Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an installation for packaging a palletized load in a shrinkable plastic cover.
  • the palletized load is placed on a table (first phase), then the open cover is put on to place it around and on the palletized load (second phase) and, finally, it is heated the cover thus placed on the palletized load in order to carry out its heat-shrinking (third phase).
  • the palletized load remains stationary both horizontally and vertically, the installation being a single station and a movable support table only horizontally for the supply and discharge of the load .
  • the installation comprises a horizontal frame, the opening of which corresponds to the size of the palletized load, slidably mounted in the vertical direction and driven to slide by drive means such as motorized endless chains.
  • the frame can include, integrated, heating means making it possible to heat shrink the cover when the frame is mounted.
  • Means for supplying pressurized air can be associated with the frame to produce an air mattress between the frame and the cover.
  • the packaging is carried out according to the same general sequence in three phases (placing the load on the table, placing the cover, heating). However, during the phase of fitting the cover, the palletized load is moved vertically and, between this second phase and the third heating phase, the palletized load is moved horizontally, the installation being at two stations corresponding respectively, the first, in the second phase and, the second, in the third phase.
  • the installation further comprises, at the first station, a lifting table. Air suction means are placed, at the first station, under the lifting table and have the sole function of participating in the positioning of the cover on the palletized load during the second phase of positioning.
  • a cover is used whose height is greater than that of the palletized load so that the lower free end of the cover initially falls and protrudes below the pallet is later folded horizontally on its lower horizontal face.
  • the installation comprises, at the first station, folding means such as pivoting arms and, at the second station, separate retaining means.
  • folding means such as pivoting arms and, at the second station, separate retaining means.
  • the lifting table is openwork and the pallet allows the passage of air.
  • the packaging is carried out according to the same general sequences with three phases (process) and two stations (installations).
  • the cover as in the second embodiment, initially protrudes under the pallet.
  • a lifting table is provided at the second heating station.
  • the second heating station mainly comprises a fixed heating enclosure and means for circulating hot air in the enclosure and around the palletized load. The air causes the cover to be applied under the pallet and simultaneously heat shrink it.
  • the packaging is produced by completely separating the operations of fitting the cover and heating for the shrinkage.
  • the heating is carried out by means of a frame provided with radiant heat emitters mounted vertically sliding. Gripping means actuated by springs are associated with the support table to maintain the lower free outer part of the cover during heating.
  • the aim is to fix the cover under the load or the pallet.
  • the cover protrudes under the load or the pallet.
  • the vacuum is evacuated in the cover by means of a fan placed under the load or the pallet.
  • the pallet rests on a platform, being moved apart to allow the cover to be folded down.
  • the platform has openings for the passage of suction air.
  • the heating means consist of a heating mat.
  • a packaging process is known (document US 3429095) of a palletized load in a cover having the main characteristic of being airtight but not of being heat shrinkable.
  • the cover is placed around and on the palletized load, the lower free end part falling from the cover is subjected to the pallet, in a manner that is substantially sealed by means of a link, the vacuum is created in the cover and in particular in the load itself from a valve located in the middle of a vertical lateral face of the load, the valve is closed in a leaktight manner and, finally, a covering of the cover thus put in place is carried out.
  • the invention aims to solve the problem of very tight securing of the cover to the load, in the case of a process of the three-stage type operating procedure for placing on the table, placing the cover on a palletized load, heating the cover . More specifically, the invention aims to solve the problem of securing the lower free end part of the cover to the pallet. Indeed, in the second, third and fifth embodiments described, this subjugation requires the implementation of a lifting table or sufficiently high and the use of a sufficient cover height. In the second embodiment, the securing requires, in addition, the presence of folding means and retaining means.
  • the securing also requires the use of a sufficient cover height and, moreover, a complex adjustment of the flow of hot air and its speed along its path, deflection means appropriate air flow, support means capable of letting air pass.
  • this securing requires spring gripping means and have the result that the lower free end of the cover is not retracted.
  • the securing requires on the one hand a special pallet with peripheral groove and, on the other hand, a step of placing in place of an appropriate link so that the packaging produced is heterogeneous.
  • the second and fifth embodiments necessarily imply the use of an openwork table and a pallet capable of allowing the passage of air, these conditions being essential.
  • the invention first of all proposes a method for packaging a palletized load in a shrinkable plastic cover which comprises a first phase, in which the palletized load is placed on a support; a second phase in which the open cover is put on to place it around and on the palletized load and a third phase in which the load thus placed on the palletized load is heated in order to carry out its heat shrinking, process in which the air is sucked located in the cover at least during the third heating phase, characterized in that before the air suction, between the palletized load and the cover, in particular in a lateral clearance of the air suction means and these air suction means are removed after aspiration, so as to mainly suck the air in the lateral clearance.
  • the invention proposes an installation which includes a support table, means for threading the cover to place it around and on the palletized load, heating means of the cover thus placed on the palletized load in order to heat shrink it and air suction means characterized in that the air suction means are placed substantially outside, at the lateral periphery and in the vicinity of the support table so as to be between the load and the cover after the latter has been placed around the load.
  • the invention makes it possible to achieve very close securing of the cover to the palletized load and mainly of the lower free end edge of the cover to the pallet. It makes it possible to dispense with the use of a lifting table as a compulsory member, both for the installation of the cover and for its heating. It authorizes the use of an airtight pallet or the presence between the pallet and the load of a format made of an airtight material. It makes it possible to dispense, as a compulsory condition, with a cover protruding under the pallet. It makes it possible to dispense with additional folding and retaining means (second embodiment) or gripping means (fourth embodiment).

It applies more especially in the case where a format 9 also in the form of a film of heat-shrinkable plastic material is interposed between the load 1 proper, in particular its lower horizontal face 6, and the pallet 2. It also applies more particularly in the case of a load to be packed with a cover applied narrowly to the load, the latter may have an irregular shape.
  • the pallet 2 can be of any suitable type, in particular made of wood and comprising two horizontal panels respectively upper 10 and lower 11 associated by blocks forming a spacer 12 defining the thickness of the pallet 2 and the vertical lateral faces 13 of the pallet 2.
