Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for the continuous filling of a predetermined amount of a product, in particular a beverage or food, in packs preferably made of a roll, in particular cardboard-plastic composite material.
  • the individual layers are laminated to a composite material, which is then printed and separated. After appropriate pre-folding, grooving, embossing and applying the longitudinal seam then the tube sections, so-called "packing coats", laid flat in outer cartons, the actual bottling provided.
  • packing coats laid flat in outer cartons, the actual bottling provided.
  • the rolls are shaped, cut, filled and sealed in a filling plant.
  • the final product is a package filled with the corresponding product.
  • packages with faulty inner surfaces are brought to the market, because after the closure of the package, the errors are not recognized by the mostly non-destructive quality tests.
  • packs with faulty outer surfaces or faulty pressure reach the end user, because these packs are usually palletized immediately after leaving the filling machine in sales trays.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object at the outset and described in more detail above method and the corresponding device and further educate, that defects in the composite material and / or defects of the filled packages are recognized and the corresponding rejects from the production process is disposed of.
  • this object is achieved in that a central controller collects information data about the manufacturing process of the packaging material, the integrity of the packaging jacket and / or the open package and the filling process before, during and after filling via a plurality of interfaces and thus influences the production process in that defective or damaged packages are not filled and that unfilled or filled but leaky or damaged packages are removed from the current production process.
  • the object of the invention is that the device for carrying out the method has a central control, a plurality of detectors for collecting data for the central control and at least one discharge device for the discharge of unfilled or filled, but leaky or damaged packages.
  • the liquid valves are individually switchable by a common control device.
  • the machine is further provided with an input device in which the bottles are individually separated and transferred synchronously to the machine cycle from a feeding conveyor to the machine, and with an output device, which is followed directly or with the interposition of sealing and / or labeling a final control device , Mistake.
  • the final inspection device checks the bottles for underfilling and possibly removes them from the bottle stream.
  • this machine has an input control device, which checks the bottles for errors in the area of the input device and, when a fault is detected, a signal to keep the liquid valve closed during the following Circulation of the bottle recognized as defective is assigned to the control device.
  • the input control device consists in the embodiment shown in the drawing of three video cameras that generate the shutdown signal via image recognition devices for error detection.
  • the final control device which then checks the bottles for being underfilled, has a video camera and an ejection device in the exemplary embodiment shown. The bottles are thus checked before and after the filling process.
  • EP 0 378 052 A1 a packaging device according to the preamble of claim 6, which has a bag-forming machine and is used to produce bags to be filled with bulk material from a wrapping material strip, which is fed via an input device of the bag-forming machine.
  • the input device has a control device for detecting defects in the wrapping material and deflection means, which fall in a Einschlagmaterialbandminus the beginning of an incoming band section in a separation container.
  • WO 98/05558 describes a method and apparatus for detecting design errors in a package made from a two-dimensional blank. Sections of the packaging have areas with contrasting colors, which are optically scanned. The scan results are fed to an electronic knockout unit for comparison with stored parameters. If the sampling results do not match the stored parameters, the packaging in question is considered defective.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawing relates to the control of a package for containing yogurt cups.
  • the solution according to the invention is therefore based on the knowledge that data information from a wide variety of surface controls and other control systems is uniformly recorded and processed by a central control. According to the invention it has been achieved that defective packages are sorted out and removed there, where it is in
  • the lowest cost is related to the entire manufacturing and filling process.
  • information about the filling level or the weight of the filled pack, the quality of the sealed seam or sealing seams and the outer state of the finished pack as well as possibly other production-related parameters are collected.
  • the method according to the invention and the device according to the invention can be applied to existing filling plants with little retooling work.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that, via a process detection software, the data recorded in the central control can be evaluated for the production of an exact cost accounting for the packaging material manufacturer.
  • costs can be saved at the bottler by this only has to pay the material for proper packaging and the cost of the Committee (and possibly the entire device according to the invention) the packaging material manufacturer invoices. Due to the packaging manufacturer's loss of quality control-related savings, the total cost of the manufacturing process by the inventive solution are lower than in conventional processes.
