Definitions

  • the DE 25 28 703 A1 discloses such a device for consumer products. In comparison with the device described above, this device also has a sack bottom support, with which the sack bottom during filling can be supported.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a method and a device with which a packaging material suitable for consumer products can be produced and filled and which reduces the manufacturing and filling costs of this packaging.
  • bags are formed which have been filled through one of their two wider sides.
  • the increase in efficiency achieved by the process can be partly explained by the fact that the bulk materials with which the sacks are filled are gravity-poured through a wide opening into the bags. The still open opening through which the filling has been made, as mentioned above, then sealed with a transverse weld.
  • the two broad sides of the bag thus produced are formed by the transverse welds.
  • the narrower sides are represented by the original edges of the hose. It has proved to be advantageous if the tube on which the bag is based, at least at one of its edges - advantageously on all two - has a gusset. In this case, the often unfolded as a result of the filling gusset can serve as a bottom of the bag. So the sack can stand on one of its narrow sides.
  • an opening aid This can be introduced into the edge region of the hose - after or before its separation.
  • Such an opening aid may consist in a perforation.
  • alternative methods of material weakening can be used, or it can be material be used, which is weakened at a certain point from the beginning.
  • a hose machine at the relevant point of the circumference of the hose run along a perforator. This location can be the middle fold of the gusset.
  • components of reclosures such as slide rails can be introduced in the often continuous tube formation in the tubing.
  • the term dividing line and transverse weld can be explained again.
  • the transverse weld and the separating cut are performed.
  • the separating cut is located on the side of the transverse weld on which the opening of the next piece of tubing, which has not yet been opened, is located. This ensures that this opening remains open for filling.
  • the term working width is known as the distance between the edges of the flattened tube, that is, the tube width.
  • the maximum working width of such an FFS machine is an important machine characteristic that is determined by the various machine components of the machine. These machine components include, among others, the welding and separating devices, the various transport devices - here the gripping devices are not negligible - and the unwinding station. Of course, the maximum working widths of these components are matched.
  • the maximum working width of the machine should be based on the machine component with the smallest working width.
  • the bag bottom and, in particular, the still fresh first transverse weld seam are supported during filling by a bag bottom support device.
  • This bag bottom support device often serves at the same time for the removal of the bags from the filling station.
  • the Sack foundedunterstützungs- and transport device is often configured as a conveyor belt 24.
  • other mobile and stationary bag bottom support devices are also in use at this point.
  • the maximum working width of the device is greater than or equal to the distance (A), the support surface of the bag bottom support device and the opening of the unilaterally open hose pieces in the filling station in the vertical direction (y) to each other. If there is a height difference within the support surface of the bag bottom support device, it is advantageous to use that part of the surface which supports the fresh transverse weld to measure the distance. Furthermore, it has proved to be advantageous to use the - of course in the vertical direction - deepest part of the activated or the activatable contact surface of the support surface of the bag bottom support device for this purpose.
  • the activated area is the area that corresponds to the set working width is occupied by the bag bottom.
  • the activatable area is the area occupied by a bag bottom of maximum working width.
  • FIG. 1 shows an FFS machine.
  • This device 1 comprises a support arm 2, on which a winding 3 with tubular film 4 rests.
  • the tubular film 4 has in FIG. 1 not shown gussets 41.
  • the transport rollers 5, which can also be driven in part, provide for a, usually continuous, development of the tubular film 4.
  • the acted upon by a piston-cylinder unit 10 with a load lever 9, which carries a guide roller 6 and a total is often referred to as a dancer, and the transport roller 7, 8 and the feed roller pair 15 provide a total of known per se for the fact that the tubular film 4 is intermittently moved on their further transport cycle intermittently.
  • the transport roller 8a is part of a register device 29, with which the length of the transport path of the tubular film 4 can be adapted to the format of the later bags.
  • the transport roller 8a is arranged relative to the device 1 so as to be displaceable.
  • To move is a manual or electric motor operated and known per se spindle drive available.
  • the tubular film 4 passes through a station 28 for the introduction of grip holes 43.
  • This station 28 consists essentially of a punching or cutting tool and an abutment. It is possible, instead of or in addition to this station 28, to provide means for applying welds, for example diagonal or corner welds 46 and / or contour welds.
  • a station 69 for introducing Eckabsch bulkungen 46 located in the station 28 for introducing Grifflöchern 43 a station 69 for introducing Eckabsch bulklessness 46 located.
  • the representation in FIG. 1 leaves open whether the respective stations 28 and 69 can handle holes 23 or Eckabsch contendungen 46 at both edges 50 and 51 of the tubular material 4 or whether they can do so only on one side 50, 51.
  • the station 69 it is advantageous to set up at least the station 69 such that it optionally generates corner welds 50, 51 on one side 50, 51 or on both sides.
  • the pouches 60 shown below, the corner welds 46 on only one of their sides 51, or normal FFS sacks with four corner welds 46 may be made.
  • An advantageous way of such a connectability is an activatability or deactivability of at least one processing page via a control device. Since the bag 60 contains corner welds on one of its sides 51 and hold holes 43 on the other side 50, the above also applies in principle to the station 28 for the insertion of handle holes 43.
  • a station 28 for inserting handle holes 43 may be combined with a device that provides joining seams 52. If such a device is introduced into the device 1 independently of the station 28, the same applies to its positioning to the tube edges 50, 51 and for their controllability as for the station 28th The punching or cutting process or the welding process at these stations is advantageously carried out during the stoppage phases of the intermittent transport. About further transport rollers 8 provided with handle holes 43 tubular film 4 is conveyed to a cooling station 12, in which the welds are cooled.
