Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a package of the type formed from a single-layer or multi-layer material sheet as well as a form, fill and seal machine (FFS machine) and further a package produced on such an FFS machine according to the present invention.
  • FFS machine form, fill and seal machine
  • an FFS machine operates by being fed a material sheet which by a former in the machine is shaped into a tube by attaching the two side edges of the sheet to each other continuously as the sheet is fed into the machine.
  • Means for creating end seals, within this application referred to as cross seals are provided further downstream in the machine such that the tube is delimited laterally to the tube's longitudinal direction after which the so delimited tube is filled with the object to be packaged and again provided with and end seal laterally to the tube's longitudinal direction.
  • the material sheets are usually polymer-based and may be provided with printing such that information about the object inside the package is conveyed to the user.
  • a material web is shaped into a V-shape or trough shape.
  • cross seals are made, i.e. the sides of the web are united in order to form pockets, which are then filled with the material or goods is placed in the package.
  • the material or goods is placed in the bottom of the V or trough on the web, after which the free side edges of the web are joined/sealed to form a tube. A folding of the free ends extending from the seal forming the tube, is performed. Finally cross, seals, delimiting each package from the next are formed.
  • the tube is shaped about a VFF filler tube, such that the tube forming seal uniting the webs side edges is formed together with a cross seal, at such a rate that the tube relative to the filler tube will be open upwards, but limited by a cross seal downwards.
  • This document does not provide any means for easing the opening of the package.
  • foils for use in wrapping/packaging items such as candy usually have a plurality of layers. Typically a layer on which pictures, text and the like is printed, will be covered by a thin protective layer. Layer thicknesses are typically in the range of 5 - 60 ⁇ , such that the overall foil is the sum of the different layer thicknesses. Other layers such as layers exhibiting uni-direction tearing and/or barrier layers etc may be added. These layers all exhibits different characteristics and together provides the foil with the desired characteristics, also when it comes to welding/fusion.
  • One such solution is to provide a small cut, through all material layers, said cut being arranged in the end seal in the longitudinal direction but limited to a few millimetres into the end seal such that a tear initiator is created whereby e.g. a corner of the package may relatively easily be torn off.
  • a tear initiator is created whereby e.g. a corner of the package may relatively easily be torn off.
  • JP 10250764 JP 2003191965 , WO 9216431 and JP2004182267 .
  • the tearing action is helped along by further providing a tear line in the shape of a cut going partly through a foil layer along where the opening is intended to be, or providing a tape, see for example JP 10250764 such that as the tape is pulled it will tear the foil.
  • the invention addresses this by providing a method of manufacturing a package of the type formed from a single-layer or multi-layer material sheet, where said package has an easy to open feature, where the sheet is shaped into the finished package having an inner side suitable to be in contact with the matter to be packaged and an outer side, comprising the following method steps:
  • the filling stage of the package has been left out as it is well-known in the art depending on the make of the machine to introduce products into this type of packages during the process of forming the package.
  • the present invention is independent of the type of device used to fill the packages and is only concerned with providing novel features for opening of the finished package.
  • the perforation will extend from the edge of the perforation line and a small distance towards or into the cross seal, parallel to the side flap such that as a user holds the package in one hand and pulls the side flap at the edge with the other hand, the perforation will provide a weak spot which will initiate the tearing of the material such that it is very easy to tear open the material and thereby gain access to the gain access to the interior of the package without destroying said package.
  • Repeated tests have clearly shown that a very easy opening is provided, and that the opening is well defined, and limited to the desired section of the package.
  • the manner in which the seals are made which are created during the formation of the sheet material into a package distinction is made between two main types: lap seals and fin seals.
  • Lap seals are created by simply overlaying one sheet over the other and welding, gluing or otherwise connect the two sheets. In this manner two different sides of the sheet will be connected - what is to be the inner side of the package with what will be the outer side of the package.
  • fin seals the sides of the sheets are connected, inner side to inner side, whereby a flap or fin is created.
  • the manner of sealing has no effect on the invention, as long as a fin or flap is provided.
  • the flap may be created by a former tool, or may be provided as a separate piece of sheet material adhesively or welded onto the outside of the tube.
  • a single-layer or multi-layer material sheet In this connection it is also important to realise what is meant with the formulation "a single-layer or multi-layer material sheet".
  • sheets made up of a number of different layers each layer having unique characteristics, such that the finished sheet, has been created in order to posses specific features for the designated purpose.
  • layers can be mentioned layers which may only be ripped in one direction, layers with a special coating, for example metal in order to render the layer vapour tight, UV protective layers, barriers etc. etc.
  • the composition of the sheet is not important, but in some embodiments of the invention it may be sufficient in order to achieve the desired effect, that the perforation extends through some of the material layers making up the sheet material.
  • the orientation of the perforation i.e. between parallel to the flap up to and including an angle of 60°, will, depending on the sheet construction, facilitate the desired effect. This is due to the fact that the perforation when exposed to tearing by pulling the flap, will guide the crack forming towards the flap, which will be welded and thereby constitute a stronger construction than the sheet material. When the crack encounters the flap, even from an angle of 60 °, the crack will follow the flap, and thereby provide the desired inventive effect.
