Vorrangig geht es um die Herstellung, Füllung und Komplettierung von Beuteln 10 aus dünnem Verpackungsmaterial, insbesondere (thermisch siegelbarer) Folie. Der Beutel 10 besteht aus einem einstückigen, hier rechteckigen, langgestreckten Zuschnitt, der aufgrund Umfaltung eines Schenkels eine Tasche 11 bildet für den Packungsinhalt mit Taschen-Vorderwand 12 und Taschen-Rückwand 13. Diese aneinanderliegenden Bereiche des Zuschnitts sind durch thermisches Schweißen oder Kleben miteinander verbunden, und zwar durch Seitennähte 14, 15. Eine Öffnung 16 dient zum Befüllen der Tasche 11 und zur Entnahme des Inhalts. Die Taschen-Rückwand 13 ist über die Öffnung 16 hinaus verlängert und bildet eine Verschlusslasche bzw. eine Wickellasche 17. Diese wird bei gefüllter und gegebenenfalls im Bereich der Öffnung 16 durch Schließstreifen verschlossener Tasche 11 um diese herumgefaltet, derart, dass ein Endbereich der Wickellasche 17 an der Taschen-Rückwand 13 anliegt und mit dieser verbunden ist.Priority is given to the manufacture, filling and completion of
Der Beutel 10 ist mit durch Klebung, gegebenenfalls auch durch thermisches Siegeln (Schweißen) befestigten Applikationen bzw. Zuschnitten versehen. Bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel ist als Verschlussmittel des Beutels 10 ein Tape 18 am freien Rand der Wickellasche 17 - etwa mittig - angebracht. Das streifenförmige Verschlussmittel weist einseitig eine Beschichtung aus Dauerkleber auf und am freien Endbereich eine klebstofffreie Grifflasche 19.The
Weiterhin ist bei diesem Beispiel am Beutel 10 ein Druckträger bzw. ein (mehrfach gefalteter) Coupon 20 angebracht. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Werbe- oder Informationsträger. Der Coupon 20 ist an der Innenseite der Wickellasche 17 durch Klebung fixiert, etwa mittig.Furthermore, in this example, a print carrier or a (multiply folded)
Weiterhin ist ein Halteorgan für Beigaben am Beutel 10 angebracht, und zwar ein rechteckiges Haltestück, nämlich ein Sticker 21. Dieser weist beidseitig eine Klebefläche auf, nämlich zum Befestigen am Beutel 10 und zum Anbringen von Beigaben, insbesondere ein Päckchen mit Zigarettenpapier. Der Sticker 21 ist hier an der Außenseite der Taschen-Vorderwand 12 angebracht.Furthermore, a holding member for gifts on the
Eine Besonderheit besteht darin, dass die vorgenannten Applikationen 18, 20, 21 am Beutel 10 angebracht werden, bevor dieser befüllt und verschlossen wird. Die fertigen, aber ungefüllten Beutel 10 entstehen durch Abtrennen von einer fortlaufenden Material- bzw. Folienbahn 22. Diese wird während kontinuierlichen Transports in einer Faltstation 23 mit einer Längsfaltung versehen, nämlich mit einem durchgehenden Bahnschenkel 24, der beim Beutel 10 die Taschen-Vorderwand 12 bildet. Danach werden im Bereich der gefalteten Folienbahn 22 quergerichtete Verbindungsnähte 25 in einer Siegelstation 26 angebracht. Die Verbindungsnähte 25 haben die doppelte Breite der Seitennähte 14, 15. In einer nachfolgenden Trennstation 27 werden die Beutel 10 gemäß
Die gesonderten Zuschnitte 18, 20, 21 werden an der Folienbahn 22 in beutelgemäßer Position angebracht. Vorzugsweise ist eine Übertragungsstation 30 zwischen der Siegelstation 26 und der Trennstation 27 positioniert. Die Zuschnitte, mindestens das Tape 18, werden demnach an der Folienbahn 22 angebracht, nachdem die Taschen 11 durch die Verbindungsnähte 25 definiert sind.The
Eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen, Füllen und Verschließen der Beutel 10 ist durch eine kompakte Gruppierung von Aggregaten gekennzeichnet. Die (ungefaltete) Folienbahn 22 wird von einer Bobine 31 mit horizontaler Drehachse abgezogen und über ein Ausgleichspendel 32 der Faltstation 23 zugeführt. Durch ein ortsfestes, im Wesentlichen dreieckförmiges Faltorgan 33 (Faltweiche) wird der Bahnschenkel 24 während fortlaufenden Transports der Folienbahn 20 gebildet. Zugleich wird die Folienbahn 22 um 90° umgelenkt in eine Hauptförderrichtung. Das Ausgleichspendel 32 dient dem Ausgleich von unterschiedlichen Drehgeschwindigkeiten der Bobine 31 bzw. der Erzeugung einer konstanten, kontinuierlichen Fördergeschwindigkeit im Bereich der Faltstation 23.An apparatus for making, filling and sealing the
Die so vorbereitete Folienbahn 22 wird über Umlenk- und Antriebsrollen durch ein Siegelaggregat 34 hindurch geleitet zum Anbringen der Verbindungsnähte 25. Das Siegelaggregat 34 ist aufrecht angeordnet. Die Folienbahn 22 wird an einem oberen Ende in das Siegelaggregat 34 eingeführt und nach Anbringen der Verbindungsnähte 25 mittels quergerichteter und querbewegbarer Siegel- bzw. Schweißorgane am unteren Ende aus dem Siegelaggregat 34 herausgeführt. Die Folienbahn 22 wird sodann wieder aufwärtsgeführt und durch ein weiteres Ausgleichspendel 35 hindurchgeleitet. Im Bereich des Siegelaggregats 34 ist die Bahn 22 taktweise angetrieben. Die nachfolgenden Stationen sind ebenfalls auf taktweises Fördern der Folienbahn 22 ausgerichtet, jedoch mit vom Bereich des Siegelaggregats 34 abweichenden Fördertakten. Diese unterschiedlichen Bewegungen werden durch das Ausgleichspendel 35 kompensiert.The thus prepared
Die Übertragungsstation 30 ist mit einem Übertragungsaggregat, zum Beispiel einem Tape-Aggregat 36 ausgerüstet, von dem ein vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel in
Der Übertragungswalze 37 ist bei dem Beispiel gemäß
Zur fehlerfreien Übertragung des Tapes 18 an die Folienbahn 22 ist die Übertragungswalze 38 in der axialen Abmessung über den Bereich des Beutels 10 bzw. der Wickellasche 17 hinaus verlängert und mit einem besonderen Randbereich 44 ausgebildet, der zur Aufnahme bzw. Anlage des überstehenden Bereits des Tapes 18. Dieses kommt mit der freien Klebeseite an dem eine geringe Haltekraft aufweisenden Randbereich 44 zur Anlage, der mit spitzen bzw. scharfkantig auslaufenden Vorsprüngen 45, insbesondere ringsherumlaufenden Rippen, versehen ist. An den Spitzen liegt die Klebefläche des Tapes 18 leicht lösbar an. Die klebefreie Grifflasche 19 liegt an einer zylindrischen Randfläche der Übertragungswalze 37 an und wird hier durch radiale Saugbohrungen 46, also durch Unterdruck gehalten.For error-free transmission of the
Die gegenüberliegende Andrückrolle 42 ist ebenfalls mit Haltemitteln für das Tape 18 bis zur Übergabe an die Übertragungswalze 37 versehen, nämlich mit einer Mehrzahl von an eine Unterdruckquelle angeschlossenen radialen Saugbohrungen 47.The
Die mit den Tapes 18 (oder anderen Zuschnitten) versehene Folienbahn 22 wird im unteren Bereich der Übertragungswalze 37 in horizontaler Ebene weitertransportiert und einem Trennorgan 48 der Trennstation 27 zugeführt. Die Folienbahn 22 wird auf einem Förderer abgelegt, insbesondere auf einem als Saugband ausgebildeten Zwischenförderer 48. Dieser führt die Folienbahn 22 bis unmittelbar zu einer Trennebene. Der Zwischenförderer 48 ist in besonderer Weise ausgebildet (
