Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for gassing and closing packaging containers according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • a device of this type which has become known, for example, from DE-OS-24 21 531
  • the gas supply lines protrude between the containers and the film web that tapers towards the container at a flat angle.
  • a uniform gas distribution is achieved when the contents in the containers assume a flat mirror.
  • a device is desirable with which containers can also be closed in a protective gas atmosphere in which, for example, paste-like or paste-like pasty filler portions, due to the filler Form of a pile are filled in the container, the upper part of the pile protruding beyond the container opening.
  • the device according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the accumulation of portions of the filling material is distributed without being in contact with a foreign body from the supported film web with simultaneous flushing with protective gas in the container.
  • the container may have the form of a shell and a chain-like linked, or it may in individual containers, such as cups, bowls ud g l., Will find a transport device with plates using constituting the lower boundary surface for the wedge-shaped fumigation space together with the containers.
  • a gas flow occurs essentially in the form of a serpentine line, so that a clean flushing of the head space of the containers and the accumulation of the filling material occurs , whereby a particularly low gas consumption is achieved.
  • FIG. 1 shows a container form, filling and closing device in simplified cross section
  • FIG. 2 shows a gassing device of the device according to FIG. 1 in longitudinal section in the plane II-II of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows the gassing device according to FIG 2 in cross section in the plane III-III of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 4 a gassing device for containers fed in two rows simplified in plan view
  • FIG. 5 a gassing device for containers fed in four rows simplified in plan view.
  • the container-forming, filling and closing device has, in succession, a shaping device 10 in which bowl-shaped containers 2 are formed at equal intervals in a packaging material strip 1, a filling device 11, a gassing device 12 and a closing device 13 in which a film web 3 with the Edges 5 of the contiguous containers 2 are sealed, which are separated by a cutting device 14 after closing.
  • the devices 10-13 for forming, filling, gassing and closing the containers 2 are arranged in a chamber 15 in which an aseptic atmosphere is maintained by initially sterilizing and supplying a sterile gas with overpressure in order to ensure sterile packaging of perishable goods such as foodstuffs.
  • a device 12 for supplying an inert gas and maintaining a protective gas atmosphere is arranged in the device between the filling and closing devices 11, 13.
  • the filled containers 2 which are conveyed by a conveyor device, not shown, are carried by a support track 20 and their laterally projecting edges 5 are guided by strips 21.
  • the second deflecting roller 23 is arranged at a distance above the containers 2 so that its lower surface line is at a distance from the top of the containers 2 or their edges 5 which is somewhat larger than that Accumulation of the filler portions 4 used in the containers 2.
  • a plate 24 is arranged in a stationary manner, the underside of which lies in the inclined plane described above and forms a supporting slideway for the film web 3.
  • a plate 25 adjoins the plate 24, which extends into the U-shaped upper welding tool 26 of the closing device and whose underside runs at a small distance and parallel to the top of the container 2.
  • the plate 24, the strips 21 and the support track 20 are firmly connected to two side plates 28.
  • the gas distributor 32 is supplied with adjustable gas from a supply of inert gas through a sterile filter 33, a throttle valve 34 and a flow meter 37.
  • the two tubes 30, 31 extend longitudinally in register with the lateral edges 5 of the containers 2 and the film web 3 in the region of the gassing device 12 have gas outlet openings 35 on the sides facing one another with a flow direction running transversely to the conveying direction of the containers 2.
  • the gas outlet openings 35 are arranged at a distance of two container lengths on a tube 30, 31, namely on the mutually facing sides of the two tubes mutually offset by one container length, so that an essentially serpentine gas flow (arrows) between the film web 3 and the containers 2 at the top and bottom bounded wedge-shaped space from the top, with a combined cross and counter flow in the gassing device 12 is present. With this flow, which also thoroughly flushes the spaces between the contents 4, very low oxygen values are achieved in the closed containers 2 with low gas consumption.
  • the film web 3 resting on the edges of the containers 2 at the end of the gassing device 12 is still held down by the shoulder 25 of the plate 24 and sealed by the pressed-together tools 26, 27 of the closing device 13 by means of a U-shaped sealing seam 6 with the respectively supplied container 2. wherein the transverse seam part forms the rear closure seam of the leading and the front closure seam of the subsequent container 2. After the containers 2, which are still connected to one another, exit through an outlet slot 36 in the chamber 15, the closed containers 2 are separated by the cutting device 14.
  • contiguous containers 2 are filled, gassed and sealed in a single row.
  • 4 shows, in simplified form, an exemplary embodiment in which containers 2 connected in two rows are treated.
  • a gas supply pipe 38 is arranged above the free side edges of a row of containers.
  • Each gas supply pipe 38 has gas outlet openings 35 at a distance of two container lengths, which are arranged offset by one container length.
  • This embodiment according to FIG. 4 is particularly useful for small containers.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 5 is suitable for treating containers 2 fed in four rows.
  • gas supply pipes 39 are also arranged above the connected side edges of the containers.
  • the arrangement of the gas outlet openings 35 is described as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3.
