of the first application device. In other words, this means that maintenance work or repair in the region of the first application device is possible at any time without intervention having to be made, for this purpose, in the region of the sterilizing device.
- It is particularly preferred, in addition, to have production machines which comprise at least two apparatuses according to the invention, arranged parallel to one another, for forming, filling and closing bags, each with a pouring device. This allows the capacity of the installation to be increased relatively straightforwardly, and it is, if appropriate, also possible to use, for example, identical devices, e.g. identical conveying devices, in order to reduce the equipment-related outlay for a certain capacity.
- It is particularly preferred here if the apparatuses have a common sterilizing device or a common control device.
- The invention further comprises a method of forming, filling and closing bags, each with a pouring device, and to bags produced by this method.
- Further advantages and features of the invention can be gathered from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and with reference to the drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 illustrates anapparatus 10 for forming, filling andclosing bags 5, each with apouring device 1. Theapparatus 10 comprises astorage device 11, in which aflexible material web 12, consisting of heat-sealable plastics material, is stored in the form of aroll 13. Possible materials for the material web here are those which are suitable in the prior art for producing so-called “tubular bags”. As seen in the conveying direction of thematerial web 12, indicated by thearrow 14, thestorage device 11 is followed by afirst application device 15 for applying thepouring device 1. Thefirst application device 15 here has, in particular, apunch 16, which punches ahole 131, illustrated inFIG. 6 , into thematerial web 12, wherein the severed, in particular round punching waste is collected by means of acollecting container 18, which is located on that side of thematerial web 12 which is opposite to thepunch 16. - The
punch 16 is followed by an applicator 19 (not illustrated in detail) which applies first,inner parts 2 of thepouring devices 1 to theside 3 of thematerial web 12, this side forming the later inside of thebags 5, and connects them thereto. Thefirst parts 2 here comprise a rectangular or square blank of a plastics sheet material, which reinstates the necessary sealing and the desired barrier properties in the region of thehole 131. For example ultrasonic friction welding or heat sealing is used as the method of connecting thefirst part 2 of thepouring device 1 and thematerial web 12. - The
material web 12 provided with the uniformly spaced-apartfirst parts 2 of thepouring devices 1 then passes into the region of a sterilizingdevice 20. The sterilizingdevice 20 will be explained in more detail hereinbelow with reference toFIGS. 2 and 3 . A formingdevice 23 is provided for forming thebags 5 from thematerial web 12, this forming device having a formingshoulder 24, over which thematerial web 12 is drawn, and formed, in a known manner in order to give aflexible tube 25. The formingshoulder 24 here, likewise in a known manner, has afilling tube 27 of afilling device 28 passing through it, it being possible for one or more, in particular liquid contents to be discharged through this filling tube into theflexible tube 25 over the entire opening cross section or the entire cross-sectional surface area of theflexible tube 25. Thefilling device 28 here comprises a filling or metering means, which is designated by 29 inFIG. 1 . Asecond application device 30, for applying a second,outer part 4 of thepouring device 1, is arranged beneath the formingshoulder 24, but still level with, or in the region of thefilling tube 27. Thesecond part 4 of thepouring device 1 here is designed as a mouthpiece, which is preferably provided with a screw-on cap, wherein thesecond part 4 is connected to thefirst part 2 of thepouring device 1 from the outside 6 of theflexible tube 25. The operation of connecting the twoparts pouring device 1 here preferably takes place by ultrasonic friction welding. Thesecond part 2 contains cutting edges or the like (not illustrated) which, when thesecond part 4 is opened, slit or perforate thefirst part 2 in order to form a through-passage for the contents. - The
second device 30 is followed underneath by a transverse-seam-sealing device 33, which has two transverse-seam-sealing jaws base regions 7 and/or thehead regions 8 of thebag 5 and, on the other hand, to sever in each case onebag 5 from theflexible tube 25. As is further evident with reference toFIG. 1 , thepouring devices 1 are arranged on thebags 5 in in each case a slopinghead wall 9 of thebag 5. It is also possible to see a longitudinal-seam-sealing device 36 in the region of thefilling tube 27, this device having at least one longitudinal-seam-sealing jaw 37 in order for the two peripheral regions of thematerial web 12 positioned one above the other to be welded to one another to give theflexible tube 25. - As is evident only with reference to
FIG. 3 , the longitudinal-seam-sealing jaw 37 is followed underneath by further longitudinal-seam-sealing jaws 58, in order for four longitudinal seams to be formed in theflexible tube 25, these longitudinal seams being arranged in the respective corner regions of thebag 5 in order for the latter to be rectangular or cuboidal overall in cross section. The longitudinal seams, which do not connect the two lateral end regions of thematerial web 12, are formed here as so-called “blind seams”. - It is further evident with reference to
