Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of handling a temporary disturbance in a packaging machine, having a moving endless loop with carriers for packages, initially in the form of blanks supplied to the carriers at one portion of the loop and after certain packaging operation steps ejected from the carriers at another portion thereof for final processing.
- waste is not accepted. It is therefore the purpose of the present invention to propose a solution to minimize the amount of waste due to a temporary disturbance in for instance a final folding step or later such as in a sterilisation process.
- the ejection of packages from said carriers is interupted upon detection of such a temporary disturbance downstream of the endless loop, whereas the endless loop continues to move with the non-ejected packages in the carriers.
- Fig la a major part of a production line or loop 1 for forming, filling and sealing a package P for durable containment of its content is shown.
- a closed loop 1 of carriers 2 is shown.
- Arrows 3 show a direction of motion for said loop of carriers 2.
- the carriers 2 are adapted to carry the packages P during handling thereof in order to make the handling easier without damaging the packages P.
- a carrier 2 is shown as a perspective view. From this view it is obvious that the packages P are well protected while handled contained in the containers 2.
- Creased blanks 4 are at 5 consecutively fed to said carriers 2, which blanks 4 upon feed thereof are initially formed to fit into said carriers.
- the blanks 4 so fed are thereafter at 6 sealed at the bottom end in order to establish an initial package P, open at its top end.
- the carriers 2 with their packages P are tranferred with a chain conveyor 7, in turn driven by a chain 8 (both shown schematically), to reach a circular part C of said loop 1.
- Said circular part C of the loop 1 is provided with fillers (not shown), which are in co-motion with the loop of carriers 2 as is indicated as a dash-dot line.
- the carriers are filled at full speed of the loop under non-aseptic conditions.
- a second sealing of the top end of the package P is performed at 9, where the packages P are finally sealed after filling.
- an arrow 10 an ejection of a filled and sealed package P from its carrier for transfer to a final folding step is schematically shown.
- the pacckage P has in its position shown after the arrow 10 a pillow-like shape, which is a pre-requisite for obtaining a rectangular or almost rectangular shape thereof once it has been finally folded.
