Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a pack with a support body made of sheet material, which within a flat area several by deforming this material prepared recesses for receiving the packaged goods in particular of tablets, capsules and the like and the flat in this flat area with an aluminum sealing film is connected, with a piece as the carrier body an aluminum foil with a thickness in the range of 0.05 to 0.30 mm is used, which has plastic layers on both surface sides has, the aluminum content of the empty pack is more than 80 wt .-% and wherein the depressions in Support body by cold forming process using Matrices and male tools trained and at least on its concave side with a sealable plastic layer be provided.
  • the packs mentioned above are called push-through or Designated blister packs and generally consist of one Carrier body made of flat material, which is within a flat Area several produced by deformation of this material Wells for receiving the packaging goods, in particular from Has tablets, capsules and the like. And in this plane Area is connected flat with an aluminum sealing film.
  • the carrier body material consists of a Plastic film, e.g. from a PVC film with a thickness in the range from about 0.2 to 0.3 mm, in which the depressions are replaced by a Hot forming processes are made. This molding process are used in many technical fields.
  • EP-A2-0593 034 on the Field of automotive component manufacturing and to US-A-5,249,446 in the field of technical component production, namely the manufacture of heat exchangers pointed out.
  • the included Aluminum foil ensures the gas tightness while using it connected plastic films the carrier body an increased Giving strength and - as one assumes - in the cold forming process the appearance of elongation peaks in the Prevent aluminum foil that can tear them.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore the method of type mentioned above particularly energy-saving with simultaneous Compliance with the applicable disposal regulations.
  • this method is characterized in that into the cold forming process using die and Male tools with aluminum foils coated with plastics are used, their coating surface on the die side from a plastic layer in a thickness in the range from 0.0005 to 0.020 mm and their coating surface on the male side from a heat sealable plastic layer a thickness in the range 0.001 to 0.030 mm and that a coating surface of the aluminum foil on the die side static and measured according to British Standard (BS) 2782 dynamic coefficient of friction of at most 0.35 and / or that the coating surface of the aluminum foil on the male side have a maximum of 0.45.
  • BS British Standard
  • the carrier body 1 is produced from a cold-formable aluminum strip with a thickness in the range from 0.05 to 0.3 mm and a quality according to the Aluminum Association (AA) 8079 or 8008.
  • This aluminum strip is provided on the male side with a sealable plastic layer 2, in particular in the form of a heat seal lacquer, with a thickness of 0.001-0.030, preferably 0.003-0.012 mm, and has, for example, a protective lacquer layer (not shown) on the female side.
  • the amount of protective lacquer applied is, for example, 2 g / m 2 .
  • the cups 3 with the packaged goods, e.g. Tablets 4, filled and with an aluminum sealing film 5 a thickness of 0.01 - 0.04 mm (according to this example from 0.02 mm), which has a heat seal layer on its underside, preferably in the form of a heat seal lacquer coating 6, the a thickness of 0.003 - 0.020 mm (according to this example from 0.009 mm), on the undeformed areas of the carrier body material 7, as indicated by the arrows 8 in FIG. 3, connected by heat sealing.
  • the generated band-shaped composite already contained in the packaged goods to the Lines 9 perforated punctiform and the packs finally cut along its contour 10 by punching.
  • Fig. 1 in which the finished package with a well 3rd broken aluminum sealing film 5 is shown recognizes the area of the seal 11 (dotted). On the perforations along the lines 9, the pack can be in any Way.
  • the aluminum content of the empty pack (Carrier body plus sealing film) is in this example 94% by weight.
  • coated aluminum foil according to the invention is suitable advantageous as packaging material for push-through or Blister packs used in pharmacy and which can be easily disposed of as empty packs.
