Definitions

  • the invention relates to a continuous process in which the containers with a superimposed self-rotation on a transport path and the decorations on a carrier path are moved at constant speeds and tangentially past a transfer location, where the decorations are successively transferred to the containers under pressure and heat ,
  • the invention further relates to a corresponding device, which consists of a drivable endless transport path with uniformly spaced, drivable and rotating receiving means for the containers, a drivable endless carrier path with uniformly spaced decorations and a contact area between the transport path and the carrier path designed as a transfer location exists, wherein means for exerting pressure and means for heating the decoration are arranged in the area of the transfer location.
  • Such methods and devices are used, inter alia, in the food and beverage industry for decorating containers made of paper, plastic, glass or metal.
  • the thermal transfer process is becoming more popular than others, for example the labeling process, for decorating containers in the manner mentioned at the beginning.
  • the decorative motif is printed on a carrier web by means of known printing technology in such a way that it is bonded to the carrier web by an adhesive with a lower adhesive force and is coated with another adhesive with a higher adhesive force.
  • a carrier web produced in this way is brought into contact with the containers to be decorated. Pressure and heat in this contact area detach the decor from the carrier web and connect it to the container at the same time. The heat is supplied via the container.
  • This method can therefore only be used for containers with a high heat capacity, for example glass bottles.
  • a continuous process and a device for this, in which the thermal transfer process can also be used in containers with low heat capacity, for example plastic containers, are described in DE 44 37 379.1.
  • the carrier web is separated into individual sections each bearing a print motif and transferred to heated order segments which are arranged at equal intervals on an order conveyor.
  • This order funding temporarily takes over the containers in such a way that a container is assigned to each order segment.
  • the decor is then transferred from the individual section to the container during transport.
  • this method requires a high level of equipment complexity.
  • DE 44 27 870.5 describes how to transport the freshly printed structures with the still moist printed image to a separate oven using a separate removal means. It is also part of the general state of the art to use an open flame in conjunction with a rotation of the container instead of the furnace. However, an open flame places very high demands on the device technology and, on top of that, does not permit use in plastic containers because of the risk of deformation.
  • the particular advantage of the invention lies in the extremely high peripheral speed of the containers. As is known, this speed results from the sum of the two speeds of the transport path and the carrier path, but in this case by an addition under the same sign.
  • the high peripheral speed enables a continuous process since the distances between the containers on the transport path and the distances between the decorations on the carrier path are now independent of one another. It is no longer necessary to cut into individual sections of the carrier web.
  • the minimal contact time also prevents temperature transfer from the carrier web into the container, which is particularly advantageous for plastic containers.
  • the two temperature-dependent layers of adhesive on the carrier web remain unaffected.
  • the heating time is based on the speed of the carrier web and if this regulation takes place automatically. This has a positive effect on the heat flow and thus on the quality of eds decor transfers.
  • the object of the invention is thereby device-side solved that the drive means for the transport track and the carrier web for opposing each other Directions of movement are designed and a guide element for the carrier web for the application of pressure and the Heat transfer is formed.
  • the guide element is thereby movable transversely to the direction of movement of the carrier web and biased and designed as a heating element.
  • a movable heating element is connected upstream of the guide element for the carrier web.
  • the contact area between the heating element and the carrier web can be varied continuously from zero to maximum.
  • the heating time can thus be adapted to the speed of the carrier web in an advantageous manner.
  • the convex design of the guide surface of the heating element increases the contact ability and improves the heat transfer. It is expedient to make the heating element pivotable.
  • This swivel arm has a deflection roller for the carrier web with which the contact surface of the radiator is changeable with the carrier web.
  • the heating element or the swivel arm can have its own actuator or can be driven by its own weight if appropriately suspended.
  • the corresponding regulation can take place automatically.
  • the movable heating element takes on the task of a preheater and the print head that of the actual one Heating element.
  • the device for decorating mainly consists of a transport device for the containers and a transport device for the decorations, both of which have a common interface for the transfer of the decorations to the containers.
  • Transport device for containers designed as a rotatable carousel 1.
  • Carousel 1 has a drive (not shown), an input station 2, an output station 3 and a transport path 4 for the containers 5.
  • receiving means 6 for the containers 5 to be decorated are arranged at equal intervals. These receiving means 6 are designed to rotate freely.
  • the transport device for the decorations consists of a carrier web 7, which is pulled by a drive, not shown, and corresponding guide elements for this carrier web 7.
