Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of printing inks. More particularly, it refers to a temporary container or container which can contain a predetermined quantity of ink, this container being transportable and disposable and the materials of which can be destroyed or recovered, respectively.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a temporary packaging for the transport of printing inks, in particular but not exclusively, intaglio inks, which eliminates all the disadvantages listed above.
  • This object is achieved by the temporary container according to the invention which is defined in independent claim 1, special executions which are the subject of the dependent claims.
  • a method of filling the container is defined in claim 7.
  • the container of the invention consists of two parts, namely an outer packaging and an inner packaging.
  • the inner packaging is flexible, preferably hermetically sealed and impermeable to gases and light, and made from a sheet of synthetic material.
  • the outer packaging supports the weight of the ink that is contained in the inner packaging; it is a straight prism, that is to say a solid body (which is naturally hollow to form the container) having two equal and parallel polygonal bases, the lateral edges of the body being perpendicular to the bases.
  • the bases can be square, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal etc .; for the reasons which will be explained below, an octagonal base with equal angles is preferred, the opposite sides of which have the same length; they are not necessarily regular octagons; on the contrary, a certain non-regular form of the octagon is preferred, which will be described below.
  • the outer packaging is preferably made of cardboard, especially corrugated cardboard, although any other solid and resistant material can be used, for example reinforced plastics, such as those made from plastic waste.
  • This outer packaging contains the inner packaging which is preferably a tube made of a flexible composite sheet, closed by folding and heat sealing and, once filled with printing ink, closed in the same way at the top, but this time under vacuum.
  • the composite sheet preferably comprises a layer of polyethylene or any other polyolefin inside, coming into contact with the ink, this layer naturally having to be inert with respect to the ink. Then, this inner layer is covered with a sheet impermeable to gases, in particular to oxygen and water vapor, to light and, all the more so, to all liquids.
  • this layer metals such as aluminum are used for this layer, but it is in principle also possible to use highly pigmented plastics, for example carbon black.
  • an outer layer was provided in this composite sheet; this outer layer protects the aluminum foil and is made of polyester or any other flexible and resistant material such as polyurethanes. If protection against light is not necessary, the intermediate layer described can be omitted.
  • the internal layer has a thickness of between 70 and 100 ⁇ m, the intermediate layer, preferably of aluminum, between 9 and 12 ⁇ m, and the outer layer between 8 and 15 ⁇ m.
  • the outer packaging has a polygonal section.
  • An object of the present invention was to create a packaging which takes up the least space on a well-known transport pallet and is used all over the world, especially in Europe where its dimensions are standardized; these pallets have a loading surface of 80 cm by 120 cm.
  • This aim which has just been defined must however take into consideration the fact that an inner packaging, normally of circular section, must be placed in the outer packaging.
  • space on a pallet is best used by square packaging; but in these square packages, a circular bag is difficult to insert, and despite its flexibility, it adapts very little to the interior walls of the package which may also burst because it contains empty volumes, not occupied by the bag containing the ink.
  • an outer packaging circular section so a drum, would be best suited to the bag that forms the inner packaging but a lot of space would be lost not only on pallets but also in warehouses.
  • an octagonal prism shape has many advantages although any other polygonal shape is also usable.
  • the octagonal shape is a good compromise between the circular shape and the square shape.
  • a regular octagon but, in order to better use the space on a pallet, we have found that a special octagon is particularly advantageous; it is a square whose angles are cut in such a way that the new edges thus formed are shorter than the remaining sides which come from the primitive square. In other words, two orthogonal pairs of edges of a regular octagon were pushed outward.
  • the ratio between the first and second sides should be between 2: 1 and 5: 1, preferably between 2: 1 and 3: 1, and more preferably still amounts to about 2.4: 1.
  • x is between approximately 0.21 and 0.11, and Q between approximately 0.088 and 0.024.
  • the container To fill the container according to the invention, it is first possible to place the inner packaging, closed at the bottom by heat-sealing or heat-sealing, in the outer packaging and then fill the container. Then, the inner packaging is closed in the same way, this time under vacuum, and the outer packaging is also closed by folding and sticking the closure tabs. But you can also fill and close the inner packaging first and then slide it in, using a short conical tube with an appropriate diameter, in the outer packaging.
  • the emptying is done by a suction pump comprising a thrust plate and the action of a reciprocating piston; this device is known.
  • the bag is removed from its carton by tearing the carton using a tab provided for this purpose in the lower half of the carton, and the bag is placed in a solid cylindrical container of stainless steel, specially studied and having a corresponding internal diameter the diameter of the bag.
  • the pump plate comes to rest on the bag from the top and forces it to press against the wall of the container, and then the piston begins its action of extraction of the ink by suction.
  • the bag gradually crashes. At the end, it is collected from the bottom of the container in the form of a thin cake containing another 250 g to 500 g of ink.
  • the cardboard is opened in the same way, by prepared tearing of the cardboard and the bag is placed in a solid cylindrical container specifically studied, having a central circular hole at the bottom and a circular disc pierced with a circular hole also , but of smaller diameter over it.
