Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Verpacken eines in einer Schale befindlichen Produktes sowie eine Verpackungsmaschine zur Durchführung eines solchen Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for packaging a product located in a tray and a packaging machine for carrying out such a method.
Viele Gegenstände und Produkte werden bei der Vermarktung in vorgefertigte Schalten verpackt und mit einer sogenannten Stretchfolie verschlossen. Dabei wird eine dehnfähige, meist transparente Folie um die Schale gewickelt, um den Inhalt zu fixieren und vor Einflüssen von außen zu schützen. Da kein hermetischer Abschluß des Inhaltes erfolgt, kann der Luftsauerstoff nachteilig auf verderbliche Produkte einwirken. Die Packungen sind aber optisch sehr attraktiv, besonders, wenn Lebensmittel wie Fleischwaren den Schalenrand überragen und mit der transparenten Abdeckung sehr plastisch wirken.Many items and products are packaged in pre-fabricated shawls during marketing and sealed with a so-called stretch film. In this case, a stretchable, usually transparent film is wrapped around the shell to fix the contents and protect against external influences. Since no hermetic closure of the contents takes place, the atmospheric oxygen can adversely affect perishable products. But the packages are visually very attractive, especially when food such as meat products tower over the edge of the bowl and look very plastic with the transparent cover.
Bei Vakuum- oder sogenannten Atmos-Packungen wird durch hermetischen Verschluß die Einwirkung von Luftsauerstoff auf verderbliche Lebensmittel verhindert. Hierzu wird eine undurchlässige Folie als Abdeckung auf die Schale aufgesiegelt, aus der zuvor die Luft durch Evakuieren abgesaugt und eventuell durch Inertgas ersetzt wird.In vacuum or so-called Atmos packs by hermetic closure to the action of atmospheric oxygen prevents perishable food. For this purpose, an impermeable film is sealed as a cover on the shell, from the previously sucked the air by evacuation and possibly replaced by inert gas.
Wenn übliche Schalen-Versiegelungsmaschinen eingesetzt werden, darf bei Verwendung einer planebenen Abdeckfolie der Packungsinhalt den Schalenrand nicht überragen, da sonst die Abdeckfolie Falten bilden kann und beim Aufsiegeln undichte Stellen in der Siegelnaht entstehen.If conventional tray sealing machines are used, the contents of the tray must not project beyond the edge of the tray when using a flat covering foil, since otherwise the covering foil can form wrinkles and leaks in the sealed seam during sealing.
Aus der US 6,408,598 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Packung bekannt. Es wird vorgeschlagen, eine Abdeckfolie, die erwärmt wurde, in einer beheizten Mulde über dem Produkt zu verformen. Dabei besteht die Gefahr, daß im Randbereich Falten entstehen, die in der Siegelzone Leckagen verursachen. Nachteilig ist auch die Erwärmung der Abdeckfolie vor oder während der Verformung, da schrumpffähige Folien bei höheren Temperaturen ihre Schrumpfeigenschaft verlieren.From US 6,408,598 a method for producing such a package is known. It is proposed to deform a cover sheet that has been heated in a heated trough over the product. There is a risk that arise in the edge region wrinkles that cause leaks in the sealing zone. Another disadvantage is the heating of the cover before or during deformation, since shrinkable films lose their shrinkage property at higher temperatures.
Aus der EP-A-1 038 773 ist eine Verpackungsmaschine mit einer schematisch angedeuteten Verschließstation und einer Einrichtung zum Zuführen von mit einer Oberfolie zu verschließenden Schalen in die Verschließstation bzw. aus dieser heraus bekannt. Insbesondere sind solche Verschließstationen bei dem bekannten Verpackungsmaschinen als Evakuier- und Siegelstation ausgebildet.From EP-A-1 038 773 a packaging machine with a schematically indicated closing station and a device for feeding trays to be closed by a top film into or out of the closing station is known. In particular, such Verschließstationen are formed in the known packaging machines as evacuating and sealing station.
Aus der EP 0 314 546 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Verpacken von über einen Behälterrand herausstehenden Produkten bekannt. Dabei wird eine Oberfolie, die zum Verschluss dient, zwischen einem Oberteil und einem Unterteil eines Werkzeugs eingeklemmt und erhitzt. Anschließend wird der das Produkt enthaltende Behälter in Richtung der Oberfolie bewegt, sodass das Produkt gegen die erweichte Oberfolie gedrückt wird und diese deformiert. Gleichzeitig mit der Deformation der Oberfolie wird ein Schweißkopf zum Verschweißen der Oberfolie mit dem Behälter betätigt.EP 0 314 546 A1 discloses a device for packaging products projecting beyond a container edge. In this case, an upper film, which serves for the closure, is clamped and heated between an upper part and a lower part of a tool. Subsequently, the container containing the product is moved in the direction of the upper film, so that the product is pressed against the softened upper film and deforms it. Simultaneously with the deformation of the top film, a welding head for welding the top film to the container is actuated.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die oben beschriebenen Nachteile bei einem Verfahren zum Verpacken bzw. einer Verpackungsmaschine zu vermeiden und ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der die Herstellung einer Verpackung mit einer Schale und einem über den Schalenrand nach oben hervorstehenden Produkt zuverlässig möglich ist. Die so geschaffenen Produktpackungen sollen sowohl dicht sein als auch rein äußerlich eine vorteilhafte Präsentation erlauben.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above in a method for packaging or a packaging machine and to provide a method and a device, with the manufacture of a package with a shell and one on the edge of the shell after above projecting product is reliably possible. The product packages created in this way should be both dense and allow a favorable presentation on the outside.