  • the carrier web 7 is designed in a known manner and carries decorations arranged at equal intervals by means of an adhesive with less adhesive force. The surfaces of the decorations are covered with another adhesive with greater adhesive strength.
  • the guide elements consist of at least one deflection roller 8, a pivotable heating element 9 and a print head 10 which can be displaced in the direction of the container 5.
  • the pivotable heating element 9 has an outer guide surface 12, which is expediently convex and has an upper pivot point.
  • the heating element 9 can be pivoted about this pivot point by a drive of a conventional type in the direction transverse to the direction of movement of the carrier web 7. This results in a contact surface which is different in size and is dependent on the swivel angle, between the guide surface 12 and the carrier web 7.
  • the print head 10 also has an outer, preferably flat guide surface 11 and is driven in the direction of the carousel 1 by a prestressed compression spring or by another conventional drive system.
  • the transport path 4 for the packs 5 and the carrier path 7 for the decorations touch each other in the area of the print head 10, the movements of the transport path 4 and the carrier path 7 being opposite.
  • the carrier web 7 and the containers 5 and thus also with the freely rotatable receiving means 6.
  • a deflection roller 13 may be arranged in a special way Direction of movement of the carrier web 7 after the print head 10 .
  • a deflection roller 13 lies the Location of the deflection roller 13 outside the transport path 4 at a distance from the printhead 10 that is greater than the distance of the container 5, which makes it to contact the Carrier web 7 freed from the decor and the next container 5 is coming.
  • the guide element for the carrier web 7 consists of the print head 10 'and the heating element 9'. Both are fixed to each other.
  • the print head 10 ' has an outer guide surface 11', a mechanical presetting device 14 and a pneumatic drive 15.
  • the heating element 9 ' is equipped with an outer, convex guide surface 12' and has an operative connection with a swivel arm 16.
  • This swivel arm 16 is equipped on its head with a deflection roller 17 and with a spacer roller 18.
  • the swivel arm 16 also has a drive, not shown, with which the position of the deflection roller 17 relative to the heating element 9 'can be changed.
  • This position is set as a function of the speed of the carrier web 7 and determines the size of the contact area between the heating element 9 'and the carrier web 7.
  • the deflection roller 17 positions itself closer and at a fast speed further from the print head 10'.
  • the spacer roller 18 keeps the carrier web 7 away from the heating element 9 'in the region in front of the deflection roller 17.
  • the carrier web 7 ' shows the state when the roll with the carrier web 7 has run off.
  • the heating plate 19 can be equipped with a flat or with a concave heating surface 21, which should depend on whether the Transport direction of the container 5 describes a linear or a circular path. If, for example, the transport path 4 of the carousel 1 is also used for the heat treatment of the containers 5, a concave heating surface 21 is advantageous. With the correct choice of the shape of the heat surface 21, a specific heat treatment time can be defined over the length of the heat surface 21. As a drive for the rotation of the containers 5, the friction that occurs between the moving containers 5 and the stationary heating plate is preferably used again.
  • the containers 5 mainly consists of a nozzle head 22, a temperature-controlled hot air generator 23, a quantity-controlled bypass valve 24 and a temperature and quantity regulator 25.
  • the containers 5 are again on a linear or circular path. A separate drive is required for the rotation of the containers 5.
  • the setpoint of the temperature for the controller 20 or for the temperature and quantity controller 25 is taken into account to specify the material of the container 5.
  • container 5 made of plastic therefore require a special one Attention. To avoid undesirable deformations it may be appropriate to use container 5 made of plastic additionally with injected compressed air stabilize.
  • the operation of the device is explained with reference to FIG. 1.
  • the carousel 1 and the carrier web 7 are driven at desired but constant speeds.
  • the movements are oriented in opposite directions.
  • the containers 5 placed on the receiving means 6 by the input station 2 are transported on the transport path 4 in the direction of the print head 10.
  • the decorations heated on the heating element 9 to the necessary temperature on the carrier web 7 move in the opposite direction towards the print head 10.
  • the contact that occurs between each container 5 and the carrier web 7 in the region of the print head 10 results in the rotation of the container 5 that can freely rotate on the receiving means 6.
  • a peripheral speed of the size of the speed of the carrier web arises on the container 5 7 a.
  • the decor detaches from the carrier web and adheres to the container 5.
  • the containers 5 then pass through one of the heat treatment devices.
