  • a transverse sealing and separating unit for forming bags from the tube, and separating the bags from the tube comprising means for feeding a product to be packaged into the bags, and means for supplying inert gas to a supply lance disposed within the forming section of the forming means equipped.
  • tubular bag machines Such devices for packaging products, in particular food products, are known by the term "tubular bag machines".
  • a tubular bag machine the packaging of a product takes place in such a way that a flat, endless packaging film is formed into a tube, from which longitudinal and transverse welding a sequence of bags is formed, which initially still each have an access opening for the product. After feeding the product, this is also closed by welding and the now closed bag separated from the rest of the hose.
  • Tubular bag machines are known in a vertical design, in which in particular a free-flowing or liquid product is metered into the bag under the action of gravity, or as a horizontal arrangement, in which a generally dimensionally stable product by means of a feeder, such as a conveyor belt, horizontal in the open bag is inserted.
  • the product is usually supplied via a device which comprises a hopper and a forming tube adjoining it, around which the film is guided in a tubular manner during operation of the machine.
  • a device which comprises a hopper and a forming tube adjoining it, around which the film is guided in a tubular manner during operation of the machine.
  • the product is filled into the bag under the force of gravity through the forming tube.
  • the closure of the bag is carried out by a renewed Transverse welding and then the separation of the closed bag from the subsequent film.
  • Such devices are particularly suitable for packaging lumpy or powdery products, in particular food products, such as cereal or cereal products such as rice, cereals or snacks such as potato chips, peanuts, peanut flips, spice powder, sausages, fruits, vegetables, French fries, various meat products, Potatoes and others.
  • cereal or cereal products such as rice
  • cereals or snacks such as potato chips, peanuts, peanut flips, spice powder, sausages, fruits, vegetables, French fries, various meat products, Potatoes and others.
  • tubular bag machines of this type can also be used for packaging liquid products, in particular liquid foods.
  • a shaping device in the form of two forming shoulders arranged laterally on the right and left of the feeding device is used instead of the forming tube.
  • the feeding device comprises, for example, a conveyor belt, via which the products to be packaged are transported into the bags, wherein the forming shoulders also serve for the lateral guidance of the products.
  • Horizontal tubular bag machines are particularly suitable for packaging individually packaged foods such as meat products, sausages, cheese or baked goods.
  • the packaging of food under a protective gas atmosphere is a well-known method for increasing the shelf life or improving the quality of the packaged product.
  • a protective gas atmosphere modified atmosphere
  • shielding gases suppress the oxidative changes to foods and the activity of microorganisms.
  • quality improvements such as a specific, desired surface coloration or an improved moisture content of the product.
  • tubular bag packaging In order to be able to produce a modified atmosphere in tubular bag packaging, it is known to flood it with a protective gas before, during or after the product has been introduced into the bag, with the surrounding atmosphere still being expelled in the bag. In most usual today tubular bag machines this is done by means of a tubular feed lance, the is arranged within the molding device, for example within the forming tube of a vertical tubular bag machine.
  • Another consideration is the direction of filling the protective gas in smaller quantities, but as a cold gas or even in the liquefied state in the bag.
  • the gas heats up quickly and, at the volume increase associated with the heating, quickly forces the ambient atmosphere remaining in the bag out of the bag.
  • Such arrangements are for example from the EP 1 538 082 A1 or the DE 10 2010 027 465 A1 known.
  • these devices require means for cooling the protective gas or for providing liquefied inert gas, which are not available everywhere.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a tubular bag machine with inert gas, which is characterized by a simple structure and compared to devices of the prior art reduced inert gas consumption.

  • the feed lance on the outlet side preferably has no central outlet opening through which a substantial part of the gas could escape to the front, ie in the direction of the mouth.
  • the protective gas is thus introduced from the feed lance with a radial direction component directed toward the outside in essential parts to the bag.
  • the invention is based on the finding that the direction in conventional bagging machines from the feed lance, highly directed gas jet in the bag leads to the expression of turbulent flows that favor mixing of the protective gas with the oxygen-rich atmosphere present in the bag and beyond a suction of Ambient atmosphere from the environment of the bag cause.
