Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for making a package for a foodstuff product, in particular a confectionery product, comprising the steps of:
  • the above type of process is normally used for packaging confectionery products, typically chocolate-based ones, the outer surface of which has a particular shape, representing, for example, characters or animals that are fruit of the imagination, or even objects linked to the traditions of holidays, such as Easter eggs or Christmas bells, in order to make packages that reproduce externally exactly the particular shape thereof.
  • the two sheets of wrapping material of the package are made to adhere to the entire outer surface of the product.
  • the folded flange mentioned at the start is provided so as to identify as a whole a profile substantially corresponding to the outer contour of the packaged product so that the product will appear as if it were framed.
  • the present applicant has, however, found that, in general, the provision of the hermetic seal in the framework of the process described in the above patent may cause onset of various aesthetic defects, which involve both the folded flange and the part of product adjacent thereto.
  • the present invention fits into such a context in order to provide a process of the type referred to at the start that will enable hermetic sealing of the package without this presenting the aforesaid drawbacks.
  • the object referred to above is achieved via a process that presents the characteristics of Claim 1.
  • the present invention moreover relates to a package obtained via the process in question, and a device for implementing the sealing step envisaged in this process.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an example of package for a product P, specifically an Easter egg, provided according to the process described herein.
  • this type of package designated in Figure 1 by the reference number 10, comprises a first sheet of wrapping material 2 and a second sheet of wrapping material 4 coupled together.
  • the sheet 2 has a portion for receiving the product 2a, and a peripheral portion 2b that surrounds the receiving portion 2a.
  • the sheet 4 has a portion for receiving the product 4a and a peripheral portion 4b that surrounds the receiving portion 4a.
  • the sheets 2 and 4 are coupled together so that the receiving portions 2a, 4a together define a closed cavity C in which the product P is housed, and so that the peripheral portions 2b, 4b are set in contact with one another so as to form a flange 6 surrounding the cavity C (see Figure 1A ).
  • the flange 6 has a sealing area 60 that hermetically closes the cavity C.
  • the sealing area 60 has a prevalent longitudinal development and extends along a closed path that surrounds the receiving portions 2a, 4a. This area is substantially identifiable as a sealing strip.
  • FIG. 1A illustrates an enlargement that does not respect the real proportions of the various elements, having the purpose of enabling immediate understanding of the structure of the flange 6; in this figure, the folding line "s" is represented as a perimetral band. However, in the real package the thicknesses of the sheets 2 and 4 are so small, as compared to the structure of the package, that the aforesaid band can in actual fact be equated with a line, namely a folding line.
  • the portions for receiving the product 2a and 4a which together identify the cavity C, each reproduce the conformation of the outer surface of the corresponding part of the product P so as to be substantially adherent to the product.
  • This configuration enables the package to reproduce, substantially identically, the shape of the product contained therein.
  • the receiving portions 2a and 4a can hence be of any shape depending only upon the shape of the packaged product, and may consequently even differ from one another, for example in the cases where the product has different opposite faces.
  • the receiving portions 2a and 4a are not both of a generic half-shell shape as in the example illustrated, but, instead, one of them is completely plane.
  • the line of joining of the sheets 1 and 2 within the cavity C is - throughout its extension or at least for part thereof - directly in contact with the product P, and the folding line "s" of the flange 6 extends parallel thereto so that as a whole the flange reproduces almost exactly the profile that the product P has in the plane of the flange.
  • the aesthetic effect is that of greater enhancement of the overall form of the product.
  • the process described herein is characterized in that it envisages providing said sealing area at a minimum distance from the aforesaid first and/or second receiving portions, which is such that, after said folding step, said sealing area comes to be in said distal part of said folded flange, and is not traversed by said folding line.
  • the present applicant has in fact found that the above phenomenon of elastic return arises when the folding step involves instead - also or only - the sealing area, i.e., in the cases where the latter is traversed by the folding line "s"; the reason for this behaviour is to be put down to the fact that, where the sheets 2 and 4 are welded together, the flange 6 is as a whole more rigid, and consequently assumes a mechanical behaviour substantially more elastic than the remaining parts.
  • the characteristic referred to above moreover helps to solve the technical problem of preventing the heat necessary for sealing the two sheets from at the same time causing melting, or in any case a variation of consistency, also of the product P, in the cases where this is of a material that can melt, such as for example chocolate.
  • Provision of the sealing area at a distance from to the portions for receiving the product presupposes, in fact, that the sealing means themselves are positioned at a distance from these portions (which is already in itself able to reduce the amount of heat coming from the sealing means that reaches the product).
