Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of packaging coffee and a packaging machine for packaging coffee.
- the coffee is to be packaged in a hermetic manner so as to keep its freshness and taste.
- the packaging operation should be performed as economically as possible.
- both the closed and the opened package should exhibit an attractive outer appearance.
- EP 0 298 302 B1 discloses a vacuum pack for ground coffee, which consists of a tube of multilayer composite sheet which is provided with a tear-open strip.
- the vacuum pack can be wrapped in an outer wrapper, which can be made of paper.
- Such types of coffee packages are also available on the market, for example, for the Applicant's Jacobs Krönungbrand.
- DE 38 33 939 A1 and DE 38 28 847 A1 disclose similar vacuum packs.
- EP 0 121 371 B2 relates to a method of producing filmic packaging material, to which a tear tape is adhered in a machine direction, i.e. in a direction, in which the packaging material is conveyed in the packaging machine.
- the invention provides a method of packaging coffee, which can efficiently produce a coffee package which is both easy to open and has an attractive appearance after opening. Moreover, a packaging machine for carrying out such a method is provided.
- the novel method of packaging coffee includes the step of filling coffee into an inner bag. Filling the coffee into the inner bag can be performed before or after an outer wrapper, which is described in more detail below, is wrapped around the inner bag.
- the method and the machine described herein are also suitable for packaging other food products, preferably ground food products for which it is beneficial to have a preferably hermetic inner bag, in which the food product is contained, and which is wrapped in an outer wrapper.
- the method and device described herein are also suitable for packaging rice.
- the invention generally relates to such packages, independent of their contents.
- the inner bag can consist of an airtight and/or hermetic material in order to constitute a vacuum pack in the final state.
- the inner bag can be formed by wrapping a suitable material around a mandrel and forming a first end seal as well as a side seal. Thus, one end remains open, and coffee is filled into the bag at this end either before or after the outer wrapper is wrapped around the inner bag. Afterwards, an evacuating step can be carried out, and the second end can be sealed thereafter.
- an outer wrapper is wrapped around the inner bag.
- the outer wrapper can be made of paper, plastic film or laminate, for example, consisting of paper and a plastic film or a suitably coated paper, and is conveyed in a machine direction.
- the outer wrapper rather a continuous web of plural outer wrappers is conveyed in the form of a web, and individual outer wrappers are cut at an appropriate stage.
- the outer wrapper can be partially wrapped around the inner bag, before the individual outer wrapper is cut from the web.
- individual outer wrappers can also be cut, before they are fed into the packaging machine and conveyed into the machine direction.
- cutting of individual outer wrappers can also be performed at any other appropriate time, for example, just before the wrapper is wrapped around the inner bag.
- a currently preferred process can be described as follows.
- the inner bag is cut from a web, wrapped around a mandrel and a first end seal and a side seal are formed.
- the individual outer wrapper is also cut from a web, and wrapped around the inner bag. In this state, the inner bag can still be on the mandrel.
- an evacuating step can be conducted, and both the inner bag and the outer wrapper are closed.
- the outer wrapper can also be wrapped around the inner bag, when the latter is already filled with coffee, and an optional evacuating step has been conducted.
- individual outer wrappers are wrapped around the inner bag, in order to form a coffee package with an attractive appearance.
- a material of the inner bag can be specifically chosen so as to fulfill the requirements regarding airtightness, sealability and so on.
- the material of the outer wrapper can be chosen to provide the desired attractive appearance.
- tear tapes are applied to the outer wrapper.
- This application can be performed, while plural outer wrappers are still present as a web.
- the individual tear tape can also be applied to an individual outer wrapper, after the latter has been cut from a web.
- one tear tape is applied to each individual outer wrapper.
- This application is, in a novel manner, performed at an angle to the machine direction.
- the tear tapes can be applied substantially perpendicular to the machine direction, in other words in a cross-machine direction. This allows for an efficient method for packaging coffee and, at the same time, provides an easy-to-open package.
- the inner bag can be formed, filled and sealed in one and the same packaging machine and "in line" with the wrapping of the outer wrappers. Due to the application of the tear tapes at an angle to the machine direction, the tear tapes will extend across the final package, preferably horizontally in an upright package with the end seals of the inner bag being located at the bottom and top of the package. Thus, the top part of the outer wrapper can, for example, be removed after the tear tape has been gripped and torn around the package. This allows, firstly, easy opening of both the outer wrapper and the inner bag, as the area, where the inner bag is to be opened, is exposed by removal of a part of the outer wrapper.
- the package exhibits an attractive appearance, as a major part of the outer wrapper can stay intact and has a relatively straight edge, where the tear tape has been torn, and only a part of the outer wrapper has been removed.
- the surface thereof is still visible on the opened package, and the "branding", any product information and the like is still legible on the opened package. This is also beneficial for the consumer, as he can easily realize what the opened package contains.
- the coffee package when the tear tapes are applied in a direction substantially perpendicular to the machine direction. This particularly implies that the tear tape is oriented substantially horizontally in an upright package so that the above-mentioned advantageous effects can be realized.
- the package is to be considered in an upright position, when any printing thereon is legible, and the end seals of the inner bag are normally located at the bottom and top of the package, in this upright state.
- the invention is independent of certain details regarding the application of the tear tapes.
- the tear tapes can advantageously be applied to a rear side of an outer wrapper, which is printed on a front side.
- the outer face of the outer wrapper is printed, in order to provide both an attractive appearance and product information.
- the tear tape of the package is "hidden" by being applied to the (inner) rear side of the outer wrapper.
- the front side can contain an indication that a tear tape is present, in order to assist the consumer in finding and using the tear tape, when the package is to be opened.
- the tear tape can also be applied on an outer face or a front side of the outer wrapper. In such a case, the tear tape can be particularly wide and can be printed in order to make the consumer especially aware of the presence of the tear tape and/or provide additional product information in a particularly exposed manner.
- the tear tapes can also be applied in a sealable state.
- they can be heat or cold sealed to the outer wrapper.
- they can be suitably glued to the outer wrapper.
- the tear tapes are, before they are applied to the outer wrapper, cut to a predetermined width.
- the tear tapes are supplied to the outer wrapper with the required width so that they do not need to be cut to the predetermined width immediately before their application to the outer wrapper.
- the tear tapes will normally be cut to the appropriate length, preferably extending across the complete outer wrapper. This cutting to length can be performed before, during or after the tear tape is applied to the outer wrapper.
- these can be supplied as rolls having a continuous strip of tear tapes with the desired width wound thereon.
- the tear tapes are preferably applied intermittently, which is advantageously compatible with the intermittent filling and packaging of coffee packages.
- inventive method currently allows up to 130 or even more coffee packages to be produced per minute which corresponds to an efficient method of producing easy-to-open packages.
- the packaging machine includes a device for forming an inner bag, a device for filling coffee into the inner bag, preferably a device for sealing the inner bag, a conveyer for conveying an outer wrapper in a machine direction, a device for applying tear tapes to the outer wrapper at an angle to a machine direction, and a device for wrapping the outer wrapper around the inner bag.
- Preferred embodiments of the packaging machine described herein substantially correspond to preferred embodiments of the inventive method.
- the packaging machine can include a cutter for cutting the tear tapes to a predetermined width.
- the device for applying the tear tapes can include a device for accommodating at least one roll of tear tapes. This allows the tear tapes to be supplied as a continuous strip of material, from which individual tear tapes are cut and applied to the outer wrapper.
- the device for forming the inner bag can include a mandrel, around which the material, which is to form the inner bag, is wrapped and sealed at one end and the side.
