Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gable press for use with the aforementioned device.
  • Composite packaging is understood to mean packaging made of a packaging material that consists of several materials bonded together over the entire surface, such as cardboard and plastic.
  • the liquid food may be, for example, drinks, soups, yogurt or the like.
  • Many known devices and methods are intended to produce packages that are cuboidal.
  • the production of packaging with decreasing cross-sectional area in the gable area in the pouring direction places particular demands on the machines on which the packaging is produced.
  • the process steps are to be adapted to methods for producing parallelepipedic packages.
  • a container for a liquid product and a method for producing and filling the container are known from EP 1 503 940 B1 known.
  • the container has in its upper region the shape of a truncated pyramid. This shape is supported by a suitably shaped pouring element which is inserted into the upper area of the packaging.
  • the preparation of the packaging takes place, as often, using a rotatable mandrel wheel and is based on the figures 10 to 15 of EP 1 503 940 B1 shown.
  • a disadvantage of the device shown and of the method described is that the folding and sealing of the gable area of the packaging take place as separate working steps in separate positions of the mandrel wheel. This has the consequence that the production is complicated and inefficient.
  • WO 2005/113222 A1 For example, another apparatus and method for producing a package is known.
  • the packaging shown here also has in its upper region a decreasing in the pouring cross-sectional area.
  • a rotating mandrel wheel is used to produce the packages.
  • it is also disadvantageous in this device and this method that only two opposite gable surfaces can be connected to the pouring element in a mandrel wheel position. In a package with a square shell cross section therefore two Dornrad einen must be traversed to fold the four gable surfaces and to seal them with the pouring element. This results in an increase in the number of work steps and thus a reduction in the efficiency of the process management result.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, the above-mentioned and previously described in more detail device and the corresponding method in such a way and further, that a simpler and thus more cost-effective production is possible.
  • the number of mandrels can be reduced and, if necessary, a smaller mandrel wheel can be used.
  • the freed thorns can be assigned other work steps.
  • the energy to be introduced can be used effectively to create the compound.
  • the connections between the gable surfaces and the pouring element are produced in particular by heating and pressing. Alternatively or additionally, welding and / or bonding methods can be used.
  • the compounds produced are preferably gas-tight and / or liquid-tight, which is why sealing is often used.
  • the cross-sectional area of Packaging should decrease especially in the gable area of the packaging in the pouring.
  • the pouring direction is understood to mean any direction which points from the bottom region of the packaging to the pouring opening.
  • the gable area may have the shape of a pyramid or a truncated pyramid.
  • the gable region may have the shape of a tetrahedron or a tetrahedral stump.
  • a gable area which has the shape of a cone or a truncated cone.
  • the pouring element also preferably has a corresponding shape, at least in its areas assigned to the gable surfaces.
  • the tips of the mandrels can be shaped according to the form of the gable to be formed. Due to the decrease in the cross-section, excess packaging material forms protruding folds during shaping of the gable area, which are also referred to as ears.
  • the sealing of the ears is understood as sealing the packaging in the area of the ears. This is to be differentiated from the putting on and pinning of the ears.
  • the device has an ear press for folding and attaching the ears.
  • the ear press can preferably all ears, which have arisen during molding of the gable area, in the same mandrel wheel position and attach to the adjacent gable surfaces.
  • a separate tool for transferring and stapling may be provided for each ear.
  • the sealing of the ears can be done by heating and pressing respectively. Alternatively or additionally, welding and / or bonding methods can be used.
  • the device has a slide for moving the shell on a mandrel from an intermediate position to an end position.
  • the slider allows the sheaths to be displaced between two axially spaced positions on the mandrel.
  • the intermediate position represents a position in which the sheath is not yet pushed completely onto the mandrel and is therefore located axially further outward than in the end position.
  • the gable portion of the shell is in the intermediate position beyond the end of the mandrel and is therefore particularly accessible. This may be advantageous in a pretreatment, such as by heating.
  • the device may comprise at least one heating device for heating the gable region of the jacket.
  • the pretreatment of the jackets by heating is also referred to as activation and improves the quality of the compound to be produced.
  • the heater divides the air flow and directs the hot air through nozzles both on the inner sides of the gable area of the shell and on the pouring element.
  • the heater can move in and out in the gable area of the shell in the direction of the mandrel.
  • the slide can be arranged in the direction of rotation of the mandrel wheel after the heating device and in front of the gable press.
  • the coats are in the intermediate position during the action of the heater and only then pushed by the slider in the end position. Only in this way can the heating device reach and heat the required areas of the jacket and of the pouring element.
  • Targeted heating of the ears can be accomplished by having a heater for heating the ears.
  • the heating device for heating the ears can be tailored to the exact number and shape of the ears. This allows an economical use of energy when heating.
  • all ears of a package are heated in the same mandrel wheel position by the heater.