  • the space provided between the sealing means and the product it is possible to insert means for protecting the product from the heat generated by the sealing means, thus preventing the heat from possibly causing heating of the product.
  • sealing area 60 on the distal portion 6b guarantees that the perimetral end edges of the peripheral portions 2b, 4b are joined together in a mutual condition of perfect alignment, preventing the internal sides thereof, which could be of a colour and an appearance different from that of the external sides, from becoming visible and/or preventing the aforesaid portions from curling and not being perfectly laid out on top of one another.
  • FIGS. 2 to 25 are schematic illustrations that have the sole purpose of enabling an immediate understanding of the principal aspects of the process and of the means used for implementing it.
  • reference will be made to the production of a single package, but it is clear that the same means described may be easily configured for producing simultaneously a number of packages at a time.
  • the sheets 2 and 4 are preferably made of a plastically deformable material, typically aluminium, of a thickness of from 10 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m, and are coated with a layer made of heat-meltable or heat-sealable material, for example polyethylene or any other plastic material of a similar type.
  • the process envisages shaping of the first and second sheets so as to define thereon the portions 2a and 4a for receiving the product referred to in Figure 1 .
  • the process envisages the use of moulds 8' and 8", which have respective mould cavities 9 and 11 of a shape corresponding to complementary portions of the outer surface of the product to be packaged.
  • the sheets 2 and 4 are arranged on the moulds 8' and 8", and for example with the aid of a plug 10, of a shape complementary to the surface of the mould cavity, are subjected to an operation of drawing via which on the sheets 2 and 4 there are formed the parts 2a and 4a for receiving the product, surrounded, respectively, by the peripheral portions 2b and 4b, of a substantially plane conformation.
  • the shaped sheets 2 and 4 are then transferred into the auxiliary supports 12 and 14, which present respective seats 16 and 18, for receiving the shaped parts 2a and 4a, and respective plane surfaces 20 and 22, surrounding the seats 16 and 18 and suitable for supporting the flange portions 2b and 4b.
  • the support 12 in the example illustrated has an annular slot or groove 24 surrounding the seat 16 of the support, the function of which will be illustrated in what follows.
  • the supports 12 and 14 may be moved with respect to one another between an open condition, for example illustrated in Figure 4 , and a closed condition, for example illustrated in Figure 7 , and moreover, in the latter condition, may be rotated together, about an axis orthogonal to the plane of the figures.
  • the means for providing said movements of the supports 12 and 14 may be of any type already known to the person skilled in the sector and consequently will not be described herein in detail.
  • the article P is positioned, by transfer means in themselves known, for example of the suction-cup type, in the receiving part 4a of the sheet 4, and, then, by turning the support 14 over through 180° on the support 12 ( Figures 6 and 7 ), the sheet 2 is coupled to the sheet 4, which overlies the surface portion of the article P that emerges from the seat 18; there is thus obtained a configuration in which the two sheets 2 and 4 are arranged with their peripheral portions 2b and 4b in contact with one another to form the flange 6, and with their receiving portions 2a and 4a that together define the cavity C containing the product P. Then, the supports 12 and 14 are brought back into their open condition as illustrated in Figure 8 .
  • the process described herein is characterized in that the sealing area is provided at a given minimum distance from the receiving portions of the two sheets of wrapping material.
  • the value of this distance is selected in such a way that, after the folding step, the sealing area comes to be located on the distal part of the folded flange and is not traversed by the folding line defined therein.
  • This value is thus a function of the width of the proximal part of the folded flange and, in general, may be equal to or greater than this width.
  • the width of the same sealing area - measured in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the area - cannot instead be greater than the width of the distal part of the folded flange.
  • the process described herein envisages use of a sealing device 52.
  • the above device comprises, in general, supporting means configured for receiving the sheets 2 and 4 coupled together, which identify a seat on which the receiving portion 2a or 4a of these sheets is to be arranged, and a preferably plane contrast surface, on which the peripheral portions 2b, 4b are to be rested.
  • the device 52 further comprises a pressure element 54 presenting a heating edge 54a, which is driven by motor means 53 so that the edge 54a presses the parts 2b, 4b against the aforesaid contrast surface.
  • the above supporting means are constituted by one of the supports 12 and 14 themselves, in this case the aforesaid seat being constituted by the seats 16 and 18 of these supports, whilst the aforesaid contrast surface is constituted by their surfaces 20, 22.
