Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the essentially germ-free packaging of flowable or pourable products, in particular foodstuffs or beverages, in a packaging material in the form of a packaging bag made of a film material with a filling opening which can be closed by a closure cap, and a packaging bag made of film material for use in such a method .
- EP-A-0 661 208 which discloses a method for producing a flexible packaging bag with a closure cap and filling it in a filling plant, it is pointed out that the known procedure for packaging products such as milk, cooking oil and the like. is suitable, but there is no mention of how sufficient stability can be ensured with such packaging, even if the packaging bags were manufactured in a largely sterile environment and the products were pre-treated in a sterilizing manner before filling.
- the aim of the invention is to create a method which meets the requirements of the food industry by allowing food and beverages to be stored in flexible packaging bags in an economical, environmentally compatible manner without significantly reducing the shelf life.
- the closure cap Providing a packaging bag in which the closure cap can be brought into a first and second sealing position relative to the filling opening, the closure cap being removable from the filling opening at least in the first position,
- the starting material is a fully sealed, e.g. Heat-sealed flexible packaging bag with a pouring insert permanently attached to it by welding, hereinafter referred to as a weld-in part, onto which a sealing cap can be fitted by bouncing to tightly close a filler opening defined by the weld-in part, which provides access to the inside of the bag.
- a preferred packaging bag suitable for the method according to the invention is described in more detail below.
- the packaging bag can, for example, have a holding volume between 0.3 and 5.0 liters, without this being a limitation of the invention.
- the empty, flat-lying packaging bag with the closure cap located in a first of two closing positions, both of which seal the filling opening, is initially, that is, in front of one subjected to further treatment in a bottling plant, a germicidal treatment, preferably with germicidal ⁇ radiation in an irradiation station, which can have a basically known structure and therefore need not be described in more detail.
- the germicidal treatment can be carried out by the manufacturer of the packaging bag or, if desired, immediately before the packaging bag is introduced into the filling system.
- the aim of the treatment is to put the inside of the packaging bag in a sterile or at least largely sterile state.
- the closure cap in the first closed position hermetically seals the inside of the packaging bag, the aseptic state is maintained for the further treatment of the packaging bag even if there should be a longer period of time, for example a few days to several months, between the germicidal and further treatment.
- a number of packaging bags pretreated as described above can be combined to form a transport package and is then inserted into a storage magazine of a filling system, an annular collar on the sealing part providing an abutment by means of which the packaging bag can be inserted into a rail-like receptacle of the filling system magazine with the welding part pointing upwards can be inserted by hand or in any other way.
- the packaging bags are successively transferred from the magazine of the filling system to a transport device, the ring collar being used to support the packaging bags during transport, in order to move the packaging bags one after the other along a multiplicity of stations in which the further treatment is carried out.
- the packaging bag pretreated in this way is then transported to a station, grasp the cap on the gripper and remove it from the weld-in part.
- the removed cap is led to a bypass transport path and temporarily stored there, in order to be placed on the packaging bag again later.
- the packaging bag with the cap removed takes it to a filling station where a product to be filled, e.g. a food or drink is introduced into the interior of the packaging bag via the filling opening exposed on the weld-in part.
- a product to be filled e.g. a food or drink
- an inert gas e.g. Nitrogen, or steam, introduced in a further station in order to expel residual air in the packaging bag and thereby counteract undesired oxidation or other aging of the filling.
- the closure cap is removed from the bypass transport path in a closing station by means of a gripping device and placed on the filled packaging bag again and fastened in such a way that the closure cap comes to rest in the second sealing position, in which it does not or only falls below the weld-in part considerable effort, if necessary, can be removed again by destroying the welded-in part.
- FIG. 1 in a fragmentary sectional view of a packaging bag after
- a bag base part of the packaging bag is provided with the reference number 1 and is only shown in fragments.
- the bag base part 1 can have any suitable outline configuration and can be made of any suitable germ-proof foil material, which can be a foil made of plastic or metal foil, eg aluminum foil, or a composite foil made of plastic and metal.
- the packaging bag is basically a substantially flat structure that can be printed with advertising information.
- a dimensionally stable insert or weld-in part 2 is inserted in a slot-shaped opening (not shown) of the bag base part 1 and is hermetically sealed to the bag base part 1 by welding.
- a tear-off tab 11 can be provided in order to fix the cover part 6 in the closed position shown in the drawing, so that the cover part 6 can only be moved from the closed to the open position (not shown) after the tear-off tab 11 has been torn off.
- a further sealing cone 10 can be provided on the closure cap, which sealingly engages in the inlet opening of the neck region 3 when the closure cap is in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 relative to the neck region 3.
- annular collar 13 protruding somewhat radially inwards is provided near its free end.
- the closure cap 5 can be positioned in two positions relative to the neck area 3, the passage passage 4 being sealed from the outside environment by the closure cap 5 in both positions.
- the two positions are due to the intervention of the cap-side ring collar 13 with first and second rear engagement areas on the neck area 3 of the welded part 2 defined.
- Each rear gripping cam 14 has a rear gripping surface pointing in the direction of the bag base part 1. As shown in FIG. 1, in the first position of the closure cap 5, the ring collar 13 on the cap side engages with the rear engagement surfaces of the rear engagement cams 14.
- a radially outwardly projecting rear gripping collar 15 is also provided, which is gripped under by the ring collar 13 on the cap side when the closure cap 5 is in the second position, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the interlocking relationship between the closure cap 5 and the neck region 3 in the first position is such that the closure cap 5 can be removed from the neck region 3 with little effort and without destruction by bringing the ring collar 13 on the cap side out of engagement with the rear gripping cams 14.
- a radially outwardly protruding ring collar 16 is also provided on the neck area 3, which serves as a holding means for transporting the packaging bag by means of a transport device in a filling system (not shown).
- the annular collar 16 can be continuous or interrupted. Instead of a collar, a plurality of lugs distributed over the circumference could also be provided as holding means.