  • separate hot air nozzles can be provided for each ear.
  • a compact design can be achieved in a further embodiment of the invention, when the gable press and the ear press are assigned to the same mandrel wheel position.
  • the number of mandrels can be further reduced in this way.
  • other operations can be performed on the freed thorns.
  • the energy to be introduced can be used locally concentrated.
  • the device has a rinsing device for aseptic rinsing of the packages.
  • the rinsing device ensures that the packages are largely germ-free before filling the contents.
  • the purging device can be arranged downstream of the mandrel wheel as part of a filling system.
  • the device has a filling device for filling the packages through the open bottom area and / or through the open pouring element.
  • the filling device fills the packaging, which is closed only on one side, with contents.
  • the filling device can also be arranged downstream of the mandrel wheel as part of a filling system.
  • the device has a closing device for closing the bottom area.
  • the closing device By means of the closing device, the bottom region of the packaging is closed, as a result of which packages, that is to say filled packages, are produced.
  • the closing device can also be arranged downstream of the mandrel wheel as part of a filling system. The closing of the bottom area by the closing device can alternatively also take place before the contents are filled with the packaging. In this case, the sealed on both sides of the packaging can be filled through the open pouring element.
  • the underlying object is a method having the features of the preamble of Claim 11 achieved in that the steps c) and d) are performed in the same mandrel wheel position.
  • step e) By the combined execution of steps c) and d) in the same mandrel wheel position, the number of separate, ie spatially separate steps can be reduced or it can be assigned to the released Dornrad ein other steps. Further, the energy required for bonding and sealing, such as heat, can be locally concentrated and thus effectively utilized when steps c) and d) are performed at the same location.
  • all ears are preferably folded and stapled in the same mandrel wheel position.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that, in addition to steps c) and d), step e) can also be carried out in the same mandrel wheel position.
  • step a) a pouring element is pushed onto an empty mandrel of the mandrel wheel before step b) is carried out.
  • the jacket in the gable area is first folded and / or bent in step c).
  • the folding of the coats when connecting the gable surfaces of the gable area of the shell With the pouring element has the advantage that can be dispensed with a separate process step in which the gable surfaces are folded or prefolded.
  • the coats only need to be unfolded from a flat shape into a tubular shape before being pushed onto the mandrel; however, a folding on the mandrel wheel does not take place before step c).
  • step b) comprises three sub-steps: ba) pushing a shell onto a mandrel of the mandrel wheel in an intermediate position, bb) heating the gable region of the shell, bc) further pushing on the Mantels on the mandrel in an end position.
  • This sequence of steps has the advantage that the gable area initially protrudes beyond the end of the mandrel and thus is particularly accessible when heated. Also, the pouring element can be heated more easily.
  • Heating can be carried out particularly effectively by carrying out step bb) in two mandrel wheel positions in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention.
  • these are successive mandrel wheel positions.
  • the heating of the gable region of the shell is divided into two mandrel wheel positions, the gable areas of the coats can be heated very intensively, without the mandrel wheel must be rotated slower. It is thus achieved a longer heating time at a consistently high clock rate of the mandrel wheel.
  • the variability of the heating is also increased since the heating in the second mandrel wheel position can take place as required.
  • the ears adhere particularly securely to the gable surfaces when, according to another teaching of the invention, the ears are heated prior to step e). Additional heating of the ears will ensure that the ears adhere particularly firmly to the gable surfaces during subsequent transfer and attachment. Preferably, all ears are heated in the same mandrel wheel position.
  • the efficiency of the method can be increased by heating in a further embodiment of the invention, the ears before step d) and then the steps d) and e) are performed in the same mandrel wheel position.
  • the combined implementation of steps d) and e) in the same position of the mandrel wheel allows reducing the number of separate operations. It is likewise possible to carry out other work steps in the released mandrel wheel positions.
  • the required energy such as heat, locally concentrated and thus be used effectively.
  • step f) the packaging is rinsed aseptically from the inside.
  • An aseptic rinse ensures that the packaging is germ-free.
  • step f) the packaging is first filled through the open bottom area and then the bottom area is closed.
  • the teaching of the invention has recognized that, alternatively, after step f), the bottom area is first closed and then the packaging is filled by the open pouring element.
  • the filling through the open bottom has the advantage of a larger cross section through which the contents are filled.
  • the filling of the bottom-side sealed packaging by the pouring element has the hygienic advantage that production and filling of the packaging can be spatially separated.
  • the underlying object is achieved by having each of the pressing tools a gable pressing surface and two ears pressing surfaces.
  • the gable pressing surface is associated with a gable surface, and each of the two ear pressing surfaces is associated with one of the ears adjacent to this gable surface.
  • the gable press preferably has a separate pressing tool for each of the gable surfaces, so that all gable surfaces and ears can be sealed in one step.
