Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling a carton container closed at one end, in particular at an end equipped with a spout or closure, with a flowable product, in particular a liquid, and for closing the container at the other end, consisting of one in a vertical Level continuous endless conveyor with cells open to the outside, into which the containers with an open end can be plugged by an upstream transfer unit, the endless conveyor gradually moving the containers under a stationary product outlet arranged in its upper area and opening from the product outlet to the upper one in this manner Area arranged, stationary closure elements and then transported to an output station arranged in its lower area, which lowers the containers with removal and transfer elements from the cells and transfers them to a conveyor.
  • folding box blanks provided with folding grooves and glued together to form a tube section on a rotating mandrel wheel with radially arranged thorns with a rectangular cross section and to seal them at one end.
  • Heat-sealable cardboard composite material is used as the cutting material.
  • the folding box containers thus formed which are open at one end, are removed from the mandrels by a transfer station and transferred to a horizontally and rectilinear transporter, which transports the containers step by step under one or more product outlets arranged one behind the other.
  • the problem with this step-by-step linear transport, especially with liquid, is the foaming and sloshing at every step.
  • the foam problem can be reduced by means of several product outlets connected in series without any loss in throughput, the sloshing problem cannot be reduced, but the former means that the filling elements and the length of the conveyor are considerably more complex. Similar problems also exist with other flowable products, such as flour, coffee, etc. When the product is filled into the container, the air to be displaced causes undesirable dust formation.
  • the tube section is formed on a rotating mandrel wheel and closed at one end (US Pat. No. 5,069,021).
  • the containers are transferred from the mandrel wheel into the cells of an endless conveyor rotating in a vertical plane.
  • the endless conveyor consists of a chain rotating over two wheels.
  • the product outlet is at the beginning of a straight, horizontal conveyor line.
  • the filled containers are lowered and then gradually transported linearly.
  • the disadvantage of this device is that because of its design as a continuous conveyor with straight conveying lines, it builds large volumes, that it does not have a high throughput due to the lifting of each container for the filling process, and that because of the gradual transport of the filled, still open containers on the linear one Transport route sloshing problems.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for filling folding box containers with liquid, which enables a high throughput without problems with filling and transportation with a compact, short design.
  • the endless conveyor is designed as a cellular wheel, at the upper vertex of which the product outlet for direct filling of the containers held in the cells of the cellular wheel is arranged, and in that each cell is arranged one behind the other in the direction of rotation of the cellular wheel has arranged cell walls, at least one of which is deliverable relative to the other.
  • the cell wall leading in the direction of rotation of the cell wheel can be advanced.
  • the filling device according to the invention has a compact design compared to a filling device with a straight-line transport.
  • the movement of the containers on a circle also has advantages with regard to the sloshing problem with flowable products, flour and in particular liquid, because after filling the container in the upper vertex of the cellular wheel, the wall of the container lagging in the direction of rotation of the cellular wheel is inclined. Experiments have shown that this not only reduces the slosh problems, but also favors ventilation and low-dust or low-foam filling.
  • leading and trailing cell walls which move and calibrate the container between them and move it relative to one another, the leading cell wall deforms the adjacent container wall. If the spacer element is designed accordingly, this leads mentes and the control curve to dampen the filling jet then striking the wall and to a low-dust or low-foam filling.
  • the cell wheel is preceded by a vertically arranged, step-by-step driven mandrel wheel with radially arranged mandrels with a rectangular cross-section, onto which the folding box containers that are still open at both ends and that form tubular sections can be plugged and a stationary fold on the circumference - And closing tools and optionally application tools for attaching a spout and / or closure are arranged, the transfer unit arranged upstream of the cellular wheel having a push element with which the folding box container closed at one end passes from the associated mandrel via a plate arranged next to a cell of the cellular wheel into the plate so that the aligned cell can be moved.
  • the transporter can have two similar cell wheels arranged in parallel next to one another, in the cells of which the incoming containers are alternately pushed by means of the transfer unit.
