Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging arrangement.
  • the present invention relates to a packaging arrangement for fluids, pastes and powders and being adapted to be located within an outer box and/or container.
  • the state of the art according to US 2013/092706 A1 discloses a packaging arrangement for the bulk handling of fluid material which includes an inner bag adapted to hold fluid material.
  • the inner bag having a product inlet through which the fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet through which the fluid material can flow from the inner bag; and a surrounding member adapted to surround the inner bag and adapted to form two air pockets or air compartments between the surrounding member and the inner bag, the two pockets having air inlets through which air can be introduced into the pocket and thereby putting pressure on the inner bag to force the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.
  • the two pockets are arranged on two sides of the inner bag and the product outlet. This leads to the disadvantage that a complete emptying of the packaging arrangement is not possible.
  • the state of the art according to WO 2010/105147 does disclose a protective carrier for portable objects and has an interior layer and an exterior layer welded together to form a compartment that is surrounded by inflatable air chambers.
  • the compartment has an opening in one end through which objects are inserted.
  • the open end may be closed with a fluid-resistant seal that rolls and is secured by buckles, making the compartment leak-resistant.
  • the air chambers which are connected together may be inflated and deflated through a valve.
  • This state of the art is far away from the invention because it doesn't has an inner bag with a product inlet and a product outlet.
  • a packaging arrangement for the bulk handling of fluid material and being adapted to be located within an outer box and/or container includes
  • the packaging arrangement is flexible.
  • the surrounding member consists of at least two layers.
  • the surrounding member may have 7 air pockets or air compartments.
  • Five of the air pockets or air compartments may be adapted to receive air.
  • Two of the air pockets or air compartments may be adapted not to receive air.
  • the air pockets or air compartments may be formed by seal lines on the surrounding member.
  • the packaging arrangement may include three air inlets to fill all the five air pockets or air compartments adapted to receive air.
  • the packaging arrangement may have a bladder shape.
  • the packaging arrangement may consist of transparent material to enable the fluids, pastes and/or powders to be visible from the outside.
  • the box and/or container may be an intermediary bulk container (IBC).
  • IBC intermediary bulk container
  • the packaging arrangement may be a liquid liner.
  • the packaging arrangement may include a manifold within the inner bag to assist in forcing the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.
  • the manifold may be a loose device inserted into the inner bag.
  • the fluid material may be powdery, paste-like, fluids and/or liquids.
  • the intermediate bulk container may have a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons or about 189 to 2000 litres.
  • the invention also extends to a method for delivering bulk material and a method for producing the packaging arrangement as described herein.
  • a gland retaining clip for intermediate bulk containers in accordance with the invention is shown.
  • the packaging liquid liner arrangement 10 for the bulk handling of fluid material and being adapted to be located within an intermediary bulk container (IBC) is comprises:
  • the packaging arrangement 10 is flexible.
  • the product outlet 16 is located at the bottom of the packaging arrangement 10.
  • the product inlet 14 is located that the top of the packaging arrangement 10.
  • the surrounding member 18 consists of two layers.
  • the packaging arrangement 10 may additionally include two air pockets 36 and 38 adapted not to receive air.
  • the air pockets or air compartments 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 36 and 38 are formed by seal lines on the surrounding member 18.
  • the packaging arrangement 10 has a bladder shape.
  • the packaging arrangement 10 consists of transparent material to enable the fluids, pastes and/or powders to be visible from the outside.
  • the box and/or container may be an intermediary bulk container (IBC).
  • IBC intermediary bulk container
  • the packaging arrangement 10 can be a liquid liner.
  • the packaging arrangement 10 includes a manifold 44 within the inner bag 12 to assist in forcing the fluid material out of the inner bag 12 through the product outlet 16.
  • the manifold 44 is a loose device inserted into the inner bag 12.
  • the fluid material can be powdery, paste-like, fluids and/or liquids.
  • the intermediate bulk container can have a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons or about 189 to 2000 litres.
  • the disclosure also extends to a method for delivering bulk material and a method for producing the packaging arrangement as described herein.
  • the arrangement can contain a fluid material which is powdery, paste-like and/or a liquid.
  • the intermediate bulk container has a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons or about 189 to 2000 litres.

Claims (6)

  1. Agencement d'emballage (10) pour la manipulation en vrac d'un matériau fluide et adapté pour être placé à l'intérieur d'un conteneur de vrac intermédiaire (IBC = Intermediary Bulk Container) comprenant un sac intérieur flexible (12) adapté à la forme pour contenir le matériau fluide, le sac intérieur ayant une entrée de produit (14) par laquelle le matériau fluide peut être introduit dans le sac intérieur (12) et une sortie du produit (16) par laquelle le matériau fluide peut fluer du sac intérieur (12); et un élément entournant (18) adapté pour entourer le sac intérieur (12) et adapté pour former des poches d'air (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) ou des compartiments d'air ayant des entrées (30, 32, 34) à travers lesquelles de l'air peut être introduit dans les poches d'air (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) ou compartiments d'air, caractérisé en ce que l'élément entournant (18) est flexible, comporte au moins deux couches et est adapté pour former au moins cinq poches d'air (20, 22, 24, 26, 26, 28) ou des compartiments d'air au moyen d'une ou de deux étanchéitées (21) entre l'élément environnant (18) et le sac intérieur (12), dont au moins une des poches d'air (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) ou des compartiments d'air est adaptée pour ne pas recevoir d'air, et dont au moins quatre des poches d'air (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) ou compartiments d'air sont adaptés pour recevoir d'air et dont au moins trois des poches d'air (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) ou des compartiments d'air sont reliés entre eux par des passages entre eux, et comprenant au moins une entrée (30, 32, 34) dans les poches d'air (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) ou des compartiments d'air adaptés pour recevoir l'air et à travers lesquels de l'air peut être introduit dans au moins quatre des poches (20, 22, 24, 26, 28,28) ou des compartiments d'air adaptés pour recevoir de l'air et exercer ainsi une pression sur le sac intérieur (12) pour donner au sac intérieur (12) une forme variable adaptée pour faciliter le guidage du matériau fluide vers la sortie du produit (16) et hors du sac intérieur (12) à travers la sortie du produit (16), et pour réduire la quantité du matériau en vrac et empêcher ainsi une fin prématurée du retrait du matériau fluide.
