Definitions
- the invention relates to a thin-walled rigid plastic inner container with an inliner for a pallet container or similar large-volume container for storing and transporting liquid or flowable filling goods, comprising two longer side walls, a shorter rear wall, a shorter front wall, an upper floor with closable filler neck and a container bottom , where a lower removal area is provided in the center of the front wall with a molded housing-shaped recess directed inwards into the plastic inner container for the protected, recessed arrangement of a closable removal fitting, and a flexible inliner made of thin-walled plastic material is placed in the rigid plastic inner container. or composite film is used, which is connected at the top to the filler neck and / or at the bottom to the discharge nozzle with the discharge fitting of the rigid plastic inner container.
- Pallet containers (usual trade name: "Intermediate Bulk Container” - hereinafter also referred to as "IBC” or “IBCs”) are used to a large extent for the storage and transport of - especially dangerous - liquid or flowable filling goods, especially in the chemical industry .
- IBCs are mainly used to transport liquid chemicals. Most of these chemical products are classified as dangerous liquid fillings because they are harmful to humans and animals in a concentrated form and are hazardous to the environment.
- the chemicals can contaminate the HDPE material of the plastic inner container such as e.g. B. discolor, contaminate, embrittle or damage that the used inner container can not be easily washed and used.
- IBCs are used more than once, all that remains is to replace the damaged plastic inner container with a new inner container. If you consider that a plastic inner container can weigh approx. 14 kg to 18 kg depending on the requirement profile, this poses one costly solution with not inconsiderable waste of plastic material.
- a more cost-effective solution is to protect the plastic inner container from contamination by the respective filling material by means of a thin inliner or foil sack, thereby enabling the inner container to be reused or reused several times , Then only the contaminated inliner needs to be disposed of and a new inliner used to continue using the IBC. Depending on the film thickness, an inliner for a 1000 liter IBC only has a weight of approx. 0.7 to 1.3 kg of plastic mass.
- IBCs containers up to 1250 I are common
- Containers with an inner container with a protective housing molded into the inner container for A set-back fitting that is protected against external influences is not very useful for these simple inliners because they constantly cause problems when handling with installation, filling, removal and removal from the rigid inner container, in particular, this necessarily leads to wrinkling in the area around the lower outlet.
- the inliner cannot lie against the entire front wall of the inner container and there are free spaces or cavities to the side of the protective housing of the inner container below the inliner.
- the inliner is pressed through the liquid contents onto the protective housing and to the side of the rigid inner container.
- the inliner also inevitably pulls out of the lateral corner areas of the rigid inner container, and here too there are unavoidable folds of the thin-walled inliner, if perhaps more on both sides and no longer directly in front of the outlet opening of the removal nozzle.
- the problem of wrinkling is not completely solved here either.
- the thin-walled inliners are fastened with their lower flexible discharge nozzle to the lower rigid discharge nozzle and with their flexible filler nozzle to the upper rigid filler nozzle of the plastic inner container and otherwise hang freely from top to bottom.
- the liquid filling material is usually filled into the inliner with even higher process temperatures under pressure or with a sharp jet. A strong flutter of the film material often occurs. Quite often, the inliner base is pulled out of the corners of the container and folds form, which can later clog the base-side removal opening when the contents are removed.
- the inliner and its liquid content bobble back and forth due to external transport fluctuations in the upper area or air space of the plastic inner container, so that constantly fluctuating tensile loads act on the upper filler neck of the inliner and tear the film material or the flange weld of the liner socket can tear open on the upper liner wall.
- expensive stress-resistant film materials have to be used for the production of the inliners.
- composite films with high barrier properties only have very poor stress resistance and cannot be used for many applications.
- the present invention is based on the object of specifying a plastic inner container with an integrated inliner for pallet containers (IBC) or other large-volume container for storing and transporting, in particular, dangerous liquid or flowable filling goods, which no longer has the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular Wrinkling of the inliner inside the rigid inner container during assembly, as well as with pressure filling with liquid contents and emptying of the contents, is avoided with a high degree of certainty.
- the use or handling of the containers with inliners should not differ in any way from the handling of containers without inliners due to their special design.