Um eine sichere Führung des Tapes 18 zu gewährleisten, schließt an die Übertragungswalze 37 oberhalb des Übemahmeförderers 48 ein Streifenförderer an, der im Bereich der Grifflasche 19 des Tapes 18 wirksam ist. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Rundriemen 51, der mit einem unteren Fördertrum an der Grifflasche 19 Anlage erhält. Der Förderer bzw. Rundriemen 51 erstreckt sich von einem Bereich unmittelbar benachbart zur Übertragungswalze 37 bis in den Bereich eines weiterführenden Förderers für die abgetrennten Beutel 10, nämlich bis oberhalb eines Beutelförderers 62. Der Rundriemen 51 läuft - im seitlichen Bereich - durch die Trennstation 27 hindurch.In order to ensure a secure guidance of the
Neben dem Rundriemen 51 ist oberhalb des Übemahmeförderers 48 ein Abstützorgan für die Folienbahn 22 ortsfest angebracht, nämlich ein Führungsstück 52, welches auf der der Übertragungswalze 37 zugekehrten Seite keilförmig ausläuft und sich gegenüberliegend exakt bis zur Trennebene erstreckt. Das flächen- bzw. plattenförmige Führungsstück 52 verhindert Verwerfungen der Folienbahn 22 nach Verlassen der Übertragungswalze 37.In addition to the
Im Bereich der Trennstation 27 ist ein Trennorgan taktweise wirksam, welches einen Trennschnitt etwa mittig im Bereich der Verbindungsnaht 25 quer über die volle Breite der Folienbahn 22 durchführt. Das Trennorgan besteht aus einem Trennmesser 53, welches außerhalb des Bereichs der Folienbahn 22 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Das Trennmesser 23 führt demnach einen Trennschnitt als in aufrechter Ebene vollzogener Schwenkbewegung aus. Das Trennmesser ist um ein Schwenklager 54 schwenkbar, welches vorzugsweise verschiebbar an einer Tragwand 55 des Maschinengestells gelagert ist. Ein Betätigungsgetriebe bewirkt die abgestimmte Auf- und Abbewegung des Trennmessers 53. Zu diesem Zweck ist ein Betätigungsarm 56 mit Tastrolle durch eine umlaufende Kurvenscheibe 57 betätigbar. Trennmesser 53 und Betätigungsarm 56 wirken als zweiarmiger Hebel. Die Bewegungsamplitude des Trennmessers 53 ist so bemessen, dass ein voller Trennschnitt ausgeführt wird. Mit dem Trennmesser 53 wirkt ein Gegenmesser 58 zusammen. Dieses ist als feststehender, quergerichtetes Schneidstück ausgebildet. Trennmesser 53 und Gegenmesser 58 ergeben zusammen einen scherenartigen Schneidvorgang durch die Schwenkbewegung des Trennmessers 53. Das Gegenmesser 58 ist unterhalb der Ebene der Folienbahn 22 angeordnet.In the region of the
Das Trennmesser 53 bzw. das Schwenklager 54 ist an der Tragwand 55 verschiebbar angebracht, um die Schnitt- bzw. Trennebene zu verstellen. Dadurch ist die Fertigung von Beuteln 10 unterschiedlicher Breite ermöglicht. Das Gegenmesser 58 wird als Einheit mitverschoben. Das Schwenklager 54 ist zu diesem Zweck an einem Träger 60 angebracht, der verschiebbar gelagert ist, insbesondere an der Tragwand 55. Das Trennmesser 53 bzw. das Schenklager 54 steht unter dem Druck eines Feder 61 in Richtung auf das Gegenmesser 58, sodass stets ein präziser Schnitt gewährleistet ist.The separating
Die abgetrennten Beutel (einschließlich Tape 18) werden von einem Anschlussförderer übernommen, nämlich dem Beutelförderer 62. Dieser transportiert die Beutel 10 mit Abstand voneinander in den Bereich der Übergabestation 28. In dieser werden die Beutel 10 nacheinander erfasst und an ein Füll- und Schließaggregat übergeben, nämlich an einen Beutel-Revolver 63. Die Einrichtung ist so ausgebildet, dass gleichzeitig mehrere, im vorliegenden Falle vier Beutel 10 auf dem Beutelförderer 62 präsentiert, erfasst und an den Beutel-Revolver 63 übergeben werden. Die gefüllten und verschlossenen Beutel werden auf einem Abförderer 64 abgelegt und abtransportiert.The separated bags (including tape 18) are taken over by a connecting conveyor, namely the
