Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotatable packaging machine and to a method for filling open sacks.
  • the packing machine according to the invention can be provided for filling bulk goods of all kinds.
  • a plant is particularly preferably used for filling fine products, ie for filling fine and dusty products which require a correspondingly long filling and, in particular, compacting time.
  • an apparatus and a method for handling sacks have become known, wherein the apparatus comprises a rotating carousel with filling nozzles provided thereon.
  • the apparatus comprises a rotating carousel with filling nozzles provided thereon.
  • the apparatus To remove the filled sacks, there are two gripping devices rotatable about a column.
  • At each gripping device for gripping the bags two up and zuschwenkbare gripper pairs are provided to take a filled bag for acceptance. The device operates discontinuously and clocked.
  • FFS packaging machines form-fill-seal packaging machines
  • FFS packaging machines form-fill-seal packaging machines
  • the open bag is manufactured inside the machine or in a directly upstream facility.
  • the machine is assigned a film tube roll, from the continuous during operation the required open bags are produced.
  • a significant advantage of such an FFS packing machine is that the open bags can be made in their actual required length. There is no need to resort to prefabricated bags, which are also more expensive.
  • FFS packing machines process open bags of plastic film, which is waterproof. Therefore, open sacks filled with moisture-sensitive materials such as cement can also be used in the Be stored outdoors as the contents are reliably protected from moisture.
  • a disadvantage of known packing machines for filling open bags is the limited capacity, especially when dusty fine products are to be filled, since these products must be compacted in the rule to provide a stable container available in which as little air is contained. Contained air also reduces stackability.
  • Vibrators are regularly used when filling fine products into open sacks to lower the product level as much as possible.
  • the required bag length can be reduced for a certain amount of product, which can significantly reduce the cost of the open bags used, since less tubular film must be used to produce an open bag.
  • considerable cost savings can be achieved if the bag length can be reduced by only one centimeter.
  • the packing machine according to the invention is designed as a continuously rotatable packing machine and serves to fill open bags.
  • the rotatable packaging machine comprises a plurality of co-rotating filling units arranged distributed over the circumference, each having a filler neck with a filling opening, to which the open bags can be attached by means of an upward movement directed relative to the filler neck. It is designed as a transfer device handling unit for taking over the filled open bags provided by the filling units.
  • the transfer device comprises at least one gripping arm with a gripping unit provided thereon.
  • the gripper arm is rotatable on the transfer device arranged and the gripping unit is pivotally mounted on the gripping arm to perform a rotation of the gripping arms superimposed pivotal movement relative to the gripping arm.
  • the rotatable packaging machine according to the invention has many advantages.
  • a significant advantage of the packaging machine according to the invention is that it is possible by the transfer device to operate the packaging machine continuously rotating. A clocked operation is not necessary, since by the rotation of the gripper arm of the transfer device takeover of the filled open bag during the continuous rotational movement of the rotatable packing machine is possible.
  • a pivotable receiving the gripping unit allows a longer transition phase, whereby a higher speed of the packing machine is allowed. As a result, a higher performance can be achieved.
  • the gripping unit is pivotally mounted on the gripping arm for pivotal movement relative to the gripping arm.
  • the gripping unit is pivoted in such a way that a longer transition phase is made possible.
  • the packing machine rotates at a constant speed and in particular the speed is almost constant over at least one complete revolution. It is also possible here, however, that the packaging machine is operated at a variable speed over the circumference. However, a constant speed is preferred, since the throughput is thereby greater. In addition, there is no need for constant braking and acceleration of the rotating part of the packaging machine, which saves energy.
  • the open bag is attached to the filler neck from below. During this movement, the filler neck can remain stationary. The open bag is attached by an upward movement on the filler neck.
  • the filler neck is inserted from above into the open bag. In such a movement, the open bag can remain stationary and the filler neck can be moved. Overall, this results in an upward movement of the open bag relative to the filler neck, even if the filler neck is moved downward in this case.
