Definitions

  • the present invention relates, on the one hand, to a method and, on the other hand, to a device for packing a product, such as one or more slices of a cheese or meat product, cake, biscuit, a filled bread roll, etc. in film.
  • a product such as one or more slices of a cheese or meat product, cake, biscuit, a filled bread roll, etc. in film.
  • NL-1,012,956 discloses a device in which two film rolls are employed.
  • the one film roll provides the film part on the bottom side of the packaging and the other roll the film part on the top side thereof. Close to a front edge of the strips emanating from the two film rolls, these strips are clamped together, the material to be packed is placed on the lowermost strip and then the whole is pulled beneath a sealing station by gripping of the front edges, lying one upon the other, of the two strips, after which two pressure members, a lowermost and an uppermost with the whole to be packed therebetween, are pressed one against the other and, under the influence of heat, a fusion weld is placed round about the product to be packed, which fusion weld joins together the lowermost and uppermost film parts.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and to provide an improved device for packing a product, such as one or more slices of a cheese or meat product, cake, biscuit, a filled bread roll, etc. in film material.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method by which packagings of variable dimensions can be easily produced.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a method which can be realized with a constructionally simple device, as well as to provide a constructionally simple device.
  • the drawing-through beneath the gripped leading edge can be realized, for example, with a moving pulling member, by, at the height of the gripped leading edge and from both sides of the film strip, sticking two pin-like members above the film strip and pulling these pin-like members together in the downstream direction through beneath the leading edge, whereupon two film strips, lying one over the other, are then formed, with a fold at the site of these pins, which fold will travel along the film strip as the pins move forwards.
  • the space required for such moving pins is scarcely more than the space required for the actual packaging.
  • the packaging is then closed in the sealing station, whilst the hollow pin(s) remain(s) inserted in the packaging so as then to close off the passage(s) for these pins following the vacuum-wrapping or gas-wrapping.
  • the method and device according to the invention it is also very easy to adapt the dimensions of the packaging to the dimensions of the product to be packed.
  • the film strip simply has to be fed a greater or lesser distance through beneath the gripped leading edge. Also added to this is the fact that, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the film strip, the dimensioning of the packaging, including in terms of the sealing station, is variable without any changing of components or alteration of the setting.
  • the sealing of the packaging is determined by the fold and in the upstream direction by the connecting part between the U-shaped hold-down members.
  • An additional advantage is also the position-correction of the product to be packed, when this product to be packed is placed on a tray to be jointly packed between the film or possibly on a special underlay sheet made of, for example, absorbent material or ordinary film material. If this tray or that underlay sheet is, namely, crookedly positioned and ends up at an angle to the fold travelling along the film strip as the film is fed through beneath the gripped leading edge, this fold will straighten the tray or the underlay sheet in the sense that the latter comes to bear with a longitudinal side against the fold.
  • the method further provides a step in which the lowermost film strip part is cut through along the leading edge of the uppermost film strip part or if, in the device according to the invention, cutting means are provided.
  • cutting-through and cutting means should here be interpreted in a broad sense.
  • the use of knives or knife-like members can herein be envisaged, but also the application of laser or some other kind of heat source in order to obtain a through-cut.
  • the method according to the invention and the device in which the method according to the invention is applied especially lend themselves to the cyclical packing of a large number of packagings.
  • a continuous conveyor which, for this purpose, is actuated at appropriate moments. It is also preferable according to the invention if, also on the downstream side of the gripping means or, at least, of the gripped leading edge, a second continuous conveyor is provided, which, for the purpose of transporting away an obtained packaging, can be driven separately from the first conveyor.
  • step e the film material, by the product to be packed lying thereon, is pressed onto the first and/or second continuous conveyor in such a way that the first and second continuous conveyor effect step e) on their own.
  • effect on their own is meant, in particular, that that portion of the film strip which lies on the first and/or second continuous conveyor does not continue to be gripped by rollers or other gripping members in order to advance the transport but is simply fed through by the underlying conveyors.
