Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sealed wrappers (so-called “hermetic" wrappers) for foodstuffs, such as for example confectionery products.
  • the invention relates to a wrapping according to the preamble of claim 1, which is known, e.g. frame US-A-2002/0184857.
  • a somewhat similar arrangement is known from WO-A-03/035479 and, to some extent, US-A-5 722 215.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a wrapping capable of combining, with extreme structural simplicity, and consequently with extreme simplicity and economy of fabrication, excellent sealing qualities (hermetic sealing).
  • the above purpose is achieved thanks to a wrapping having the further characteristics referred to in claim 1.
  • the invention also regards the corresponding process of fabrication, as well as the corresponding plant, as called for in claims 9 and 17, respectively.
  • the solution according to the invention is characterized in that it gives rise to a wrapping that comprises a single sheet element closed by a single welding or sealing line.
  • a sealed wrapping for foodstuffs which comprises:
  • wrapping sheet is here understood to indicate any sheet material capable of isolating the product in an effective way from the external environment.
  • path which "surrounds" the foodstuff product is here understood to indicate a path which extends around the product (a path preferably having a generally arched, i.e., C-shaped pattern), usually privileging quite a tight relationship of wrapping, thus guaranteeing a wrapping of the product that is as adherent as possible, this being a result that can be favoured by possible actions of smoothing, brushing or other operations.
  • the exemplary embodiment illustrated in what follows relates to the production of a wrapping for a foodstuff product 1 consisting, for example, of a confectionery product, such as a chocolate, a sweet, a praline, etc. of various shapes.
  • a foodstuff product 1 consisting, for example, of a confectionery product, such as a chocolate, a sweet, a praline, etc. of various shapes.
  • this may be a product provided with a coating, such as for example a coating of ground hazelnuts, grated coconut, grated meringues, etc.
  • the product 1 is designed to be wrapped in a wrapping constituted by a single sheet element 2 of a laminar wrapping material of the type widely used for the wrapping of confectionery products.
  • the material in question may be a "combined" material, i.e., a material which comprises at least one first layer, designed to constitute the outer part in the finished wrapping, and a second layer, designed to constitute the inner part in the finished wrapping, and which presents, for example, characteristics of heat-sealability.
  • a typical example of combined material of this nature is a material consisting of an outer foil made of aluminium coated on the internal surface with a plastic material, such as polyethylene.
  • the said individual element of wrapping may in fact be defined by a portion or length of a continuous sheet material, which is reeled off a reel and subjected to segmentation so as to form individual elements of wrapping.
  • the said product is represented in the form of a body having a parallelepipedal shape; however, it will be understood that the product 1 may be of any shape.
  • the element of sheet material 2 is wrapped around the product 1 so as to form:
  • the sheet of wrapping is wrapped around the product 1 in such a way as to form a sort of pocket or envelope in which the lateral branches 21 conserve a substantially plane orientation, whatever the shape of the product 1.
  • the two lateral branches 21 are substantially parallel to one another, separated by a distance substantially corresponding to the thickness or height of the product 1.
  • the two lateral branches 21 are connected to one another by a sealing line 3.
  • the sealing line 3 connects the two branches of the sheet of wrapping according to a path that surrounds the foodstuff product 1. It is therefore in general a path having an overall arched, i.e., C-shaped pattern, with the ends located in a position corresponding to the bent part 20, the said bent part evidently already performing an action of sealed reception of the product 1, without any need to form lines of connection.
  • sealing line 3 it is possible to resort to a wide variety of techniques extensively adopted in the packaging industry, in particular for the packaging of foodstuffs.
  • the sealing line 3 may be made - for example - by means of hot-sealing, cold-sealing, sealing with or without weld material, ultrasound welding, laser welding or, possibly, by means of a mere action of embossing.
  • the wrapping presented in Figure 4 is completed by forming one or two fantail twist-wrapped parts 4 so as to bestow on the wrapping as a whole the typical appearance of a wrapping for sweets.
  • This result may be obtained (in a known way) by subjecting to twisting the longitudinal end or ends of the wrapping, or else resorting to other methodologies aimed at obtaining a fantail twist.
  • connection between the two branches 21 is therefore extremely intimate and continuous, and consequently such as to withstand, without weakening, any possible subsequent deformations of the wrapping.
  • the reference number 10 designates a unreeling assembly from which is reeled off the sheet material that is to constitute the wrapping 2.
  • the sheet material 2 is fed towards a forming assembly 12 designed to bestow on the sheet material the general U-like shape comprising the bent part 20 and the lateral branches 21 (see Figure 3).
  • the forming device 12 may be considered in itself as an element of a known type. It is in fact obtainable according to the criteria widely used for making forming devices which, in packaging machines of a flow-pack type, close the sheet material according to a general tubular pattern.
  • tubular wrapping formed in flow-pack machines is characterized typically in that it is closed by a longitudinal sealing line and in that it has a substantially circular cross-sectional profile
  • the corresponding intermediate piece obtained in the plant of Figure 6 is instead open (see once again Figure 3), in the sense that the two lateral branches 21 are not connected to one another in a position corresponding to their distal margins.
  • Feed of the products 1 to be wrapped in the direction of the area where the forming device 12 operates is ensured by a conveyor 14 consisting, for example, of a motor-driven belt conveyor of the type widely used in plants for packaging foodstuffs.
  • the said conveyor 14 co-operates with the forming device 12 so as to cause the products 1 to be inserted in the wrapping material folded to form a U shape at regular distances apart, thus creating a loading station designated as a whole by 16.
  • a further conveyor of which usually the intermediate piece of wrapping material constitutes an active element, since it transports with it the products 1 located therein
  • the products are carried into a position corresponding to a closing station 18, which makes the sealing line 3 and segments the ribbon of wrapping material in the areas left free by the products so as to give rise to distinct wrappers.
  • the closing station 18 may be of the type with vertical reciprocating movement and thus comprise a base or anvil part 18a, as well as an active mobile element 18b, which moves vertically and is lowered periodically onto the anvil part 18a, thus creating the sealing line 3 and carrying out cutting of the individual wrappers.
  • the base part 18a and/or the active element 18b usually present surface indentations that define the path of the sealing line 3.
  • the base part 18a and/or the active element 18b may have associated thereto heating elements and/or ultrasound generators (not specifically illustrated but of a known type) when the sealing technology adopted involves the application of heat and/or ultrasound.
  • the closing station 18 may be built so as to carry out, in addition to the vertical movement that leads the base part 18a and the active element 18b to close against one another with the interposition of the wrappers, also a movement of "tracking" of the advance of the wrappers.
  • the said tracking movement causes the action of formation of the sealing line 3 to come about in conditions of practically no relative movement.
  • the fixed anvil part 18a may present a top surface that is at least slightly hollowed so as to ensure that the sealing line 3 (made with the wrapping comprised between the parts 18a and 18b closed against one another) will be obtainable in conditions of perfect symmetry.
  • the sealing unit 18 carries associated thereto cutting elements (not specifically illustrated, but of a known type) aimed at causing the continuous ribbon of sheet material 2 to be divided after or concomitantly with the formation of the sealing line 3 so as to give rise to individual wrappers, such as the wrapping designated by C in Figure 6.
  • the reference number 20 designates a shaping station, in which one or both of the longitudinal ends of the wrapping C are subjected to a further treatment (for example twisting) so as to form the fantail parts 4 of Figure 5.
  • the wrappers thus completed are gathered in a gathering station 22 in view of the subsequent further packaging.
