Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system (see e.g. US 2011/094616 A1 ) for producing packaging units from at least two packs filled with a level of liquid filling material according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for producing packaging units according to the preamble of claim 13.
  • packaging units takes place in such a way that several packs are put together to form a packaging group in which the packs are tightly connected to one another and that the respective pack is then wrapped or enclosed, preferably with a shrink film.
  • Known methods usually use a shrink film which, by applying heat in a shrink tunnel, reduces its dimensions in such a way that the film is placed under tension on the packaging of the respective packaging units and fixes them.
  • shrink tunnels for shrinking on shrink film With such shrink tunnels for shrinking on shrink film, a stream of hot air or hot gas is applied, for example, to the side of the respective packaging container already wrapped in the shrink film, in order to shrink the shrink film onto the packaging container. Furthermore, the shrink gas flow can also be directed to the underside of the packaging of the packaging unit wrapped with the shrink film in order to seal, i.e. to weld or glue, the overlapping ends of the shrink film there.
  • packaging units consisting of several individual packagings forming a packaging group, which are arranged on a common carrier and connected to the carrier to form a stable packaging unit by a shrunk-on shrink film blank.
  • the well-known ones Carriers used in packaging units are preferably made of cardboard or cardboard, while the shrink film blanks are formed from a plastic film designed as a shrink film.
  • the deformation or deformation of the PET bottle has the consequence that the closure is no longer located concentrically on the central vertical axis of the PET bottle with its center, but is inclined to the side, for example, at an angle.
  • deformations can also occur locally in the upper area of the packaging, which do not result in a change in the position of the closure, but which can be seen as a bulge or dent on the packaging.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved system for producing packaging units from at least two packs filled with a liquid product, which eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular in which there is no deformation or deformation of the packaging of the packaging unit in the shrink tunnel .
  • a system for producing packaging units from at least two packs filled with a liquid filling material is designed in accordance with claim 1.
  • a method for producing packaging units is the subject of patent claim 12.
  • the essential aspect of the system according to the invention for producing packaging units from at least two packs filled with a liquid filling material is to be seen in the fact that the system is in front of the in the transport direction second functional unit has at least one spray device and / or cooling device for applying a spray medium and / or cooling medium to the packaging at least in its upper region.
  • the packaging container with the spray mist applied to the packaging in the upper area by means of the spray device is particularly advantageously moved into the second functional unit, namely the shrink tunnel.
  • the packaging and / or the liquid filling material can be acted upon in the upper region by means of the cooling device, in particular locally cooled.
  • the water components of the spray mist of the spray device evaporate, which leads to a cooling of the water components of the spray mist itself and its surroundings.
  • This cooling is caused by the fact that the "evaporation or evaporation heat" required for evaporation is withdrawn from the water components of the spray mist and its surroundings, so it is therefore an adiabatic cooling.
  • the application of heat in the second functional unit due to the temperature difference that occurs leads to condensation, in particular moisture, on the inner and / or outer surface of the packaging, in particular in the upper area. During condensation, thermal energy is released from the condensate to the environment. This heat of condensation can have the same or approximately the same value as the heat of evaporation.
  • the area of the packaging that is not filled with liquid filling material can be exposed to the spray medium and / or cooling medium by means of the at least one spray device and / or cooling device.
