Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing with a container with an imprint on its outer surface, in particular an aerosol can made of aluminum, which preferably before printing as a substantially cylindrical body with an essentially cylindrical outer surface is present, as well as a device therefor.
  • Today aerosol cans are usually made from one Metal round blanks, for example from an aluminum round blank, deep drawn. In this way it becomes a cylindrical body manufactured.
  • the container is only processed further after printing. For example, the edge of the container is then drawn in and crimped so that after filling the container or one A valve is placed on the inner edge of the container can be.
  • the present invention is based on the object Making a container cheaper and cheaper simplify and the container with an improved To be imprinted.
  • a film with Bumps are printed or depressions in them be introduced and then this film on the Shell surface of the container is applied.
  • the material for the film is also different, e.g. Plastic can be preferred, a film made of a Metal and especially aluminum with the / the Provide elevations or depressions.
  • Straight aluminum can be made in a very thin film so that hardly any application takes place on the surface of the can.
  • a film with a thickness of 0.12 to 0.20 is preferred mm used.
  • the aluminum foil also adapts to a later one Retraction of the opening edge of the surface of the container also in this area so that there are no wrinkles. However, it turned out that when moving in more moves need to be made. You can also print Aluminum with known printing processes excellent, so that pattern or the like on the film in excellent Quality can be made. The increases on the Foil are preferred in deep, offset, flexo, digital or screen printed.
  • a major advantage of the present invention lies in that the printed increases have a meaning can have.
  • the container with be provided with braille.
  • the film is preferably on the back Coated outer surface of the container. There is the coating of a varnish that adheres well the surface of the container. To this end the container is heated and before the film is applied preferably to a temperature of 120 ° to 180 ° C. As Varnishes come especially hot glue, quick glue, Thermal adhesive, thermal composite and thermal laminating varnishes in Consideration.
  • Another big advantage is that a additional printing station in the can production line is not required, making the whole Laminating line can be shortened by about a third. This also makes the investment costs significant reduced.
  • the present invention also includes an apparatus for Manufacture with an imprint on its outer surface provided container, in particular an aerosol can Aluminum, where to apply a film with a Imprint / impression on the container of a winding station provided and this a feed device for the Container is assigned. Any is Feeder conceivable.
  • a rotary star is preferred, the one Has a plurality of thorns on which the container are attached.
  • the rotary star is preferably clocked and to compensate for tolerances with a coating, e.g. made of rubber or polyrethane.
  • the winding station should have a heating zone at the rotating star be upstream in which the container to a desired Temperature to be heated.
  • the mandrels are preferred which the containers are attached, can be heated so that the containers are heated from the inside. This The temperature should be such that liability of the Foil on the surface over the heat seal layer is guaranteed.
  • the cycle time is also the time for warming up the containers enough.
  • a roller is preferably located in the winding station or pressure roller, which is used to apply the film on the Rolls off the jacket of the container.
  • This pressure roller is supposed to be pivotable so that the film on the surface of the Container can be placed. Only then will it Pressure roller placed on the film, which is on the Container surface.
  • the pressure roller is preferably driven and rotates on the Shell surface of the container with the film in between.
  • the Unrolling the pressure roller also causes the container is rotated so that the film on the container is wound up.
  • the pressure roller is in a preferred embodiment the invention upstream of a pair of rollers, between the Roll the film to the winding station. Between the pair of rollers and the pressure roller can still have a knife Cutting the film may be provided.
  • a vacuum roller in the winding station intended.
  • This can be designed as a vacuum roller, the inside of which is at least partially within a Vacuum segment is connected to a vacuum source.
  • the roll shell itself is perforated, so that Air is sucked into the interior of the vacuum roller. With This vacuum can make the film flat and smooth on the Vacuum roller held and fed to the container.
  • the application roller is preferably on its circumference several cross cutting knives, which with a fixed counter knife interact.
  • the distance between the cross cutting knives determines the Foil section length, the circumference of each Container must correspond.
  • the fixed counter knife cuts the film each time a Kline of the rotating drum passes the place of the counter knife.
  • the application cylinder should preferably be used as Expansion cylinder be formed. Again, there are many Possibilities conceivable by the present invention should be included.
