Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thermoforming packaging machine having the technical features of claim 1 and a method having the technical features of method claim 10.
  • DE 23 27 286 A1 or WO 2008/129350 A1 shown positioned products at a loading station on packaging carriers or inserted into this, to be transported from there together with the packaging carriers along a packaging line to downstream work stations, such as a sealing station.
  • a sealing station In the sealing station, a lidding film is sealed onto the packaging carriers to airtightly enclose the products in the packaging carriers.
  • the transport of the products on the packaging carriers between the loading station and the sealing station works without problems, as long as the products do not slip on the packaging carriers and possibly reach the area of the packaging carriers where the lid film is subsequently to be sealed. In most cases, this is an edge area or the area of the sealing seam of the packaging carrier.
  • camera systems are used in practice. If the camera system detects that the products are no longer properly located on or in the packaging carriers, ie projecting into the area to be sealed, the packaging process is automatically stopped. Subsequently, an operator must correct the position of the products on or in the packaging carriers so that the packaging process can continue.
  • the disadvantage of this is mainly that the camera system used for it is expensive and it by automatically stopping the packaging process Downtime occurs, which increases the production costs.
  • thermoforming packaging machine or a method in such a way that the products to be packaged can not reach a region of the packaging carriers to be sealed during the packaging process, so that there are no interruptions during the packaging process.

  • the holding device has a plurality of holding segments, which are arranged on a revolving feed system.
  • the feed system may comprise a link chain, a toothed belt or a similar drive transmission means.
  • the holding device is synchronously with a film transport device for the film in a production direction intermittently in the sealing station for sealing a lid film on the film transportable.
  • the holding device is mechanically coupled to the film transport device for the film in order not to have to provide their own drive for the holding device or the rotating feed system.
  • a gripping device is provided to a group of preferably long, flexible and partially curved products in the wells to further increase the degree of automation of the thermoforming packaging machine.