FIG. 1 that the sterilizingdevice 20 follows thefirst application device 15 for thepouring devices 1 and has ahousing 38 which encloses the region of the formingdevice 23, in particular of the formingshoulder 24, and terminates just above thesecond application device 30 for thepouring devices 1. -
FIG. 2 illustrates parts of theapparatus 10 somewhat more specifically, and further details which are not evident with reference toFIG. 1 will now be described. It is thus possible to see between thestorage device 11 and thefirst application device 15, on the one hand, and thefirst application device 15 and the sterilizingdevice 20, on the other hand, compensatingrollers material web 12 conveyed continuously within the sterilizingdevice 20 and thematerial web 12 conveyed in stepwise fashion in the region of thefirst application device 15. The sterilizingdevice 20, which is necessary depending on the relevant application case, is also illustrated in more detail. This device contains aperoxide bath 42, through which thematerial web 12 is guided over a plurality of deflectingrollers 43 in order for thematerial web 12 to be sterilized on its twosides peroxide bath 42 is followed, within thehousing 38, by a dryingdevice 44, which removes the peroxide film from thematerial web 12 in a known manner, e.g. by means ofblade nozzles 39 arranged on theopposite sides material web 12. The blade nozzles 39 are followed by heating or dryingdevices sides material web 12, and dry thematerial web 12. The sterilizingdevice 20 further comprises, as is customary,ventilation devices 47 andcatalytic converters 48. - The drying
device 44 is followed by a transportingdevice 50, which convey thematerial web 12 continuously, by a friction fit, by means of rollers. The transportingdevice 50 is followed by further compensatingrollers 51, for the interim storage of a portion of thematerial web 12. Also evident inFIG. 2 are two vacuum-assisted drawing-offbelts tube 27 in order to draw off thematerial web 12, or the formedflexible tube 25, cyclically over the formingshoulder 24. -
FIG. 3 illustrates aproduction machine 100 which comprises twoapparatuses 10 according to the invention arranged parallel to one another. This means that theproduction machine 100 contains a double set of essentially all those constituent parts of theapparatus 10 which have been explained in the context of the description above. For the sake of simplicity and of better clarity, however,FIG. 3 does not illustrate all the elements already described within the context ofFIGS. 1 and 2 . It is advantageously provided that theapparatuses 10 can also share certain devices. It is thus conceivable, in particular, for theapparatuses 10 to have acommon sterilizing device 25 and, if appropriate, a common control device. This makes it possible to reduce the equipment-related outlay while having double the yield or capacity in comparison with asingle apparatus 10. Also evident inFIG. 3 is a conveyingdevice 55, on which thefinished bags 5 are transported further, for example in order to be provided with further, external packaging. It is also possible to see that the transverse-seam-sealingdevice 33 hasmovable plate elements base regions 7 andhead regions 8 of thebags 5 are formed. Additional longitudinal-seam-sealingjaws 58 are also illustrated above the drawing-offbelts bags 5. -
FIG. 4 illustrates thestorage device 11 as used in theproduction machine 100, that is to say it serves for storing tworolls 13 arranged one beside the other. Thestorage device 11 has aframework 110 with two spaced-apart, vertically arranged carryinguprights pivoting mechanism roll 13, theroll 13 being mounted on a horizontal axial element, which in turn is connected to thepivoting mechanism rolls 13, for exchange purposes or for other reasons, to be pivoted separately, by means of itspivoting mechanism FIG. 4 . Therolls 13 here are centered automatically by the storage device 111 during changeover and during operation. - Parts of the
first application device 15 are illustrated in more detail inFIG. 5 . This device has aframework 120 on which, for eachmaterial web 12, astorage roll first parts 2 is mounted in a rotatable manner inaxial elements separate carriages double arrows parts 2 on thematerial web 12. Thefirst parts 2 are heated in order to be applied to thematerial web 12, this allowing them to be connected to thematerial web 12 to good effect by heat sealing. -
FIG. 6 illustrates amaterial web 12 in which ahole 131 has been formed by means of thepunch 16, which is illustrated inFIG. 1 . Also evident is afirst part 2, which has been connected to thematerial web 12 from theinner side 3 of thematerial web 12 by means of thefirst application device 15. -
FIG. 7 shows asevering device 132 as part of thefirst application device 15, this severing device severing a respectivefirst part 2 from thestorage roll 121. It is also possible to see thepunch 16 with itsabutment 133, further a heat-sealingjaw 134, for fastening the first part of thematerial web 12, and additionally acounterpart 135, for applying the necessary sealing pressure in conjunction with the heat-sealingjaw 134. The conveying direction of thematerial web 12 is indicated by thearrow 136 inFIG. 7 , this conveying direction running at right angles to the conveying direction of thematerial web 12. - Parts of the
second application device 30 are illustrated in more detail inFIG. 8 . It is possible to see the fillingtube 27, which serves simultaneously as forming tube, and afirst part 2 fastened on theflexible tube 25. Thesecond application device 30 has anultrasonic sealing device 141, which connects asecond part 4 to thefirst part 2 in each case. It is also possible to see afeed shaft 142, as part of a magazine for storing thesecond parts 4, and a conveyingarm 143, which is arranged such that it can be pivoted between a receiving position, for receiving asecond part 4, and a sealing position, for operative connection with theultrasonic sealing device 141.
