Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for packaging hot melt adhesive, in particular pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive, in a film which is suitable for melting with the hot melt adhesive at the same time and has no surface tack in the range of normal storage temperatures, in particular at temperatures up to 50 ° C, a predetermined one Fills portion of the melted hot melt adhesive, interrupts the filling process so that a film area following the portion remains adhesive-free and repeats the filling process, and the film is sealed in the adhesive-free area.
  • hot melt adhesive in particular pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive
  • Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free adhesives that can wet material surfaces well in the heat and in the liquid state and adhere firmly to them after cooling and solidification. They usually consist of a mixture of substances that form the adhesive, the cohesive and the additive component. During manufacture, the components are melted together and then assembled. The so-called pressure sensitive hot-melt adhesives cause particular difficulties in packaging. H. Hot melt adhesives with permanent stickiness, which are still sticky even at room temperature.
  • a method of the type mentioned above is known from German published patent application DE 24 13 575 A1.
  • the movement of the hose is first stopped and the hose is welded by a transverse double seam and thus closed.
  • the forward movement of the hose is stopped again, on the one hand air is pressed into the hose to compensate for the water pressure acting on the hose and on the other hand a certain amount of hot melt adhesive is introduced via a lance until it is perpendicular hanging hose is filled to a level that is below the water level.
  • the tube is then welded again by means of a transverse double-crimped seam and thus closed.
  • an overlying double pinch seam is attached by welding, which forms the lower end of the following portion.
  • the hose then continues to run through the water bath, in which the hot-melt adhesive cools, and is finally separated into the individual portions by a cutter.
  • the hot melt adhesive which has been separated into individual portions, is stored at a temperature above the softening temperature, the weld seams protect the adhesive from flowing out of the film.
  • Such high storage temperatures occur again and again in practice, e.g. B. in hot summers on trucks or other uncooled storage, especially in subtropical or tropical areas. In these cases, temperatures up to 50 ° C and above are reached, so that the hot melt adhesive softens. Sealing the film by gluing with the hot melt adhesive is therefore not sufficient. Because if in such a case on the film z. B. is exerted by overlying packaging units, the adhesive opens and the adhesive flows out of the packaging, so that it is no longer usable on the one hand and on the other hand has a considerable cleaning effort.
  • a disadvantage in the known method mentioned above is the loss of time, which arises on the one hand from the frequent interruptions in the forward movement of the hose and on the other hand due to the interruption of the supply of adhesive during the welding, and the filling speed which is limited in this way.
  • a uniform, uninterrupted movement of the film or the film tube is not possible with the system shown in DE 24 13 575 A1.
  • the period of time required for welding cannot be shortened easily either, since a secure and complete closure requires a minimum time due to the thermal processes taking place during welding.
  • a secure and complete closure is necessary so that the still liquid hot melt adhesive of the portion just filled from WO 99/58403 " ⁇ ' PCT / EP99 / 03001
  • Another disadvantage of the known method is the risk that the hot melt adhesive welded into the film contains air bubbles or air gaps.
  • the air can be present within the adhesive mass or at the ends of the adhesive portions.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of achieving a considerably higher filling speed in the process of the type mentioned at the outset, the portions covered with film being protected against outflow at elevated storage temperatures.
  • the inclusion of air in the film packaging should be excluded.
  • the film is welded in the adhesive-free areas and also cut through there if necessary.
  • an increased filling speed can be achieved, because the welding only needs later, e.g. B. to be made only after cooling of the film tube filled with hot melt adhesive.
  • the filling of the hot-melt adhesive into the film tube or directly onto the film, as will be explained in more detail below, is only interrupted briefly in order to create the adhesive-free zone. There is nothing to increase the filling speed due to shorter cycle times WO 99/58403 " * " PCT / EP99 / 03001
  • the hot melt adhesive welded into the film contains air bubbles or air gaps, because any air that is present is squeezed out by the squeezing, the hot melt adhesive being simultaneously compressed.
  • the method according to the invention is suitable for the packaging of practically any type of hot-melt adhesive composition. It is particularly advantageous for hot melt adhesives with serious handling problems, e.g. B. for the above-mentioned, even at room temperature still tacky hot melt adhesives.
  • the packaging process of the invention can be applied to hot melt adhesives made from polymers and copolymers of synthetic resins, rubbers, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, acrylic, vinyl acetate, ethylene vinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol.

  • Liquid polybutene or polypropylene petroleum waxes such as paraffin and microcrystalline waxes, semi-liquid polyethylene, hydrogenated animal, fish and vegetable fats, mineral oil and synthetic waxes and hydrocarbon oils may be mentioned as examples of diluents.
  • the given portions are filled onto a band-shaped film and the band-shaped film containing the hot-melt adhesive portions is formed into a film tube, in particular by welding the longitudinal edges of the band-shaped film together.
  • Foil tube moves at a constant speed, but the filling of the hot melt adhesive is carried out discontinuously and intermittently.
  • a further improvement in the economy of the method according to the invention is achieved if the temperature of the melted hot-melt adhesive when filling the film or into the film tube is below the softening temperature of the film or the film tube.
  • subsequent cooling of the film or the hose with water is not necessary. It is also advantageous that, in this case, no measures are necessary to keep the hose area below the water surface exposed to the hydrostatic pressure.
  • the adhesive-free area should only be as long as is technically necessary for welding and cutting. In practice, it has proven to be advantageous if the adhesive-free area between the individual portions has a length of 2 to 20 mm, in particular of about 10 mm.
  • the squeezed area has a length of 2 to 20 mm, in particular of about 10 mm, at the ends of the individual portions.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'emballer des colles à fusion dans un film (3) apte à fondre simultanément avec la colle à fusion et ne présentant pas d'adhérence superficielle dans la plage des températures de stockage habituelles, notamment à des températures allant jusqu'à 50 °C. Selon ce procédé, on place dans le film une dose prédéfinie de la colle à fusion (1) fondue, on interrompt le processus de remplissage, de manière qu'une zone du film (8) demeure exempte de colle sur la portion et on reprend le processus de remplissage. On soude le film (3) dans la zone (8) exempte de colle. Selon l'invention, on produit un film tubulaire (3') rempli de portions de colle à fusion. Des zones (8) prévues entre les portions sont exemptes de colle sur l'ensemble de la largeur tubulaire. On ferme le film tubulaire (3') par écrasement de la colle à fusion aux extrémités des portions, puis on le fait éventuellement refroidir. Après l'opération d'écrasement, le film (3) est soudé dans les zones (8) exemptes de colle. On parvient à une vitesse de remplissage particulièrement élevée et les portions entourées par le film (3) sont à l'abri des risques d'écoulement à températures de stockage élevées. Tout risque d'inclusion d'air dans l'emballage pelliculaire est également exclu.
