Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing blister packs of defined volume with a number of form esters / cavities for receiving packaged goods to be packaged in the blister packs and with a flat surface of a predetermined surface area, comprising the steps a) to g) of claim 1, and further a device for producing blister packs of the type specified above, the device comprising devices according to features a) to g) of the preamble of claim 2.
  • Such a method and such a device are known from DE.A-3 111 537 with regard to essential steps for the production of individual, sealed portion packs.
  • blister packs are produced has found increasing use in practice for pharmaceuticals in tablet or capsule form; you can hardly find tablets packed in tubes today. Blistering is also used for other people's items quite different areas used, for example in the household, food and confectionery, business and office, do-it-yourself area, etc. Today you will find blistered tubes, vials, tools, workpieces such as nails, tacks, staples , Spice jars etc. All of these gifts can be seen purely as examples, since the development suggests an expansion of the areas of application rather than a restriction.
  • the material obtained in this way which makes waste disposal superfluous, is to be used in plastic mold construction for PU foam molds, as filler material for adhesives and casting compounds in the construction industry and as an admixture product in the production of chipboard. It is therefore all about the use of a mixed material for mass parts, in which it is not the quality of the starting material that matters, but rather fillers and additives of inferior quality that can be used without detrimental effects on the end product. However, this does not take into account the high quality and the price of the basic materials aluminum and plastic such as PVC.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to design the blistering process so that a recycling-appropriate waste product is obtained, which enables the recovery of the expensive raw materials for themselves and thus considerable cost savings in material, and a suitable for this purpose, inexpensive to produce and, if necessary to provide retrofittable equipment in existing systems.
  • the construction of the device according to the invention makes it possible in a simple manner to connect only the surface of the actual packaging to the deforming film, while all other parts of the running films remain separate from one another.
  • the overall structure of such a device is inexpensive to manufacture and can easily be retrofitted in existing systems, just as existing tools can be reworked, for example by milling or eroding.
  • the punching tool in a separating or punching station of the system is designed in the size of the packaging in order to separate the packaging from the running film strand exactly along the active surfaces, so that the waste that is on the side and between the individual packages is in a continuous waste strand can be dissipated and used for each.
  • the cover film applies the pressure and heat required for sealing only in contact areas with the deep-drawn deforming film carrying the packaged goods also allows the packaged goods to be handled extremely gently. which is particularly important for heat and / or pressure sensitive materials such as soft gelatin capsules.
  • the fact that the upper tool part is formed in its active surface with heat-free points corresponding to the recesses in the lower tool part in terms of number, size and placement makes a significant contribution to avoiding that the heat to be supplied during the sealing process and the pressure cause any negative effects Have an influence on the packaged goods located in the deep-drawn nests of the deforming film, which would be particularly damaging if sensitive pharmaceuticals such as soft gelatin capsules are concerned.
  • the active surface of the second, upper tool part can preferably be raised in relation to the other surface sections thereof. In the course of retrofitting, this can easily be provided in the case of existing tool parts by milling or eroding the surface corresponding to the width of the film strand essentially known in the case of the sealing plates known hitherto, so that only the surface of the packaging to be produced remains as the active surface.
  • a blister packaging system shown in FIG. 1 which is however only shown in principle and shows no details, comprises on a machine bed 10 for the production of blister packs for pharmaceuticals (tablets, capsules or the like) by means of a base film, as a rule designating and used deformation film 11, which runs from a supply roll 111, and a cover film 12, which runs from a supply roll 121, a deformation station 13, in which the deformation film 11 to form nests 112 (FIG.
  • a sealing station 14 in which the deforming film 11 and cover film 12 are connected to one another with the application of heat and pressure, a separating or punching station 15, in which the finished blister packs are punched out of the continuous film strip, and a waste collecting station 16 , in the separate collecting rollers 161 for the waste of the deformation foil 11 and 162 for the waste of the cover foil 12 are provided.
