Description

The capsule bag and the making thereof of Reclosable, the method and apparatus of filling and sealing-in
The present invention relates generally to the packing of food, more precisely, relate to the capsule bag of Reclosable and the method and apparatus of this seed capsules bag of making, filling and sealing-in.
Well-known in the industry, for some food, packaging efficiency and acceptable shelf-life can obtain by the mode that in making/filling/sealing-in (FFS) operation this food closely is sealed in the package.
The package of viable commercial to be provided by the FFS operation, must set about considering several problems.One of problem of considering is that package must be opened by client and do not have too big difficulty.Necessary economy of the production that another problem that will consider is a package and package should be able to be with high relatively speed making, filling and sealing-ins.Preferably package still is durable so that can bear stress in the FFS operation and transportation subsequently and carrying and be not damaged and make appearance damage.
In recent years, to provide again the needs of closure function increasing always with slide fastener or other device.Be general rectangular configuration in a kind of special packing configuration of commercial use in recent years, it has the slide fastener of a Reclosable that extends along an edge in a folding always, as shown in No. 4589145, the US Patent for example.For open package, the material of this package can be along folding edge tear band seam so that can open slide fastener so that can take food near slide fastener then.With along one of minor face edge of package slide fastener is set and compares, along the long edge of package slide fastener is set and can improves the convenience degree of taking the interior thing.Be equipped with under the situation that folded goods of thinly slicing or resembles the bigger article the cheese at each package, this folded piece or this piece goods can be placed on a level to the strip plate on and this strip plate can around article be wrapped with form as No. 4589145, the above-mentioned US Patent of quoting described in package.
When handling the goods that constitute by large quantities of fractionlets that resembles cheese dust, cereal or the like and so on, generally preferably make this package partly form a capsule bag, one end of this capsule bag, or be opening along an edge, the orientation of this capsule bag makes open end or opening edge be positioned at the top of the capsule bag of part formation, so that by this open top or opening edge goods are sent in the capsule bag of this part formation.
A kind of approach of considering the problems referred to above in the food that packing is made of a large amount of fine grained chippings that solves has been represented in the vertical FFS operation of that class that resembles described in No. the 4874257th, US Patent.In the method for No. 4874257, US Patent, slide fastener causes goods to flow down from filler by gravity and fills this capsule bag along an edge-perpendicular setting of the package that forms.
Another kind of approach is described for No. 4945714 by US Patent, wherein, when making, filling and sealing-in capsule bag, these capsule bag along continuous straight runs are carried, in No. 4945714, US Patent, the capsule bag is to be made on the orientation that reverses by single strip plate, and this strip plate has a folding and a slide fastener is arranged in this folding scope in its lower end.Two potential problems of this approach are: food may take place pierce phenomenon in the slide fastener, and if porous punching is made on the top of this capsule bag so that opening, perhaps this top so that admit a display hook, may be caused losing leak tightness by punching.
A problem must setting about handling in above-mentioned and so on the package that is equipped with slide fastener is: under the termination of slide fastener extends into situation in the sealing area, because the thickness at the sealing area of slide fastener end has increased, therefore, under high through-put rate, provide leak tightness to meet difficulty.
