Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of containers from containers with at least the following steps: the containers are separated and optionally equipped with at least one adhesive defining at least one adhesive or adhesive application on its surface; - The containers are then formed into a container group and connected to each other at their respective adhesive or adhesive application to the respective desired container.
- Such a method for producing containers from containers is described, for example, in DE 10 201 1 106 759 B3 or also DE 10 201 1 107 264 A1 of the Applicant.
- the core of this is to simplify the production of containers and also to improve the visual appearance.
- containers are in practice previously prepared by a shrink wrap wrapped around a group of formed container and shrunk under summary of the container. This results in additional processing steps and is also a special film required.
- the film at least clouds the view of, for example, labels or imprints on the containers, so that the visual appearance leaves something to be desired.
- the known procedure has proven itself in principle. However, the removal of individual containers from the container is not always easy. In fact, the individual containers may be basically any containers. In general, however, beverage containers are used here, such as PET bottles, even glass bottles, cans, soft packagings made of cardboard and / or plastic film and / or metal foil, etc.
- the adhesive used is any imaginable material or mass, with the help of which an adhesive connection between the containers is possible.
- (plastic) hotmelt adhesives are used here, ie thermally fusible adhesive systems which develop cohesion (internal strength) after cooling.
- cohesion internal strength
- a wide temperature application range is required for the adhesive used and, in addition, the possibility of being able to peel off the adhesive or the entire adhesive or adhesive application from the surface of the container.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a method for the production of containers from containers so that with simple and cost-effective production and sufficient mechanical stability of the manufactured container yet handling is simplified compared to the previous approach.
- each of these individual adhesive or adhesive jobs again be designed so that the two differently designed adhesives each describe sub-areas of the respective adhesive or adhesive job.
- the individual adhesive or adhesive orders are designed differently from each other. In the simplest case, this can be realized in such a way that the adhesive or adhesive jobs deviate from one another with respect to their extent and / or their layer thickness and / or their composition and / or their pretreatment. For example, it is conceivable to work with adhesive or adhesive jobs which have a greater extent in the inner region of the container than at its periphery.
- the container located inside the container are particularly firmly connected to each other, whereas the container at the periphery of the container can be easily (he) replaced.
- the invention makes use of the fact or circumstance that a large-scale adhesive or adhesive application typically also corresponds to an increased adhesive force. Because this adhesive force is generally measured in N / mm 2 . Consequently, the larger the adhesive or adhesive application is dimensioned in terms of area, the higher the adhesive power provided.
- the individual adhesive or adhesive jobs may also differ with regard to their layer thickness.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that the containers, which are each to be packaged together, are typically designed to be largely cylindrical. As a result, cylinder surfaces must be mutually held liable with the help of the adhesive or adhesive application. The larger the layer thickness of the associated adhesive or adhesive application is dimensioned at this point, the greater the surface effecting the adhesive effect and consequently the adhesive force.
- the adhesive or adhesive orders can also differ in terms of their composition.
- the individual adhesive or adhesive jobs are defined, for example, by reference to a single adhesive or by means of two or more differently formed adhesives.
- the adhesive power provided by the respective application it is of course also possible to vary the adhesive power provided by the respective application as desired.
- the pretreatment of the adhesive or adhesive application for the adhesive power provided plays a crucial role. So it is conceivable, for example, that individual adhesive or adhesive orders on a underside coating or a coating can be applied, with the aid of which the adhesive force can be increased or decreased.
- the mentioned pretreatment may also be a conceivable crosslinking of the adhesive used.
- the aid of such crosslinking for example UV crosslinking, the constituents can be polymerized, as a result of which the cohesion grows and also the adhesive power provided.
- the individual adhesive or adhesive jobs of the respective container considered can be interpreted differently.
- the invention recommends that the at least two differently shaped adhesives of the respective container differ from each other in terms of their chemical and / or physical properties.
- the adhesive force of the respective adhesive or the adhesive or adhesive application produced with its aid is typically given in N / mm 2 .
- adhesive forces in the range of about 0.1 N / mm 2 to 1 N / mm 2 .
- peel strength can be designed differently. Peel-off is the ability of the adhesive to adhere to or detach from the container, for example by applying a predetermined force and measuring the time it takes to reach the container Adhesive or adhesive ittel varieties is detached from the container. The shorter the peeling time, the lower the peel strength and vice versa.
- the design will be such that the local adhesive or adhesive jobs are defined in the interior or center of the container with an adhesive whose peel strength tends to be greater than that in the outer region of the container at its periphery.
- the inner cohesion of the container is mechanically supported, but at the same time allows easy detachment of peripherally arranged container.
