Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shipping package and a method for fabricating said package.
  • the fabric-based container body can also be fabricated by weaving it as, for example, a braided hose which is then cut and sewn to form the container.
  • the characterizing properties of the shipping package and method for its fabrication are disclosed in the enclosed claims.
  • the implementation according to the invention achieves above all a lightweight yet stiff structure featuring a weight rating in excess of 1000 kg.
  • the structure according to the invention is approx. 15...30 % lighter than a similarly rated shipping package made using conventional techniques.
  • the package according to the invention is uncomplicated and advantageous to fabricate.
  • the pallet of the shipping package is assembled from shaped plates and advantageously reinforced with support elements which are inserted in channels specially designed into the pallet.
  • the flexible intermediate bulk container forming a part of the shipping package is fabricated in a bag machine and its bottom essentially covers the upper surface of the pallet belonging to the shipping package, said flexi ⁇ ble container having a total volume of approx. 500...1500 1.
  • Said flexible container and the parts belonging to the trans ⁇ portation pallet are advantageously combined into the ship- ping package by stapling and/or gluing the parts together.
  • the essentials of the invention are that the package in entirely made of materials that can be processed in a pulper such as paper and cardboard, whereby the package can be either safely disposed of by biological degradation or by recycling of the package material in the package fabrication process.
  • the shipping package according to the invention offers particular benefits such as, for instance, compatibility with waste treatment processes in which the shipping package can be safely disposed of along with other waste.
  • the shipping package is advantageously usable for the transportation and storage of dry bulk material such as powdered or granulated products.
  • the integral pallet forms a lifting platform for the shipping package that simplifies the handling of the shipping package and thus facilitates the use of different types of lifting equipment such as a fork lift, pallet lift, etc.
  • Figure 1 shows an advantageous embodiment of the package according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows the cross section of the package according to the invention.
  • the shipping package shown in Fig. 1 comprises a pallet 2 and a flexible container 6.
  • the pallet 2 is advantageously formed from two shaped plates 3 and 4, complemented with support elements 5 for the reinforcement of the shipping package 1.
  • the bottom of the pallet 2 is produced by shaping the plate 3 so that channels 7 are formed for the insertion of the support elements 5, which also act as the feet of the shipping package 1.
  • the ends of the plate 3 are folded over the channel 7 to form a cover 11.
  • the plate 4 is folded to form the upper surface of the pallet 2 so that elevated walls 8 are formed to the upper surface of the pallet 2 for the purpose of supporting the flexible container 6 and, between the walls 8 is formed the top plane 10 of the pallet 2 to which plane the flexible container 6 is attached.
  • Figure 2 shows the cross section of the pallet 2 illustrating the manner in which the support elements 5 are inserted to the channels 7 of the pallet 2 (only the center channel 7 is shown in the diagram) .
  • the support elements 5 can be placed in desired order in the channels 7 either vertically or horizontally with respect to the shipping package 1, whereby the length of the support element 5 is determined by the manner of insertion.
