Definitions

  • the present invention is related to the technical field of packaging processes for stand up containers made out of continuous tapes of flexible material.
  • kinematisms must also operate the mouth opening devices for the filling of the containers.
  • All these kinematisms must be adjust for the production change from a format to the other.
  • the horizontal machines present the problem of having a really short time available for the phase of intermittent dosing, thus limiting the system speed or demanding -this way raising costs and complexity- the employment of a bigger number of dosing devices.
  • foam productions represents a further problem.
  • the filling process of these plants is not aseptic because it is performed in touch with the surrounding atmosphere.
  • Vertical plants come in two different categories. In the first category the bags follow one another superposed, with the sides standing vertical. In the second category, instead, the bags follow one another with the sides laid horizontal. In the first category, to obtain a stand up bag complicated devices are needed, in order to make the support bottom flat.
  • the tape is wrapped around a forming vertical pipe through which the bags filling is performed.
  • the bags as described in these two patents especially in case of packaging of liquid substance, present considerable geometric flaws and an overall aesthetic quality worse than the one achieved in the packages obtained in the previously described horizontal plants. These flaws are due to the deformation that are produced during the filling process.
  • the solution as proposed in the present invention allows to obtain geometrically regular and aesthetically good packages by means of a simple, economic and not so cumbersome packaging process.
  • the packages produced through this process can be equipped with opening, dosing, closing and basically any other handling systems, easily insertable in the packaging process.
  • Figure 1 represents schematically the unwinding of a continuous tape and its folding in correspondence of the area that will constitute the bottom of the container.
  • Figure 2 represents the section of the folded tape.
  • Figure 3 represents part of the continuous open sleeve obtained out of the folded tape, being said sleeve transformed through a set of combined sealings into a sequence of sections that will constitute the containers.
  • Figure 4 shows a filling device (7), inserted in the still open sleeve before the longitudinal (8) and transversal sealings (5') are made. On the upper side of the section (9) it can be observed the presence of a passage (11) to allow the introduction of the product in the already preformed and defined stand up container.
  • Figure 5 shows a section with the lower side already closed and with the product on the inside of it. It can be noticed that the sealing (5') is correspondent to the sealing (5) and the passage (11) results of smaller dimensions.
  • Figure 6 shows a container sealed and removed from the sleeve.
  • FIG. 7 shows the sealing phase (12) of the passage (11). It is worth to point out the simplicity of this operation, that occurs between uniform thicknesses of flexible materials.
  • Figure 8 represents a variation that entails several sealings (16), performed in correspondence of the folding of the continuous sleeve, to preform the bottom of the containers.
  • Figure 9 represents schematically the unwinding of a continuous ribbon and its folding in correspondence of the zones that will constitute the bottom of the two opposite containers.
  • Figure 10 is the sectioij of the folded ribbon as showed in figure 9.
  • Figure 11 shows a plurality of foldings (a soffietto) performed on a single tape of flexible material. It can be noticed that the packaging process as here described can bo applied to each single sleeve (2).
  • Figure 12 shows the simplicity of application of subsidiary devices ( 15) to the package.
  • Figure 13 shows a tape roll of flexible material already set for the packaging of stand up containers, with the characteristics as highlighted in figure 3.
  • 1 is the tape of flexible material.
  • 5 indicates a sequence of sealings performed on the sleeve in the folding area.
  • 5' indicates corresponding sealings performed in the zone opposite to the folding.
  • 12 indicates the sealing of the passage (11) on the upper side of the section. 12' indicates the sealing on the lower side of the container.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'emballage de récipients à maintien vertical. Une gaine (2), obtenue grâce aux plis (formant un soufflet) (4) d'un ruban flexible (1), est divisée en plusieurs fermetures étanches (5, 6), formant un ensemble de sections (9) permettant le remplissage dudit récipient. Ce remplissage s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un passage supérieur (11), grâce à un dispositif d'alimentation (7) inséré à l'intérieur de ladite gaine avant de fermer de manière étanche ledit récipient, dans le sens de la longueur (8).
