Definitions

  • the invention is based on an independently operating application module, in particular for a packaging machine according to the preamble of the independent claim.
  • application module in particular for a packaging machine according to the preamble of the independent claim.
  • integrated in / add-on modules in intermittent tubular bag machines with extensive mechanical and electrical interfaces, which seal, for example, internal coffee degassing valves in films, from which the bag to be filled is produced in the same machine.
  • manual manual workstations are known.
  • a VFFS filler according to the preamble of claim 1 is already known for large bags.
  • This machine comprises a holding device for carrying one or more feed rolls of a film material.
  • a guide means is provided to support and feed a sheet of film from one of the feed rollers along a feed path.
  • a film feed drive is provided to translate the film sheet along the feed path and through bag forming means where a portion of the film sheet is folded and wrapped around a drop tube.
  • a vertical welder is provided to form a vertical weld along the folded foil sheet.
  • a horizontal welder is provided to produce a bottom seal for a bag to be filled and a top seal for a filled bag.
  • the independently operating application module according to the invention in particular for a packaging machine, comprises the features of the independent claim.
  • the application of, for example, internal coffee valves is carried out without complicated mechanical and electrical intervention in a tubular bag machine / packaging system or film web.
  • the operation of the downstream packaging machine may be intermittent or continuous. Due to the decoupling of the independently operating application module from the actual packaging machine, such as, for example, a tubular bag machine, high outputs can be achieved, which are, for example, 120 valve applications per minute.
  • the line configuration is reduced to a minimum, since there are only a few and simple interfaces to downstream machines. For this reason Retrofitting existing packaging lines without degassing valves is also less risky, and on-site rebuild time is reduced relative to the integrated solution.
  • the independently operating application module also serves to decouple the upstream and downstream process (intermittently or continuously). It has a separate control.
  • the following packaging machine such as a tubular bag machine can be from any manufacturer, which reduces the configuration effort.
  • a fully tested module can be provided during a retrofit.
  • the independently operating application module can easily be used for other variants / applications such as ZIP closures or reclosures (to be glued or sealed to films).
  • FIG. 1 a perspective view of the independently operating application module according to the invention without showing the packaging material
  • FIG. 2 a side view with foil, but without frame
  • FIG. 3 an isometric representation of in FIG. 2 shown arrangement.
  • An independently operating application module 10 consists of a frame 12 with screwed-on control cabinet 14, integrated control and display terminal 16 and own protection.
  • a packaging material roll suspension 18 and a cutting and gluing table 20 are decoupled from the existing packaging installation and fastened to the frame 12.
  • the film leader 26 operates with a print mark controller 30. Between the film store 24 and the vacuum film leader 26, a servo motor driven sealing station 32 and a film cutting station 34 are accommodated.
  • the sealing station 32 operates in the ultrasound process by means of an ultrasonic welding device 36.
  • An electromagnetic vibratory conveyor 38 for sorting and feeding the objects not shown to be sealed in the sealing station 32 is placed on the cover plate of the frame 12.
  • the signal exchange to the downstream machine takes place via potential-free contacts.
  • the sealing station 32, the articles to be sealed are fed via a feed chute 40 from the vibratory conveyor 38.
  • the sealing station 32 is preceded by a web edge control 44.
  • the film 13, which is now provided with the sealed objects, leaves the independently operating application module 10 via a film extension 42, which is equipped, for example, with a rocker for maintaining the web tension.
  • a separate control for the application module 10 is housed in a control cabinet 14 which is connected to the frame 12.
  • the independently operating application module 10 is used in particular for the connection of internal coffee degassing valves with a packaging material 13 such as a film. These valves are supplied to the application module 10 via a vibratory conveyor 38.
  • the packaging material 13 provided with the valves can subsequently be supplied to further packaging machines, such as, for example, tubular bag machines for producing and filling a coffee bag.
  • the provision of an independently operating application module 10 simplifies the retrofitting of existing packaging machines and serves to decouple the upstream and downstream process. Like that Figures 2 and 3 If the end of a packaging material roll 11 is detected, the cutting and gluing table 20 serves to connect the outgoing film web to the beginning a new film web of a new packaging material roll 11. The film 13 is fed to the film storage 24 via the preliminary development 23.
  • a so-called airbag film storage is suitable for application modules 10 with high performance.
  • This per se known Folien acknowledgedart includes In addition, for example, via a photoelectric control and a vacuum brake to maintain the desired film tension. A chicane is used for clean film guidance.
  • foil memory 24 can be achieved very short feed times. In principle, however, other types of known film storage 24 are conceivable. From the film storage 24, the film 13 passes to the film cutting station 34. The film 13 is cut at the point where later in the sealing station 32, the valve is sealed to the film is then the film is intermittently fed to the sealing station 32. By means of a positioning device, the valve is brought into the desired sealing position over the incision interface in the film 13.
  • the valve is fed to a sealing die which is brought into a sealing position in the vertical direction becomes.
  • sealing processes for example, thermal processes are used which, conventionally or via ultrasound, generate heat.
  • an ultrasonic welding device 36 is used, which allows very short welding cycles. In principle, however, other methods are conceivable.
  • the vacuum film leader 26 is, for example, driven by a servo motor and pulls the film 13 intermittently out of the film store 24. However, the intermittent film preference could also be generated in a manner other than by vacuum.
  • the vacuum pump 28, which is also part of the application module, provides the required vacuum.
  • valves instead of valves as objects to be sealed, also reclosures, ZIP-closures or the like can be applied, which are sealed / glued, or any other objects.
