Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device for bars of stacked packaging elements, such as cups, lids, etc., which are intended in particular for the reception of food and beverages, with a transport container or frame of cubic shape, in which the element bars are arranged in foil-wrapped form.
  • a transport device of the type mentioned is known.
  • the element bars are stored in an orderly manner.
  • the inside of the packaging container is lined with a plastic film, which is closed before the container is closed.
  • packaging elements of this type are used for the food, beverage or luxury food industry, it is necessary to package the packaging elements as dust-free as possible in order to prevent further contamination during transport and storage, and to keep them in the desired clean state until the filling process .
  • the transport container and its inner packaging are opened anyway in order to remove the packaging element bars one after the other and to feed them to a filling machine.
  • the poles are openly accessible for a long time, so that they can dust again and germs can settle.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a transport device of the type mentioned, which enables an automatic filling of the transport container and an automatic feed of the element bars to a filling machine and at the same time ensures a high degree of sterility and dust-free of the packaging elements up to the filling process.
  • the belt also enables chain-like processing of the individual element bars one after the other, which enables automatic loading of filling machines. Once the filling machine has gripped one end of the film strip, it can move the other element rods in succession after opening the same and removing the first element rod in the course of further processing by further conveying the film strip, opening it and removing the consume the following element bars.
  • the invention also has the advantage that the individual elements of the element bars are held together securely in the film strip. This is important for the correct assignment of the individual packaging elements to one another at the moment of delivery to the filling machine and for the unstacking process of the element bars themselves.
  • the transport container can also be designed in the form of a transport frame. It is important that he is able to hold one or more film tapes securely for transport.
  • the packaging container which is designed in particular as a corrugated cardboard box.
  • the production cost structure of corrugated cardboard is characterized by a comparatively low raw material value and, due to a complex reprocessing process, by high process costs.
  • the film webs, for. B. consisting of thermoplastics used as relative raw materials are valuable and can be reused easily and cheaply. This property and the fact that the invention produces plastics at all in worthwhile amounts makes it possible to use the recycling process efficiently and economically and thus to bring about considerable cost savings in the invention.
  • the element rods are arranged with their rod axis transverse to the longitudinal extension of the film strip.
  • Such an orientation creates a unit that is movable in itself, since the film strip can easily be folded around axes parallel to the rod axes, so that the transport container can be completely filled with the film strip or the element rods contained therein.
  • the removal of the film strip is also facilitated by the described orientation of the element bars because of the flexibility of the film strip.
  • a simple construction of the film strip results from the fact that it consists of a first and a second film layer, which are arranged parallel to one another and have closed spaces between them in a cylindrical shape for the element rods.
  • the free spaces are under excess pressure. Damage to the packaging elements due to the weight of the other packaging elements can also be excluded with this measure.
  • the inflated free spaces can have a larger volume than would be necessary to accommodate the container rods. The additional space creates a safety cushion to the neighboring parts of the film tape and protects the enclosed element bars.
  • thermoplastic materials are meltable raw materials that can be shaped and reprocessed with comparatively little thermal energy and low process costs. As a result, considerable savings in raw materials can be achieved.
  • a rod 1 is shown in section, which consists of stacked packaging elements 2, in the present case made of yoghurt pots.
  • the cups are conical so that they can be stacked together.
  • a predetermined number of cups are combined to form an element rod, which can be sold and made available in transport devices 3 and 4, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the transport devices each comprise a transport container 5 or a transport frame in cubic form, for. B. a box, a tin box or one of the commercially available containers.
  • the shown Transport containers each have a loading and unloading opening 6 at the top or side, which can be opened and closed, for example, by flaps 7.
  • the element bars 1 are each arranged in the transport container along a film strip 8, which is made of plastic and each individually surrounds the element bars in an airtight manner.
  • the film strip preferably consists of a first and a second film layer, which are arranged on top of one another and have free spaces 9, which are closed between them, in the shape of a cylinder. These free spaces serve to accommodate the element bars. In the present case, they are arranged with their rod axis A transverse to the longitudinal extent L of the film strip 8. In the film strip shown in FIG. 2, there is a distance between the individual free spaces which corresponds approximately to the cylinder diameter of the free spaces themselves.
  • This arrangement is intended to provide the film strip with a certain degree of flexibility and, moreover, to enable it to be arranged inside the transport container 5, as is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the individual film rods can each be arranged one above the other in a gap, so that the largest possible number of element rods can be accommodated in a transport container.
  • the film strip begins at one end in the lower right corner of the container.
  • the tape is then laid in layers in a meandering shape until the entire container is filled.
  • the other end of the band is located diagonally opposite at the upper left corner of the container and has an insertion strip 10, with the aid of which the film band can be inserted into a filling machine for the automatic removal of the individual container rods.
  • the end is releasably connected to the lid 7 of the container 5.
  • the element rods do not have to be held spaced apart from one another in the film strip in the manner described, they can also be arranged directly next to one another, as the embodiment of FIG. 4 shows. In both cases, however, are the foil tapes. successively linked together like a chain, so that an automatic loading of a filling machine is possible.
  • the film strip 8 is suspended from carriers 11 in a loop-like manner.
  • the carriers can either span the entire opening width of the transport container, or can be arranged on the side walls of the same in such a way that the film strip is only held laterally.
  • both ends can be provided with end pieces 10.
  • the element rods are introduced into a film strip 8 in which they are individually accommodated in an airtight manner on all sides.
  • the film strip does not need to be formed in the symmetrical manner shown with the same lower and upper length of the free space 9.
  • Cross-sectional shapes of the film strip are also conceivable, in which the free spaces are placed on a base film layer as a bump, the film webs being of different thicknesses.
  • the film strip is introduced into the transport container.
  • one end of the film strip is gripped and fed to the filling machine, whereupon the film strip is pulled out of the transport container in the manner of a chain in the course of using the element rods or their elements.
  • the individual element bars are released from the composite with the film strip after opening the free spaces of the element bars that are in each case to be processed. This can be done, for example, by means of a knife or by means of heating wires which open the film strip at a favorable point either on the end regions of the free spaces or on the outer surfaces.
  • the free spaces can also be formed as loops of only one base film, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 7 two packaging containers 5 are shown side by side, in which the film strips are connected to each other at the ends assigned to each other, so that ultimately there is a continuous chain consisting of several film strips.
  • Such an arrangement is advantageous because of the cost savings both when filling the transport containers and when emptying them.
  • the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment shown. So z. B. packaging elements for the inclusion of other goods, eg. B. oils, greases, varnishes, etc. are provided, are equally introduced in foil tapes according to the invention. If the transport container is to be dispensed with for any reason, the film strips can also be used without the transport container.
