Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Verpackungsmaschine und ein Verfahren zur kontinuierlichen Herstellung von Kunststofffolienverpackungen mit einer Peel-Off Zone (Abziehzone) und einem Etikett, wobei das Etikett auf die Peel-Off Zone der abziehbaren Folie aufgebracht ist, und eine Kunststofffolienverpackung mit einem solchen Etikett.The invention relates to a packaging machine and a method for the continuous production of plastic film packaging with a peel-off zone (strip zone) and a label, wherein the label is applied to the peel-off zone of the peelable film, and a plastic film packaging with such a label.

Kunststofffolienverpackungen bestehen häufig aus zwei zusammengeführten Folien. Derartige Folien werden auf Verpackungsmaschinen in der Regel in Form von Folienbahnen verarbeitet. Hierzu werden die Folienbahnen in Fördermitteln geführt und von Schneidwerkzeugen in definierte Folienabschnitte unterteilt. Derartige erfindungsgemäße Verpackungen aus einer in Mulden geformten Unterfolie, in die Mulde eingebrachtem Verpackungsgut und einer auf der Mulde gesiegelten Oberfolie selbst sind seit langem bekannt. Diese werden auf Tiefziehverpackungsmaschinen erstellt.Plastic film packaging often consists of two merged films. Such films are processed on packaging machines usually in the form of film webs. For this purpose, the film webs are guided in funding and divided by cutting tools in defined sections of film. Such packaging according to the invention from a lower film formed in troughs, packaged goods introduced into the trough and a top film sealed on the trough itself have long been known. These are created on thermoforming packaging machines.

Verpackungsgüter, insbesondere Lebensmittel, werden dem Verbraucher heutzutage immer öfter in Kunststoffverpackungen zum Verkauf angeboten. Diese Kunststoffverpackungen weisen eine Verpackungsmulde auf, in der sich das Verpackungsgut befindet und von zumindest zwei Kunststofffolien eingeschlossen ist. Oftmals weisen diese Verpackungen jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass die gesiegelten Deckelfolien mit der Hand nur schwer zu öffnen sind. Zudem kann das Produkt bei ruckartigem Entfernen der Deckelfolie aus der Verpackungsmulde rutschen oder rausfallen. Überdies ist die abziehbare Folie schlecht greifbar, weil die Folien die Eigenschaft haben aneinander zu haften, z.B. durch statische Aufladung, Feuchtigkeit oder Kaltverschweißen durch Schneidvorrichtungen. Auch die häufig verwendeten Peel-Off Ecken schaffen hier keine Erleichterung und sind insbesondere von älteren Menschen häufig schwierig ergreifbar.Packaged goods, especially food, are increasingly being offered to consumers in plastic packaging today. These plastic packages have a packaging tray in which the packaged product is located and is enclosed by at least two plastic films. Often, however, these packages have the disadvantage that the sealed lid films are difficult to open by hand. In addition, the product can slip or fall out of the packaging tray when the cover film is jerkily removed. Moreover, the peelable film is poorly tangible because the films have the property of adhering to each other, e.g. by static charge, moisture or cold welding by cutting devices. Even the frequently used peel-off corners do not create any relief here and are often difficult to handle, especially by older people.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen leichteren Zugriff auf die abziehbare Folie zu schaffen und Kunststofffolien mit einer solchen Arbeitserleichterung mittels einer kontinuierlich arbeitenden Verpackungsmaschine bereitzustellen.It is an object of the present invention to provide easier access to the peelable film and to provide plastic films with such ease of operation by means of a continuous packaging machine.

Die Aufgabe ist gelöst durch den Gegenstand der unabhängigen Patentansprüche, bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche oder nachfolgend beschrieben.The object is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims, preferred embodiments are subject of the dependent claims or described below.

