Definitions

  • the invention relates to a film packaging, in particular for bulk material, which has formed by folding a film front surfaces and gussets and is closed by a bottom seam and a top seam.
  • the film is provided with a weakening line for opening the package, along which a head-side packaging section is separable. After opening the packaging, one of the two lateral folds can be used as a chute, while an area of the packaging adjacent to the pouring opening remains closed on the upper side.
  • a foil package with the features described is out WO 2005/007528 A1 known.
  • the film packaging is produced from a prefabricated film bag, which is open at the top and filled in a bag filling system from above and then sealed with a transverse sealing seam which extends over the entire bag width.
  • the weakening line extends parallel to the head end over the entire width of the film bag.
  • a second transverse sealing seam is necessary below the weakening line, which is applied after filling the film packaging in the bag filling system and extends only over a partial width of the bag.
  • the application of different length transverse sealing seams requires customized sealing tools. This is considered a disadvantage in practice, since conversions must be made to the filling system.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a film packaging, which can be closed and completed after their filling in a filling with sealing tools that extend over the entire bag width.
  • a release layer is arranged from a non-firmly sealable material and that about the entire width of the package extends a transverse sealing seam which is laid over the region of the film provided with the separating layer and firmly connects the two front surfaces and the inner surface of the other side fold with the respectively adjacent front surface only outside this region.
  • Non-sealable materials include non-sealable materials and thermally sealable materials which, when thermally sealed, form peelable seal seams of low strength which can be purposefully separated by hand without destroying the film.
  • the separating layer prevents a firm thermal welding of the foil surfaces in the area of the later pouring opening and ensures the function of this area without the length of the transverse sealing seam having to be adapted accordingly. For this reason, identical sealing tools can be used in the filling installation in order, on the one hand, to apply the top seal seam and, furthermore, to produce the sealing seam which closes a partial area of the packaging on the top side after opening the package.
  • identical sealing tools can be used in the filling installation in order, on the one hand, to apply the top seal seam and, furthermore, to produce the sealing seam which closes a partial area of the packaging on the top side after opening the package.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that at least one two-layer film strip is attached to the packaging inside of the film packaging having a sealable layer connected to the inner surface of the package and a layer of a non-firmly sealable material forming the release layer.
  • the film strip consists for example of a composite material with a sealable layer of a polyolefin and a release layer of a non-sealable material, for example polyester.
  • the foil strip can be closed annularly.
  • the Separating layer of a peelable layer so that the attached to opposite wall surfaces of the packaging portions of the film strip are superimposed and adhere to each other before the first use of the packaging by contact of the peelable layers.
  • the peelable layer can consist of an exfoliating sealing wax or of a laminated foil which has corresponding peeligerishities.
  • the peel layer may in particular be a polyethylene layer containing polybutene.
  • the connection between the peelable layers can be easily released by hand. The connection can ensure the tightness of the bag even if the line of weakness consists of a perforation.
  • the film strip is secured below the weakening line on the inside of the package and extends into an area above the line of weakness without being connected to the inside of the package above the line of weakness. After opening the package, the film strip then forms an upwardly projecting chute, which facilitates the pouring of the contents.
  • an alternative embodiment of the invention provides that the separating layer consists of a release varnish applied to the film, which is not sealable and prevents through welding. If the film package is opened by severing the header, an upwardly projecting chute may be realized by having the line of weakness in the region of the film provided with the release coating having a corresponding contour, i. H. a contour that simulates an upwardly projecting chute.
  • a further improvement in the function of the film packaging can be achieved by arranging a closing meeting on the inside of the packaging in the region of the separating layer, which is fastened to the film below the weakening line and with a free end above the line of weakness ends.
  • the free end of the closure strip can be fastened to the outside of the packaging after the packaging has been opened - the pouring opening in cross-section.
  • Adhesive strips or strips of a Kiett closure come into consideration as closure strips.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a flat foil pouch according to claim 10 for use in a bag filling installation, in which the foil pouch can be filled and closed with transverse sealing seams which extend over the entire width of the pouch to a foil packaging having the features described above.
  • Advantageous embodiments are described in claims 11 to 16.
  • the in the Fig. 1 to 3 illustrated film packages are suitable as packaging of bulk material, such as dry food for animals. They have front surfaces 1, 1 'formed by folding a film and side gussets 2, 2' and are closed by a bottom seam 3 and a top seam 4.
  • the film is provided with a weakening line 5 for opening the package, which extends parallel to the top seam 4 over the entire bag width and also the side folds 2.
  • the weakening line 5 may be a perforation or, if greater impermeability is required, a laser seam penetrating only one layer of the usually multilayer film.