- the proposed technical teaching opens up improved handling safety of IBCs and other large-volume container systems with shape-matched inliners for use in IBCs and other large-volume containers with blow-molded plastic inner containers with a protective housing molded inwards into the inner container for a recessed, protected arrangement of the removal fitting within the outer lattice cage or other container of the pallet container or other large-volume container system. It has been found that customers do not accept it and refuse further use of thin-walled inliners in IBCs if this leads to leaks in the inliner and / or faults in the removal of filling material, e.g. B. comes from bottom-side wrinkling of the inliner, which clog the removal nozzle of the rigid plastic inner container from the inside.
- the constructive measures of the present invention also ensure that the value of high-quality, reusable plastic inner containers is maintained through the trouble-free use of inexpensive inliners or foil bags, so that with regard to the valuable object of blow-molded plastic inner containers there is no longer any unnecessary waste of material.
- the cube-shaped flexible inliner in the lower removal area also has an inward-facing, recessed wall recess with two, corresponding to the protective housing-shaped molding of the rigid plastic inner container (hereinafter also referred to synonymously as "removal fitting protective housing”) has lateral wall parts, an upper and a rear wall part with a flexible removal nozzle formed thereon, and is designed to fit snugly against the inner surface of the molded-in protective housing protruding into the interior of the rigid plastic container.
- the cube-shaped flexible inliner is welded together from three blank parts and an upper horizontal cover part with one central filler neck, a lower horizontal base part with a recess corresponding to the bottom shape of the wall indentation and a vertical peripheral side wall cut part with surface portions for the two side wall parts, as well as the upper and the rear wall part of the wall indentation of the inliner.
- the three cut parts each with a weld seam running horizontally on the outer edge of the upper cover part and on the outer edge of the lower base part, and for closing the side wall cut part with one in the middle of the front wall and through the middle of the Wall indentation are welded together vertically from top to bottom.
- the three cut parts each with a weld seam running horizontally on the outer edge of the upper cover part and on the outer edge of the lower bottom part and for closing the side wall cut part with one vertically in the middle of the rear wall are welded together at the top and bottom, wherein in the middle of the front wall a vertical weld from top to bottom down to the wall indentation is provided for the removal of excess film portion above the wall indentation.
- the weld seam of the welding advantageously does not run through the upper and rear wall part of the wall indentation of the inliner.
- the position of the welded-on annular disk-shaped flange edge of the flexible inliner removal nozzle is then also free of a continuous vertical weld seam.
- the length of the upper horizontal weld seam is shorter than the length of the lower horizontal weld seam, or the upper weld seam circumference of the upper cover part is shorter than the lower weld seam circumference of the lower bottom part, and the front vertical weld seam of the side wall -Cut part is longer than the height of the inliner cube.
- the inliner is inflated with compressed air after insertion and welding to the rigid filling and removal nozzle of the plastic inner container and excess air from the space between the outer surface of the inliner and the inner surface by vacuum pumps of the plastic inner container is completely removed until there is no more air and no space between the inliner and the plastic inner container, so that a stable vacuum is set, which after gas-tight sealing of the container opening through which the excess intermediate air was pumped out, while of the entire intended use of the pallet container remains until the next time the used inliner is replaced.
- the flexible inliner is welded gas-tight and liquid-tight with its upper filler neck to the upper filler neck of the rigid plastic inner container and with its lower thin-walled discharge neck to the lower drain neck of the rigid plastic inner container. while the entire outer surface of the inliner used is in active contact with the entire inner surface of the plastic inner container and is non-positively connected to it. This ensures with the greatest possible certainty that folds can still form in the inliner in front of the lower discharge nozzle.
- the inliner sits in the plastic inner container, so to speak, like a second skin.
- an additional container opening can be arranged at any suitable location in the top floor.
- the container opening is preferably designed as a 2-inch bung opening, which can be closed gas-and liquid-tight with a 2-inch bung plug - preferably with a built-in one-way valve. If necessary, a vacuum / compressed air pump is connected to the container opening.
- Reference number 10 denotes a pallet container with a plastic inner container (12) according to the invention for storing and transporting, in particular, dangerous liquid or flowable filling goods.
- the pallet container 10 fulfills special test criteria for use or for the use of dangerous liquid filling goods and is provided with a corresponding official BAM approval (Federal Office for Material Testing).
- the pallet container In a version with a filling volume of approx. 1000 l, the pallet container has 10 standardized dimensions with a length of approx. 1200 mm, a width of approx. 1000 mm and a height of approx. 1150 mm.
- IBCs with other dimensions and a smaller or larger filling volume of 800 I to 1300 I are also common.
