Definitions
- This invention relates to a machine for forming filter-bags containing infusion products.
- infusion products means products such as tea, coffee, camomile (in powder, granules, or leaves).
- a machine according to the invention is used for forming filter-bags of the so-called two-lobed type, that is to say, filter-bags comprising a single piece of filter paper defining two separate and closed chambers.
- Each chamber contains a dose of infusion product.
- the two chambers are folded towards each other forming a single upper end (in the shape of an upturned "V") and a bottom end in the shape of a "W".
- the filter-bag may be equipped with a thread for association with a gripping tag.
- That patent document describes a machine structured along a forming and feeding line on which are positioned:
- the carousel transfers the filter-bag thus formed on a release and orientation unit configured to release the filter-bag to a stacking unit.
- a release and orientation unit configured to release the filter-bag to a stacking unit.
- the orientation and releasing unit (shown from patent document EP762973 in the name of the same Applicant) comprises:
- the drum moved stepwise about an axis parallel to the axis of the carousel, has, precisely, the duty of receiving, rotating and releasing the filter-bags inside the stacking unit for preparing groups of filter-bags for their final packaging.
- the stacking unit comprises a fixed tubular conduit oriented in a radial direction relative to the drum, and having an end opening positioned facing the surface of the drum.
- the placing means comprise a compacting head positioned above the drum which is able to push the filter-bag into the pocket.
- orientation and release unit comprises an element for ejection of the filter-bag, when the respective pocket of the drum is positioned facing the stacking unit.
- the ejector element has a pushing head and an actuator element configured to couple the pushing head to the bottom of each pocket, when the latter is facing the stacking unit.
- Each pocket has a plurality of through holes in it, made on its bottom, which can be engaged by the pushing head to allow contact with the filter-bag and the consequent ejection thrust from the pocket towards the stacking unit.
- this modification has generated a significant increase in the weight of the filter-bag in its entirety (by summing the weight of the two chambers) and, for this reason, operational difficulties have been encountered.
- the structure of the orientation and release unit is designed to obtain a positioning and a corresponding release of the single filter-bag using the partial elastic deformability of the filter-bag, that is, the guarantee of a correct housing of the filter-bag is left to the snap fitting force generated on the filter-bag.
- the latter in fact, is forced to enter into the pocket of the drum and, subsequently, pushed out from the pocket itself to drop into the stacking unit.
- an increase in the weight of the filter-bag may create problems for positioning the filter-bag inside the pocket of the drum during stepwise rotation of the latter due to centrifugal forces applied to the filter-bag.
- an incorrect positioning of the filter-bag or a greater resistance of the filter-bag to the thrust generated by the ejection head may create breakages on the filter-bag.
- the current structure of the orientation and release unit does not guarantee a correct stability of the filter-bag in the pocket of the drum and its integrity during release towards the stacking unit.
- the aim of this invention is to provide a machine for forming filter-bags for infusion products which can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks. More specifically, the aim of this invention to provide a machine for forming filter-bags for infusion products which is able to operate at high production speed even with heavy and large filter-bags.

- the machine 100 comprises a forming unit 2 (schematically illustrated with a block in Figure 1 ) configured to form individual pieces of tubular filter paper, each having at least one chamber 3 containing the dose D1 of infusion product (preferably two chambers 3, 30 with corresponding doses D1, D2) distributed between the upper end 1a and the closed bottom end 1b of the piece of filter paper.
- a forming unit 2 (schematically illustrated with a block in Figure 1 ) configured to form individual pieces of tubular filter paper, each having at least one chamber 3 containing the dose D1 of infusion product (preferably two chambers 3, 30 with corresponding doses D1, D2) distributed between the upper end 1a and the closed bottom end 1b of the piece of filter paper.
