Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging machine with at least one processing station, which is mounted on a frame.
  • Packaging machines have a plurality of processing stations, such as e.g. Forming, sealing and cutting stations, for packaging products. Furthermore, they have an insertion and a delivery area. All processing stations or entry and exit areas are mounted on a single frame.
  • the frame for the packaging machine consists of individual parts, which are connected to each other by welding and / or screwing to modules or to the overall frame.
  • Packaging machines with a modular design are from the DE 196 30 964 A1 , of the DE 203 05 759 U1 , of the DE 101 47 361 A1 or the WO 2009/060254 A1 known.
  • these conventional packaging machines are still disadvantageous in terms of their adjustment and / or cleaning options.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a packaging machine in which the individual processing stations can be made simpler, cleaned and flexibly arranged, and at the same time the alignment of individual frame parts of the processing stations and / or the regions of the frame is improved.
  • the packaging machine has a modular structure and thus each composed of several racks, different arrangement combinations of the individual racks of a processing station, an insertion and / or a delivery station are possible.
  • processing stations There are now combined processing stations conceivable in which, for example, by several successively arranged modular racks on which the corresponding processing tools are mounted, the product to be packaged is sealed several times.
  • the modular structure of the respective processing station it is made possible by the modular structure of the respective processing station to provide different equipment options for the respective racks of the processing station, the design effort is reduced overall, as no longer the entire processing station must be redesigned, but only the frame in question.
  • the respective spacer elements are connected to a spacer element facing surface of the respective frame. This ensures that two adjacent racks are connected to each other via the spacer element.
  • a defined gap between the two racks is formed as a result of the spacer element. This gap is designed such that both the spacer element facing surfaces of the respective racks and the spacer element itself are each easily accessible, whereby a cleaning of the processing station is ensured and simplified especially in these critical areas.
  • no elaborate sealing of the frame is more necessary.
  • each optimal alignment of the individual frames to each other and to the racks of other processing stations is achieved by the spacer element, and sufficient stability of the processing station for forces occurring in the processing station is ensured.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the individual processing stations have a closed structure of the respective racks. If, like a pipe section, the spacer elements have a closed outer circumference and an inner through-hole through which supply and control lines can be guided, it can additionally be ensured that the lines extending between the processing stations are protected from the product to be packaged. Thus, contamination of the interior of the respective frame and / or between the lines passing through the processing stations is prevented by the product to be packaged.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that impurities can not collect on the spacer element, since this each has a round or trapezoidal cross-section.
  • the round or obliquely or not horizontally extending surfaces of the spacer ensure that when cleaning water or detergent must drain completely, so that no liquid residues remain that could form possible impurity foci.
  • FIG. 1 11 shows a front view of a processing station 1 with a plurality of racks 10, 20, 30 in an unassembled state of the processing station 1.
  • the separate racks 10, 20, 30 are an introduction processing rack 10 and an execution processing rack 30, and a processing rack 20 interposed therebetween

  • a rack 40 is disposed between each of the processing rack 20 and the introduction processing rack 10 and / or the execution processing rack 30, disposed.
  • the support frame has a greater height than the racks to a part of a tool or similar. to install above the frame.
  • a machining tool holder 41 is disposed between the two support frames 40 in parallel to a moving direction of the product to be packaged.
  • the machining tool holder 41 is connected at its respective ends to the respective holding frame 40 and has in the FIG. 1 not shown tools for processing, such as for sealing, the product to be packaged on.
  • At least one first spacer element 100 is arranged on a respective surface of the introduction processing frame 10 and / or of the processing frame 20 and / or of the machining frame 30 that is vertically aligned transversely to the direction of movement of the product to be packaged.
  • at least one second spacer element 200 is arranged at a transversely to the direction of movement of the product to be packaged vertically aligned surface of the holding frame 40.
  • the second spacer element 200 is arranged on the holding frame 40 in such a way that it is opposite the first spacer element 100, and that the first spacer element 100 can engage in a positive engagement therewith.
  • a seal 400 for sealing the first and second spacer elements 100, 200 is arranged between the first and second spacer elements 100, 200.
  • the second spacer element 200 may not only be arranged on the holding frame 40.
  • the holding frame 40 is dispensed with.
  • two spacers 100, 100 are connected to each other at the lead-in processing frame 10 and / or the machining frame 20 and / or the machining frame 30.
  • the first and second spacer elements 100, 200 engage in a form-fitting manner, so that in each case a gap is formed between the holding frame 40 and the introduction frame 10 and / or the processing frame 20 and / or the delivery frame 30.
  • the horizontal distance between the support frame 40 and the insertion frame 10 and / or the machining frame 20 and / or the frame 30 is determined by the horizontally extending length of the first and second spacer elements 100, 200.
  • feet 42 By means of arranged at each end of the support frame 40 and / or the Ein Industriesgestells 10 and / or the Austechnologygestells 30 feet 42 a distance between the processing station 1 and a bottom is set. It can also be additional in the FIG. 1 stand not shown may be arranged on the processing frame 20. Alternatively, embodiments are also conceivable in which the feet 42 are arranged only on the frame 10, 20, 30.
  • a packaging tray on the Ein Siliconbearbeitungsgestell 10 of the processing station 1 which is formed in this case, for example, as a sealing station transported.
  • the packaging tray may, for example, have been formed in a forming station upstream of the sealing station.
  • different devices can be arranged on this introduction processing rack.
  • a device for feeding products into the packaging tray is arranged at a sealing station On the introduction processing rack 10.
  • the product to be packaged is transported by means of the transport device over a holding frame opening arranged in the holding frame 40 onto the processing frame 20.
  • the product located in the packaging trays is sealed at a sealing station by means of tools arranged on the processing tool holder 41.
  • the packaged product is transported to the finishing processing area 30 where, for example, a label is applied to the sealed product.
