  • the bags are made in the field on site prior to filling or alternatively supplied as a prefabricated bag and then filled.
  • the customer has to decide how he wants to supply the machine with bags. A subsequent conversion of the machine or a corresponding conversion is associated with considerable effort.
  • the invention is based on the object to further develop methods and devices of the type mentioned above, in particular with regard to the simplest and most cost-effective convertibility of the packaging machine.
  • a method for achieving this object has the features of claim 1. It is accordingly provided that the packaging machine is also assigned a magazine for prefabricated bags, from which the bags are taken alternatively or additionally to the production of the bags on the packaging machine and subsequently filled.
  • This solution has the particular advantage that a complex to complex conversion of the packaging machine from a way of providing the bag to another type of provision omitted.
  • the bags are taken over by means of at least one feed device either coming from the packaging machine or from the magazine and are preferably fed to a turret for filling.
  • the feeder may be configured to selectively accept bags in one of two ways.
  • the feeder can also be designed to be exchangeable in a simple manner, so that a change between the two paths is possible in a simple manner.
  • the feed device is designed so that in each case a plurality of bags are forwarded for filling in one step, preferably in each case a corresponding number of several bags are filled simultaneously on the turret in one step.
  • the bags are fed to the magazine as groups of bags, preferably in compartments of a Mit psychologybandes of the magazine, and that the bag from the magazine, preferably from the subjects of Mit videbandes, by means of a singulator and fed one after the other to the feeder and be handed over to the revolver.
  • a device according to the invention for solving the problem set out has the features of claim 5. It is therefore provided that the packaging machine is also associated with a magazine for prefabricated bags, from which the bags can be removed and subsequently filled as an alternative or in addition to the production of the bags on the packaging machine.

  • the device has a feed device, for taking over the bags either from the packaging machine or from the magazine and for transferring the bags preferably to a revolver for filling the bag.
  • both the packaging machine and the magazine each have a feed device is assigned, each of which is only for handling bags from the packaging machine or the magazine determined and activated, preferably such that the feeding through the same drive are actuated.
  • Another peculiarity may consist in that the magazine is formed by a Mit psychologyband, being formed by drivers of Mit psychologybands subjects or separated and wherein the drivers are held at a distance from the Mit supportiveband on a guide or guided, such that the inclination of the Driver is controlled.
  • the bags are removed from the magazine by means of a separating device and transferred to the feeder, wherein in the field of transfer of the bag from the magazine to the singling device another Mit favorband is arranged, such that the bag in the transfer laterally by a driver of the Mit repertoires are supported.
  • the Mit supportiveband is arranged circumferentially in a vertical plane, wherein the driver projecting towards the Mit supportiveband outward, and wherein the drivers are pivotally mounted on Mit favorband and are guided at a distance from the Mit supportiveband via roller lever in a curved track, such that the carriers are arranged during the circulation of the Mit supportivebands in predetermined, different inclinations.
  • Another special feature may consist in that the bags can be removed from the magazine in the region of an underside of the carrier belt and can be fed along an ascending conveying path in the direction of the feed device, wherein the bags can be conveyed and conveyed in a downwardly directed section of the conveyor line before reaching the feed device the feeder can be handed over.
  • the invention will be described below with reference to a packaging machine 11 for (tobacco) bags (10). It is understood that the bags (10) need not necessarily be intended for receiving tobacco products, but may also be suitable for receiving other products.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 show two different variants of a bag 10, namely a so-called wrap bag ( Fig. 1 ) or a side-folding bag ( Fig. 2 ) in each case in the open position.
  • the bags 10 have a pocket 12 for receiving a bag contents and a (cover) tab 13. Since the basic structure of winding bags and side folding bags is known, will not be discussed further below. In any case, these two bag types are shown only as examples of possible bags 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic overview of a packaging machine 11 for the filling of bags 10.
  • the packaging machine 11 on the one hand, a film web 14 are supplied, which is then processed during the further transport path to bags 10.
  • the steps required for this purpose are completely known from the prior art, so that a description of the details is omitted.
  • the packaging machine 11 has a magazine 15 for bags 10, with which ready-made or prepared for filling bag 10 can be provided.
  • the bag 10 produced from the film web 14 and the bag 10 originating from the magazine 15 are fed to a feed device 16, 17, which serves to transfer the bags 10 to a revolver 18.
  • a feed device 16, 17 which serves to transfer the bags 10 to a revolver 18.
  • the bag 10 are filled in a filling station 19 and then transferred the filled bag 10 from the turret 18 to a conveyor line 20 and transported away.
  • the use of a revolver 18 is a preferred solution, but not necessarily for the implementation of the invention.
  • a special feature of the packaging machine 11 on the one hand the arrangement of the magazine 15 in addition to the production of the bag 10 from a film web 14.
  • bags 10 can be supplied both from the magazine 15 and fed via the production of film web 14.
  • the two corresponding conveyor lines both end in the area of the revolver 18, which then fills the bag 10 supplied on one or the other path.