  • the perforation By limiting the perforation to be situated in a cross seal, the free sheet ends or a combination, the volume in which the goods inside the package are contained is still sealed off and thereby not exposed to the ambient.
  • the material sheet is a polymer material sheet where seals and connections are created by heat fusing or welding.
  • This is the most common type of materials used for the vast majority of packages manufactured from sheet materials.
  • the heat fusing or welding provides reliable and strong seals such that a good, firm package is provided naturally depending on the choice of sheet material, but usually the welded portions will be stronger than the sheet material as such.
  • the material is a non-weldable or non heat-fusionable material, where seals and connections are created by applying adhesives between material surfaces to be joined in order to create the seals, where the material is selected from one or more of the following: coated or uncoated cellulose based materials, polymeric films, aluminium based sheets.
  • the material is selected from one or more of the following: coated or uncoated cellulose based materials, polymeric films, aluminium based sheets.
  • paper sheet material which on one side, namely the side intended to be in contact with the products to be packaged, is provided with a polymer coating such that in theory a seal could be created by welding, but due to the nature of the over-all sheet material, namely paper, it is necessary to use an adhesive in order to create the seals.
  • the sheet material is formed into a tube around a pipe or former, which pipe at the same time is used for filling the material to be packaged into the package.
  • the edge sections of the material sheet are overlaid and depending on the type of sheet material, welded or glued together where the filling pipe may be used as a land, i.e. as a back support for the welding wheel.
  • the invention in a further advantageous embodiment is provided with two rollers such that, as the side flap, created by hav-flap, created by having passed the fin in the alternative embodiment mentioned above the side flap is exposed to heat or heat and/or pressure exerted by two rollers arranged on either side of the side flap and biased towards said side flap.
  • a side flap is created although the traditional manufacturing of packages of this type does not require a side fin, but due to the advantageous opening procedure incorporating the perforation according to the present invention a side flap is desirable, and therefore the fin on the filling pipe is provided in cooperation with the side rollers.
  • a perforation tool is provided where the perforation tool may be selected between one or more of the following:
  • a laser device for either cutting or engraving the perforations is a well-known technology. It is known in the art to operate lasers such that they only penetrate a certain, very small distance into a material. This may further be enhanced by providing a coating on the inside of the materials, such that the laser device will detect different material material characteristics and thereby delimit the depth of the penetration of the laser to that particular material layer, whereby it becomes possible to very efficiently perforate only one layer of the package material at the cross seals.
  • the package material is usually provided with indications intended to be present on each package such as e.g. bar codes, printing, print markers or the like. These markers may be used as detection points for e.g. a photo cell such that the recognition of the marker passing the photo cell will be used as input for the perforation tool which may be arranged downstream from the photo cell and activated in response to the detection of a marker.
  • indications intended to be present on each package such as e.g. bar codes, printing, print markers or the like.
  • markers may be used as detection points for e.g. a photo cell such that the recognition of the marker passing the photo cell will be used as input for the perforation tool which may be arranged downstream from the photo cell and activated in response to the detection of a marker.
  • very well-proven technology which in some cases are already present in the machine may be further utilized in order to be used as input for the perforation tool thereby providing the perforation in the exact, correct positions relative to the separating lines.
  • the invention also discloses a form, fill and seal machine for forming packages, where said machine comprises means to convey a continuous sheet material through the machine, and where said machine comprises means for creating at least one side flap on the package and where said machine further comprises means for establishing sealed cross zones extending substantially laterally to the side flap and means for establishing separating lines, where said separating lines are established in said cross zones wherein the sealed cross zones have at least a two material layer thickness, characterised in that the machine comprises a perforation tool which perforation tool perforates one of the two material layers adjacent and parallel to said side flap, and where the perforation extends inside said sealed cross zone, and that the perforation at least extends to the separating lines.
  • In-line implies that the packaging material is feed into a packaging machine in one end and that a finished package containing the goods to be packaged is being ejected in the other end. This is of cause a rational and possible use of the invention.
  • the invention is however also suitable for being used such that the packaging material is shaped more or less into a finished package, for example leaving an end open. At a later stage or even at another location the package is thereafter filled with the goods to be packaged and sealed.

  • perforations or cut-outs 7 are provided.
  • perforations 7 are provided at both ends of the side flap 10, but the same advantages are achievable with only one perforation 7 provided at either end of the side flap.
  • the perforations 7 are provided parallel to and adjacent the side flap 10 and has an extent in the longitudinal direction of the package indicated by the arrow 50 such that the entire perforation is maintained within the limits of the cross seal 3 such that no opening is provided from the interior of the package 1 to the ambient.
  • figure 4 is indicated a situation where the corner 11 of the side flap 10 has been lifted relative to the package whereby a tear 8 initiated by the perforation 7 makes it possible to create an easy and substantially straight opening of the package.
