Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for cutting a cover film according to claim 1 and to a closing station for a tray sealing machine according to claim 8.
  • Shell sealing machines are known in the art which cut a lidding film in a sealing station prior to application to the tray to be sealed.
  • a knife is attached to a sealing frame so that it protrudes so far in the direction of movement that the cover sheet is cut before the cut lid sheet is clamped by a sealing frame on the shell and then sealed.
  • the disadvantage of this design is a non-process-safe position of the cut lid film on the shell.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for cutting a lidding film and a closing station of a tray sealing machine, in which the disadvantages described above can be eliminated.
  • This method allows the cover sheet to be cut after the lid sheet is clamped to the tray by means of the sealing frame, without the need for any additional device for moving the knives against the sheet. This leads to a cost cutting.
  • the relative movement of the sealing frame with the shell receptacle and the second region of the cover film and the shell is carried out in the direction of the tool lower part.
  • the movement of the sealing frame for clamping the lidding film on the tray for the following cutting operation can be maintained in the same direction of actuation to perform both functions in one movement.
  • a region of the cover film which is located between the first and second regions of the cover film, is biased by the relative movement obliquely. This inclination causes the contact with the knife.
  • the knife cuts the lid foil between a sealed seam and a shell outer edge.
  • This method allows the lid sheet to be cut near an outer edge of a sealed seam after the lid sheet has been securely clamped to the tray by means of the sealing frame. This leads to a visually very appealing appearance of the packaging, since there is no loose over the sealing seam protruding lid foil.
  • the cutting of the lidding film is carried out prior to sealing the lidding sheet to the tray.
  • the cover film is cut by the knife before the shell receptacle strikes against the lower tool part.
  • the cutting of the cover film for all shells located in the Versch.station takes place simultaneously.
  • the sealing frame preferably generates a sealing force on the cover foil and shell.
  • the sealing force acts as a counter-pressure system, the lower tool part of the capping station.
  • the interior of the shell is preferably evacuated and / or fumigated before sealing to achieve a long shelf life when a product is a foodstuff.
  • the closing station according to the invention for a tray sealing machine has a tool upper part and a tool lower part for clamping the lid film in a first area, as well as a sealing frame and a tray receptacle for clamping a lid film to a tray in a second area.
  • the closing station further comprises a lifting device for the sealing frame, and a knife for cutting the lid film is attached to the sealing frame or tool base.
  • the sealing frame and the shell receptacle together with the second region of the cover film and the shell are movable relative to the tool lower part.
  • a closing station can be carried out inexpensively and in a space-saving manner.
  • the lateral distance of the blade from the sealing frame is preferably less than 5 mm, more preferably less than 3 mm.
  • the leading edge of the knife may be set back from the sealing frame, even or slightly overhanging.
  • the lifting movement of the sealing frame is preferably 4 mm to 8 mm.
  • the distance from the knife to the inside of the upper tool or tool lower part is preferably 2 mm to 4mm.
  • the knife is preferably formed annularly corresponding to the outer contour of the sealed seam.
  • the lifting device of the closing device is advantageously suitable for generating a sealing force via the sealing frame on the cover film and the shell in the region of the sealed seam in a position in which the shell receptacle comes into contact with the tool lower part.
  • 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 is arranged for closing and optionally for sealing and / or evacuating and / or gassing of supplied, cup-shaped containers, as well as for cutting a cover film used for closing.
  • the closing station 3 is located under a protective cover 4.
  • the packaging machine 1 further has 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 supplying a cover film 8 shown only in sections, and a Restfolienaufwickler 9 for winding the remaining after sealing film web Lid film 8.
  • 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 a vertical sectional view of a closing station 3 according to the invention with the FolienzuGermanrolle 7 and the Restfolienetzwickler 9 for the cover sheet 8.
  • a lifting device 12 for a sealing frame 13, to which a knife 14 is mounted, is accommodated in a tool upper part 15.
  • the tool lower part 16 has a guide 17 for a tray receptacle 18 with at least one (pressure) spring 19.
  • a filled with a product tray 20 with a circumferential and downwardly additionally angled edge is inserted by a handling device, not shown, or manually in the tray receptacle 18 Service.
  • a handling device not shown, or manually in the tray receptacle 18 Service.
  • Only one shell 20 is shown. In practice, a plurality of successively adjacent and / or adjacent shells are simultaneously closed in a wear station with the cover sheet.
  • the lid sheet 8 is clamped circumferentially by the upper die 15 and the lower tool part 16. This area where the lidding film 8 is clamped is defined as a first area. In this position, the upper tool part 15 and the lower tool part 16 form a closed chamber which is evacuated and / or gassed.
  • the sealing frame 13 by means of the lifting device 12 in the direction R down and clamps the lid sheet 8 in a second region of the shell 20, which is supported by the shell receptacle 18.
  • the clamping force corresponds approximately to the spring force by the springs 19th
  • the sealing frame 13 moves toward the tool base 16.
  • the tray receptacle 18 moves relative to the tool base 16 down.
  • the springs 19 are compressed so far until the tray receptacle 18 abuts the lower tool part 16.
  • the shell 20 is moved downwards with the second region of the cover film 8 relative to the tool lower part 16 and also to the upper tool part 15. This leads to a tension in the region of the cover film 8, which is not clamped in a second region by the sealing frame 13 and the shell receptacle 18 or in a first region by the upper tool part 15 and the lower tool part 16.
  • the cover sheet 8 comes into contact with the knife 14 and is cut.
  • the knife 14 preferably has a serrated shape, which facilitates the cutting process.
  • the cover film 8 is, for example, a plastic film or a multilayer film, which may also be shrinkable or skinnable.
  • FIG. 6 It is shown that the sealing frame 8 presses further on the shell receptacle 18 in order to produce the sealing force Fs, which is necessary in order to seal the cover film 8 to the shell 20 in the region of the sealing seam 22 airtight.
  • FIG. 8 A variant of the arrangement of the blade 14 is in FIG. 8 shown.
  • the knife 14 is mounted on the tool lower part 16, wherein the front edge of the knife is very close to the tray receptacle 18 to cut the lid film 8 directly on the outer edge of the package.
  • FIG. 9 It is shown how the cover film 8 is cut by the knife 14 by the relative movement R of the sealing frame 13 with the shell receptacle 18 together with the second region of the cover film 8 and the shell 20 with respect to the tool lower part 16.