  • the supporting means in question are instead constituted by a support altogether similar to the supports 12 and 14 but uniquely designed for use with the sealing device 52.
  • set on the aforesaid contrast surface is an elastic element 44, for example made of silicone, which presents a conformation such as to identify a plane surface that substantially reproduces in shape and dimensions the heating edge 54a, and against which the latter presses the parts 2b, 4b.
  • the element 44 has the function of compensating, as a result of its elastic consistency, any possible imperfections of the contrast surface and/or of the heating edge.
  • the elastic element 44 is received in a corresponding groove made in the contrast surface 22.
  • the heating edge 54a has a width corresponding to that of said sealing area, and extends along a closed path of a length and/or shape corresponding to the length and/or shape of the path along which the sealing area will be located on the portions 2b, 4b.
  • the edge 54 extends along a path such that, in the operative condition of the element 54, it surrounds the receiving portions 2a, 4a, keeping at a distance equal at least to the aforesaid minimum distance of the sealing area, designated by H in Figure 10A .
  • the device 52 comprises a cooling body 56, set within the heating edge 54a and configured for covering the shaped part 4a and the portion of product contained therein, preventing any direct exposure thereof to the heating edge 54a and absorbing the heat transmitted by the edge itself.
  • the body 56 has a cavity 56a, designed to receive the shaped part 4a, and an edge 56b, which surrounds the cavity 56a and is of a width such as that it can fit into the space between the edge 54a and the shaped part 4a.
  • the device 52 comprises means (not illustrated) for circulation of a cooling fluid within the body 56.
  • the body 56 comprises one or more ducts that are arranged around the cavity 56a, and supply means are associated to these ducts, to obtain a circulation of the cooling fluid through them.
  • the cooling fluid absorbs the heat emanating from the heating edge 54, thus preventing this heat from possibly causing heating of the portion 4a and of the product P.
  • the body 56 can be carried by the pressure element 54 itself, or else by a distinct movement structure, driving of which is coordinated with the element 54.
  • cooling body 56 instead of the cooling body 56 it is possible to envisage simply a body made of insulating material that prevents transfer of the heat generated by the heating edge 54a to the product P.
  • the sealing device 52 described above may constitute a station in the framework of a packaging plant, which performs on the line one or more of the operations described previously, or else may constitute a stand-alone device to which the products P, along with the sheets 2 and 4 associated thereto, can be fed by the line of the plant.
  • the sheets 2 and 4 are joined together to form a hermetically sealed wrapper.
  • the process described herein finally envisages creating the folded flange of the package.
  • this step envisages folding the flange 6 on itself along the folding line "s" so as to identify the proximal part 6a and the distal part 6b.
  • the folding line "s" By the folding line "s", the distal part 6b is folded back towards the cavity C, until it is brought up against the proximal part 6a. From what has been said previously, the operation of folding of the flange 6 does not subject the sealing area 60 to deformation, and, at the end thereof, this area comes to be located in the distal part 6b (see Figures 1A and 15 to 23 ).
  • a cutting operation is envisaged to reduce the flange 6 to the desired width.
  • the wrapping material obtained by the sealing operation is transferred from the support 14 to the support 12.
  • a movement of the supports 12 and 14 comprising in succession: i) turning over through 180° the support 12 on the support 14 ( Figure 12 ); ii) turning over through 180° the set of the supports 12 and 14 ( Figure 13 ), so that the product and the wrapping material pass from being carried by the support 14 to being carried by the support 12; and finally iii) removing the support 14 from the support 12 ( Figure 14 ).
  • the process then envisages an operation of cutting the flange 6, aimed at obtaining the desired width of the flange.
  • the above cutting operation is preferably performed so as to realize, simultaneously with cutting, folding of a distal portion of the above flange at an angle, preferably of 90°, with respect to the remaining proximal portion so as to identify already in this step the aforesaid proximal and distal parts 6a and 6b that will come to form the folded flange in the next process step.
  • this operation can be performed by means of a device of the type illustrated in Figure 15 , which co-operates with the support 12, provided with the annular groove 24.
  • This cutting device comprises a vertically mobile support 26, associated to which is an annular cutting or dinking member 28, and pressure means 30, 32, preferably elastically constrained to the support 26, which surround the annular cutting member 28 internally and externally.
  • the cutting device is positioned with the pressure means 30, 32 in contact with the flange 6 and with the cutting member 28 that is able to penetrate into the groove 24.
  • the cutting end 28a of the cutting member 28 is able to penetrate into the groove 24 at a slight radial distance from the radially internal wall 24a of the groove 24, this distance being sized so that the folded flange part can be received therein.
