Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling a packaging with tablet-shaped products, in particular detergent or cleaning agent tablets, and a corresponding packaging unit.
  • a disadvantage of the known method is that only a low packing density is achieved by the loose bed.
  • the packaging effort is very high in relation to the filling quantity.
  • Another major disadvantage is that when filling, transporting and storing loosely poured tablet-shaped products, they rub off heavily and can break off the edges of the compact.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a solution which significantly reduces packaging, transport and storage costs and prevents damage to the tablet-shaped products.
  • the tablet-shaped products are Pack are entered that tablet-shaped products arranged side by side or one above the other touch each other linearly on the surface of the cylinder.
  • This has the advantage that the tablets support themselves in an upright position and the flow of force is transmitted over the cylinder surface by an external load, for example stack pressure in the case of stacked packages. Due to the exact, uniform diameter of the compacts, all tablets can be carried in the packaging, the pressure load on each individual tablet is low. The line contact on the cylinder surface also largely eliminates disruptive product abrasion and edge breakage.
  • the tablet-shaped products are inserted into the packaging in at least one row and at least one layer.
  • This allows the packaging size to be varied.
  • the number of pressings arranged next to or on top of one another is arbitrary, preferably so many rows and layers are selected depending on the diameter and the height of the pressings that the packaging surrounding them has module-appropriate external dimensions. It has been shown that the orderly arrangement of the tablets significantly increases the packing density compared to the known loose fill is reached by about 50%, so that the amount of air packaged is significantly reduced.
  • the free surface of the tablets is further reduced, which further improves product protection.
  • the invention provides that at least one multi-row layer of tablet-shaped products lying close to one another and touching the cylinder surface in a linear manner is introduced into a packaging that tightly encloses the at least one layer.
  • a non-self-supporting packaging can also be used.
  • the tablet-shaped products held together by the outer packaging bear themselves.
  • the packaging outlay can be minimized as a result, only a slight outer covering of the tablet-shaped products is required.
  • the method according to the invention can, as is advantageously provided, be carried out in such a way that at least one tablet layer and row lying on the end face is pushed into an erected package with a pushing stamp over an open flap side, the package is glued and rotated by 90 ° is brought into the transport position.
  • a package, such as a longitudinally glued folding box blank, is first set up, the tablet-shaped products are pushed into the stable, lying position via the open flap side.
  • the flaps are then glued and the pack is brought into the transport position by rotating it by 90 °.
  • the tablet-shaped products are arranged such that a load acting on the packaging from the outside, for example stack pressure, is passed on via the cylinder surfaces and the tablets are carried in the packaging with or alone.
  • a flat, not yet folded-up blank of a package is covered with at least one tablet layer and then the at least one tablet layer is sealed and wrapped.
  • This encasing and gluing is also referred to as the so-called wrap-around process.
  • a flat, not yet folded blank of a package is first partially erected by gluing its top and / or bottom dust flaps in such a way that the largest opening area at the top then serves as a tablet receiving chamber, this then with at least one Tablet layer is loaded and the packaging is then subsequently sealed wrapping the at least one tablet layer.
  • the assembly can take place, for example, with a robot sowing plate.
  • the invention also provides a packaging unit with a packaging and tablet-shaped products arranged therein, in particular cylindrical washing or cleaning-agent tablets, in which the tablet-shaped products are arranged in the packaging according to the method according to the invention or one of the configurations.
  • a packaging unit contains the tablet-shaped products packaged according to the invention. Due to the precise fit of the packaging unit, which firmly encloses at least one tablet layer and row, a high level of product protection is achieved with minimized packaging, transport and storage costs.
  • the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows in
  • FIG. 1 shows an ordered tablet position surrounded by a packaging which is only partially shown, with linear contact of the cylinder surfaces in the transport position from a side view and
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of an orderly tablet layer lying on the end face with a push stamp for insertion into an erected, only partially shown package with an open flap side.
  • FIG. 1 shows only a multi-row layer of tablet-shaped products 2 and, in some areas, the narrow sides of a packaging 3 surrounding it in the transport position.
  • the tablet-shaped products 2 arranged in several rows touch on their cylinder surface 4 in a line-shaped manner in the areas 5, namely both side-by-side as well as tablet-shaped products 2 arranged one above the other.
  • a stack pressure 6 the flow of force is passed on and distributed over the cylinder surfaces 4 of the tablet-shaped products 2. In this way, the pressure load on each individual tablet-shaped product is low, and they themselves contribute, so that the packaging 3 itself cannot be designed to be load-bearing.
  • FIG. 1 An advantageous method for the orderly filling of a packaging 3 with tablet-shaped products 2 is shown in simplified form in FIG.
  • a further feed level 9 for example, a multi-row layer of tablet-shaped products 2 lying on the end face is fed and inserted into the correspondingly positioned packaging 3 by means of a slide stamp 10.
  • the packaging 3 is conveyed further on level 7 and, as is not shown in the drawing, glued and brought into the transport position shown in FIG. 1 by rotation by 90 ⁇ .
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. Further embodiments of the invention are possible without leaving the basic idea. For example, others can be entered into a packaging in the form of cylindrical, tablet-shaped products, it is also possible to choose other shapes, for example square, hexagonal or octagonal product tablets. In addition to a traditional box, any other suitable packaging can be selected as packaging. In order to meet the needs of the trade, the outer dimensions should be as modular as possible, which can be easily achieved by appropriately dimensioning the usable interior of the packaging of the product tablets. In order to make it easy to remove the tablets from the packaging, it makes sense to open the packaging over the largest area above, while the packaging unit lies on the opposite largest area in the position of use, which brings about the best possible stability.
  • the individual tablet-shaped products can each be packaged separately, for example by hermetically sealed paper or film wrapping.

Abstract

Un procédé de remplissage d'un emballage avec des produits sous forme de comprimés, notamment des produits de lavage ou de nettoyage sous forme de comprimés, doit permettre de réduire considérablement les dépenses de conditionnement, de transport et de stockage, tout en évitant que les produits sous forme de comprimés ne soient endommagés. A cet effet, les produits sous forme de comprimés (2) sont introduits de manière ordonnée dans l'emballage (3).
