Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for recovering tea from malformed tea bags.
  • Teabags have been industrially manufactured for a long time in so-called tea bag production machines. Today, these are usually able to produce a package of teabags from a continuous feed of loose tea of a given batch of the machine, as well as from a continuous supply of tea bag paper, labels, thread and cardboard.
  • the tea is usually supplied by means of a continuous stream of air from the bag in which the tea batch was transported and stored, the machine in the so-called Rohwarenzuer.
  • Teabag paper, already printed label paper and thread run continuously from rolls into the machine, and the (still flat) cardboard packaging for the outer packaging of the packaging unit to be produced slips continuously from a ready-made stack into the machine.
  • the machine uses folding, cutting and knotting to fabricate the individual tea bags in an extremely complex manner and then packs a certain number of them into the (automatically unfolded) cardboard box.
  • This machine and the associated tea bag manufacturing process are not the subject of this patent.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a method and apparatus for recovering tea from malformed tea bags, which is more economical, especially in terms of batch purity.
  • a malformed tea bag which has been filled with tea from a particular tea batch by a tea bag making machine, is cut into substantially parallel strips.
  • the tea bag, thread and Ettikettenschnitzel are sieved from the tea previously contained in the tea bag. And the sieved tea is returned directly, possibly delayed, but in any case during the processing of the tea batch from which the defective tea bag originates, to the tea bag production machine for re-processing.
  • a tea bag produced as faulty is first automatically recognized as such and automatically ejected from the tea bag production machine.
  • a teabag recognized as faulty is passed directly from the tea bag production machine into a cutting unit of a tea recovery device, e.g. B. by the teabag falls into the automatic ejection directly into a filler neck of the cutting, and that the cut tea bag then falls directly into a screening, where the teabags, thread and Ettikettenschnitzel are screened from the tea, and that finally the tea - immediately or at adjustable time intervals - is sucked back into a feed line of the tea batch for raw material supply of the tea bag production machine.
  • the teabags, thread and Ettikettenschnitzel can be removed directly after screening by suction and fed, for example, a briquette press.
  • the tea bag recognized as faulty be cut into strips of 4 to 8 mm, in particular 6 mm, in width. Because on the one hand then falls the tea usually processed to tea with a grain size between 0.2 and 2 mm (fannings, fine cut) from teabag strips of this width, as has been found according to the invention, particularly safe, without even further cut to a significant extent to become. And on the other hand, teabag and Ettikettenschnitzel this width, as has been found according to the invention, less bulky than in other latitudes, so that these teabag shavings sieve and carry away more space economically and in particular also better suck.
  • Also according to the invention is a device for recovering tea from malformed tea bags with a cutting unit of intermeshing cutting cylinders.
  • These cutting cylinders are arranged on at least two parallel, rotationally driven shafts - in such a way that a cutting cylinder has a first and a second radially encircling edge, which shears each axially against a radially encircling edge of another cutting cylinder on another shaft as a counter-blade.
  • a cutting cylinder is formed as a circular cylindrical disc with a cylinder height (Axial expansion) of preferably 4 mm to 8 mm, in particular 6 mm.
  • cutting cylinder creates an embodiment of the invention, which can be particularly easily produced by machine.
  • space that occupies this cutting advantageously small, so that arranging a device equipped therewith for recovering tea directly in a tea bag production machine can accomplish space economically easier.
  • the device according to the invention also has a screening plant for screening the teabag, thread and label shreds.
  • FIG. 6 shows a sectional side view of a device 2 for recovering tea from malformed tea bags (not shown). Spatially, this device is 2 in FIG. 2 recognizable.
  • a malformed teabag was automatically identified as defective within a teabag production machine (not shown) and ejected from the teabag production machine. This ejection movement preferably leaves the tea bag directly in the upper inlet 4 (see again FIG. 6 ) of a cutting unit 6 of the device 2 fall into it.
  • a funnel (not shown) or a chute (not shown) may assist in the aiming safety of this transport into the cutting unit 6 .
  • the cutting unit 6 is shown schematically in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 recognizable.