- the main elements of the pallet container 10 shown consist of a thin-walled rigid inner container 12 produced in the blow molding process from thermoplastic, a tubular lattice frame 14 which tightly encloses the cubic plastic inner container 12 as a supporting jacket, and a base pallet 16 on which the plastic inner container 12 rests and with which the tubular lattice frame 14 is firmly connected.
- the outer tubular lattice frame 14 consists of horizontal and vertical tubular bars 18, 20 which are welded to one another. In order to obtain a closed lattice cage as an outer container, the annular tubular tubular bars 18 which are encircling the ring are each firmly connected to one another at a connection point.
- the floor pallet 16 is designed as a composite pallet with an upper steel sheet support plate, with a steel tube support frame arranged underneath and with plastic corner and center feet.
- a label 22 made of thin sheet steel is attached to identify the respective liquid product.
- a removal fitting 24 is connected to the center of the bottom of the plastic inner container 12 for removing the liquid filling material.
- the cube-shaped plastic inner container 12 has two longer side walls, a shorter rear wall, a shorter front wall, an upper floor with closable filler neck 30 and a container bottom, with a lower removal area with an inward area in the middle of the front wall
- protective housing-shaped recess 26 for the protected recessed arrangement of the closable removal fitting 24 is provided.
- a thin-walled, likewise cube-shaped flexible inliner 28 (also referred to as a film bag) is inserted in each time before the pallet container 10 is refilled the rigid plastic inner container 12 is used, which is connected at the top to a filler neck 30 and below to a removal nozzle 32 of the rigid plastic inner container 12.
- This cube-shaped flexible inliner 28 is in Figure 2 shown schematically for itself - without the enclosing plastic inner container 12.
- the inliner 28 In contrast to the rigid plastic inner container 12, which in its handling always remains dimensionally stable, the inliner 28 is not itself dimensionally stable due to its thin walls, but very flexible, compliant and adaptable.
- the wall thickness of the usually multilayer inliner composite film is approximately 100-150 ⁇ m with a weight per unit area of approximately 100-150 g / m 2 ; this results in a material weight of approx. 0.7 - 1.3 kg for a 1000 l inliner sack.
- the inliners used are usually made of multi-layer plastic composite film.
- the wafer-thin composite layers made of different materials such. B.
- the composite film is equipped with barrier layers against hydrocarbon, oxygen or water vapor diffusion or with an aseptic bacteria-killing coating or a vapor-deposited silver-containing or aluminum-containing metal film.
- the welded-on inliner sockets ie the Tapping spout 42 and filler spout 44 are made from the same flexible multilayer film material as the remaining film wall of the inliner 28.
- the cube-shaped flexible inliner 28 is distinguished by the fact that in the lower front removal area it has an inwardly directed, adapted wall recess 34 with two lateral wall parts 36, an upper one, corresponding to the protective housing-shaped recess 26 of the rigid plastic inner container 12 Has wall part 38 and a rear wall part 40 with molded-on flexible removal nozzle 42, which is designed for completely fitting contact with the inner surface of the protective housing-shaped protrusion 26 into the interior of the rigid plastic inner container 12.
- This wall indentation 34 of the inliner 28 is shown here in a box shape for better clarity.
- the walls and wall transitions can of course also be trough-shaped, strongly rounded, flattened and / or merging, but in any case be adapted to the respective protective housing-shaped recess 26 of the rigid plastic inner container 12.
- the flexible inliner 28 has a cubic shape for a conventional 1000 l pallet container with a length LI of approximately 1150-1190 mm, a width BI of approximately 950-990 mm and a height HI of approximately 950-1050 mm , The length dimensions should be adhered to with a plus / minus tolerance (+/-) of 2 mm. In terms of production technology, the cube-shaped flexible inliner 28 is welded together from three blank parts.
- the three cut parts are provided with two weld seams 54, 56, which run horizontally on the outer edge of the upper cover part 46 and on the outer edge of the lower bottom part 48, and for closing the side wall - Cut part 52 welded together in the middle of the front wall and through the center of the wall recess 34 vertically from top to bottom weld 58.
- the length of the upper horizontal weld seam 54 for an inliner for a volume of approximately 1000 l is ie the upper weld seam circumference approx. 4100 - 4150 mm
- the length of the lower horizontal weld seam 56 ie the lower weld seam circumference approx. 4265 - 4310 mm
- the front vertical weld seam 58 approx. 1050 - 1100 mm.
- the inliner 28 can of course also be welded together in a different way from several blank parts.
