Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packing machine and a method for filling dusty products such as bulk goods in open sacks.

  • Packing machines, in which open sacks are formed from tubular films, are also called Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) systems.
  • FFS Form-Fill-Seal
  • the bulk material to be filled is taken from a product supply and introduced through a filler neck into the open sack which is attached for filling.

  • a suction takes place, wherein the extracted air is supplied to a dust filter.
  • dust filters usually consist of depth filters, in which often multi-layered fiber filters are arranged one above the other. If the bulk material to be filled is changed in such packing machines, then different material accumulates in the depth filter, so that no clean-sorted material is recovered when cleaning the dust filter, but a mixed product, which must be discarded.
  • a disadvantage of such a device is that constantly large amounts of ambient air from the environment of the hopper must be extracted. This requires a high energy requirement. In addition, the equipment required is large, since large amounts of exhaust air must be processed.

Characterized in that the bulk material or the product is introduced at high speed into the open sack, there is an overpressure in the form of a pressure surge, the air possibly already present in the open sack together with introduced air and a certain amount of dust relatively quickly and possibly even abruptly repressed. Due to the local overpressure, the escaping displacement air is passively pumped into the collecting space, where the dust content can settle.

  • the displaced from the open-mouth bag 3 during the filling and dust-laden air is introduced via the lateral air discharge lines 19 along the air flow 35 via the flow connection 21 into the collecting container 14.
  • the collecting container 14 is connected to the environment 26 via a pipe 25 and a filter 28 at the end of the pipe 25.
  • the width 21a of the flow connection preferably corresponds to the contact surface between the filler neck 11 and the collecting container 14.
  • the filler neck 11 has a width 11a which is greater than the width 18a, which in turn is greater than the width 21a of the flow connection.
  • the width 21a of the flow connection is here greater than 1/4 or even 1/2 of the width of the filler neck 11a. The same applies to the flow cross sections, so that the flow cross section of the flow connection is greater than 1/5 and preferably greater than 1/3 or 1/2 of the flow cross section of the filler neck 11.
  • a calming volume 15 is present in the sump 14.
  • the settled product 16 can be discharged through a connected line. If necessary, a controllable closure 23 is provided at the bottom of the collection container 14.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a filler neck 11 for a packing machine FIG. 1 ,
  • the filler neck is weighed together with an attached bag 3 in gross procedures.
  • a weighing device is also provided as a sensor 38 on the collecting container 14.
  • the weight sensor 38 detects the weight of the collecting container 14, so that the amount of the deposited product 16 can be detected.
  • a flexible hose is provided as a flow channel 33 between the filler neck 11 and the collecting container 14.
  • the flexible hose may extend over the entire length or only a portion. Again, the conditions mentioned for the dimensions and flow cross sections apply.
  • a tube 25 with a displacement volume 27 can be provided on the collecting container 14.
  • the end is again provided with a filter 28. If the sump 14 is sized large enough, it may be possible to dispense with the tube 25.
  • a vacuum lance 32 is shown as a compression device 30, which can dip during the filling process or after the end of the filling process from above into the open bag 3 to vent the interior of the open bag 3.
  • FIG. 5 shows an approximately to scale side view of an embodiment of a packaging machine 1 according to the invention, in which above the frame 40, a product supply 5 is provided, which is followed by a metering 6.
  • the metering 6 promotes the product in an intermediate container 7, from which the product. 2 is passed through the filler neck 11 in an attached bag 3 on.
  • a collecting container 14 serves to calm the displaced from the bag 3 during the filling air, which passes through the flow connection 21 into the collecting container 14. In the collecting container 14, the containing product settles at the bottom of the collecting container.
  • the volume of the collecting container 14 including the volume of the flow channel and the displacement volume is preferably greater than 1/10 and in particular greater than 1/6 or 1/4 of the volume 3a of the offset sack 3.
  • the ratio can also be 1: 2 or greater.
  • the volume can also be greater than the volume 3a of the open sack.
  • the settled product 16 is conveyed through the product conveyor 17 as required and here again fed to the collecting container 7.
  • the intermediate container 7 is weighed separately with a weighing device 12 ', so that a filling in the net method is made possible.
  • the quantity 10 to be filled is first of all weight-collected in the intermediate container 7 and then introduced into the open-mouth bag 3.
  • the invention has considerable advantages. Due to the fact that the air displaced out of the open sack 3 during the filling in a collection container 14 is passed, which has a calming volume 15 and is preferably connected via a pipe 25 with a displacement volume 27 with the environment 26, the most essential part of the product contained in the discharged air can be recovered sorted. Sufficient time is available in the collecting container 14, so that the dust content contained in the air settles out and can be discharged as a settled product 16. Depending on the size of the collecting container 14 and the receiving capacity of settled product 16, the emptying or the removal of the settled product 16 after each filling or at certain time intervals or the like can take place. Preference is given to a product return after each filling process, when it comes to a homogeneous particle size distribution in the bags.
  • the invention does not require a large-scale dedusting system, which has to process the entire air displaced from the open bag 3.
  • a dedusting system can be used with significantly smaller capacity, for example, to dedust the gap on a telescopic filler neck. As a result, less than half or even less than a quarter of the dedusting capacity of conventional packaging machines is generally required.
  • the product 16 deposited in the collecting container can be reused in a pure type and is refilled here during the next filling process. This means that even with a product change only relatively small cleaning work is necessary.
