Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for partially embossing sealed blanks and to a method for partially embossing sealed blanks.
- Food containers are often sealed today with sealable lids. This is especially true for foods that are consumed directly from the container.
- the containers are usually formed directly in a device, filled with the intended product and then sealed with a sealing plate.
- prefabricated containers are filled in a machine and sealed with a sealing plate.
- FS machines fill-seal machines
- the sealing plates required for closing the container are usually prefabricated sealing plates, which are produced in large numbers and stored or transported in stacks
- the sealed blanks are fed to the food handler by means of a feeder, for example, to the above-mentioned fill-seal machines and sealed directly onto the edge of the filled container, often in addition printed and according to the contours of the container Since the sealing plates are transported and delivered in stacks, the sealing plates must be unstacked again by means of the feeding device and fed individually to a filled container Atinines, however, cause them to stick together with considerable adhesion in the stack (glass plate effect).
- EP 1 790 470 describes a method for partially embossing covers, wherein the geometric position of the embossing tool is adjustable to the film web.
- the partial embossing takes place in such a way that successive covers are not congruently embossed and is preferably introduced only at every second cover.
- DE 1 940 970 describes stackable closure caps made from a coated film or the production thereof.
- the production takes place by means of a punching and a stamping tool, the latter being rotatable.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method for producing partially embossed sealing boards, which can be processed easily and trouble-free.
- the terms partial embossing of sealing blanks and partial embossing of sealing blanks are used synonymously in the present case and understood as embossing a part of the surface of the sealing blank.
- the object is achieved by a device according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 12.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
- An apparatus according to the invention for partially embossing deep-drawn or flat sealed blanks which are punched out of a foil strip comprises an embossing tool and a punching tool.
- the embossing tool comprises two half tools, a male and a die.
- the desired deep-drawing contour or the three-dimensional relief is imaged by means of mechanical processes on the male.
- the patrix has the three-dimensional relief in a raised and mirror-image form.
- the counterpart of the patrix, the die or stamp has the three-dimensional relief in laterally correct and recessed form.
- On the contoured side of the male part three-dimensional elements are arranged in an outer area and in a central area.
- the male part and the female part are rotatably supported in their spatial position about an axis A which is essentially perpendicular to the film strip.
- embossing and punching tool are combined in a tool.
- the film web is gradually shifted in the transport direction or machine direction of the device.
- the embossing tool arranged in front of the punching tool generates the desired contour or embossing by means of a lifting movement by deep drawing in the sealing plate, before the next lifting movement takes place, the foil strip is moved in transport direction via corresponding transport means, that the foil strip or the now partially or partially embossed sealing plate on the position of the punching tool comes to lie, where it is punched out of the foil strip during the next stroke movement of the punching tool.
- the male part and the die of the stamping tool are rotatably mounted about an axis A, which is substantially perpendicular to the film strip, can be achieved by an angle ⁇ about the axis A by a simple rotation of the male and the female part, that no two successive sealing plates, which come to rest after punching in a stack to each other, have a congruent embossing.
- the male and female of the embossing tool are rotated synchronously and in the same direction by the same angle ⁇ . This avoids unwanted binding of the partially embossed sealing plates during unstacking in a simple and advantageous manner.
- the rotation of the male and female molds with respect to the film strip between each stroke movement ensures the desired registration mismatches.
- the embossing tool again comprises two half tools, one male and, as a second half tool, an elastic medium.
- the male part is rotatably supported in its spatial position about an axis A substantially perpendicular to a foil strip.
- the function of the matrix takes over the elastic medium.
- the elastic medium is preferably designed in the form of an ink pad.
- the circumferential contours of the ink pad preferably correspond to the circumferential contours of the male. They are for example cylindrical or circular cylindrical.
- Male and elastic medium are aligned exactly to each other, that is, their axes are substantially perpendicular to a foil band aligned.
- the elastic medium has no three-dimensional relief in the correct lateral and recessed form as has a conventional die. This is not necessary due to the elastic medium.
- the partial embossing of the film strip is achieved by exerting a sufficiently large pressure of the elastic medium on the lying between the elastic medium and the male film strip.
- the elastic medium Since the elastic medium has no three-dimensional relief, it is not necessary that it is rotatably mounted about an axis A substantially perpendicular to a foil strip.
- the elastic medium is therefore preferably not rotatably supported about the axis A. This brings a constructive simplification of the embossing tool with it.
- the elastic medium can have any shape for generating a sufficiently large stamping pressure.
- the elastic medium in the form of an ink pad, whose peripheral contours correspond to those of the male.
- the elastic medium comprises hard rubber. It is also possible to use other elastic media, for example plastics, for example elastomers, preferably thermoplastic elastomers.
- the three-dimensional elements are arranged randomly in the outer and in the central region. Particularly preferably, the three-dimensional elements are arranged randomly in the outer region. In a further embodiment, the three-dimensional elements in the outer region and in the central region of the male are arranged on circular lines, preferably at regular intervals.
- the three-dimensional elements can have different shapes.
- it may be cylindrical, preferably circular cylindrical, projections which extend substantially perpendicularly away from the surface of the male.
- the individual three-dimensional elements have a different height. That is, the patrix has three-dimensional elements, one part of which has a first height, while the other three-dimensional elements have a second one of the first has different height. It is also possible that there are even more groups of three-dimensional elements having, for example, a third and a fourth height.