  • the tubular film 4 is pushed through the welding jaws 33 of a transverse welding station 13 and through a cross-cutting station 16.
  • the tools of the transverse welding station 13 and the cross cutting station 16 can be moved in a manner not described in detail, for example by a parallelogram 14, in planes orthogonal to the feed direction of the tubular film 4 to and from this.
  • a piece of tubing 18 is separated from the tubular film 4 above the gripper 17 in the cross-cutting station 16.
  • a transverse weld 42 is attached, which represents the bottom or the head side of the hose piece 18 to be formed in the next working cycle of the device 1. Accordingly, 13 head seams are generated in the transverse welding station.
  • the manufacture of the head or bottom seams may not only be effected by transverse welding, although preferably, but also other joining methods, such as gluing, are conceivable.
  • the grippers 17 convey the tube piece 18 to a transfer point at which further grippers 19 grasp the tube piece 18 and transport it to a filling station 20. There, the tube piece 18 is transferred to stationary gripper 21 and opened by the suckers 22, so that the contents, which is passed through the filler neck 23, can get into the tube piece 18.
  • the tube piece 18 rests with its lower end on a conveyor belt 24, so that the hose piece 18 is not excessively loaded along its longitudinal edges during the filling process.
  • Further grippers 25 convey the filled tube piece to the head or bottom seam welding station 26, in which the tube piece 18 is closed with a top or bottom weld seam and thus forms a finished bag 27. Also, the closing of the tube piece 18 in its head area can be done by a different joining method.
  • the finished bag 27 is guided out of the device 1 by the conveyor belt 24. Here, the bag 27 is much higher (in the y-direction) than wide (in the x-direction).
  • the material intake of the hose piece 18 and its weight distribution are often not symmetrical with respect to the main axis of symmetry 65.
  • the vibrator can be arranged acentric to the main symmetry line 65 of the tube 4. Furthermore, it is - due to the inter alia below based on FIG.
  • FIG. 4 explained embodiment of many preferred bag 60 is advantageous if the central region of the support surface 58 relative to a horizontal 66 has an angle ⁇ . This situation is in FIG. 5 shown. It is advantageous to provide the FFS machine with pivotable support surfaces, which is indicated by the arrow 57. In a device 1 as in FIG. 1 is shown, it is possible to pivot the support surfaces 58 relative to the conveyor belt 24. However, the entire conveyor belt 24 can also be “tilted” in the desired manner. In FIG. 1 Also shown is a vibrator 72, which is mounted below the filling station below the conveying bath and which can impart vibrations to the bag 28 in the filling station in order to compact the filled material. Bag 60, as in FIG. 4 are shown form after filling a predominantly circular cylindrical cross-section.
  • FIG. 5 It is therefore advantageous to those in FIG. 5 just illustrated support surface trough or trough shape out.
  • Due to the Eckabsch spatician 46 has the filled bag 60 in the side view of a trapezoidal shape, that is, that the diameter at the in FIG. 4 shown bag increases - ie here in the x direction - increases.
  • the cross-sectional area of the bag 60 in FIG. 4 So behaves at least partially like that of an upside-down circular cone is so truncated cone.
  • the support surface 58 for the production of these bags is also adapted to their cross-sectional shape and is shaped like the negative of this truncated cone shape of the bag 60. But now again to a more detailed description of FIGS.
  • a film tube 4 which is suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention is disclosed in US Pat FIG. 2 shown.
  • FIG. 2 is shown for the sake of clarity, as the film tube 4 is subtracted from the winding 3 in the direction of its main axis of symmetry (dotted line) 65. Between its edges 50 and 51, this hose 4 has a width 64.
  • the hose is an unprocessed flat or gusseted hose.
  • hose shown has some additional features such as the gripping holes 43 and the longitudinal slot 52.
  • the longitudinal gap 52 can be produced in the hose formation, for example by the addition of extrudate.
  • This embodiment of the bag can also be advantageously combined with a side fold 41 on the other edge 51 of the tube 4.
  • the area of the gusset 41 at the edge 51 later forms the bottom of the bag 60 and improves its stance properties.
  • the dotted lines 62 indicate the position of the later cuts and transverse welds 42.
  • FIG. 3 is an unfilled, unilaterally open hose piece 18 to see. Much of its features are already in relation to the hose 4 in FIG. 1 been mentioned.
  • the length of tubing 18 includes the corner welds 46, the zipper 54, and the transverse weld 42 attached thereto 18 in the dedicated equipment of an FFS machine.
  • the tube piece 18 hangs on the grippers 21 in the filling station and is ready to be filled through its opening 62, as indicated by the arrow 56.
  • FIG. 3 It can also be seen that the axis of symmetry 70 of the filler neck 23 is displaced with respect to the main axis of symmetry 65 of the hose.
  • FIG. 4 a filled bag 60 can be seen. He has again largely the same features as the hose 4 in FIG. 2 and the hose piece 18 in FIG. 3 , The bag 60, however, stands on the tube edge 52, which has a gusset 41, which here forms a stable floor. As already mentioned, due to the corner welds 46, a trapezoidal front surface of the filled bag is formed.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show the Eckabsch experience in the FIGS. 4 and 5 shown in an arc, since they are pressed in filled bags 60 or pieces of hose against the outer walls of the respective packaging semi-finished product 60, 18.
  • the transverse welds 42 which received the semi-finished bag products 4, 18 on the way through the FFS machine, now form the side walls of the bag 60.
  • FIG. 5 is to see a already filled through its opening 62 hose piece 18, which again provides a trapezoidal front view.