Die Formeinrichtung 9 weist auf ihrem dem Unterwerkzeug abgewandten Boden ringsum laufende Bohrungen 25 zum Verbinden der dem Unterwerkzeug zugewandten Seite mit dem Innenraum 8 auf, so daß bei Anschluß von Unterdruck über die Bohrung 23 auch eine Saugwirkung auf der dem Unterwerkzeug zugewandten Seite der Bohrung 25 anliegt.As best seen in Fig. 5 it can be seen, the
Ferner sind Pneumatikantriebe 26 zum Auf- und Abbewegen des Siegelwerkzeuges und Pneumatikantrieb 27 zum Auf- und Abbewegen des Schneidwerkzeuges vorgesehen.Furthermore,
Der Innenraum 12 des Unterwerkzeuges 6 weist zunächst auf seinem Boden ein Widerlager 28 zur Auflage des Tragteiles 17 auf. Der Innenraum 12 ist über eine Bohrung 29 mit einer in Fig. 7A schematisch angedeuteten Evakuier- und Begasungseinrichtung verbunden.The interior 12 of the
Wie am besten aus einem Vergleich von Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlich ist, ist der Rahmen 15 zwar in der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Höhe relativ zur Höhe des Oberwerkzeuges 5 fixiert, jedoch insoweit nachgebend, als er bei Anliegen eines entsprechenden Druckes am Unterwerkzeug 6 von dem Unterwerkzeug so gegen das Oberwerkzeug gedrückt wird, daß das Innere der Evakuier- und Versiegelungseinrichtung hermetisch nach außen abgeschlossen ist.As best seen in a comparison of FIGS. 3 and 4, the
Im Betrieb ist die Evakuier- und Versiegelungseinrichtung 4 in der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Stellung geöffnet. In dieser Stellung wird der die mit dem Produkt 3 beladene Schale 1 tragende Schalenträger 14 in Richtung des Pfeiles 31 in die gezeigte zentrierte Position zwischen die Werkzeugteile gefahren. Im nächsten Schritt wird der in Fig. 4 schematisch angedeutete Antrieb 33 des Unterwerkzeuges 6 derart betätigt, daß das Unterwerkzeug in die Fig. 4 gezeigte geschlossene Stellung bewegt wird, und zwar so, daß die Oberfolie 13 und der Rahmen 15 zwischen Oberwerkzeug 5 und Unterwerkzeug 6 eingeklemmt sind. Damit ist die plane, ebene Oberfolie 13 faltenfrei ringsherum eingespannt. In dem nächsten in Fig. 5 gezeigten Schritt erfolgt über die Evakuiereinrichtung 24 ein Evakuieren oberhalb der Oberfolie mit der Folge, daß diese an die Innenwandung der Formeinrichtung 9 angesaugt und somit gereckt wird.In operation, the evacuating and sealing
In dem in den Fig. 4 und 5 gezeigten Schritt ist die Schale 1 durch die zurückgezogene Stellung des Tragteiles 17 jeweils so tief gehalten, daß das Produkt 3 noch einen Abstand von der Ebene der Oberfolie 13 besitzt. Nachdem die Oberfolie in dem in Fig. 5 gezeigten Schritt an die innere Oberfläche der Formeinrichtung 9 angesaugt ist, wird in dem in Fig. 6 gezeigten Schritt mit einem schematisch angedeuteten Antrieb 33 das Tragteil 17 relativ zum Rahmen 15 soweit zum Oberwerkzeug 5 hin bewegt, daß sein oberer Rand in der ursprünglichen Ebene der Oberfolie bzw. in einer Ebene mit der zum Oberwerkzeug hingerichteten Oberfläche des Rahmens 15 liegt. Bei diesem Schritt bleibt die Evakuiereinrichtung 24 eingeschaltet.In the step shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the shell 1 is held so deep by the retracted position of the
In dem in Fig. 7A gezeigten Schritt wird die Evakuier- und Begasungseinrichtung 30 zusätzlich eingeschaltet. Dadurch erfolgt zunächst über einen sich ringsherum um das Tragteil 17 erstreckenden Kanal 34 zwischen Tragteil 17 und Rahmen 15 eine Evakuierung. Dieser Kanal mündet an einer Stelle, die durch die Oberfolie 13 gegen den Innenraum abgetrennt ist, so daß der Raum 35 zwischen Produkt 3 und gereckter Oberfolie 13 evakuiert wird. Für den Fall, daß es gewünscht ist, erfolgt durch entsprechendes Umschalten der Evakuier- und Begasungs- einrichtung 30 anschließend ein Zuführen eines Schutzgases in den Raum 35.In the step shown in Fig. 7A, the evacuation and gassing
