Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a packaging machine for carrying out such a method.
  • Packaging machines for closing already preformed and individualized containers are known in the form of so-called tray sealing machines ("tray sealers"), for example from US Pat DE 10 2006 018 327 A1 , Such machines are fed with already preformed and individualized trays, which are usually stored stacked after molding. The containers are removed from the stock individually and placed on a conveyor belt, where they are filled from above with a product. Subsequently, in the conventional tray sealing machine, a sealing film is applied to the upwardly open trays which both close and seal the trays.
  • Packaging machines with a punching or forming station for a cover film are made DE 22 59 556 A1 .
  • Object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages with structurally simple means possible.
  • thermoforming offers the advantage that the packaging significantly better than before the respective Product can be adjusted, although the containers are already preformed. In particular, products projecting beyond the edge of the container can also be accommodated in the containers without the lid film being stretched over the product.
  • aesthetic advantages since the top of the packaging, in contrast to conventional tray sealing machines no longer needs to be flat, but can be structured.
  • the lidding film is heated in front of the former and / or in the former to allow deep drawing. Preheating the lidding film in front of the former can speed up deep drawing and reduce unnecessary delays of other components of the packaging machine.
  • the cover film prefferably be deep-drawn in its entirety or at least in sections to the side of the cover film facing the container when it is closed. In this way, a lid portion is formed in the lid film, which protrudes into the interior of the container. This is particularly suitable for products or areas of a product that are lower than the edge of the container.
  • the cover film could be deep-drawn in its entirety or at least in sections to the side of the cover film facing away from the container when closing it. In this way, a dome-shaped cover portion is formed, which protrudes upwards over the container edge and allows the inclusion of supernatant products, without the lid film spans over the product.
  • At least one concave and / or one convex section may be formed during deep drawing on the side of the lid foil facing the container when closing. They may facilitate the abutment of complementary shaped areas of the products on the lid, for example to prevent slipping of the products in the containers.
  • the shaping device can be provided separately from the closing station. However, the entire packaging machine becomes more compact and thus the process less expensive when the deep drawing is carried out within the Versch.station itself.
  • cover film a flexible film or a hard film could be used, provided that they can be suitably deep-drawn.
  • a multilayer film is used as the cover film.
  • a cover film it would be conceivable to use a combination of an oxygen-impermeable outer layer and an oxygen-permeable inner layer in order to allow oxygen to flow around the products.
  • the lidding film or the cover section formed in it is placed on the respective containers only in the form of a "slip lid" by positive locking.
  • the lid portion may snap on an edge of the container to securely connect the lid to the container.
  • the lidding film is sealed onto the container, in particular if the interior of the container is to be sealed airtight.
  • the transport of the closed containers, which are connected to the lidding film, from the closing station can ensure that further lidding film is used, which serves to close subsequent containers. In this way, it would be possible to dispense with a separate conveying device for the cover film.
  • the invention also relates to a packaging machine for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • This packaging machine has a forming device for deep drawing the thermoformable lid film.
  • the molding device has an exchangeable insert which determines the deformation of the cover film relative to a cover section.
  • This insert can be replaced if it is worn, or if another form of lid for the container is to be made.
  • the tensile force on the lid film may not be sufficient only by moving the closed container still connected to the lid film.
  • a separate conveyor for the cover film is provided, for example a clamp chain arranged on both sides, which can also serve for laterally tensioning the cover film.
  • the packaging machine according to the invention preferably has a tool for placing and / or sealing the lid film on the containers. In this tool thus the actual closing of the container.
  • the tool itself may comprise a lower tool and an upper tool, which are movable relative to each other. Thus, they can open to receive the unclosed container and to close and possibly evacuate and / or fumigate the container to reduce the space occupied between them.
  • the lower tool and the upper tool can be spaced from each other by the relative movement at least as far as the sum of the height of a container and the height of a lid portion of the lid film.
  • the closing tool also allows the inclusion of containers in which the product and the lid over the edge of the container survive.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a packaging machine 1 according to the invention.
  • a packaging machine 1 is a tray sealing machine ("Traysealer").
  • the packaging machine 1 has a Machine frame 2, on which a closing station 3 for closing and optionally for evacuating, gassing and / or sealing of supplied, cup-shaped containers and for cutting a lid foil used for closing is arranged.
  • the closing station 3 is located under an openable hood 4.
  • the packaging machine 1 further comprises a feed belt 5 for feeding the containers, a discharge belt 6 for transporting the sealed containers, a film feed roller 7 for receiving and feeding a roll of a lid film, a film tensioning device 8 for tensioning the lid film, and a Folienrestaufwickler 9 for winding the after sealing, remaining film residues.
  • a display 10 allows the operator of the packaging machine 1 to check and control the operation of the packaging machine 1. On the display 10 for this purpose controls 11 may be provided, such as panels or switches to affect the operation of the packaging machine 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows in a first embodiment of the packaging machine 1 according to the invention in a schematic view a vertical section through the closing station 3.

  • FIG. 2 It can be seen that an edge 20 of the container rests on an edge of the lifting table 16 or the trough 18. It can also be seen that the container 19 with a product 21 is filled, which projects beyond the plane formed by the edge 20 of the container 19 upwards.
  • the upper tool 13 is constructed more expensive. It in turn has three tool components, which can be moved within the upper tool 13 both independently of one another, and independently of the outer wall 22 of the upper tool 13 in the vertical direction relative to each other.
  • the innermost tool component is a molding device 23 for molding a cover section in the single or multi-layer cover film 24 brought up by the film feed roller 7.
  • the molding device 23 is concave on the surface 25 facing the container 19.

  • the tool 12 may moreover have means for evacuating and / or gassing the chamber 15 formed between the upper and lower dies 13, 14.
  • thermoformable cover film 24 passes over a first deflection roller 30 and is deflected there so that it passes through the interior of the tool 12 substantially parallel to the plane formed by the edge 20 of the container 19.
  • the remaining portions of the cover sheet 24 remaining after closing the containers 19 and punching out the lid portions pass via a second deflection roller 31 to a residual film winder 9 in order to be collected there.
  • a film tensioning device 8 which in FIG. 2 the sake of clarity is no longer shown.
  • a pre-heater 32 is provided between the film feed roller 7 and the first guide roller 30 .
  • the heating device 32 may be a heating plate which is heated, for example, by a thermal fluid or electrical heating means.
  • the heater 32 serves to heat a predetermined portion 33 of the lidding film 24 to a temperature which allows thermoplastic molding of the lidding film 24 in a deep drawing operation.