  • the container with the bag in it is put on a press, then the bag is drilled at the bottom through the hole in the disc. Then the press plate exerts a strong pressure on the bag and pushes the ink to come out from the bottom and fall into a tank placed below the hurry.
  • the circular hole of the disc which is smaller than that of the container ensures that the container does not get dirty.
  • the body 10 of the outer packaging of the container according to the invention is made of corrugated cardboard and made in a known manner from a flat pattern. The pattern is folded and then glued along the edge 12. The tear-off tab 14 ends in this edge 12. Upwards, the packaging is closed by four glued flaps of which only the two upper flaps 16, 18 are seen.
  • the corrugated cardboard packaging 10 has tabs 20 forming, when pushed in, gripping openings, the tabs being stamped in the carton and partially perforated so that they remain attached to the body 10.
  • Fig. 2 shows the inner packaging 24, namely a bag made of a composite sheet as described above.
  • the bag can be an extruded tube or pipe with circular section; in the present example, it is obtained by gluing two lengths of superimposed composite sheet along their edges, and it is closed at the top by laying the tube flat and gluing the sheet together, thus forming a closure strip 26.
  • the bag 24 is still standing in the torn lower part 22 of the outer packaging 10.
  • fig. 3 which is a schematic view from above of the container according to the present example, shows the original (fictitious) square 30 which served as the basis for drawing the octagon 32.
  • This octagon comprises two pairs of long edges 34a, 34b , opposite by the center, and two pairs of short edges 36a, 36b, also opposite by the center.
  • the linear dimension 38 is that which determines the size of the container, for example on a pallet
  • the linear dimension 40 is the distance from the opposite short edges 36a, 36b which determines the capacity of the inner packaging 24.
  • the latter is symbolized by the dotted outline 42. It can be seen that the inner packaging adapts well to the internal walls of the outer packaging.
  • the wafer that forms after emptying the bag and crushing it can be subjected to ink and aluminum recovery treatments at least.
  • the outer packaging 10 can be burnt without leaving harmful or otherwise dangerous residues, for example in waste incineration plants. It can also be recycled.
  • the invention has the additional advantage that the new temporary container is non-polluting and respects the environment.
  • This container is advantageously applicable for units for making ink from 10 kg to 100 kg, and more specifically for conventional 25 kg units.
  • the container is filled so that no air pocket forms between the ink and the wall of the bag. Because it is known that inks based on vegetable oil form a skin in contact with oxygen in the air. Air pockets are prevented by a mechanical filling method, automatically controlled by a computer, which maintains an almost constant distance, throughout the operation, between the ink surface and the filling nozzle.
  • intaglio printing inks for which the packages according to the invention have been specially designed, have a high viscosity, for example more than 3 Pa s at 40 ° C, and often more than 7 Pa s . Therefore, these inks cannot be poured as liquids and only fill a space such as packaging very slowly, which is unacceptable for an industrial process. This problem is also solved by this mechanical filling method.
  • a preferred installation for implementing this filling process according to FIGS. 4 and 5 essentially consists of a support 51 for the packaging 50 and a nozzle 53.
  • a valve 54 provided inside with movable blades 56.
  • the blades 56 serve to close the orifice 55 and shown in the open state.
  • the ink 57 flows under pressure through the nozzle 53 and is added to the ink 58 already arrived in the packaging 50.
  • the distance between the orifice 55 and the surface of the ink 58 in the package 50 is kept constant throughout the filling. Likewise, a flat, that is to say minimal, surface of ink 58 is obtained, as well as close contact with the bag 24 and the outer packaging 10.
  • the bag 24 is sealed under vacuum.
  • the best way is to heat-seal the bag. A good quality seal is only obtained if the surfaces of the bag remain free of traces of ink.
  • suitable methods and equipment have been developed. It is well known that inks based on resin and vegetable oils easily form threads which soil the tools and equipment used to handle them.
  • the valve 54 includes a closing mechanism adapted and equipped with a very effective wire cutter which ensures that the bag is not stained with ink upon arrival and departure from its filling position under the nozzle. , along a filling chain. According to fig. 4, the orifice 55 is closed by inserting the blades 56. In other words, the valve 54 cuts the wire in the manner of a sphincter which widens to allow a fluid to pass and which closes when the flow is stopped.
  • the vacuum has been designed to be very fast. By this speed, the ink which could flow under the effect of atmospheric pressure and be placed in the area of the bag which must be welded, does not have time to move before a sufficient vacuum of air n 'has been obtained and soldering has been carried out.
  • Fig. 5 shows the condition fulfilled and evacuated the packaging after the air has been rapidly sucked in via the vacuum duct 60. Since the ink has not deformed due to its viscosity, the inner bag 24 of the packaging matches the almost solid ink mass 58. Above the ink 58, the bag closed well under atmospheric pressure and thus formed the probing zone 62.
