Definitions
- the invention relates to a filling machine for filling in particular flowable products in packing containers, wherein the filling machine several parallel
- conveyor lines which are supplied packaging jackets for the preparation of the packing container and along which the packing shells or the packing containers produced therefrom are conveyed in a conveying direction and a method for conveying packing shells or packing containers produced therefrom by such a filling machine.
- Cardboard composite existing packing containers are known from the prior art. To build known
- the conveyor lines are combined into packages, flat folded packaging coats for the production of
- Magazines are the packing coats as a stack, usually upright, arranged one behind the other.
- the respective front packing jacket is the magazine by means of a per se taken from known removal and Auffaltaggregates that unfolds the packing jacket to a rectangular in cross-section hose.
- each packing jacket is taken over by a transport device.
- the transport devices convey the packing shells as well as the packing containers produced therefrom along the parallel conveying lines which each extend in a vertical plane.
- Conveyor lines, the packaging coats and the packaging containers produced therefrom are sterilized, filled and sealed.
- the preparation of the package bottom and thus the packing container is usually carried out immediately before filling.
- the stepwise rotating transport wheels have a plurality of radially outwardly extending, parallel receptacles whose distance in the axial direction of the transport wheel corresponds to the distance of the conveyor lines.
- the arms are formed as mandrels, which engage in the unfolded packing shells or in the packing container; One then speaks of a mandrel wheel.
- each shot comprises several arms or
- Cross-section square packing containers are produced, the flat-folded packing shells are twice as wide as their side edges.
- the dimension of the flat folded packaging shells results from the sum of the wide plus the narrow side edge of the packaging shells.
- Medium conveyor lines is from the long sides of the
- the invention is based on the object to propose a filling machine with improved working method whose manufacturing and
- the task is at a filling machine of the beginning
- the conveyor lines a first section and in the conveying direction behind a second Having sections in which the conveyor lines parallel to each other, wherein the distance between at least two of the conveyor lines in the first and second sections across the course of the conveyor lines is different in size, so the at least one of the two conveyor lines in the second
- At least one of the two conveyor lines extends with a lateral offset to the first section.
- both lanes in the second section may be offset laterally to the first section to change the distance between the conveyor lines.
- the handling device is arranged in front of the second section.
- Handling device takes over the intermediate transport of the packing shells or packing container between the first and second sections of the conveyor lines running parallel there in vertical planes.
- a plurality of first and second sections can be arranged one behind the other along the conveyor lines, wherein the first section lies in the conveying direction in front of the second section and in each case before the second section
- Handling device for the intermediate transport between the sections is provided.
- Hoses are unfolded and immediately afterwards take over the unfolded packing coats of the
- Handling device takes place, wherein the distance between all conveyor lines in the first section is greater than in the second section. From the means of transport are unfolded
- Packungsmäntel or the beginning of the second section conveyed therefrom produced packaging container at a reduced distance between all conveyor lines through the sterile room, where the packing containers are filled under sterile conditions and then sealed.
- Conveyors associated with conveyors are transversely guided transversely to the course of the conveyor lines between a first and a second position, wherein the holder is in the first position in extension of the course of the conveyor line in the first section and in the second position in
- Extension of the course of the conveyor line is located in the second section.
- the mounts associated with each conveyor line do not interrupt the transport path for the unfolded packing shells or the packing containers produced therefrom and at the same time guide the packing sheaths or packing containers while they are being conveyed from the conveyor lines in the first section
- Packing containers extend.
- Handling device preferably moved by means of a linkage synchronously from the first to the second position and vice versa.
- a linkage synchronously from the first to the second position and vice versa.
- Conveyor lines displaceably guided holders can preferably be integrated into the conveyor lines, if in the first section of the conveyor lines, a first transport wheel is arranged, and in the second section of the conveyor lines, a second transport wheel for conveying the packing coats or packing container is arranged, wherein in the conveying direction arranged in front of the handling device transport wheel a plurality of radially outwardly extending, parallel
- Section corresponds and in the conveying direction behind the handling device second transport wheel has a plurality of radially outwardly extending, parallel receptacles whose distance in the axial direction of the transport wheel corresponds to the distance of the conveyor lines in the second section.
- the advantage of the transport wheels is that their recordings are alignable to the brackets of the handling device and at the same time assume a leadership function when in the first position of the brackets effective first push elements the packing coats or packing container of the on the Strip holders oriented first receptacles and insert the holders or, in the second position of the holders, push the packing jackets or packing containers out of the holders in the direction of the second receptacles of the second transport wheel aligned with the holders.
- the first and second push elements which are used alternately in the conveying cycle of the filling machine, can be synchronized by a common drive in a simple manner.
- the invention is based on a
- Figure la is a schematic perspective
- Figures 2a - 5a a partial perspective
- Figures 2b - 5b are side views of the filling machine according to
- the figures la, lb show partially a filling machine (1) for filling liquid food in packing container (2), wherein the filling machine (1) four parallel
- Packing jackets (4) for the manufacture of packing containers (2) from four magazines (5) are supplied.
- Packing containers (2) are in a common
- Section (7, 8) of the conveyor lines (3a-d) is a
- the filling machine (1) has in the first section (7) a first transport wheel (13) for conveying the unfolded
- the axes of rotation of both transport wheels (13, 14) extend transversely to the conveyor lines (3a-d).
- the first transport wheel (13) is designed as a so-called cellular wheel, which has a plurality of radially outwardly extending first receptacles (15), each formed by two profiled bars, which at diagonally opposite longitudinal edges of a
- unfolded packing jacket (4) can be brought to the plant.
- the rods are designed, for example, as angle profiles, as can be seen from FIG. 2a.
- About the circumference of the first transport wheel (13) offset by 90 degrees four rows of parallel receptacles (15) are arranged.
- the second transport wheel (14) differs from the first
- Transport wheel (13) characterized in that the second receptacles (16) are formed as mandrels over which unfolded
- Packing coats (4) are slipped. Both transport wheels (13, 14) by a drive, not shown, stepwise by 90 degrees to the horizontal and transverse to the
- Transport wheel (13) corresponds to the distance (9) of