  • this waste collection station 16 is in its separate design for the two foils due to the special design of the sealing tool according to FIG. 2 and 3 possible.
  • the waste does not necessarily have to be rolled up, but it can, of course, preferably also be fed separately, in each case to a first further processing operation, for example a chopping and / or granulating process.
  • a sealing tool 2 forming the essential component of the sealing station 14 comprises, as shown in FIG. 2, a lower tool part 21 in the form of a counter plate and an upper tool part 22 in the form of a sealing stamp.
  • the two tool parts 21, 22 are shown in their rest position, ie at a distance from one another.
  • the double film strip consisting of deforming film 11 with nests 112 already preformed thereon and packaged goods 3 deposited therein, here in the form of tablets, and of cover film 12 runs through them in cycles. In the position shown, the nests 112 are located above recesses 211 formed in the counter-holding plate 21.
  • the sealing process can be initiated by moving the counter-holding plate 21 upwards in the direction of arrow A, so that the nests 112 are received by the recesses 211 are and the counter plate 21, which is not heated and, if necessary, cooled in a suitable manner, first comes to rest against the underside of the deforming film 11.
  • the sealing stamp 22, which is heated to the required temperature, is usually fixed, but can also be moved downward in the direction of the arrow B in some devices. As a result of this relative movement, the surface of the deforming film 11 presses against the cover film 12.
  • the underside of the cover film 12 is provided with an adhesive layer required for the connection, the connection being produced by the pressure generated between the holding plate 21 and the sealing stamp 22 and the heat transmitted by the stamp 22 brings about with the surface of the deforming film 11.
  • the sealing stamp 22 comprises a raised active surface 221, the surface of which corresponds exactly to the surface of the packaging to be produced or is smaller than this, so that it is avoided in any case becomes that the punching waste / punching grid as described below have any connection between the materials, but that a simple and quick separate discharge is guaranteed.
  • the packaging comprises, by way of example only, three deep-drawn nests for tablets, as shown.
  • the active surface is produced in relation to the remaining part of the sealing plate by milling the latter, but any other suitable manufacturing method can also be used for the production of this active surface.
  • the punching tool of the punching station 15 will be provided in a corresponding manner, so that packaging is punched out according to the effective area for removal from the system 1, while a waste film strip of the deforming film 11 and the cover film 12 runs according to the ladder-like pattern shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the total surface of the sealing stamp 22 forms a recess 222 with respect to the active surface 221, which also improves the sealing pressure with a corrugation 223 which is known per se (this is only shown here in the upper left part, but extends over the entire active surface) and is provided with heat-free points 224 corresponding to the recesses 211 of the lower tool part 21.
  • corrugation forms in the case of a plate-shaped design of the tools, as shown in the example, small, pyramid-shaped or truncated pyramids, so that the sealing pressure is exerted evenly in spite of any unevenness or throwing-up that may exist in the foils, and this results in faultless packaging.
  • a plate-shaped design of the tools as shown in the example, small, pyramid-shaped or truncated pyramids, so that the sealing pressure is exerted evenly in spite of any unevenness or throwing-up that may exist in the foils, and this results in faultless packaging.
  • roller or roller tools their surface is usually provided with an arrangement of intersecting, raised lines in order to achieve uniform pressure conditions.
  • the overall advantages that can be achieved with the invention are that there are separated film wastes of a defined consistency, which can be easily and quickly fed to a recycling process that is solely geared to the individual material component in question, so that a highly pure and thus high-quality recycling product is obtained.
  • it is possible to reduce the costs for producing the corrugation which is to be limited to the dimensions of the respective packaging, at least with regard to the edge regions.
  • the latter taking into account the large number of different packaging sizes and the associated tool availability, is essential for the production costs of the system with tools.
  • the invention completely eliminates the need to dispose of the considerable waste from the films, which are produced especially in the packaging industry for pharmaceutical products, so that the invention makes a significant contribution to a more environmentally friendly design of the packaging technology.