  • the Application roller made of a jacket that is available in various Is divided. These segments can still over a flexible strip connected together like a bellows his. To widen this application roller, the Front cones axially inserted so that the Separate or bring segments closer together can.
  • winding station is a Mark reader and a web edge control is connected upstream.
  • the mark reader determines the length of the film, which is about a clock feed is fed to the winding station.
  • the film can marked according to the desired slide sections , taking care that the overlap the film after winding on the container so low as possible.
  • the containers to be imprinted / imprinted in a feed device is designed as a rotary star 1, fed on mandrels 2 to a winding station 3. there the containers 4 pass through a heating zone 5 on heatable Thorns 2, which is only indicated by an arrow.
  • the Drive of the rotary star 1 is clocked, so that the container 4, since they remain in the heating zone 5 for a relatively long time brought a relatively high temperature of 120 ° to 180 ° C. can be.
  • a pressure roller 6 in the winding station 3 which is pivotally arranged.
  • a swivel arm 7 is indicated by dash-dotted lines. Its other end is on an axis of a roller 8 of a pair of rollers, so that the pressure roller 6 can be lifted from the container 4.
  • the roller 8 interacts with a second roller 9. Also they move clocked. Take both rollers 8 and 9 between them a film web, which with the imprint or impression is provided. This film 11 is pre-marked and comes from a winding 10 and rotates around a pulley 12.1 before it reaches a splicing table 13.
  • the film 11 runs in a device 14 for web edge control.
  • the device runs around two more deflection rollers 12.3 and 12.4.
  • the film 11 now forms a compensating loop 17 in the a dancer roll 18 lies before another Deflection roller 12.5 runs up. Between this pulley 12.5 and the roller pair 8/9 is provided with a mark reader 19, which determines the feed rate for the film.
  • Containers especially aerosol cans, are continually being opened the heated mandrels 2 of the rotary star 1 at a loading point 20 abandoned. These mandrels 2 are in the heating zone 5 heated to the desired temperature. The warmed Containers then get into the winding station 3.
  • the compensating loop acts as a memory.
  • the film 11 becomes final for feeding prepared and aligned to the winding station.
  • the pressure roller 6 Before the beginning of the film is placed on the container, the pressure roller 6 is pivoted away. Then after the The beginning of the film rests on the container 4, the Pressure roller 6 pivoted into its position of use and the Clock feed 8/9 started. The powered Pressure roller 6 presses on the jacket of the container and rolls the film on the jacket, attaching the container to the Mandrel 2 also rotates.
  • the end of the piece of film is between a knife 21 Cut off pair of rollers 8/9 and pressure roller.
  • the rotating star 1 continues to rotate and the container 4 is in one Ejector area 22 removed from the mandrel 4 and into one Transfer transport container 23, with which he then to a next processing station.
  • FIG. 2 is another embodiment Winding station 3.1 shown.
  • the winding station 3.1 has one Vacuum roller 24 as an application roller whose Roller jacket 25 with openings, not shown is provided.
  • a partition is located inside the vacuum roller 24 26, which the inside of the vacuum roller 24 in one Vacuum segment 27 and a segment 28 divided, in which Normal pressure prevails.
  • the vacuum roller 24 is also the knife 21.1 Associated with cutting the slide.
  • Cross cutting knife 30 are provided to interact with the knife 21.1 can in the vacuum roller 24. This Cross cutting knives are slightly beyond the scope of the Vacuum roller 24 emerges and act when rotating with the Knife 21 together, the film at the desired Point is sheared or severed.
  • the knife 21.1 can also be tilted slightly.
  • a pressure roller 29 at the next cycle point provided which rolls the container on the mandrel 2, so that the film is pressed onto the container.
  • This configuration has the advantage that the film 11 is on the vacuum roller 24 in the area of the vacuum segment 27 smooth held and thus passed to the container 4.
  • the application roller should preferably be used as Expansion cylinder be formed, d. that is, this cylinder can grow or shrink in size. In this way the distance between the cross cutting blades 33 be regulated. The image of the printed film opposite the cross-cutting knives are regulated in this sense.
