Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling and emptying a container assembly for the transport and storage of liquid or powdery filling material, with a supporting outer container made of thermoplastic material and an inner container designed as a film bubble, which is adapted to the interior of the outer container.
  • a supporting outer container made of thermoplastic material and an inner container designed as a film bubble, which is adapted to the interior of the outer container.
  • the film bubble makes it easy to use the outer container multiple times. It is also arranged for disposal reasons.
  • the load-bearing outer container can be used several times if after each use the film bubble to be disposed of, which may contain remnants of environmentally harmful liquids, is removed and disposed of in accordance with regulations. In such a case, it is not necessary to laboriously clean or decontaminate the interior of the outer container. It is understood that precautions must be taken to ensure that the film bubble does not become leaky after it has taken up the liquid or powdered filling material.
  • the film bubble is attached to the opening of the container lid both during filling and during transport or storage of the container assembly.
  • a sealing plug designed as an outlet valve is inserted into a tubular extension of the film bubble and, in the exemplary embodiment, fastened to an outlet pipe socket of the outer container using complex clamping means and sealing means.
  • a container assembly is known from DE-A-22 55 299, at which the outer container is a barrel and in which the inner container is referred to as a pouch and is connected to the bung in the barrel lid.
  • the insert bag will tear off the bung opening and its contents will be emptied into the interior of the barrel.
  • the inner bag has an outlet nozzle which is arranged in the upper region of the folding container and passes through the opening there. It can be clamped there and consequently also tear off.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type described above, which enables easy filling and emptying and at the same time ensures that both when filling and emptying the container assembly and the stresses that usually occur during transport or storage an uncontrolled Emptying the inner container into the outer container is practically no longer possible and that the inner container remains sufficiently tight.
  • the container assembly shown in the figures is intended for the transport and storage of liquid or powdery contents.
  • the basic structure includes a load-bearing outer container 1 made of thermoplastic material and an inner container designed as a film bubble 2.
  • the inner container is adapted to the interior of the outer container.
  • the outer container 1 has in its container shell 3 in the area of the bottom 4 an outlet pipe socket 5 with an external thread 6 for a lid 7 or for the connection of fittings.
  • the outer container 1 In its container lid 8, the outer container 1 has a container lid opening 9 with a large diameter compared to the outlet pipe socket 5 of the container jacket 3, which has a collar and can be closed.
  • the film bubble 2 can be filled with the filling material and is supported on the outer container 1 in the filled state. It therefore rests under the influence of gravity, which acts on the filling material, on the bottom 4 of the outer container 1 and lies on the inside of the container edge 3 of the outer container 1.
  • the film bubble 2 has a hose connector 10 which can be fixed on the outer edge of the outlet pipe connector 5 and can be closed by a valve 11 screwed onto the outlet pipe connector 5 and opened for the purpose of emptying. From FIG. 2 it can be seen that the film bubble 2, which is completely or partially filled with the filling material, is arranged with its top side free of the container lid opening 9 in the outer container 1.
  • the film bubble 2 has an upper filling opening 14, which can be connected to the container lid opening 9 for the purpose of filling and then closed and removed from the container lid opening 9. - It goes without saying that for the introduction of the film bubble 2 in the outer container 1 can be worked with suitable auxiliary devices, which have not been shown.