  • the mandrels are loaded at the lower apex of the mandrel wheel.
  • This configuration then results in a particularly compact design because both the loading of the mandrel wheel and the removal of the filled containers can take place in one plane, in particular at ground level.
  • the cellular wheel and / or the mandrel wheel is or are overhung.
  • the drive can be separated from the form, fold, seal and fill elements by a wall.
  • Fig. 1 enlarged view.
  • tube sections 2 for folding box containers 4 formed from blanks provided with folding grooves are arranged one behind the other as a stack.
  • the respective front hose section 2 is removed from the magazine 1 by means of a removal and unfolding unit 3 and is inserted from below onto a mandrel 5a with a rectangular cross section of a vertically arranged, gradually rotating mandrel wheel 5, on which several of the mandrels 5a are arranged radially.
  • a plurality of stationary tools 6 to 11 are arranged on the circumference of the mandrel wheel 5, by means of which the ends of the tube sections 2 which are open at the outside are folded from heat-sealable cardboard composite material, sealed to form a web seam and shaped flat.
  • a spout and / or closure can also be attached.
  • a step-by-step rotating twin cell wheel 12 is arranged as a conveyor, which consists of two identical single cell wheels 12a, 12b arranged at a mutual distance from one another. Aligned with a mandrel 5a located in a horizontal position and directed towards the cellular wheel 12, there is a space 12c in the form of a plate between the cellular wheels 12a, 12b, onto which the folding box container 4, which is closed on the head and is closed on the head side, is pushed and pushed by means of a push element 13 can be pushed laterally into one of the adjacent cells of the cellular wheel 12a, 12b by means of an element, not shown here, of the transfer unit comprising the thrust element 13.
  • Each individual cell wheel 12a, 12b has the structure shown in detail in FIG. 4. It consists of several cells, each of which is formed by a movable, cam-controlled wall 12a 'leading in the direction of rotation of the cell wheel and a trailing fixed wall 12a ". For the purpose of moving the wall 12a', it is pivotably mounted in a joint 14a and via a Lever arm 14b with a scanning element 14c connected to a stationary control cam 15.
  • wall 12a ' is deformed while deforming the adjacent wall of container 4, which is open on the outside or at the top. The pivoting serves to calibrate the volume of container 4 to hold it in place and dampen the incoming product jet.
  • various elements are arranged in a stationary manner, namely pre-folding tools 16, test and position correction elements 17 for the correct position of the container 4 in the cell, a product outlet 18 in the upper vertex, immediately behind them closing and sealing elements 19, elements 20 for Flip the web seam formed by the elements 19 on the container 4 and for unfolding the lateral ears on the container 4, elements 21 for applying hot melt for the lateral ears and elements 22 for applying the lateral ears.
  • both the mandrel wheel 5 and the cellular wheel 12 are overhung, so that on the one hand the drives are accommodated in a closed housing 25 behind a partition 25a and on the other hand the mandrel wheel 5 with its elements and arranged on the circumference the cellular wheel 12 with its circumferentially arranged elements is easily accessible to the maintenance personnel from the front of the device.
  • Fig. 1 in conjunction with Fig. 3 it can also be seen that advantageously both the loading of the mandrel wheel 5 with the hose sections 2 of the container 4 and the removal of the filled container 4 from the cells of the cellular wheel 12 in each case below the mandrel wheel 5 or Cellular wheel 12 takes place so that delivery and removal are at ground level.
  • the main advantage is that the problems with sloshing and foaming existing in linear transport are mastered because, due to the movement geometry of the cells, these are inclined after the containers have been filled, and in particular the cell wall 12a ' has a deforming effect on the adjacent container wall. Therefore the machine can be operated with high throughput.
  • Another advantage of the device is that, by using the cellular wheel, the container is filled over the bottom and dispensed with the head upwards. A turning station for the removal of the containers is therefore unnecessary.
