Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging system suitable for filling box-shaped packaging units.
  • the packaging system according to the invention was developed specifically for processing low packaging units, being packaging units such as for example boxes and crates with a maximum (filling) height of 300 mm.
  • the known packaging systems which are based on the principle in which a bag is placed in a box, the so-called bag-in-box, comprise a bag-placing station (bag inserter) configured to place a bag in a packaging unit, a filling station configured to fill the bag placed in the packaging unit with a product, a heat-sealing station to heat-seal the bag and a conveyor device suitable for moving a packaging unit along the various stations.
  • bag-placing station bag inserter
  • a filling station configured to fill the bag placed in the packaging unit with a product
  • a heat-sealing station to heat-seal the bag
  • a conveyor device suitable for moving a packaging unit along the various stations.
  • the conveyor device is formed by a conveyor belt or roller track which is configured to transport the box past the various stations.
  • the conveyor device is further provided with two closed conveyor belts which will fix the film on both sides by suction using a vacuum system (see Fig. 2 ) during transportation of the box.
  • the conveyor belts move the film (bag) at the same speed as the speed with which the cardboard boxes on the conveyor belt or roller track move.
  • the film length which is required in order to make folding in and heat-sealing possible can thus be held stretched while filling the bag with product.
  • the vacuum belt system also has a number of other drawbacks: easily loses the film, consumes a large amount of energy and, in addition, the system quickly becomes soiled.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by providing a packaging system suitable for filling box-shaped packaging units, comprising a bag-placing station configured to place a film for forming a bag in a packaging unit, a filling station configured to fill the bag placed in the packaging unit with a product, a heat-sealing station to heat-seal the bag, and a conveyor device suitable for moving a packaging unit between the various stations, wherein the conveyor device comprises a number of sets of corner elements over which a part of the film is foldable, wherein each set is suitable for moving concomitantly with a packaging unit during transportation past the various stations, and wherein each set of corner elements serves as a support during filling of the bag.
  • corner elements As a result of the presence of the corner elements, the placed bag no longer has to be stretched, unlike in the past, as a part of the film is foldable over the corner elements. Consequently, the drop height of the products to be packaged can be reduced.
  • the corner elements (corner profiles) will serve as a support during filling and will thus assume the function of the box flaps.
  • the corner elements are preferably positioned in the vicinity of the corners of the packaging unit (box) and may be viewed as virtual box flaps.
  • the conveyor device comprises two spaced-apart guide rails on which packaging units are displaceable.
  • the conveyor device may also be designed in the form of a conveyor belt or transport roller. Said guide rails preferably extend in a straight line.
  • the conveyor device of the packaging system comprises a displacement system for moving the various sets of corner elements.
  • the conveyor device on which the packaging units are moved and the displacement system of the corner elements will move synchronously with each other, so that the corner elements move at the same speed as the packaging units.
  • the bag-placing station, the filling station and the heat-sealing station are arranged in line with each other.
  • the corner elements of one set are mutually displaceable with respect to each other.
  • the packaging unit is a box or crate with a maximum height of 300 mm, preferably at most 200 mm.
  • the packaging unit is preferably made of cardboard, plastic or metal.
  • the packaging system (1) according to the present invention and as can be seen in Fig. 3 , is provided with corner elements (5) which assume the supporting function of the box flaps. They secure a film (3) (from which the bag is made) during filling of boxes or other packaging units (2). Because the required length of film (3) is again folded down over the four corner elements (5), the drop height of the product is significantly reduced.
  • the corner elements (5) are provided on a displacement system (4) as a result of which they can synchronously travel along with the crate/film past all 3 stations.
  • the bag In the first station (A), the bag is placed in the crate and the film is pulled (loosely) over the various corner elements (5) to a sufficient degree to provide support during the move to the second station (B) for filling.
  • the corner elements move slightly outwards in their guides, as a result of which the film is pulled tight over the corner elements (5). In this way, the filling opening becomes larger and the film is clamped securely in an optimum manner during filling.
  • the corner elements (5) move back towards each other, as a result of which the film becomes somewhat looser again and can consequently readily be stripped off, stretched, folded and heat-sealed. Subsequently, the set of corner elements (5) move back to the first station (A). The crates themselves continue to move on a conveyor belt or roller track.
  • the width of the displacement system (4) on which the corner elements (5) are provided may be set. In this way, the system can be set to a specific crate width. Also, the corner elements may be placed further apart on their guide (according to crate length). The presence of the film is checked on the four corners of the box. To this end, a blow pipe with stop (not shown) is pressed against the corner elements. In the corner elements (5), in particular in the plate-shaped support element (7), a (blow) opening (8) is configured to this end.
  • the packaging system (1) has various advantages: a low drop height for the product during filling by folding the film (3) over the various corner elements (5) of a set, the possibility of using thin films (from approximately 15 ⁇ m) with crates, an automatic replacement of the film roll is possible by using prefabricated bags on a roll.