  • feed-through height at which the gripped leading edge lies or, at least, is held above the support surface should be at least equal to the pack height plus twice the thickness of the film strip. Since the thickness of the film strip in this connection is negligible and jamming has to be prevented, it will already be sufficient in practice if the feed-through height is approximately 1.5 ⁇ the pack height or greater, for example measures 2 ⁇ the pack height.
  • the device according to the invention is constructed for the purpose of being able to make the device operate fully automatically, this by means of suitable control means which, on the one hand, are actively connected to the operable components of the device according to the invention and, on the other hand, are set up to give, in the desired sequence, relevant control signals to these components.
  • suitable control means which, on the one hand, are actively connected to the operable components of the device according to the invention and, on the other hand, are set up to give, in the desired sequence, relevant control signals to these components.
  • the choice may be made to provide the device with an on-button which can be pressed by an operator to carry out a respective packing cycle.
  • the initiation of a packing cycle also itself to be automated.
  • sealing station use can here be made of many sealing techniques known from the prior art, including fusion-welding, pulsed current arc welding (a special embodiment of the so-called fusion welding, in which the hold-down members do not need to be permanently preheated), as well as of other sealing techniques. It is conceivable, for example, for the film strip, if pressed sufficiently firmly together, to effect a mutual seal by itself, for example through bonding agents or adhesives, or possibly mechanical interlocking means, provided for this purpose.
  • a device according to the invention is denoted by 1 in the figures.
  • This device comprises a roll station 2 containing a roll 3 of film material, in particular transparent, printed or non-printed, coloured or non-coloured film material, which, for unrolling, is supported on two rollers 4 which, for the purpose of the unrolling, can be driven or can rotate freely.
  • the film material might also possibly be non-transparent.
  • a strip 5 of film material is released, which, via a system of rollers 6 and 7 pressing one upon the other, of which at least one roller is drivable, is fed to a first conveyor 8 so as to lie on the top part thereof.
  • the first conveyor 8 extends between two end reversing rollers 6 and 11, the first of which, as already indicated, interacts with roller 7 in order to clamp the film strip 5 therebetween and, when the roller 6 or 7 is driven, to be able to unwind the said film strip from the roll 3.
  • gripping means 17 are provided for gripping the leading edge 50 of the film strip 5.
  • these gripping means 50 lie permanently at an elevation height H above the top part of the first conveyor 8.
  • first conveyor 8 In the extension of the first conveyor 8 there is a second conveyor 10, which extends between an upstream reversing roller 12 and a downstream reversing roller 13.
  • this second conveyor is movable to and fro, according to the arrow V, between a lowermost position shown in Figure 1 and an uppermost position shown in Figure 5.
  • Figure 1 appears to suggest that the top parts of the first 8 and second 10 conveyor are at a selfsame height, it should be noted that the top parts of the second conveyor 10 can also lie lower, in particular can be set lower, than the top part of the first conveyor 8. This is particularly of interest in respect of relatively taller products, such as bread rolls, in order to procure sufficient space to lay the film thereover.
  • the first conveyor 8 can be constructed as a conveyor or, if so desired, as a belt conveyor having belts placed at distances apart. With reference to Figure 2, it can be seen that in the shown illustrative embodiment the first conveyor 8 is constructed as a band conveyor. This could, however, very well be a belt conveyor, as is the case with the second conveyor 10 according to this illustrative embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 it can be seen that in the surface of the top part of the second conveyor 10 a U-shaped, lowermost pressure member 14 is fitted.
  • This U-frame 14 is the lowermost pressure member of a sealing device.
  • the belts 16 together tension the top surface of the second conveyor 10.
  • the U-frames close to the free ends of the legs, can also be closed by a respective closing part in order to obtain a rectangular U-frame and, upon the final packing, also by a rectangular stop seal round about the product.
  • the closing parts can possibly be adjustable along the legs of the U-frames.
  • the sides of the U-frames and the possible closing part will also, preferably, each be able to be switched individually on and off whenever this is required by a follow-on process.
  • the uppermost pressure member (not represented), which in shape and dimensions conforms to the lowermost pressure member 14 such that these members can lie precisely one upon the other so as mutually to seal two intervening film strips lying one upon the other.
  • This uppermost pressure member is accommodated in the unit 23.
