Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a packaging according to the preamble of claim 1, as well as to a thermoforming packaging machine suitable for carrying out this method and to a packaging producible by the method or by the thermoforming packaging machine.
  • thermoforming packaging machines The production of packaging by thermoforming packaging machines is widespread.
  • Such a thermoforming packaging machine in which packaging trays are deep-drawn into a packaging film that is usually made of plastic and filled with a product, is in the DE 10 2007 013 698 A1 described.
  • the DE 10 2007 013 698 A1 already discloses that the properties of the packaging, in particular the gas permeability of the packaging material, can have a considerable influence on the durability of perishable goods contained in the packaging.
  • This product may be food in particular.
  • the EP 0 872 164 B1 and the WO 2008/0466553 A1 disclose devices for generating microwave plasmas. These two documents suggest that workpieces may be coated by a plasma treatment, exposing them to the microwave plasma generated by the devices. However, the two documents have no relation to packaging or packaging processes.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve a method for producing a packaging, a thermoforming packaging machine and a packaging itself in such a way that, with structurally simple means as possible, a longer shelf life of the packaged products is achieved.
  • the inventive method is characterized in that at least the inside and / or outside of the packaging tray is coated after forming the packaging tray with a barrier layer.
  • This gas barrier layer affects the gas permeability of the packaging film, in particular the permeability to oxygen.
  • the barrier layer extends the shelf life of a packaged product.
  • the application of the barrier layer on the packaging tray after forming the packaging tray has the advantage over the theoretically also possible use of a previously coated before forming the packaging tray packaging film that excessive stretching and stress of the barrier layer is avoided when forming the packaging tray. This makes it possible to use very thin barrier layers in the invention.
  • the coating with the gas barrier layer takes place before filling the packaging trough with a product. In this way, the coating can be carried out without the possibly disturbing presence of the product.
  • the coating of the outside of the packaging can take place after the production of the entire package, ie after closing the packaging tray with the top film.
  • This variant has the advantage that even very thin or flexible films can be coated, in particular skin films. After applying the skin film used as the top film to the product under a vacuum, the skin film can not move. In this way, a spalling of the subsequently applied gas-barrier layer is avoided.
  • the barrier layer has an oxygen content of less than 10 cc per (m 2 x 24 hours x pressure difference [bar]). In other words, in this case, a volume of less than 10 cc per every square meter of the packaging film provided with the barrier layer occurs per 1 bar pressure difference in 24 hours. This very low oxygen penetration rate ensures a very long shelf life of the product in the packaging.
  • the plasma required for the plasma coating can be produced, for example, in a packaging machine used to produce the packaging itself.
  • the plasma coating apparatus is integrated into the packaging machine, and the entire packaging machine is much more compact than if an additional plasma coating system would be provided.
  • the inventive method is particularly suitable for use of a biodegradable packaging film.
  • Very low gas penetration rates could also be achieved with conventional multilayer films, for example an EVOH film (ethylene-vinyl alcohol film).
  • EVOH film ethylene-vinyl alcohol film
  • these had the disadvantage that they had to be comparatively thick, and that the gas barrier layer in the EVOH film was sensitive to moisture. Consequently, this barrier layer could become more gas-permeable again, for example, if moist food was included in the packaging. This reduced the shelf life.
  • Biodegradable films for example bioplastic films such as e.g. PLA (polylactide, polylactic acid) are usually very permeable to gas.
  • PLA polylactide, polylactic acid
  • the method according to the invention now makes it possible to apply a very thin barrier layer to these films in order to reduce their gas permeability without appreciably impairing the advantage of the biodegradability of these films.
  • the barrier layer itself may comprise or consist of, for example, SiOx and / or A10x.
  • the invention also relates to a thermoforming packaging machine with a forming station for forming packaging trays in a packaging film, as well as with a filling station. Between the forming station and the filling station and / or downstream of a station for closing the packaging troughs with a top film, a coating station is provided according to the invention and designed to coat at least the inside and / or the outside of the packaging trough with a barrier layer.
  • the coating station may be configured to apply a barrier layer having a thickness of less than one micron. Even with such a very thin layer, the gas permeability of the packaging material can be severely restricted.
  • the invention relates to a packaging with a formed from a thermoformable packaging film packaging tray in which the inside and / or outside of the packaging tray is coated with a barrier layer.
  • the packaging film is preferably biodegradable.
  • the packaging film provided with the barrier layer has an oxygen permeability of less than 10 cc per (m 2 x 24 hours x pressure difference [bar]).
  • the barrier layer is insensitive to moisture.
  • it is particularly suitable for use in a package, are packed with the moist food.
  • the barrier layer may comprise silicon oxide (SiOx) and / or aluminum oxide (A10x).
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a packaging machine 1 according to the invention in the form of a thermoforming packaging machine.
  • the packaging machine 1 has a forming station 2.
  • packaging trays 5 are formed by deep drawing in a withdrawn from a film roll 3 packaging film.