  • a simultaneous movement of the filler neck and the open bag is possible.
  • a relative movement of the bag takes place to the filler neck, which is at least partially directed upwards relative to the filler neck.
  • a considerable advantage of the rotatable packaging machine according to the invention is also that a plurality of filling units can be provided, each with one or two filling nozzles, which are filled continuously or discontinuously and within the rotation of the packing machine sufficient time to vent the bottled product or to have a lowering of the product level, so that on acceptance or at the latest when closing the open bags bulging open bags are present that are designed visually appealing and consume at the same time only a little foil material.
  • the gripping unit is pivotally mounted on the gripper arm to perform a superimposed pivotal movement relative to the gripping arm.
  • a gripping unit which pivots along a predetermined path in synchronism with the peripheral speed of the filling nozzles makes possible a longer parallelism of the movement.
  • the movement of the rotating filling unit with the filling nozzle provided thereon and the movement of the pivotable gripping arm can be much better coordinated with each other so that the gripping unit of the gripping arm is aligned parallel to the open bag arranged on the filling unit for a considerably longer period. This considerably lengthens the period in which the grippers on the filling unit still hold the open bag in a defined position.
  • the transfer device has at least two gripper arms, on each of which at least one gripping unit is pivotally provided.
  • the transfer device is provided in all configurations for taking over the filled open bag from the filling unit and transferring it to a closing device or a conveyor belt.
  • the gripper arm of the transfer device rotate in opposite directions to the packaging machine.
  • the rotating filler neck and the transfer device are positioned to each other so that the circles touch tangentially or slightly overlap, so that in a well-defined angular position, the assumption of a filled open bag of a filling unit is possible.
  • a takeover of the filled open bags only takes place when the gripping unit of the gripping arm engages the upper bag wall of the filled bag. It is thus possible, for example, for the gripping unit not to grasp the open sack which is present on the filling unit if, for example, the filling has not yet been completely completed.
  • This configuration allows the open bags to rotate for a second round before they are removed from the packing machine and transported away with the transfer device. In general, it is also possible that the bags always two or more rounds remain on the filler before they are removed and transported away from the transfer device.
  • the compacting device may be designed as a vibrating device and comprise a vibrating plate and / or a vibrating bottle and / or a vacuum lance or the like.
  • the gripping unit comprises at least two grippers in order to grasp an open bag. Also possible and preferred is the use of three or four grippers to ensure a defined positioning at any time.
  • at least two grippers are arranged approximately symmetrically to the pivot axis of the gripping unit. Characterized in that the gripping unit is pivotally provided on the gripping arm, the arranged on one side of the pivot axis gripper at a certain time an increased peripheral speed while the gripper disposed on the opposite side of the pivot axis has a reduced peripheral speed. Due to the different peripheral speeds of the grippers of the gripping unit ensures that the acquisition of the filled open bag over a larger angular range and thus a longer period is possible than if the gripping unit would be firmly mounted on the gripper arm.
  • the rotatable packaging machine is designed as a continuously rotatable packaging machine.
  • the transfer device comprises at least one drive for rotating the gripping arm.
  • a circumferential speed or rotational speed of the gripper arm is preferably adapted to a peripheral speed of the filler neck.
  • the peripheral speed of the gripper arm corresponds at least to the time of acquisition of the peripheral speed of the filler neck.
  • the gripper arm is rotated at a continuously variable rotational speed.
  • the peripheral speed of the gripping arm is approximately constant and the circumferential speed of the filling nozzle at least substantially corresponds. This ensures that the open bag retains its constant rate of travel substantially throughout the process.
  • the open bag is removed with the gripping arm, which preferably has the same circumferential speed. Finally, the open bag is transferred to a processing device such as a closing unit or a discharge belt or the like at the same speed, so that an acceleration in the direction of movement is not required. As a result, the forces on the bag are kept relatively low.