  • the pressure means 30, 32 constrain the flange 6, and lowering of the cutting member inside the groove 24 causes, simultaneously with cutting of the peripheral portions of the flange, simultaneous folding downwards of the distal portion 6b with respect to the proximal portion 6a.
  • the offcuts, designated as a whole by 13 can be removed after cutting, for example by suction, in a next step of the process.
  • the process preferably contemplates an operation of turning-over through 180° of the wrapping material so as to position the folded flange parts upwards.
  • This operation may, for example, be performed according to the operating steps of Figures 16, 17, 18 , and 19 , which comprise turning over the support 14 on the support 12 to obtain the configuration of Figure 17 , where the wrapping material is closed between the supports 12, 14, turning-over through 180° of the two associated supports 12, 14 ( Figure 18 ), and subsequent opening of the top support 14 to obtain the configuration of Figure 19 .
  • the process then envisages folding the distal part 6b of the flange against the corresponding proximal part 6a.
  • the process described herein envisages the use of the crimping device described in the European patent No. EP2366631 .
  • the aforesaid device may constitute a station that operates on the line in the framework of a packaging plant, or else may constitute a stand-alone device to which the wrappers to be treated can be supplied by the line of the plant.
  • the device in question can be provided for cooperating directly with one of the supports 12 or 14 described previously, or else, alternatively, it may comprise its own means for supporting the wrapping material, which, like the supports 12 and 14, in general comprise a seat designed to support one of the two shaped parts 4a or 2a of the wrapping material, and a substantially plane surface, which surrounds the aforesaid seat and is designed to support the flange 6.
  • the device in question comprises crimping means provided for bringing about folding and/or clinching of the distal part 6b with respect to the article P, starting from a configuration of the type illustrated in Figure 20 , where this part is already folded in an angled position, generally practically orthogonal to the surface 22 of the support 14.

  • the crimping tool 36 is likewise mobile in a horizontal plane.
  • Motor means 42 are provided for actuating the crimping tool for the vertical and horizontal movement.
  • the motor means 42 are provided for bringing consecutive or non-consecutive stretches of the profile 40 of the opening 38 into contact with a homologous stretch of the profile defined by the previously folded distal portion 6b. This operation can be performed in the position in which the bottom end of the crimping tool is in contact with the surface 22 and is useful also for achieving, whenever necessary, a correct positioning of the distal portion 6b at right angles to the surface 22 ( Figure 20 ).
  • the crimping tool is subjected to a vertical movement for a distance d greater than the thickness of the flange 6 and such that the bottom end of the profile 40 and of the opening 38 is still able to interfere, following upon a horizontal displacement, with the top end of the distal portion 6b ( Figure 21 ).
  • the crimping tool 36 is subjected to a horizontal movement of approach to the body of the article P so as to cause further folding inwards of the distal portion 6b ( Figure 22 ) in such a way that it is set on top of the proximal portion 6a.

  • the aforesaid operations i.e., the operations represented in Figures 20 , 21, and 22 and optionally also the operations of Figure 23 (and clinching) are carried out for further consecutive or non-consecutive stretches of the profile of the flange. For instance, when the article has a generally quadrangular profile, the aforesaid operations are carried out for each side defining the profile.
  • the crimping tool in order to reach the consecutive or non-consecutive stretches of the flange 6, the crimping tool is driven according to a translational movement in two mutually orthogonal directions.

  • performing the crimping operation along the entire flange profile does not constitute an essential and imperative aspect of the process, in so far as - in given applications - it may be desirable to maintain a portion of the flange profile not crimped, i.e., maintain a stretch of the flange profile not folded back on itself.
  • the process according to the invention thus also presents the advantage of enabling execution of the crimping operation only on a portion of the perimetral profile of the flange or on specific portions thereof that may even not be adjacent to one another.
  • the final clinching operation is optional.
  • the clinching operation (whenever necessary) can be performed in a subsequent stage with an auxiliary tool 36b ( Figure 23 ), vertically mobile under the action of motor means 42a, and provided with an opening, the internal profile of which substantially corresponds to the profile formed by the folded distal part 6b (i.e., by the folding line "s").
  • the aforesaid auxiliary tool 36b can be driven in a vertical movement until it comes into contact with the flange folded back on itself so as to perform clinching along its entire contour, in a single operation.
  • the crimping device described makes it possible to operate on articles of different shapes, by simply modifying the profile 40 of the opening or openings 38.