In derartigen Verpackungsmaschinen wird die Unterfolie von einer Rolle abgezogen und taktweise mit einer Folientransportkette, auch als Kluppenkette oder Klammerkette bezeichnet, transportiert. In der ggf. vorhandenen Formstation werden aus der flachen Unterfolie Mulden geformt. In diese Mulden werden Verpackungsprodukte manuell oder automatisch eingelegt. Nach der Bestückung mit den Verpackungsprodukten wird die Oberfolie hinzugefügt, die in einer Siegelstation auf die Unterfolie aufgesiegelt wird, um so abgeschlossene Behältnisse zu schaffen. Die Oberfolie zum Verschließen der Packungen wird von oben her an die Unterfolie herangeführt und liegt nachfolgend parallel auf der Unterfolie auf, um zum Siegelwerkzeug geführt zu werden. Das Aufsiegeln erfolgt auf die im Wesentlichen ebenen Ränder, die die ausgeformten Mulden der Unterfolie umgeben. Sind mehre Produktlagen gewünscht, können auch mehrere Oberfolien zugeführt werden, jeweils vor einer Siegelstation.In such packaging machines, the lower film is withdrawn from a roll and cyclically transported with a film transport chain, also referred to as a clip chain or staple chain transported. In the possibly existing forming station, depressions are formed from the flat lower film. Packaging products are inserted manually or automatically into these hollows. After the packing with the packaging products, the top film is added, which is sealed in a sealing station on the lower film, so as to create closed containers. The upper film for closing the packages is brought from above to the lower film and is subsequently parallel to the lower film, to be guided to the sealing tool. The sealing takes place on the substantially flat edges that surround the shaped hollows of the lower film. If several product layers are desired, several top films can also be fed, each in front of a sealing station.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft nach einer Ausgestaltung eine Kunststoffverpackung mit einer Peel-Off Zone aus einer Verpackungsmulde und mindestens einer ersten und einer zweiten Folie, wobei beide Folien im Siegelbereich mindestens teilweise peelbar an die Verpackungsmulde gesiegelt sind und beide Folien einen Überlappungsbereich aufweisen und im Überlappungsbereich zumindest teilweise aneinander gesiegelt sind, wobei die Siegelung abziehbar bzw. peelbar ist.According to one embodiment, the present invention relates to a plastic packaging with a peel-off zone comprising a packaging tray and at least one first and one second film, wherein both films are at least partially peelably sealed to the packaging tray in the sealing region and both films have an overlapping region and at least in the overlapping region partially sealed together, the seal being peelable or peelable.

Die Peel-Off Zone (= Abziehzone) ist der Bereich der Kunststofffolienverpackung in dem beide oder mehrere Folien lose übereinander liegen und zumindest eine Folie durch Hintergreifen ergriffen werden kann, um diese von der weiteren Folie durch Erfassen und nach hinten Wegziehen abzuziehen. Die Peel-Off Zone ist im Randbereich der Kunststofffolienverpackung außerhalb der Siegelnaht angeordnet und vorzugsweise als Peel-Off Ecke (= Abzieh-Ecke) ausgebildet.The peel-off zone (= peel-off zone) is the area of the plastic film packaging in which both or more films lie loosely on top of each other and at least one film can be grasped by grasping behind in order to remove it from the further film by grasping and pulling it back. The peel-off zone is arranged outside the sealing seam in the edge region of the plastic film packaging and preferably as a peel-off corner (= peel-off corner).

Die Peel-Zone ist mit einem Etikett überklebt oder das Etikett ist thermisch aufgeschweißt, wobei das Etikett eine Klebe- bzw. Haftzone aufweist, nachfolgend kurz Klebezone (inkludiert thermisches Aufschweissen) genannt, und eine neutralisierte Zone, die nicht klebend oder haftend ist.The peel zone is pasted over with a label or the label is thermally welded, the label having an adhesive zone, hereafter referred to as an adhesive zone (including thermal fusing), and a neutralized zone which is non-adhesive or adhesive.

Die Klebezone liegt auf der peelbaren Folie, die in der Regel die Oberfolie darstellt, im Bereich der Peelzone auf: Die neutralisierte Zone steht in Form einer leicht ergreifbaren Lasche über. Wird nun diese Lasche ergriffen, kann die abziehbare Folie von der weiteren Folie, die vorzugsweise in der Form einer Verpackungsmulde ausgebildet ist, leicht erfasst und ganz oder teilweise abgezogen werden.The adhesive zone lies on the peelable film, which usually represents the top film, in the area of the peel zone: the neutralized zone is in the form of an easily graspable flap. Now, if this tab is taken, the peelable film from the other film, which is preferably formed in the form of a packaging tray, easily detected and completely or partially deducted.

Zum Aufschweißen der Etiketten können Vorrichtungen verwandt werden wie Sie aus der EP 1310431 B1 bekannt sind.For the welding of the labels devices can be used as you from the EP 1310431 B1 are known.

Das Etikett ist vorzugsweise selbstklebend ausgestattet (Haftetikett) und kann aus Kunststoff oder Papier bestehen. Hinsichtlich der Form ist es weitegehend frei gestaltbar. Wichtig ist nur, dass sich nach dem Aufkleben eine abstehende nicht klebende Lasche ergibt.The label is preferably self-adhesive (adhesive label) and may be made of plastic or paper. With regard to the shape, it is largely freely designable. It is only important that after sticking results in a protruding non-adhesive tab.

Die Peel-Off Zone kann vorauslaufend oder nachlaufend in Bezug auf die Folienlaufrichtung angeordnet sein. Die Position der Peel-Off Zone ist an der Verpackung frei wählbar.The peel-off zone may be preceded or trailing with respect to the film travel direction. The position of the peel-off zone can be freely selected on the packaging.