  • the drive is used for rotation the gripping arm also for pivoting the gripping unit provided thereon.
  • the number of drives is kept low, which reduces the effort and error rate.
  • a forced synchronization is achieved.
  • a separate drive is provided for rotation of the gripping unit. Then, the drives are operated synchronously for rotation of the gripping arm and for pivoting the gripping unit or synchronized at regular intervals to ensure the required movement.
  • the rotational speed of the drive crank of the gripping unit is a multiple of the rotational speed of the gripping arm.
  • the rotational speed of the drive crank of the gripping unit is twice as large as the rotational speed of the gripping arm.
  • the rotational speed of the drive crank of the gripping unit is an integer multiple of twice the rotational speed of the gripping arm.
  • the gripping unit is aligned, for example, at right angles to the orientation of the gripper arm. This ensures that at two circumferential locations, the gripping unit is aligned tangentially to the orientation of the gripping arm, so that the gripping unit is also aligned tangentially to the existing on the filling unit and provided for takeover open bag.
  • the pivoting speed of the gripping unit can be adjusted accordingly.
  • the gripper arm and the gripping unit provided thereon are designed to initially rotate or pivot in opposite directions during the transfer of the sack.
  • Such a design results in that the gripper of the gripper unit trailing in the direction of rotation of the gripper arm reduces its center distance to the center of rotation of the gripper arm until the gripper unit is aligned transversely to the gripper arm. Subsequently, the corresponding gripping unit is pivoted again in the opposite direction, so that the period of parallelism is increased to the bag to be accepted.
  • the gripping unit thus performs a pendulum motion relative to the gripping arm.
  • the pendulum movement is dimensioned so that the different turning circle diameter of packing machine and gripper arms are compensated. This can be dimensioned correspondingly larger or smaller for differently configured systems.
  • the pivoting movement or pendulum movement of the gripping unit leads to a nearly parallel arrangement of the gripping unit and the upper bag wall.
  • the gripping unit oscillates again in the other direction, ie in the same direction back to the gripper arm to pivot in the opposite direction when passing to the processing device. Even when transferring to the processing device results in a longer angular range in which the open bag extends substantially parallel to the processing device, so that a simple transfer to a linear guide is possible.
  • a holding device is arranged, which is moved synchronously with the grippers of the gripping unit.
  • the holding device ensures that the bag to be accepted is not only taken on its upper bag wall, but also supported in a lower lateral area, so that the accepted open bag is guided both at the top and in a lower area defined.
  • the loads on the upper bag wall and the open bag are significantly reduced overall, when the open bag is passed from the rotational movement of the filler in the rotational movement of the gripper arm with a significantly reduced radius of rotation.
  • the holding device is preferably fixedly connected to the gripping unit.
  • Grippers provided on the holding device are actuated synchronously or at least substantially synchronously with the grippers of the gripping unit.
  • the gripping unit comprises at least one clamping unit with which an upper bag wall of the open bag can be pulled flat and tensioned.
  • the gripping unit comprises at least one clamping unit with which an upper bag wall of the open bag can be pulled flat and tensioned.
  • the upper bag wall should be pulled apart at the two ends, so that adapted to the cross section of the filler neck upper bag wall is there again placed flat to allow a wrinkle-free closing. Wrinkle-free closing is important for open sacks made of a film material, in order to ensure the necessary tightness and load capacity of the sealed open bags.
  • the transfer device is provided to transfer the filled open bags to a processing device.
  • the processing device may comprise a linear guide and / or a closing device. It is possible and preferable for a transfer device to transfer the filled open bags to a closing device.
  • At least one support unit is provided, which supports the open bag during transport with the transfer device from below. This will make the top one Sack wall and the gripping arm relieved.
  • the support unit comprises at least one compression device in order to allow a further lowering of the product level even during the transport of the open bag with the transfer device. It is possible that the support unit comprises a sliding bleach and / or a belt and / or a roller guide or the like.