  • For the detection of the defects in the packaging material can be optical, electrical / electronic or mechanical detectors and weighing devices or the like.
  • the discharge device provided at the end of the production process can also be provided with means for sorted discharge, such as, for example, a double diverter, in order to not only reject rejects in addition to the product line of perfect products, but also to reject inferior goods separately.
  • means for sorted discharge such as, for example, a double diverter
  • Fig. 1 the device according to the invention is shown schematically.
  • the device initially and essentially a roll 1 for storing the web-shaped packaging material and a filling plant 2, in which the packages formed from the web-shaped packaging material are filled with a product 3.
  • ready-filled packages 4 leave the device.
  • the device now also has a central control 5, a surface control system 6 for material and / or printing errors and a plurality of detectors for collecting data for the central control 5.
  • a weighing device 7 is provided for checking the filling weight.
  • the above-mentioned detectors for collecting data are connected to the central controller 5 via a plurality of interfaces. These are in detail an interface 9 for the external packaging material production, an interface 10, 11 for surface control system, an interface 12 to the bottling plant, an interface 13 for weighing control, an interface 14 to the discharge device and an interface 15 for production detection software.
  • the surfaces of the packaging material can be coated, laminated, printed, stamped, perforated, untreated or refined by another method.
  • the surface control system is specially adapted to the type of packaging material to be processed.
  • the data determined there are transmitted via the assigned interfaces 10, 11 to the central controller 5. In this case, information about detected surface defects or printing errors is detected.
  • the errors can be divided into different error classes.
  • the central control 5 receives information from the production process of the packaging material roll production.
  • This data information can be transmitted via data carriers, for example floppy disks, online to the central controller 5.
  • the surface control systems are expediently coordinated with the packaging material manufacturer and the bottling plant operator or even by the same manufacturer.
  • the data collected via the interface 9 for the external production of packaging material is compared with the information from the surface control system.
  • the central controller 5 receives further data information from the interface 12 to the bottling plant, in which case the data information includes, for example, defective bottling products, bottling difficulties, machine speed and other process information.
  • the central controller 5 receives further data information from the interface 13 for weighing control. There, the bottled products and packs are weighed and compared with a setpoint. If the nominal value with the permitted deviations is not reached, the central controller 5 again receives corresponding data information.
  • Further detectors may be arranged behind the filling 12 metal search control systems or other control systems, which can also be integrated into the central control 5. In the central controller 5, all data information is processed and compared with predetermined setpoints and error classes. All data takes into account the machine speed of the entire device. The central controller 5 then divides the errors detected from the different detectors into at least the categories a) perfect packs 4, b) inferior packs 4 'and c) broke 4 ".
  • the discharge device 8 which is embodied in the illustrated preferred embodiment as a "double switch", is controlled by the central controller 5.
  • the central control 5 sends, in addition to the signal to the discharge device 8, a further signal to the control of the filling installation 2 in order to prevent it from coming off Dosing station shown to stop the supply of the product to be filled.
  • the faulty packaging is therefore not filled, sealed and transported empty and discharged in the discharge device 8.
  • the number of discharged packages 4, 4 ', 4''with the associated error classes are communicated by the central controller 5 via the interface 15 to the production registration software, the possibly existing production data acquisition system or another accounting system. Based on this data information, an exact cost accounting for the packaging material manufacturer can now be created.
  • the packaging material manufacturer therefore no longer has to remove his production errors in a costly and expensive manner.
  • the error data are passed on to the bottler and are sorted out during the actual filling. In this way, the filling operation can save the packaging material manufacturer a considerable effort.
  • the cost of filling-side removal of production errors are usually much lower than a corresponding quality control in the Packaging material manufacturer.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • a separation unit 16 and an impression unit 17 are arranged in front of the actual filling installation 2.
  • These can in turn also be provided with further detectors so that faulty blanks or faulty empty packs are discharged in additionally arranged discharge devices 8 ', 8 ".
  • the corresponding detected data are transmitted via the central control 5 to the associated interfaces 14' and 14" to the attachment devices 8 'and 8''passed. In this way it is possible to fill each, the filling line 2 reaching pack with the product to be filled 3.