- the male part is rotatably supported by an angle ⁇ .
- the angle ⁇ corresponds to the midpoint angle of a circular sector, which is defined by two adjacent three-dimensional elements.
- the angle ⁇ is in a preferred embodiment in a range of 2 ° to 90 °, more preferably in a range of 3 ° to 45 ° and most preferably in a range of 4 ° to 15 °.
- the three-dimensional elements can be designed differently as already stated and, for example, have different heights.
- the three-dimensional elements have a height in the range of two to five times the thickness of the film strip. Particularly preferably, they have a height in the range of three to four times the thickness of the film strip. Again, all three-dimensional elements may have the same height within the specified ranges, or the three-dimensional elements may have two or more different heights. Three-dimensional elements of different heights further reduce the effect of stacking sealed platelets sticking together.
- a typical thickness of films or film strips which are used for the production of sealing plates according to the invention is in the range from 20 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m, preferably in a range from 24 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m, and particularly preferably in the range from 30 ⁇ m to 36 ⁇ m.
- Two examples of typical thicknesses for the films used are 25pm and 35pm. From this it is possible to determine the most preferred ranges for the height of the three-dimensional elements, which are three to four times the thickness corresponds to the film strip used.
- the height of the three-dimensional elements is in the range of 60 ⁇ to 20 ⁇ , preferably in the range of 72 ⁇ to 160 ⁇ and more preferably in the range of 90 ⁇ ⁇ to 144 ⁇ .
- the areas corresponding to two to five times the film thickness can be determined for the height of the three-dimensional elements.
- the height of a three-dimensional element is measured from the film surface, on the film side on which the three-dimensional elements rise, to the tip or end face of a three-dimensional element.
- the area of the male part encompassing the outer three-dimensional element directly adjoins the edge of the male part. Furthermore, the outer area is arranged concentrically to the central area. The central area also has three-dimensional elements at least on its outer periphery.
- the die and the male of the embossing tool are adapted in their contour or their circumference of those of the sealing plate. The same applies to the contour of the punching tool.
- the die and the male of the embossing tool have a circular contour or a circular circumference.
- embossing tool and the punching tool are arranged adjacent and both tools are operable synchronously.
- the inventive method for producing partially embossed sealing plates for containers, in particular for food, is carried out on a device described above.
- a continuous film strip of the device is fed via rollers.
- the film strip is preferably already pre-printed and then wound up on a roll.
- the continuous foil tape with the previously printed sealing boards are fed to the embossing tool.
- the transport of the film strip is gradual and between the feed steps, the foil strip is stationary.
- the partial embossing of the sealing plate is produced by means of a lifting movement by the embossing tool or its male part.
- the lifting movement of the embossing tool can also be done by means of the die or the elastic medium.
- the foil strip or the now partially embossed sealing plate is moved forward in the transport direction and positioned over the punching tool.
- the partially embossed sealing plate is punched out and stacked via a collecting channel.
- the male part and the die of the stamping tool are rotated by at least one angle ⁇ about an axis A that is substantially perpendicular to the foil strip.
- the embossing tool and the punching tool are operated synchronously, that is, with each stroke movement of the punching tool and a partial embossing of the film strip or the not yet punched-off sealing plate is performed.
- the embossing tool of which comprises two half tools, a male part and an elastic medium
- the rotational movement of the elastic medium, which takes over the function of the die is preferably eliminated.
- the male is rotated between two strokes of the punching tool by an angle ⁇ .
- the angle ⁇ is in a preferred embodiment in a range of 2 ° to 90 °, more preferably in a range of 3 ° to 45 ° and most preferably in a range of 4 ° to 15 °.
- the angle ⁇ 4.39 °.
- the male is thus rotated between two strokes by the rotation angle of 4.39 °.
- the angle ⁇ is small, so that the rotation of the male in the process does not speed limiting.
- the patrix and the die after a first rotation by the angle ⁇ between two strokes by an angle ⁇ in the opposite direction of rotation is rotated back.
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of a male part
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of a male, with these in two different
- Fig. 3 shows a cross section through a section of a male.
- FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a male part 1 of an embossing tool.
- the male part 1 is rotatably supported about an axis A and has an outer region 3 and a central region 5.
- Both the outer region 3 and the central region 5 comprise three-dimensional elements 7.
- the three-dimensional elements 7 are arranged in the outer region 3 on two concentric circular lines.
- the central region 5 also has three-dimensional elements 7 arranged on its circular circumference. However, the region lying between the outer region 3 and the central region 5 is free of three-dimensional elements 7. Shown below is the contour of the sealing plate 9, which extends virtually in its periphery to the edge of the male part 1.
- FIG. 2 shows the male part 1 from FIG. 1 in two different rotary positions.
- the male part 1 of the first rotational position by an angle ⁇ in the two Twisted position The arranged in the outer region 3 of the male part 1 on two concentric circular lines three-dimensional elements 7 are arranged offset on the two circular lines, so that after a rotation of the male part 1 by an angle ⁇ about the standing substantially perpendicular to the male axis A each have a three-dimensional element 7 of the inner concentric circle line to lie on the angular position on which was prior to rotation, a three-dimensional element 7 of the outer concentric circular line and vice versa.
- Figure 3 shows a cross section through a section of a male part 1 with three-dimensional elements 7, T and 7 "with different heights.