- the upper filler neck 44 of the flexible inliner should have a diameter of approximately 145 mm or 225 mm and a length of approximately 300 mm, and the lower flexible removal nozzle 44 should have a diameter of approximately 2 inches (2 "), 3 inches (3") or 150 mm and at least 100 mm long.
- the filler and removal ports 44, 42 of the flexible inliner 28 are each folded over and overturned by the filler and removal ports 30, 32 of the rigid plastic inner container 12, and welded tension-free on the inside into the rigid filler neck 30 and the removal neck 32 and then cut to the appropriate length.
- FIG 4 the upper fill area of the rigid plastic inner container 12 with molded filler neck 30 and filler neck 44 of the flexible inliner 28 welded thereto can be seen in a partial sectional view.
- the flexible filler neck 44 is tightened on the one hand over a narrow flange 68 on the top of the inliner 28 and on the outside upwards, is aligned in the correct position according to an invisible "circle" marking, then turned inside out over the rigid filler neck 30 and over a larger ring weld seam 72 firmly and torsionally welded on the inside just below the end face of the rigid filler neck 30 in a gastight and liquid-tight manner, after which the excess hose piece of the flexible inliner filler neck 44 is cut off flush.
- the container opening 64 is preferably designed as a 2-inch bung opening which can be closed in a gas-tight and liquid-tight manner with a 2-inch bung plug - preferably with a built-in one-way valve. If necessary, a vacuum / compressed air pump is connected to the container opening 64.
- FIG. 5 In a partial sectional view, the lower removal area of the plastic inner container 12 with molded rigid removal nozzle 32 and the radially welded-in extraction nozzle 42 of the flexible inliner 28 can be seen.
- a square is cut out of the wall of the rigid plastic inner container, the cutting line running through the removal nozzle 32, through the molded-in protective housing 26 and a small piece of the front wall of the plastic inner container 12, so that in the cut-out square adjacent inliner 28 with curved wall recess 34 - indicated by a large number of vertical lines - can be seen.
- the hidden left rear part of the wall indentation 34 is also indicated with dashed lines.
- the square cutout clearly shows that the flexible removal nozzle 42 on the inside or on the back via a narrow welding flange edge 66 on the rear wall part 40 of the wall indentation 34 of the inliner 28 and on the outside via a smaller radial ring weld seam 70 in FIG rigid extraction nozzle 32 is welded gas and liquid tight.
- the important thing here is - as in Fig. 5 to recognize - that the inliner 28 with its form-fitting wall indentation 34 rests over the entire surface like a second skin on the inner surface of the indentation 26 of the rigid inner container 12, so that no gaps or voids can remain between them, as was previously the case with known IBCs was the case with standard inliners.
- a major advantage of the second skin inliner is that the film sack does not require high tear resistance against fluttering when filling or sloshing the liquid filling material during transport movements, since there is no movement of the inliner film material here because it is firmly and permanently open the inside of the plastic inner container 12 is vacuum-sealed and, as it were, is in contact with it.
- inexpensive, crack-sensitive film materials with high barrier properties can now be used.
- the upper flexible filler neck 44 and the lower flexible removal neck 42 of the flexible inliner 28 are expediently produced from the same film material with the same barrier properties as the film material of the flexible inliner 28.
- Known inliners are often injection molded from thermoplastic like LDPE prefabricated filler neck and tapping spout with molded flange for welding with the multilayer composite film material of the inliner. These filler neck and tapping spout are usually also somewhat thicker and stiffer. However, they themselves have no barrier properties.
- Such inliners with injection / filler neck are suitable for oxygen-sensitive liquids such. B. fragrances for perfume production or additives for food production are not suitable.
- the filling / removal ports (42, 44) are provided with the same barrier properties as the inliner 28 itself and disadvantageous diffusion processes penetrating plastic material are excluded.
- the inward-facing protective housing-shaped indentation 26 into the plastic inner container 12 for the protected recessed arrangement of the lockable removal fitting 24 does not have to be strictly box-shaped, as is shown in the drawings as an exemplary embodiment, but can of course also be shaped like a trough with soft rounded housing side walls. Accordingly, the shape-matched indentation is then formed in the thin-walled inliner.
- the rigid plastic inner container with inserted inliner can also be used in another large-volume surrounding outer container with a pallet-like substructure instead of in a pallet container with an outer supporting tubular frame and base pallet.
- This could e.g. B. a stable full plastic container or a stiff cardboard box with wooden pallet.