Für die Verschiebung der Schneid- bzw. Trennebene in der Trennstation 27 ist auch der Beutelförderer 62 bzw. ein der Trennstation 27 zugekehrter Anfangsbereich verstellbar. Der Beutelförderer 62 ist als Saugförderer ausgebildet zur ausreichenden Fixierung der Beutel 10 auf einem Obertrum 80. Unterhalb desselben ist ein Saugkasten 81 angeordnet zur Übertragung von Unterdruck auf das Obertrum 80. Der Saugkasten 81 ist zur Verschiebung des Aufnahmeendes des Beutelförderers 62 teleskopartig ausgebildet, nämlich mit einem Teleskopkasten 82. Dieser erstreckt sich bis zu einer oberen Umlenkwalze 83 für das Obertrum 80. Die Relativstellung bleibt stets unverändert, da der Teleskopkasten 82 in den Saugkasten 81 mehr oder weniger weit eintritt. Auch der Teleskopkasten 82 ist als Unterdruckquelle für das Obertrum 80 ausgebildet, dass eine Sicherung der Beutel 10 bis zur Umlenkwalze 83 gewährleistet ist. Weiterhin wird der Gurt des Beutelförderers 62 um eine Ausgleichswalze 84 geführt, die bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem Teleskopkasten 82 verbunden ist, in jedem Falle aber mit diesem bewegbar ist. Dadurch wird die Spannung in dem Gurt des Beutelförderers 62 auch bei der Verschiebung des Aufnahmeendes aufrechterhalten. Unterhalb der Ausgleichswalze ist eine weitere Umlenkwalze 85 vorgesehen, die den Gurt in den Untertrum führt bzw. von diesem aufnimmt.For the displacement of the cutting or dividing plane in the
Die Übertragungsstation 30 kann so ausgebildet sein, dass nicht nur ein Verschlussmittel (Tape 18), sondern weitere Zuschnitte auf die Beutel 10 bzw. die vorbereitete Folienbahn 22 übertragen werden. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Das Übertragungsaggregat 36 ist auch bei diesem Anwendungsfall einer Übertragungswalze 37 zugeordnet, auf deren Umfang die in der beschriebenen Weise vorbereitete Folienbahn 22 transportiert wird. Die Tapes 18 werden von einer fortlaufenden Tapebahn 65 durch quergerichtete Trennschnitte abgetrennt und durch eine Zuführungsrolle 66 positionsgenau an die Folienbahn 22 angelegt, wie im Zusammenhang mit
Ein Coupon-Aggregat 69 und ein Sticker-Aggregat 70 sind dem Übertragungsaggregat 36 in Transportrichtung vorgeordnet. Die Aggregate 69 und/oder 70 sind im Bereich eines horizontalen Bahnabschnitts 71 positioniert, oberhalb des Übertragungsaggregats 36. Die Aggregate 69 und 70 sind weitgehend übereinstimmend ausgebildet. Die Coupons 20 einerseits und die Sticker 21 andererseits sind jeweils auf einer Trägerfolie 72 angeordnet. Diese wird von einer Rolle 73 abgezogen. Analog zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Die Folienbahn 22 wird im Bereich der Aggregate 69, 70 so transportiert, dass die Taschen-Vorderwand 12 bzw. der Bahnschenkel 24 nach oben gerichtet ist, also frei liegt. Bei der beispielhaften Anordnung der Zuschnitte 20, 21 am Beutel (
Die Aggregate 69,70 arbeiten mit einem taktweisen Vorzug der Folienbahn 22. Alternativ zu der Ausführung gemäß
Generell gilt hinsichtlich der Bewegungscharakteristik der Folienbahn 22, dass diese bei einem Tape-Aggregat 36 mit drehendem Übertragungsorgan während der Übertragung des Tapes 18 transportiert wird, im Übrigen aber taktweise angehalten wird zur Durchführung des Trennschnitts im Bereich der Trennstation 27.With regard to the movement characteristics of the
