Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve bag according to the preamble of claim 1, as he is known from the utility model DE 88 05 092 is known.
  • valve sacks are well known and are widely used commercially for fine-grained bulk materials such as cement, gypsum, granules, animal feed or the like.
  • the usual sizes are 5 kg, 10 kg and 25 kg.
  • the bottom of the valve comprises a hose-like thermo valve, the inside of which is coated with a hot-melt material and which is activated by Melt the heat and close the valve tube.
  • the thermal material does not provide sufficient rigidity and strength to attach the valve tube to a filler neck of a filling system can. For this reason, a paper slip is placed around the thermal material for reinforcement.
  • FIG. 1 A corresponding valve bottom is in the FIG. 1 outlined.
  • the figure shows the valve bottom 2 of the valve bag 1, which is folded onto the front side of the valve bag 1.
  • the valve bottom 2 is opened to illustrate the valve assembly.
  • the entire valve bag 1 has a cross-bottomed fold.
  • the valve 5 consists essentially of the thermal material 6 that forms the inside of the valve tube and is glued to the substrate 7. It can be seen that the thermal material 6 assumes a larger surface area compared to the carrier material 7. In particular, the thermal material surface protrudes in the axial valve direction, i. in the direction of the inner end of the valve, beyond the inner edge of the carrier material 7 addition. Consequently, the thermal material 6 forms the main component of the valve tube 5 and the comparatively high unit price of the thermal material 6 causes high production costs for the valve tube 5 or the valve bag 1.
  • Object of the present invention is to optimize the cost ratio of the materials used and to reduce the overall cost of producing a valve sack with thermal valve.
  • valve bag according to the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the valve bag are the subject of the dependent subclaims.
  • the areal proportion of the thermal material is chosen smaller than the areal proportion of the carrier material.
  • the thermal material surface is shorter relative to the carrier material surface in the axial valve direction.
  • the higher proportion of material of the resulting valve tube is mainly determined by the natural carrier material, in particular paper.
  • the chemically treated and mostly costly thermal material therefore only takes up a lower proportion of material.
  • the manufacturing costs can be reduced, which is particularly noticeable in high-volume products.
  • the desired valve properties in particular its tightness and handling, can be maintained.
  • the thermal material is shortened compared to the embodiment of the prior art, whereas the carrier material is extended accordingly.
  • the thermal material surface is shortened towards the inner end of the valve tube. Since the thermal material surface or carrier material surface usually represent rectangular surfaces whose length define the valve tube circumference and the width of which determines the valve length, the thermal material is shortened by reducing the width of the thermal material surface, ie. H. in axial valve direction. In particular, the area fraction in the region of the valve tube end located inside the valve bag body is reduced.
  • the resulting valve tube has an almost constant strength or rigidity in the axial direction.
  • a constant strength is desirable and necessary in order not to destroy the valve after attaching the valve tube to the filler neck of the filling plant and the subsequent use of a Blähmanschette.
  • the thermal material main component of the valve tube Previously, a constant strength was ensured by the use of the thermal material main component of the valve tube.
  • the now protruding region of the carrier material is reinforced in order nevertheless to be able to ensure constant strength in the axial valve direction.
  • the carrier material is turned over in the protruding area, in particular over the entire width, i. the complete valve circumference at the inner valve end.
  • the strength is increased in this area, in particular doubled.
  • a substantially constant strength over the entire length of the valve is achieved in a particularly simple manner.
  • an improvement in the backward compatibility with existing bottling plants can be achieved in a simple manner.
  • FIG. 2 shows the valve bag according to the invention with the invention shortening of the thermal material used.
  • modify Valve tube corresponds to the configuration of the valve bag substantially the known from the prior art solution.
  • the figure shows the valve bag 10 according to the invention with folded forward floor 20 at the bottom and a valve bottom 30 at the top. Both bottoms 20, 30 are connected to each other via the front 40 and a rear side, not shown, and folded like a cross-bottom. To illustrate the valve assembly, the valve bottom 20 is not folded, but shown open.
  • valve tube 50 projects beyond the upper and lower corners of the valve bottom 20 on the left valve bottom side.
  • the valve tube 50 is composed of a thermal material 60, a weldable plastic material, and a carrier material 70, for example paper, wherein the thermal material 60 forms the inner surface of the valve tube 50 and the carrier material 70 envelops the thermal material 60.
  • the valve bag 10 can be plugged for filling on a filler neck of a filling machine.
  • the thermo valve 50 by the action of z. B. welded by ultrasonic energy, whereby the valve tube 50 closes reliably.
  • valve materials 60, 70 used are modified to suppress the cost per piece of valved bag 10 produced.
  • the main component of the valve tube is now formed by the natural carrier material 70.
  • the otherwise higher proportion of material of the chemically treated thermal material 60, weldable plastic material has been reduced.
  • Both support material 70 and thermal material 60 have a rectangular shape, whose longitudinal sides extend transversely to the axial direction of the valve tube 50.
  • the FIG. 2 shows the valve bottom 20 in the open state. By folding the valve bottom 20, the valve tube 50 is formed by the lengthwise punched rectangular materials 60, 70.
  • the thermal material 60 is shortened in width and the carrier material 70 is widened in return. Due to the uniform shortening / broadening of the valve materials 60, 70, the total valve length Y is not changed. Nevertheless, a substantial portion of the thermal material 60 can be saved, which not only brings economic benefits, but also appears to be useful from an ecological point of view, since z. B. the necessary energy consumption in the production of the thermal material and its disposal decreases.
  • the projecting region X of the carrier material 70 is reinforced according to the invention by transfer, since the thermal material 60 otherwise contributing to the reinforcement is missing in this region.
  • the protruding edge X of the carrier material 70 is turned over in order to achieve sufficient strength in this area.
  • a double-layered carrier material 70 having approximately the same strength values as the multi-layer region of thermal material 60 and carrier material 70 is obtained in the region not coated with thermal material.
  • the carrier layer 70 may also be handled several times.
  • FIGS. 3a, b and 4a, b show examples of possibilities for the realization of the above-described envelope of the carrier material 70th
  • FIG. 3b shows a section through substrate 70 and thermal material 60 along the line AA in FIG. 3a
  • the carrier material 70 is folded downwards, that is to say on the side facing away from the thermal material 60. Due to the envelope, the carrier material is double-layered in the protruding areas X and thus reinforced.
  • FIGS. 4a, b show a different embodiment of the envelope, wherein the FIG. 4b again a section along the line AA in FIG. 4a shows.
  • the carrier material 70 in the region of the supernatant X is turned upwards, ie on the thermo material 60 side facing.
  • the cover of the carrier material and the thermal material 60 is put on impact.
