  • IBCs intermediate bulk containers
  • an inliner according to claim 1, wherein the inliner comprises a thin-walled, flexible film, an adapter for connecting the film to an opening in the container wall of the inner container of the pallet container, and a fitting for removing the transported material, wherein the film , the adapter and the fitting form a prefabricated composite, and wherein the area enclosed by the film, the adapter and the fitting is sealed airtight from the environment.
  • the inventively provided adapter connects the film with the fitting and also provides the ability to incorporate the composite of the film, the adapter and the valve as a prefabricated, airtight unit in the opening of the container wall of the inner container of the pallet container and expand again if necessary.
  • the adapter is designed as a substantially rotationally symmetrical molded part, in particular a plastic molded part.
  • the adapter is designed as a substantially pot-shaped part, wherein the cup-shaped part comprises a bottom and a side wall.
  • the substantially cup-shaped part can be easily arranged and fixed within the opening of the container wall, in particular substantially form-fitting manner.
  • the side wall is tapered, so that the adapter is received centered within the opening in the container wall of the pallet container.
  • the cup-shaped part has a folded over edge region.
  • the folded over edge area serves as a support surface or cover or seal receptacle for a sealing ring of a seal.
  • the edge region is U-shaped or L-shaped, and that a seal is arranged in the edge region.
  • the seal can as Sealing ring in the U-shaped or L-shaped parked portion of the adapter to be added.
  • the adapter is designed as a substantially flat annular disc.
  • the annular disc may have a welding edge on the edge.
  • the adapter of the inliner is attached to the inner container by means of a screw cap, wherein a thread of the screw cap with a provided at the opening of the container wall counter thread engages, and wherein the screw cap engages over the adapter.
  • screw caps are readily available as standard parts and allow removal of the liner after use by simply loosening the screw cap.
  • the adapter of the inliner is fixed by means of a material connection, in particular by means of a welded connection, at the opening of the container wall.
  • Fig. 1 shows an inliner for filling with a liquid cargo, wherein the inliner is provided so that the liquid cargo is received within the inner container of a pallet container, in particular within the inner container of a so-called.
  • Intermediate bulk container (IBC's) IBC's
  • the inliner comprises a thin-walled, flexible film 1 made of a plastic such as polyethylene, wherein the film 1 is formed as a hose open on one side.
  • the inliner further comprises an adapter 2 for connecting the film 1 to an in Fig. 1 not shown in the container wall of the inner container of the IBC.
  • the inliner finally comprises a fitting 3 for removing the transported goods received in the film 1.
  • the film 1, the adapter 2 and the fitting 3 form a prefabricated composite, wherein the region enclosed by the film 1, the adapter 2 and the fitting 3 is sealed airtight to the environment.
  • the enclosed area is germinated in particular by a prior irradiation with high-energy radiation and sterile.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the formed as a unilaterally open tube film 1 at the open end has a stiffening ring 4, with which the film 1 is connected to the adapter 2.
  • the adapter 2 is formed as a substantially rotationally symmetrical molded part, in particular plastic molded part, which is produced in particular by injection molding.
  • the adapter 2 is designed as a substantially pot-shaped part, wherein the cup-shaped part comprises a bottom 5 and a side wall 6, and wherein the bottom 5 has an opening 7, such that cargo can pass from the film 1 to the valve 3.
  • the stiffening ring 4 of the film 1 is fixed to a first side of the bottom 5 of the adapter 2.
  • the fitting 3 is fixed, so that the adapter 2, the solid compound of the film 1 with the armature 3 mediates.
  • the side wall 6 of the adapter 2 is in particular also off Fig. 1 recognizable that the side wall 6 is slightly tapered to the film 1 is formed towards.
  • the designed as a cup-shaped part adapter 2 has a folded edge region 8, wherein the edge region 8 is substantially U-shaped, so that between the inner leg and the outer leg 9 of the 'U' a sealing ring of a seal 10 is arranged.
  • the fitting 3 comprises a flap cock 11 and a connecting piece 12, whose end portion is fixed to the second side of the bottom 5 of the adapter 2.
  • the continuous inner region of the inliner extending from the tube of the film 1 and the stiffening ring 4 of the film 1 and the opening 7 of the bottom 5 of the adapter 2 and the connecting piece 12 as far as the flap valve 11 of the fitting 3 is airtight and sterile with respect to Environment trained.
  • Fig. 3 shows the assembly of the formed as a prefabricated, airtight and sterile unit assembly formed the inliner at an opening formed as an outlet opening 13 of a pallet container.
  • the inner container 14 is formed as a dimensionally stable plastic part with substantially cuboidal dimensions, wherein the plastic part has a defined, cuboidal shape even without filling.
  • a retracted portion is centrally formed at the lower edge, on which an outwardly extending Anformung 16 on the outside has a thread and inside a smooth surface.
  • the film 1 is guided through the opening 13 in the inner region of the inner container 14, such that the adapter 2 comes to rest with the outside of the side wall 6 to the inside smooth surface of the Anformung 16.
  • the outer leg 9 of the U-shaped folded over edge region 8 then closes flush with the end of the outside thread of the Anformung 16.
  • the thus pre-fixed in the opening 13 adapter 2 is attached to the inner container 14 by means of a screw cap 17, wherein a thread 18 of the screw cap 17 with the provided on the shape 16 of the opening 13 of the container wall 15 thread as a mating thread to the thread 18 of the screw cap 17th engages, and wherein the screw cap engages over the adapter 2.
  • the screw cap 17 has a lid with a bore, wherein the fitting 3 passes through the bore.
  • the adapter 2 of the inliner is secured to the opening 13 of the container wall 15 by means of a material-fit connection, in particular by means of a welded connection.