  • a head-side packaging section 6 is separable, wherein the tearing is facilitated by a finger lift 7 in one of the gussets 2. After opening the packaging, one of the two lateral folds can be used as a chute, while an area of the packaging adjacent to the pouring opening 8 remains closed on the upper side.
  • a separating layer 9 made of a non-firmly sealable material is arranged in a region which forms the pouring opening 8 after opening the packaging.
  • Parallel to the top seam 4 extends over the entire width of the package, a transverse seam 10, which is placed over the provided with the release layer 9 region of the film and only outside this area, the two front surfaces 1 and the inner surface of the other side fold 2 'with the respectively adjacent Front surface 1, 1 'firmly connects ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the separating layer 9 prevents the opposite surfaces of the film packaging thermally bond under the action of the sealed seam and keeps the pouring opening 8 open.
  • a at least two-layer film strip 11 is attached to the packaging inside of the film, which has a sealable connected to the inner surface of the package Layer and a separating layer 9 forming layer of a non-firmly sealable material.
  • the film strip 11 consists for example of a composite material with a sealable layer of a polyolefin and a release layer 9 of a polyester.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 A comparative consideration of Fig. 1 and 2 takes it that the film strip 11 is attached below the weakening line 5 on the inside of the package and extends into a region above the line of weakness 5. After opening the package, the film strip 11 forms an upwardly projecting chute 12, which facilitates the pouring of the contents.
  • the release layer 9 of the film strip 11 can also be made of a peelable layer so that the portions of the film strip attached to opposite wall surfaces of the film package are superimposed and adhere to each other prior to initial use of the package by contact of their peelable layers.
  • the easily peelable by hand peelable compound improves the tightness of the package, so that a good sealing effect is ensured even if the line of weakness 5 consists of a perforation.
  • a closure strip 13 is disposed on the inside of the package in the region of the release layer 9, which is fastened below the weakening line 5 on the film and ends with a free end above the line of weakness 5.
  • the free end of the closing meeting after opening the package - the pouring spout 8 across - attachable to the outside of the package.
  • the closure strip 13 may consist of a self-adhesive adhesive strip or a Velcro strip, which cooperates with a corresponding counter-element 15 on the bag outer surface.
  • the separating layer 9 consists of a separating lacquer applied in regions on the film of the packaging bag on the inside of the packaging, which barrier prevents thermal bonding of adjacent wall surfaces.
  • the weakening line 5 has, in the region 16 of the film provided with the release lacquer, a contour which simulates an upwardly projecting chute 12.
  • the Fig. 5 to 8 show precursors for the production of the film packaging described.
  • These are flat-lying film bags 17 for use in a bag filling plant, in which they are filled and then closed and finally formed into film packages with transverse sealing seams (4, 10) which extend over the entire width of the bag.
  • the film bags each have front surfaces 1, 1 'formed by folding a film and side gussets 2, 2' and are closed on the underside by a bottom seam 3.
  • the foil bags On the upper side, the foil bags have a filling opening 18 extending over the entire side of the bag.
  • the film from which the film bags 17 are made is provided with a weakening line 5, along which a head-side bag section 19 can be separated from the film bag 17.
  • a release layer 9 is arranged from a non-firmly sealable material.
  • the release layer 9 covers a surface region 20 of the film, which is traversed by the weakening line 5.
  • Fig. 5 is attached to the inside of the bag, at least a two-layer film strip 11 having a thermally firmly bonded to the film bag 17 sealable layer and the release layer 9 forming layer of a non-firmly sealable material.
  • Foil strip 11 extends over the wall surface of the side fold 2 up to the front surfaces 1, 1 'and is attached over its entire length to the inside of the bag below the weakening line 5 on the inside of the foil bag 17 Fig. 6 ). Vertically, the film strip 11 extends into an area above the weakening line 5.
  • the film strip 11 is closed to form an annular nozzle 21.
  • the spout 21 is attached to the inner surface of the side gusset 2 and to one of the two front surfaces - here the front surface 1 '-.
  • the not connected to the film bag portion 22 of the spout 21 adheres through a peelable compound 23 at the adjacent portions of the film strip 11 so that the spout 21 does not hinder the filling of the film bag.
  • the spout 21 is also attached below the weakening line 5 on the inside of the film bag 17 and extends into a region above the line of weakness. 5
  • the separating layer 9 consists of a release varnish applied to the film.
  • the depiction also shows that the line of weakness in the region 16 of the film provided with the release lacquer has a contour which simulates an upwardly projecting chute 12.
  • the in the Fig. 5 to 8 shown film bag 17 are prefabricated and then filled in a filling. After filling, the film bags 17 are closed by a top seal 4 and formed by attaching the transverse seam 10 to form a film. For attaching the head seam 4 and the transverse seam 10 same sealing tools can be used.