  • the lowermost pressure member 14 and uppermost pressure member can be of a so-called heat seal type, possibly of the pulse seal type very well suited to meat products, specifically.
  • a strip 5 of film material is fed along a support surface 53, formed by the top part of the first conveyor 8, for receiving the product to be packed.
  • this product to be packed is denoted by 9 and 51.
  • 51 is a dish, a so-called tray, in which a meat or cheese product 9 is placed.
  • a meat or cheese product 9 this will especially originate from a slicing machine, such as is known extensively in the prior art and in widely differing types, or will be deposited manually.
  • the leading edge 50 of the strip of film material 5 is gripped by gripping means 17.
  • the tray 51, containing the meat or cheese product 9 stands on that portion of the film strip 5 lying over the support surface 53.
  • the height of this product 51, 9 to be packed is less than the height H at which the gripping means 17 hold the leading edge 50 above the support surface 53.
  • leading edge 50 will preferably be gripped first, before the product to be packed 9, 51 is deposited on the film strip. It might also be conceivable first to deposit the product to be packed 9, 51 on the film strip and only then to grip the leading edge 50.
  • the first conveyor 8 and, preferably, also the second conveyor 10 will be actuated for transportation in the downstream direction (from left to right in the figures).
  • the product to be packed 51, 9, placed on the film strip will hereupon keep the film strip 5 pressed on the first and second conveyors 8, 10.
  • An intermediate phase of feeding the packed product placed on the film strip through beneath the gripped leading edge 50 is shown in Figure 3.
  • a following phase, in which the product to be packed 9, 51 has been fed fully through beneath the gripped leading edge 51, is shown in Figure 4.
  • a fold, or at least a curve 20 is formed in the film strip, the position of which fold or curve, during the feed-through, continues to travel along/over the film strip.
  • That portion of the film strip 5 located above the second conveyor 10 is divided, for closer indication, into a lowermost film strip part 22 and an uppermost film strip part 21, mutually separated by the fold/curve 20.
  • the downstream side of the product to be packed comes into contact with the fold/curve 20 (at least, assuming that the product to be packed 9, 51 in Figure 1 is placed sufficiently close to the leading edge 50) and this fold/curve 20 will then be able to have a position-correcting effect upon the product to be packed, inasmuch as this fold/curve 20 can push the product to be packed to the right or even somewhat back (upstream).
  • the lowermost film strip part 22 and the uppermost film strip part 21 are mutually sealed.
  • this is done by moving the second conveyor 10 upwards, so that the product to be packed 9, 51 comes up against the pad 18, which will then press down the uppermost film strip part 21.
  • the lowermost pressure member 14, and the uppermost pressure member accommodated in the unit 23, will thereupon press the lowermost 22 and uppermost 21 film strip together and, under the influence of heat, fuse them together to form a U-shaped seal which connects to the fold 20 and thus, together with the fold 20, forms an all-round closed seal.
  • the film strip 5, during the phase shown in Figure 5 will be cut through by cutting means provided close to the gripping means 17, these cutting means (not shown) interacting with the gripping means 17 in such a way that the gripping means 17, as can be seen in Figure 6, will secure the new leading edge 50 acquired after the cutting.
  • the lowermost and uppermost pressure member will be moved apart again, in the present example the second conveyor 10 will be moved back downwards until this precisely connects to the first conveyor 8.
  • the second conveyor 10 can then subsequently be driven separately from the first conveyor 8 in order to transport away the acquired packaging 30, as represented in Figure 6, whilst a following product to be packed is deposited on the first conveyor 8, as indicated in Figure 6 by the vertical arrow.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show in a less diagrammatic form and in perspective view the previously described device according to the invention in the phases of Figures 1 and 4 respectively.
  • the previously described components are in this case all accommodated in and on a housing 40.
  • Figure 7 also indicates with dashed lines that on that housing 40 a further unit 41 can be placed, which, as likewise indicated diagrammatically by dashed lines, can lay out trays 50 on the support surface 53 by means of arms 43 and rams 42.
  • the hold-down roller 7 is represented on the bottom side of the first conveyor instead of on the top side of the first conveyor 8.
