DE4206947A1 - MULTIPLE-WAY PACKING FOR RUBBER - Google Patents

Abstract

A re-usable, unitary package for rubber, useful in particular for packaging, storing and transporting synthetic rubber, is composed of a flat pallet (1) with a continuous edge (5) and centering feet (4), and a fitted conical envelope (6) made of a single piece that tapers upwardly on all sides and is closed at the top by a lid (9). Two opposite lateral surfaces of the envelope are provided with recesses (8) arranged next to the upper periphery of the envelope. The envelope with its fitted lid may be pulled upwardly off the packaged goods by holding its recesses.

Description

Reusable packaging is used for packaging, storage and Transport of synthetic rubber in the form of compacts is available, used. It is also one Can be used for natural rubber. The reusable packaging can still be used wherever dimensionally stable transport goods during storage and transport require adequate protection against external influences.

Reusable packaging made of metal with one is known rectangular base frame fixed vertical side walls, that can be folded outwards and inwards. These are also Sidewalls only plugged in and can optionally be removed. The individual side walls are at the top Clasps clipped together.

Another version is also designed so that a special elaborate lifting device the four vertical Side walls can be pulled off together to then to be able to remove the individual rubber compacts. Such reusable packaging is for return transport Saving of transport space can be folded.

It's a lattice-like widening one-piece reusable packaging for natural rubber known for the purpose of stackability when loaded because of the Conical additional mechanical movable auxiliary devices on which other similar reusable packaging can be put on.

To unload this reusable packaging must be by means of a Additional device on a forklift turned through 180 ° and the rubber on an additionally provided pallet be deposited. So that the rubber does not The packaging falls out prematurely closed at the top with a shrink film, which at the end of the Panning process must be removed manually. For a return transport are these empty reusable packaging due to their Taper stackable one inside the other. This version is for flowable synthetic rubber cannot be used.  

All these known reusable packaging have the disadvantage that they consist of many different parts prone to failure, require a high manufacturing cost and for the filling and emptying additional manual intervention on the Packaging itself is necessary. A distance of Rubber residues before reuse is only increased Effort possible. To avoid the latter disadvantage plastic films between the metal walls and the rubber, which must be disposed of.

The problem underlying the invention is a simple one Emptying and good stackability of the product filled or emptied reusable packaging without additional to achieve manual operations or auxiliary devices, a space-saving return transport of the empty reusable packaging can be reached. There is still the problem to facilitate the cleaning of used reusable packaging, as well as durability with little manufacturing effort increase.

The problem is solved by a three-part reusable packaging solved that from a flat pallet with a closed Floor area and a surrounding board on the outside Circumference of the pallet surface, one placed on it one-piece, conical, evenly upward to all sides tapered coat with at least two opposite Pages immediately below the top margin arranged recesses and a lid with securing elements consists.

The flat pallet has feet with centering, which the outer edge of the upper circumference of a second reusable packaging reach over, with the feet on the upper circumference of the coat this second reusable packaging.

The conical shell is on its upper and lower circumference open and points to at least two opposite Side walls in the area of the outer lower jacket circumference Projections on which are stacked the empty coats support their lower circumference and thus jamming of the coats with one another prevented.  

To fill with rubber, the lid is removed and the Pressings are inserted from above and the lid is put on, which is secured against slipping sideways. The filled Reusable packaging can be used several times if necessary stacked on top of each other. The individual Reusable packaging through the centering on the feet of the Flat pallet secured against slipping.

To remove the rubber, the conical jacket is velvet Cover by force input into the recesses at the top the coat lifted up. The rubber remains doing so on the flat pallet and can thus be ergonomically favorable be removed. As a result of the upward taper is the removal of the under pressure by the flowable synthetic rubber standing coat favored. If necessary, after a partial removal individual Rubber compacts the coat back onto the flat pallet be put on.

To save space and for return transport, the Flat coats empty the coats, including the lid, several times are stacked one inside the other.

The advantage of this reusable packaging is that all necessary manipulations for unpacking and stacking the coats only by means of normal lifting devices without additional auxiliary devices and performed without the manual effort of additional assistants can be.

Count as advantages of the reusable packaging according to the invention furthermore that it does not contain any movable closure parts, is resistant to damage and by the smooth inner surfaces make cleaning easy and with simple means can be automated.

The invention is to be illustrated using an example. Fig. 1 illustrates a reusable packaging unit than from flat pallet, mantle and cover. The Fig. 2 shows the interlocking stacking of empty shells with lids on a flat pallet in section. The reusable packaging shown is made of stainless steel. The flat pallet 1 contains two longitudinal skids 2 for transport on a roller conveyor.

The centering 3 on the feet 4 are 40 mm high. The attached conical jacket 6 is guided laterally by the peripheral rim 5 on the circumference of the flat pallet 1 . The dimensions are 1280 mm in length, 1080 mm in width and 977 mm in height. The angle of inclination of all side surfaces of the jacket 6 is 3.26 degrees to the vertical. For stability against the internal pressure and because the product can be stacked five times on top of one another, the side walls are secured by 16 mm high circumferential reinforcements 7 .

A lower circumferential stiffening 7 carries projections 10 on two opposite sides, on which the lower edges of the overlying sheath are supported when empty shells are stacked together. On the long sides of the jacket 6 , two recesses 8 are made for gripping through the forks of a forklift.

Such reusable packaging can be filled with 750 kg of synthetic rubber, consisting of 30 compacts of 25 kg each. With a stack height of 2.30 m, five empty coats can be stacked one inside the other with the lid on. The projections 10 attached to the outer surfaces of the stiffeners 7 prevent the conical jackets from jamming into one another.