  • the bags 10 are alternatively produced only from the film web 14 or removed from the magazine 15. You can then switch between these two alternatives. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the same kind of bag 10 is produced from the film web 14, which is also located in the magazine 15. More likely, however, is that a different type or type of bag 10 is located in the magazine 15 than is produced by the film web 14, so that it is possible to switch between the production of different bags 10.
  • the revolver 18 is designed double-lane, so that in a work cycle each two bags 10 passed to the turret 18 and filled after rotation of the revolver 18 in the filling station 19.
  • the feeders 16, 17 are pivotally formed, as in Fig. 5 indicated.
  • the feeders 16, 17 are pivoted away from the circumference of the revolver 18.
  • the feeders 16, 17 are pivoted again against the circumference of the revolver 18. The feeding of the bags 10 to the feeders 16, 17 can take place while these are pivoted away from the circumference of the revolver 18.
  • Fig. 11 shows analogously the supply of bags 10 from the magazine 15.
  • the supply of the bag 10 made of the film web 14 is not active.
  • the feeder 17 has been shut down. In the present case this is due to disassembly the feeding device 17 takes place. Recognizable is only a receptacle 21 for the feeder 17. It is also conceivable only a deactivation.
  • the bags 10 are transferred from the magazine coming to the feeder 16, while this is pivoted back from the scope of the revolver 19. Thereafter, the feeder 16 is pivoted against the turret 18, so that the bag 10 can be handed over.
  • the magazine 15 is displaceably mounted in the longitudinal direction, namely between a working position ( Fig. 3 and 11 ) and a ready position ( 4 and 5 ). Furthermore, in Fig. 4 nor a maintenance position indicated, in which the magazine 15 is further retracted from the turret 18 as in the standby position.
  • the magazine 15 is retracted in the ready position relative to the working position by 200 mm to make room for the feeder 17.
  • the magazine 15 may be retracted by 1,000 mm from the working position to perform maintenance on the magazine 15 or other parts of the packaging machine 11. Constructively, this can be like in Fig. 9 be solved shown. Accordingly, the magazine 15 is slidably mounted on roller guides 22 on a stationary base frame 23.
  • a plurality of bags 10 are fed together as a bag group 28 in each case a tray 26. This can for example be done manually by an operator or by a feeder. Subsequently, the bag groups 28 are transported on the driver belt 24 in the direction of a singulator 29. With the help of the singulator 29, the bags 10 are separated from the bag groups 28 and fed along a conveyor line 30 of the feeder 16, namely individually and at a distance from each other. The feeder 16 then passes the bags 10 to the turret 18 in the manner already described.
  • the carrier belt 24 is arranged in a circumferential direction in a vertical plane so that the bag groups 10 can be conveyed downwards in the vertical direction after being fed, namely in the direction of the singling device 29.
  • the drivers 25 are arranged in an inclined plane.
  • a second carrier band 31 is arranged adjacent to the transport path of the bag groups 28, the carriers 32 of which support the bag groups 28 at least partially laterally.
  • the bag groups 28 or bags are guided via guide rails 33, 34 to the separating device 29.
  • the separating device 29 is arranged at the lowest point of the transport path of the bag 10 and transfers the bag 10 individually to the subsequent conveying path 30, which extends ascending in the direction of the feed device 16. In the present case, the bags 10 are held between conveyor belts.
  • the bags 10 Before transferring the bags 10 to the feeder 16, the bags 10 are directed into a downwardly directed portion of the conveyor line 30. In this area ( Fig. 12 ), the bags 10 are held on under pressure applied conveyor belts 34 and fed to the feeder 16 and passed to this.
  • the magazine 15 is constructed two lanes with two juxtaposed Mit videbs 24, which are each guided over pulleys 35.
  • the drivers 25 are designed as tine-like organs, wherein the baffles 33 extend between the tines of the driver 25.
  • the transport path of the bag groups 28 is also delimited laterally by shaft walls 36.
  • cheeks 37 are arranged laterally of the two driving belts 24.
  • driver 25 are mounted on roller lever 38 in a curve track 39.
  • the carriers 25 are pivotally mounted on Mit Economicsband 24 and connected at the pivot point with the roller levers 38.
  • the curved track 39 is embedded on the cheeks 37 on the inside at a certain distance from the driving band 24. In this way, the inclination of the driver 25 can be controlled independently of the deflection of the Mit supportivebands 24.
  • Fig. 10 shows a section of the illustration according to Fig. 6 on an enlarged scale. It can also be seen that the separating device 29 with a subsequent section of the conveying path 30, which is formed by a pair of transport belts 40, is mounted on rail guides 41 and can be pulled out laterally for maintenance purposes.
  • FIG. 13 another view of two bags 10, which are located in the region of the feeder 16.
  • the feeder 16 thus has two receiving pockets 42, in which the bags 10 are held in the region of lateral edges.
  • the conveyor belts 34 are each formed as a pair of narrow suction belts, which are guided over deflection rollers 43.
  • the packaging machine 11 does not necessarily have to be designed in two lanes, as in the exemplary embodiment shown. A one or more than two-lane operation of the device is conceivable.
  • the film web 14 is fed to the revolver 18 along an L-shaped transport path.
