Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-lane tray sealing machine for closing trays with a cover film on two double tracks with the features of claim 1.
  • the Applicant is known a tray sealing machine in which to be sealed trays are taken over by a gripper pair of a feed belt and transported in a sealing tool.
  • the gripper pair detects the shells by two gripper arms approach each other laterally of the shells until the shells are securely gripped and can be transported independently of the movement of the feed belt.
  • a two-lane cup sealer described which also has a pair of grippers to transport trays from a feed belt in a sealing tool.
  • a vertical system is provided between the two tracks.
  • the gripper pair detects by means of a gripper arm provided laterally of the shells on the feed belt by pressing the shells against the vertical abutment, respectively, and the gripper arms push the gripped shells along the system into the sealing station.
  • the applicant is aware of a multi-lane tray sealing machine, for example with four tracks.
  • the shell transport is carried out neither by means of grippers nor by means of conveyor belts.
  • Shell carriers are provided for the transport of the shells, which are guided laterally by means of a chain, wherein a drive of the chain provides for the advance of the shell carrier.
  • the tray carrier may be single row and provided for example for four tracks, with four adjacent cups be transported as a group.
  • Such tray sealing machines require little need, especially in terms of the width of the footprint in a production facility and have high performance due to their multi-track capability.
  • the power is defined as the number of packs to be produced per unit of time.
  • the object of the present invention is to be able to replace a preferably four-lane tray sealing machine with tray carriers for tray transport through a tray sealing machine with gripper arms with identical numbers of lanes and the same performance, which increases the flexibility and the downtime for retooling is to be reduced to different shell dimensions.
  • a four-sheet tray seaming machine has, on the one hand, a capacity which is approximately twice as high as that of a single two-track tray seaming machine and, on the other hand, a space requirement which is substantially less than that for two two-track tray closing machines.
  • a reduction in the space requirement of such a high capacity four-lane cupping machine makes it possible to replace or replace an existing tray sealing machine with tray carriers in an existing production plant.
  • the advantage is given to process trays on a double track, while the other double track including the tools of the workstation is cleaned, maintained or retrofitted. This may be the case, for example, in the case of a film change of the cover film in order to replace an empty roll with a new full roll.
  • the controller is designed to control the gripper, the workstation and the conveyor belts of the respective double track separately. This allows the processing of trays on a double track while the other double track is stationary. As a result, it is also possible to dimension an aggregate such as a vacuum pump smaller and thus more energy efficient, since the controller can control the processing of both double tracks in a staggered manner so that the vacuum pump is not required at the same time for evacuation at both workstations.
  • At least two control terminals are provided for independently processing trays on the first and second double tracks.
  • a further advantage of the invention is achieved in that a foil dispenser and a respective residual foil winder are provided for both double tracks, for example to seal shells with different cover foils.
  • the lidding films may have a different design for different customers, for example.
  • a separating device between the first and second double track is provided to ensure that work on a first double track can be performed safely by the operator despite continuing to operate second double track, such as a film or tool change.
  • the separator extends in the direction of production from the beginning of a transport range of the gripper arms along the workstation to the end of the transport range of the gripper arms to access by an operator To prevent power-operated elements of the opposite of the separator double track and thus exclude injuries.
  • an upper tool part and a lower tool part of the first workstation and a tool upper part and a lower tool part of the second workstation relative to the double tracks are opposite to each other transversely to the production direction of the tray sealing machine removable.
  • tool change and analogous a change of gripper arms are possible without having to make room between the double tracks space for the operator and to be able to limit the space requirement of the tray sealing machine to a minimum despite the highest performance.
  • the tray sealing machine comprises electrical and / or pneumatic switch boxes which are provided under feed devices or discharge devices, wherein the switch boxes have accessibility of an operator or service technician for maintenance purposes transversely to the production direction. This makes it possible to minimize the distance between the first and second work stations for each double track, since accessibility between the workstations is no longer necessary.
  • a distance between the first double track and the second double track is smaller than a width of the first or second double track in order to minimize the space requirement of the tray sealing machine.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a Schalenversch doublemaschine invention 1.
  • a frame 2 On a frame 2 is a first 3a and a second workstation 3b, in the present case, a gassing, sealing and cutting station.
  • the workstations each have a lower tool part 20 and a tool upper part 21.
  • a first 4a and a second feed conveyor 4b designed as conveyor belts, and a downstream first 5a and a second accumulation conveyor 5b (concealed in this view), designed as conveyor belts, transport filled trays 6 to the work station 3a, 3b.
  • a first 10a or a second lid foil 10b is pulled off and likewise guided into the workstations 3a, 3b.
  • a replacement gas MAP
  • the trays 6 are sealed airtight with the lid foil 10a, 10b drawn off from the foil dispenser 9a, 9b.
  • a cutting tool cuts the lidding film 10a, 10b.
  • the remaining film lattice of the film 10a, 10b is wound onto a first 11a or a second residual film winder 11b.
  • the closed and individualized packages 12 are deposited on a first 13a or on a second discharge belt 13b, designed as conveyor belts, and thus transported out of the workstations 3a, 3b or out of the tray closing machine 1 in the direction of production P.
  • Two operating terminals 14a, 14b visualize the operation and the operating state of the tray closing machine 1 and allow an operator to operate the tray closing machine 1.
  • control cabinets 30 are mounted below the feed belts 4a, 4b and the discharge belts 13a, 13b which are transverse to the direction of production P and facing away from the machine to open and thus are accessible.
  • the tray closing machine 1 which can process four tracks S of trays 6, is divisible into a direction of production P right part 1 a and a left part 1b, which processes a first DS1 and a second double track DS2.
  • a distance B perpendicular to the direction of production P between the first DS1 and the second double track DS2 in the area of the collecting conveyors 5a, 5b or in the region of the workstations 3a, 3b is less than a width A of the first DS1 or the second double track DS2.
  • the distance A is defined across the width of two adjacent shells on a double track DS1, DS2 of a feed belt 4a, 4b or discharge belts 13a, 13b.
  • the right-hand part 1a of the tray-closing machine 1 can be operated via the operating terminal 14a and the left-hand part 1b of the tray-closing machine 1 via the operating terminal 14b. It is also conceivable that only a common Operating terminal for both parts 1 a and 1b is provided. In this case, this can be attached to a pivotable arm 15 so as to be able to serve these from both sides of the tray closing machine 1.
  • a common control 16 may be provided in the control cabinet, which may be mounted in or on the tray sealing machine 1. It is also conceivable that two separate controls for both parts 1a and 1b are provided.
  • the controller 16 is connected to the operator terminals 14a, 14b for data exchange.
  • Both parts 1 a and 1 b of the tray sealing machine 1 each have a work station 3a, 3b, a collecting conveyor 5a, 5b, a discharge conveyor 13a, 13b, a gripper 7a, 7b with two gripper arms 8, a film dispenser 9a, 9b, a lid film 10a, 10b and a residual film winder 11a, 11b.
  • Between the two parts 1 a and 1 b provides a separator 17 for a safety separation of both parts 1a, 1b of the Schalenverschbeckmaschine 1.
  • the separator 17 ensures that no operator of the part 1 a in the working area of the part 1 b and vice versa with parts of his body.
  • the part 1a seals shells 6 with a lidding film 10
  • the part 1b can be cleaned or maintained. It is also a tool change on the workstation 3a, 3b possible. Depending on the amount of supplied shells 6, both parts 1 a and 1 b can be operated with different power.