- the two differently shaped adhesives can be used to define a particular adhesive or adhesive application.
- one will usually proceed in such a way that the two differently formed adhesives each occupy part surfaces of the adhesive or adhesive application thus defined.
- the partial surfaces can in principle adjoin one another.
- the partial surfaces are spaced apart from each other and have a preselected configuration.
- the particular adhesive for defining the adhesive or adhesive application is applied selectively to the surface of the container to be equipped in this way, different configurations similar to the "eyes" in a cube are possible in this way.
- the "eyes" can be formed by the respective different adhesives.
- the adhesive or adhesive agent orders are placed within the container in different vertical and / or horizontal positions on the associated container.
- the associated container - from the ground - relatively easy to solve from the container. Because usually work is done with adhesive or adhesive jobs, which are realized in pairs, that is, to find both the belly and the bottom of the container in question.
- the invention recommends, as a further variation possibility, that the adhesive or adhesive jobs are mounted within the container in different radial positions on the associated container.
- This attachment in the different radial positions will be explained in more detail with reference to the description of the figures.
- the peeling of the container concerned favors and its removal from the container can be facilitated.
- the adhesives used can be designed differently not only with regard to their adhesive strength and / or the peel strength. But it is within the scope of the invention, of course, the further and additional ability to work with a one hand, heat-resistant adhesive and a cold-resistant adhesive on the other hand.
- the heat-resistant adhesive is typically suitable for applications in the temperature range of about 10 ° C to 45 ° C.
- For the cold-resistant adhesive you will have a Provide temperature range of, for example -6 ° C to 20 ° C. In this way, the manufacture of the container can consistently and globally in the same manner and with recourse to matching adhesives. Depending on the outside temperature or ambient temperature, either the heat-resistant adhesive or the cold-resistant adhesive unfolds its desired effect.
- hot melt adhesives have proven to be particularly favorable as a rule.
- Such hot melt adhesives generally refer to a thermally meltable adhesive system which, upon cooling, develops cohesiveness.
- a hot melt adhesive basically consists of one or more polymers, supplemented by additives.
- the invention recommends inter alia ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyolefins (APAO), polyamides (PA), rubber adhesives (SIS / SBS) and others.
- EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
- PA polyolefins
- PA polyamides
- SIS / SBS rubber adhesives
- additives such as waxes or resins, such as tackifiers (tackifiers) can be added.
- tackifiers tackifiers
- Tackifiers reduce the cohesion and at the same time increase the stickiness and consequently the achievable adhesive power.
- Examples of adhesives which can be used at this point are described in DE 103 93 236 T5, DE 101 16 022 A1, DE 197 48 978 A1, DE 692 18 238 T2, to give just a few examples.
- the container is initially designed foil-free, so can be omitted in practice still used step of a film impact, the film shrinkage and also the provision of the film.
- the containers produced by the process according to the invention have a perfect visual appearance, because the labels can be read easily and in particular eliminates the label covering or covering foil.
- the containers which are combined to form the container are perfectly coupled to one another with the aid of the adhesive or adhesive jobs, so that the mechanical stability of the container is comparable to that of a container with film wrapping. As a result, problems in handling and transport are not to be feared.
- the containers can be easily removed from the container.
- the removal or the extraction of the individual containers from the container according to the invention is particularly simple, because in the realization of the container with at least two differently formed adhesives and / or adhesive or adhesive jobs is worked.
- the adhesive force between the containers of the container can in principle be designed differently from position to position. Usually you will work with high adhesive forces in the center of the container, which decrease towards the periphery. This makes it particularly easy to detach the outer container from the container.
- the invention opens up possibilities of variation such that the adhesive forces are or can be designed differently not only in the horizontal direction with respect to the container, but also in the vertical direction. That is, in the direction of the container longitudinal axis or in the vertical direction can also be used with different adhesive forces.
- the invention opens up the possibility of being able to precisely adapt the adhesive and thus also the adhesive or adhesive application realized with the aid of the respective adhesive to the container used for the container in each case.
- a variation is possible so that the size of the container, the shape of the container, the size and weight of the container etc. can be easily accommodated.
- the individual containers for example, initially not yet finally formed in alleys and provisional container groups are formed.
- there is a separation of the containers in each alley such that in the transport direction, the containers in each alley have a predetermined distance from each other.
- the respective containers are aligned by controlled rotation about the associated container axis.
- the respective container is equipped with an alignment feature, in order then to make the adhesive or adhesive application after the gas division.
- the aligned containers are connected to each formed compacted and formed container groups by, for example, connecting a container equipped with the respective adhesive or adhesive application to a container without such an application.
