Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of mounting methods of a container manufacturing facility.
- the invention relates to the field of container manufacturing facilities, and in particular, the installations comprising a conveying table for transporting hollow bodies, in particular preforms made of thermoplastic material.
- the conveying table comprising:
- each transfer wheel comprising hollow body support members at its periphery;
- a rigid common chassis which rotates all the transfer wheels by means of individual rotational guiding means, the axes of rotation of the transfer wheels being held parallel by the frame, two adjacent transfer wheels being tangent.
- the term “hollow body” will be used to generically refer to finished containers, intermediate containers being processed (forming, labeling, filling), and preforms.
- a mass-production facility of containers is formed of several modules arranged to form a manufacturing line. Some modules are formed by hollow-body treatment stations. These treatment stations are interconnected either by air conveyors, with a container support at the neck, or by conveyors endless belt with a support of the containers at their bottom.
- This type of manufacturing facility has the great advantage of allowing a free disposition of the stations. However, it has the big disadvantage of taking up a lot of ground space.
- Another type of bulk container manufacturing facility is formed of several modules arranged to form a manufacturing line. Some modules are formed by hollow-body treatment stations, while other modules are formed by conveying tables connecting the treatment stations to each other with a transport containers by their neck all along the production line.
- module applies to a set of elements carried by a frame, the module being transported and deposited in a block during installation of the installation.
- the assembly of a large-scale production facility for containers is an operation that requires precision so that the hollow bodies can circulate fluidly through the installation.
- the conveying tables are designed to hold the hollow bodies during their conveying.
- the hollow bodies are thus likely to travel at high speed without falling.
- the conveying tables generally comprise a succession of transfer wheels, sometimes called star wheels, which are equipped at their periphery with individual hollow body support members such as notches that support the neck of the hollow body.
- the support members are for example formed by clamps which grip the hollow body by its neck.
- the transfer wheels of the conveying table are carried by a common frame, thus enabling the transfer wheels of the conveying table to be placed in a single block.
- the conveying table comprises a single actuator member which rotates all the transfer wheels by means of transmission members.
- the transmission members are capable of transmitting the chain rotation movement between the adjacent transfer wheels.
- the term "heaviest” module means a module that requires the use of bulky lifting instruments, such as a crane, to be moved. This module will be called “reference module”. This is usually the forming station that can weigh up to several tens of tons.
- this reference module is positioned, successively arranges, following the flow path of the hollow bodies, the different modules starting from this reference module.
- a first conveying table is deposited on the ground at the output of the reference module.
- the position of the first conveying table is corrected so as to be aligned with the reference module so that the hollow bodies issuing from said module can be correctly supported by the first upstream transfer wheel of the conveying table.
- the frame of this first conveying table is fixed to the frame of the reference module.
- a next module is deposited on the ground at the exit of the first conveying table. Its position is corrected to be aligned with the first conveying table, then the module is fixed. This is for example a filling station or a labeling station.
- the assembly of the manufacturing facility continues thus until the installation of the last module.
- the position of each subsequent module is individually corrected with respect to the position of the reference module.
- the various modules traditionally comprise transport means of the preforms which are fixedly carried by a frame of said module.
- the correction of the position of each module therefore requires moving the chassis of the module into a block. This is possible because of the relatively low weight of these modules relative to the weight of the reference module. It is thus possible to correct the position of these modules to align them correctly with the previous modules, for example by pushing the chassis by means of mallets.
- Such a new module is for example installed downstream of the reference module with interposition of a conveying table to allow the transport of the hollow bodies from one to the other.
- a conveying table to allow the transport of the hollow bodies from one to the other.
- the document WO2012107172 proposes to have transfer wheels supported by individual frames to replace the conventional conveying table having a frame common to all transfer wheels. Such a solution makes it possible to correctly position the end transfer wheels with respect to the two modules.
- the invention proposes a method of mounting a container manufacturing installation comprising at least a first module and a second module, and a conveying table interposed between the two modules for conveying the hollow bodies from a transport device of the invention. exit of the hollow bodies from the first module to an input transport device hollow bodies of the second module, characterized in that it comprises successively the following steps:

- the position of the second conveying table is corrected with respect to the position of the coating station 32.
- the wheel 38G adjustable transfer of the first conveyor table 30 made according to the teachings of the invention allows to come to position the transfer wheel 38G adjustable in a tangent manner with respect to a non-adjustable upstream end transfer wheel of the second conveying table.
- the conveyor table 30 made according to the teachings of the invention retains the advantages of a single rigid frame 46 which makes it possible to transport the conveyor table 30 in a block. The positioning of the conveyor table 30 is thus fast.
- the conveyor table 30 made according to the teachings of the invention makes it possible to make up for the positioning errors of an upstream module and a downstream module without having to correct the position of either of these two modules. This is particularly useful when both upstream and downstream modules are too heavy to be able to be moved without the aid of a lifting instrument.
- the first and the second module, as well as the conveying table are fixed to the plant floor of the plant to ensure good accuracy of assembly of the conveying table and modules, relative to each other.