  • a product 7 is introduced into the packaging troughs 5.
  • This product 7 may be a food, preferably a food 7 with a certain humidity.
  • a sealing station 8 of the packaging machine 1 is used to close the packaging troughs 5 with a top film 9.
  • the top film 9, which may be a sealable plastic film as in the packaging film 4, is pulled off from another film roll 10. Via a roller guide 11, the upper film 9 enters the sealing station. 8
  • a hermetically sealed sealing chamber can be formed around the packaging trough 5.
  • This sealing chamber is evacuated and possibly fumigated with a replacement gas before a sealing tool the upper film 9 is attached to the packaging tray 5, preferably to the edges of the packaging tray 5.
  • the over the packaging tray 5 protruding part of the top film 9 can still in the sealing station 8 of the now sealed packaging 13 are separated.
  • the remaining film grid 14 of the upper film 9 is fed to a Restfolienaufwickler 15 and collected there.
  • a cross-cutting device 16 and a longitudinal cutting device 17 ensure a separation of the packaging 13 still present in the composite of the packaging film 4.
  • a conveyor belt 18 serves to remove the finished and separated packaging 13.
  • a coating station 19 is provided between the forming station 2 and the filling station 6.
  • the coating station 19 is a plasma coating station 19.
  • the coating station 19 integrated into the packaging machine 1 has one, for example, from the WO 2008/046553 A1 known plasma generating device 20, which in FIG. 1 also shown only schematically.
  • the plasma generated by the plasma generating device 20 is used to seal the inside and / or outside of the packaging troughs 5 in the coating station 19 by means of plasma coating or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a thin barrier layer.
  • PECVD plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
  • this packaging machine 1 is operated cyclically or cyclically. In each work cycle, a portion of the packaging film 4 is removed from the film roll 3. At standstill of the packaging film 4, the forming station 2 closes to deep draw a packaging tray 5 or a box of adjacent packaging trays 5 in the packaging film 4.
  • the packaging troughs 5 Upon further transport, the packaging troughs 5 reach the coating station 9, in which their inner and / or outer side is provided with a thin gas barrier layer.
  • the packaging troughs 5 were filled in the filling station 6 with a product 7, they get into the sealing station 8. There, a vacuum is generated in the packaging troughs 5 and / or a replacement gas (mixture) in the packaging troughs 5 before the packaging troughs. 5 sealed with the top film 9 gas-tight.
  • the packages 13 are separated by means of the transverse and longitudinal cutting devices 16, 17.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic vertical section through an embodiment of a package 13 according to the invention, which can be produced with the packaging machine 1.
  • the package 13 has a packaging tray 5, which is formed by deep drawing in the packaging film 4.
  • the packaging film 4 is a packaging film made of a biodegradable plastic, also referred to as bioplastic or bioplastic.
  • bioplastic or bioplastic for example, it can be PLA (polyactide, polylactic acid).
  • the packaging tray 5 has an inner side 21 and an outer side 22.
  • the gas barrier layer 23 has a thickness of less than one micron. It is insensitive to moisture, ie it does not change its properties under the influence of moisture.
  • the barrier layer 23 can made of SiOx or AIOx.
  • the region of the packaging film 4 provided with the barrier layer 23 has a gas permeability, in particular for oxygen, of less than 10 cc per (m 2 x 24 hours x pressure difference [bar]). This ensures that only a negligible amount of oxygen can enter the package 13, so that the product 7 contained in the package 13 is given a long shelf life.
  • a top film 9 is sealed, which also provides a gas-tight closure of the package 13.
  • the packaging machine 1 according to the invention, the method according to the invention or the packaging 13 according to the invention can be modified in many ways.
  • a particularly gas-tight packaging 13 can be provided.
  • a coating station 19 can also be arranged downstream of the sealing station 8, in particular between the sealing station 8 and the separating device 16. This variant is particularly suitable when a very thin film is used as the upper film 9, for example a skin film which only after application to the packaging tray 5 has a sufficiently high dimensional stability.
  • a coating station 19 located downstream of the sealing station 8 the entire outside of the package 13 can be provided with a gas barrier layer 23, ie the outside 22 of the packaging tray 5 and the outside of the top film 9.
  • the outer and / or inner side of the upper film 9, ie the side of the upper film 9 facing away from the packaging trough 5, is also coated with a gas barrier layer 23.
  • a (further) coating station 19 may be provided in the region of the feed of the upper film 9 to the sealing station 8.
  • the gas barrier layer 23 an aluminum layer which is applied by vapor deposition to the packaging trough 5 and / or to the top film 9.
  • a disadvantage of an aluminum coating may be that the areas of the packaging 13 coated therewith are no longer transparent.
  • a coating, for example, with aluminum oxide and / or silicon oxide has the advantage that a loss of transparency of only a maximum of 20 percent occurs, so that even the areas provided with the barrier layer 23 of the package 13 remain transparent.