Die Erfindung ist weiter durch die Figuren erläutert, ohne auf diese beschränkt zu sein. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Ausschnitt aus einer Verpackungsmaschine mit Etikettiermaschine und Längs- und Querschneidern und
  • Fig. 2 eine Kunststofffolienverpackung mit Etikett.
The invention is further illustrated by the figures, without being limited thereto. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 a section of a packaging machine with labeling and longitudinal and transverse cutters and
  • Fig. 2 a plastic film packaging with label.

In Figur 1 ist ein Ausschnitt einer Verpackungsmaschine (1) dargestellt. Zu erkennen sind die gemeinsam als Unter- und Oberfolie dargestellte Folie (2) gehaltert in einer Folientransportkette (7). Als Längsrichtung ist die angedeutete Laufrichtung (14) angegeben. Die Folie besteht jeweils in Querrichtung aus einem Verbund von mehreren Einzelverpackungen, im vorliegenden Beispiel drei Einzelverpackungen, von Kunststofffolienverpackungen (2). Mit Punkten sind die gedachten Schneidelinien (5) der Einzelverpackungen angedeutet. Ebenso gezeigt ist die außerhalb der Siegelnaht (13) angeordnete Peel-Off Ecke (8). Die Peel-Off Ecke ist vorauslaufend angeordnet.In FIG. 1 a section of a packaging machine (1) is shown. Evident are the film (2) shown together as a lower and upper film held in a film transport chain (7). As a longitudinal direction the indicated direction of travel (14) is indicated. The film consists in the transverse direction of a composite of several individual packaging, in the present example, three individual packaging of plastic film packaging (2). With dots the imaginary cutting lines (5) of the individual packages are indicated. Also shown is the outside of the sealed seam (13) arranged peel-off corner (8). The peel-off corner is arranged ahead.

Quer zur Laufrichtung (14) wird der Verpackungsverbund durch eine Querschneidevorrichtung (3) getrennt. Nach taktweiser Förderung gelangt, die durch die Querschneidevorrichtung (3) eingebrachte Schnittlinie (6) zur Etikettiervorrichtung (12). Hier werden Etiketten (9) so aufgeklebt, dass die Klebezone (10) auf der Peel-Zone (8) aufliegt, während der neutralisierte, nicht haftende oder klebende Bereich (11) der Etiketten (9) überlappend in den Verpackungsverbund aus Einzelverpackungen der vorausgehenden Kunststofffolienverpackung (2) reicht und die Schnittlinie der Querschneidevorrichtung überdeckt.Transverse to the direction (14) of the packaging composite is separated by a cross-cutting device (3). After cyclically conveying, the cutting line (6) introduced by the cross-cutting device (3) arrives at the labeling device (12). Here labels (9) are glued so that the adhesive zone (10) on the peel zone (8) rests, while the neutralized, non-adhesive or adhesive area (11) of the labels (9) overlapping in the packaging of individual packages of the preceding Plastic film packaging (2) is sufficient and covers the cutting line of the cross cutting device.

Sind die Etiketten (9) aufgeklebt, werden diese taktweise in einen Bereich gefördert, in dem Längsschneidevorrichtungen (4) die drei Einzelverpackungen vereinzeln, womit jede Einzelververpackung mit einem Etikett (9) versehen ist und einen überstehenden neutralisierten Bereich (11) als Lasche aufweist. Die Etiketten (9) wurden zuvor außerhalb des Schneidebereichs der Längsschneidevorrichtungen aufgebracht.If the labels (9) are glued, they are cyclically conveyed into an area in which longitudinal cutting devices (4) singulate the three individual packages, whereby each individual packaging is provided with a label (9) and has a protruding neutralized area (11) as a tab. The labels (9) were previously applied outside the cutting area of the slitters.

Eine solche vereinzelte Kunststoffverpackung ist in Figur 2 dargestellt. Hier ist erkennbar, dass die Siegelnaht (13) umlaufend eine innere das Verpackungsgut einschließende Siegelzone bildend ausgebildet ist und die Peel-Off Ecke ausnimmt und hierbei umläuft. Der neutralisierte Bereich (11) ist grau hinterlegt, der Klebereich (10) ist hell gehalten. Das Etikett ist so platziert, dass der Klebebereich nicht über den Rand der Kunststofffolienverpackung reicht.Such a scattered plastic packaging is in FIG. 2 shown. Here it can be seen that the sealing seam (13) circumferentially forming an inner sealing area enclosing the packaged product and excludes the peel-off corner and thereby rotates. The neutralized area (11) is shaded gray, the Klebereich (10) is kept bright. The label is placed so that the adhesive area does not extend beyond the edge of the plastic film packaging.
