Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for filling stand-up pouches of the type explained in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a device is known from EP 576 058 B1.
- the known device contains a filling carousel which rotates continuously and is fed directly from a bag forming machine.
- the bag forming machine first processes film material from a roll to a bag strand, cuts this bag strand into individual bags and transfers the individual bags to a synchronization device, which they then transfer to the continuously rotating filling carousel.
- a synchronization device must remain.
- the type and construction of the synchronization device is not described; however, it can be seen from the illustration that obviously linearly movable arms are used.
- the bags are kept on the filling carousel is also not described.
- Synchronization device that places the bags on the filling carousel.
- the second weak point is the idler wheel, which transports the open, filled bags, the speed of which transport is limited to ensure that the contents of the bags, especially when they are filled with liquid, do not spill over.
- US Pat. No. 3,323,280 shows a filling carousel for filling bags with granules.
- the bags are prefabricated and provided in a bag magazine, from which they are transferred to the filling carousel in a linear movement.
- the bags are gripped at both opposite side seams by means of a clamping gripper, which can be moved relative to one another in order to open the bag.
- This movement of the clamp grippers is relatively complicated to carry out.
- the bags Before the opening is closed, which is done here by sewing, the bags are rotated, which in turn has to be done by a superimposed movement of the clamping grippers.
- a bag filling device which uses an endless conveyor which conveys the bags, clamped to an endless conveyor belt, through the different stations.
- the bag is clamped on only one side seam with the aid of a clamping gripper.
- this clamped side seam is the leading side seam, which on the one hand has the disadvantage has that both side walls of the bag are no longer available for opening, and on the other hand greatly reduce the throughput of the bags, since the bags with their largest dimensions now point in the conveying direction.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a device of the type mentioned in such a way that its effectiveness is increased.
- Support surface according to claim 12 its mobility according to claims 13 and 14 and the possibility with the centering according to claim 15 serve to further optimize the mounting on the filling carousel, and in particular to better adapt to subsequent process steps.
- the object is further, if necessary also alone, solved by the sealing carousel according to claim 16, since it is able to remove the bags directly from the filling carousel, i.e. without an idler gear.
- the sealing device of the capping carousel can simultaneously take on conveying functions.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a device according to the invention in plan view
- FIG. 2 shows the device according to FIG. 1 in a perspective side view
