Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine and method for the production of infusion products.
  • the individual sealed envelopes are then generally ordered into pre-established groups and packaged in respective boxes or hard cardboard packages for sale.
  • Packaging machines of bags or capsules comprising a feeding hopper of the envelopes to which a vertical tube of wrapping material is connected, in which groups of bags are inserted by gravity.
  • the tube is obtained by welding the end edges of a continuous strip/web of wrapping material, thus defining a longitudinal fin-shaped junction.
  • Welding means are positioned downstream of the hopper for forming a plurality of sealed containment envelopes of the bags, suitable for welding the vertical tube of wrapping material along respective transversal junctions forming a continuous succession of sealed envelopes.
  • a cutting device positioned downstream of the welding means separates each sealed envelope from the envelope connected to it.
  • a further drawback is the cost component of the wrapping material used for individually packaging the bags.
  • This component in fact, is relatively high as the vertical tube of wrapping material used in the packaging machines of the known type has a much greater diameter with respect to the encumbrance of each single envelope or capsule.
  • the longitudinal fin-shaped junction of the tube requires the use of a web of wrapping material having considerable transversal dimensions.
  • packaging machines with a vertical tube of wrapping material are machines having a relatively limited hourly production due to the maximum production rates that can be reached.
  • the advance path P has at least one section which develops along a horizontal lying plane along which closing means of the continuous web are positioned, around at least part of a respective group of articles.
  • the section of path which develops according to a horizontal lying plane advantageously allows the production rate of the packaging machine to be increased with respect to the known art.
  • the reference number 1 indicates a machine for the production of infusion products.
  • the machine 1 comprises a device 2 for producing individual articles 3, each of which comprises a dose 4 of infusion material.
  • Individual articles 3 preferably refers to bags or capsules of filter material containing infusion products such as, for example, tea, aromatic herbs, dried fruit, coffee, barley, etc.
  • a continuous succession 5 of individual articles 3 is fed, at the outlet of the forming device 2, to respective cutting means 6 suitable for separating an individual article 3 from the subsequent article, as illustrated in figure 3 .
  • the machine 1 comprises a packaging device 7 of groups 8 of individual articles 3 in a respective containment envelope 9.
  • the machine 1 comprises formation means 10 of the groups 8 of articles 3.

  • the formation means 10 comprise a withholding element 13 of the articles 3 positioned in correspondence with the formation station 12 of the groups 8.
  • the withholding element 13 is suitable for withholding the individual articles 3 during the formation 12 of the groups 8.
  • the withholding element 13 cooperates with the feeding device 11 for the formation of each group 8 of articles 3.
  • the feeding device 11 of the individual articles 3 moves along a vertical direction, in particular downwards, and viceversa.
  • An articulated system 14 moves the feeding device 11 during the formation of each group 8.
  • the withholding element 13 is equipped with a rotational movement, in particular oscillating, around a respective rotation axis 13a.
  • the rotation axis 13a is a vertical rotation axis.
  • the withholding element 13 comprises a supporting surface 15 of the articles 3 and an arm 16, hinged to the rotation axis 13a, for moving the supporting surface 15.
  • the withholding element 13 When in use, the withholding element 13 maintains a rest position in correspondence with the formation station 12 during the formation of the group 8.
  • the withholding element 13 rotates around its rotation axis 13a for disengaging the group 8 formed.
  • an abutment element 17 is engaged with at least part of the articles 3 of the group 8 for withdrawing the articles 3 from the withholding element 13, in particular from the supporting surface 15.
  • the machine 1 comprises transfer means 18 of the group 8 of articles 3 to the packaging device 7.
  • the transfer means 18 are positioned downstream of the formation station 12 of the groups 8.
  • the formation means 10 of the groups 8 feed each group 8 to the transfer means 18, as illustrated in figure 4 .
  • the feeding device 10 moves the group 8 forward towards the transfer means 18, once it has become engaged with the last article 3 of the group 8, whereas, contemporaneously, the withholding element 13 becomes disengaged with the remaining part of the groups 8 withheld during its formation.
  • the transfer means 18 comprise a conveyor 19 rotating around its rotation axis 19a.
  • the closing means 28 join the two continuous webs 27, i.e. the first and second continuous web 31, 32, around at least part of a respective group 8 of articles 3 so that the groups 8 of articles 3 are interposed with respect to each other.