  • the cutting unit 6 has two rows of cutting cylinders 8, 10 , which mesh with each other on two parallel, rotationally driven shafts 12, 14 (the rotary drive in the form of an electric motor 15 is in FIG. 6 visible).
  • a first radially encircling edge 16 of one of the cutting cylinders 8.4 on the first shaft 12 shears off as a cutting edge 16 against a radially encircling edge 18 of one of the cutting cylinders 10.4 on the other shaft 14 as a counter-blade 18 .
  • the second radially encircling edge 20 of the cutting cylinder 8.4 - which as a shoulder axially in an opposite direction (in FIG.
  • the intermeshing cutting cylinders 8, 10 on the shafts 12, 14 rotate in opposite directions in the direction of the arrows 24, 26 in FIG. 7 and thus pull a tea bag, which falls from above into the cutting mechanism indentation 4, into the described intermeshing cutting geometry.
  • This introduced by the opposite direction of rotation 24, 26 feeder is additionally supported in the illustrated embodiment by axial corrugations 28 on the cylinder jacket surfaces of all cutting cylinders 8 and 10.
  • the collection of tea bags in the cutting gap 4 by a moving device, for example in the form of rotating mixing arms (not shown) supporting space 30 (see FIG FIG. 6 ) through the cutting unit 6.
  • Teabags which now so fall into the cutting gap 4 between the cutting cylinders 8, 10 are cut into substantially parallel strips. Their width depends on the cylinder height of the cutting cylinders 8, 10, it corresponds to the cylinder height substantially and is preferably between 4 mm and 8 mm, in particular 6 mm.
  • the shape of the vibrating chute 32 also goes out FIG. 3 . 4 and 5 out. It is in cross-section substantially V-shaped with high edges, so that the cut material remains safe in the gutter. Through the bottom of the vibrating chute 32 screen holes go through with a diameter of preferably 2 mm to 5 mm, in particular 3 mm.
  • tea bag and label paper strips as well as larger filament shreds are sieved by means of the sieve bores 33 . Namely, through the sieve bores 33 , the smaller chips and in particular also the tea fall into a collecting vibrating channel 42.
  • the collecting vibrating channel 42 runs parallel to the sieve vibrating channel 32 directly below its sieve bores 33 .
  • the collecting vibrating channel 42 is suspended by means of the leaf springs 40 to the chassis 36 , so that the fallen there well also to the right in FIG. 6 is transported.
  • the paper strips and shreds of thread transported to the right in the sieve-chute 32 finally end up in a suction device 44 (also in FIG. 2 can be seen in a spatial representation) and are fed from there through a pipe 46 leading from the screening plant to a disposal.
  • the second screen 50 is in an elongated, rectangular box 52 (see also FIG. 3 ) housed.
  • a side flap 54 see also again FIG. 5 .
  • flat sieve sheet metal strips 56, 58, 60, 62 inserted into the housing 52 plane-parallel one above the other - about the type of baking trays, which are inserted into a stovepipe.
  • the box 52 of the second screening 50 are thus in the side walls guides (not shown), which hold the screen plates 56, 58, 60, 62 plane-parallel one above the other, without slipping in the housing 52 .
  • the four screen plates 56 to 62 each have a rectangular array of screen holes 64 .
  • This arrangement of the fields 64 of sieve bores in front of each other continues into the underlying sieve plate surfaces 60, 62 .
  • the thus recovered tea eventually falls through a window 66 in the bottom 68 of the housing 52 into a suction device 70. This redirects the recovered tea through a re-processing pipe 72 back into the raw material feed of the teabag production machine (not shown), which is still is charged with the same particular tea batch from which the tea originated in the malformed tea bag.
  • the sieved in the second sieve 50 remnants fall from the respective sieve sheet metal strip, in FIG. 5 and 6 at the left edge of the housing 52 from the same driven by the shaker 34 , and fall in turn fall into a suction device 74 for the waste, which is in communication with the suction device 44, 46 and also this residual impurities of disposal.
