Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for packaging a good, in particular a good that has edges in which the good to be packaged is at least one, preferably two, foils is enclosed by at least one, preferably two, film roll (s) are fed; then wrapped the film (s) around the goods and welded and separated from the at least one film roll, so that a film envelope is formed around the goods to be packed, the at least one Has a weld seam and protrudes openly on at least one side of the goods to be packaged, after which the foil wrapper is shrunk by the application of heat.
  • foil handling systems For packaging household appliances such as washing machines or tumble dryers as well in systems for packaging box loads, sack loads and similar goods so-called "foil handling systems" are available. Enclose such film handling systems the goods to be packed or the cargo to be packed e.g. with two sheets, which are fed from vertical film rolls. The film (s) will be wrapped and welded vertically around the load and separated from the film rolls, with a foil envelope with one or two vertical welds around the Charge is formed, which is open upwards and downwards. This foil envelope will with a heating device, for example in a shrink frame, with column burners or in a heated oven essentially only on the edges with protective elements z. B. are made of polystyrene, shrunk onto the packaging.
  • the film envelopes are essentially packed at one station Well attached and then the material with the foil cover to another station transported where the heat treatment takes place.
  • the film envelope is open at least at one end, if not both ends is and survives compared to the goods to be packaged, the disadvantage arises that the protruding Turn pieces of film over and randomly and disorderly on the top Arrange or underside.
  • the result of this is that the shrinkage at the top of the load horizontal and vertical restoring forces in the film can cause the load to look unappealing after packaging.
  • foil sections turn outwards or in Accumulate corner or edge areas as this is when stacking packaging goods can cause them to skew and a larger stack packaging goods cannot be safely stored or transported. It is therefore extremely important for film handling systems, the shrinking process as precise as possible to be able to control and regulate.
  • the vertical restoring forces areshrinking process and the optical appearance u. a. depends on whether the foil edge is neatly arranged on or under the layer during or after shrinking and there despite the horizontal and vertical restoring forces caused by the shrinkage remains and is not pulled back over the edge area.
  • the invention aims to solve this problem and a method and an apparatus for packaging a good, in particular a good that has edges and corners has to create, which ensure a uniform appearance of packaged goods and the excessive formation of film folds and an uneven application of the film protrusions Avoid on the top and / or bottom of the goods.
  • An air jet is introduced into the open film piece centrally to the packaged goods. Since the The cross-section of the foil wrapper corresponds approximately to the cross-section of the goods to be packaged and, if necessary, the space between the bumper strips protecting the product is sealed from polystyrene or the like, the air jet from the top or Bottom of the goods to be deflected or redirected and along the surfaces of the Foil envelope derived. As a result, these film parts in the longitudinal direction of the extension of the foil envelope aligned or straightened and stretched, so that an irregular Place the foil edges on the top or bottom and thus the top described disadvantages can be avoided. This air flow can be heated so that Heat losses are avoided in the heating devices acting on the corners from the outside become.
  • the air flow thus causes the film edges or the film edge on all four sides is lifted vertically and straightened, while any corners - e.g. at a cuboid - at the same time slightly shrunk from the outside, causing the Place the film evenly over the cargo corners and and the film or its edges during / during / after the subsequent shrinking process on the load top or - stay bottom.
  • the application of this procedure or the appropriately equipped one Device enables the realization of particularly similar charges that are almost wrinkle-free are and have wide film edges.
  • the method according to the invention has the Advantage of easy controllability for the formation of uniform packaging, which allow easy stackability and also when stacking do not lie four to six batches of loads at an angle and tip over.
  • the at least one further air stream is expediently used to lift the film edges each fed through a tube, which is perpendicular and preferably centered is aligned with the open sides of the foil envelope.
  • the straightening or straightening of the protruding film pieces is carried out by means of a suction device which is attached to the outer or Developed inside or in the area of the film ends and ensures that the pieces of film are not arbitrary and disordered on the top or bottom of the Put the packaged goods down or be pressed on.
  • the suction power must be like this be dimensioned so that the film corners under the influence of the heating device on the upper or shrink the underside of the packaged goods.
  • the figure shows as a device for carrying out the packaging method according to the invention schematically an essential part of the invention of a film handling system 1, such as they are used for packaging household appliances such as washing machines or tumble dryers becomes.
  • the goods to be packaged 2 are made of two film rolls (not shown here) wrapped in two foils 3, 4.
  • a cutting device (also not shown here) enables the cutting Films 3, 4 from the film rolls, and a welding device enables welding the films in such a way that a film envelope 5 is formed around the goods 2 to be packaged, which in this case has two welds 6, 7 and on the top and bottom of the goods to be packaged 2 is open.
  • Four upper (and four further, possibly lower) heating devices 7, 7 '(fan) allow at the corners (in addition to the actual heating orshrinking device - e.g. an oven, a shrink column or a shrink frame) an additional heat supply at the upper and lower corners of the goods 2.
  • a device 8 in the manner of a tube for air supply centered over the top side of the goods 2 is from the direction of the upper side surface exposed before the shrinking process of the film envelope 5, a further air flow can be conducted into the interior of the film envelope 5.
  • Controlled shrinking of the corners of the packaged goods leads to the following reached: Since the film edges or the film edge on all neighboring pages slightly raised and straightening while shrinking the top corners at the same time, the film 3, 4 lies evenly and without folds over the cargo corners and the The film or its edges remain on during / after / after the subsequent shrinking the top of the load.
