Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for filling bulk goods into open-top bags.
  • a device can be designed, for example, as a form-fill-seal system (FFS).
  • FFS form-fill-seal system
  • An FFS system produces the open bags intended for filling, for example from tubular film, directly on the machine.
  • prefabricated open bags it is also possible for prefabricated open bags to be fed to the device.
  • the device and the method are used in particular for filling bulk goods in which a certain proportion of air enters the open bag, which is at least partially diverted from the open bag again during or after the filling.
  • the DE 199 33 486 C2 discloses a device for filling and closing sacks that are open on one side and are preferably gusseted.
  • a filling station with a filling nozzle for filling the sacks and a vibrator acting on the bottom of the open sack are provided.
  • Various grippers are used to transport the empty open sacks, to hold the open sacks in the filling station and to transport the filled open sacks away.
  • a conveyor belt begins below the filling station to support and transport the filled open sacks.
  • the conveyor belt has a strand running around two deflection rollers and over two buckling rollers.
  • part of the conveyor belt can be lowered and raised again by pivoting a deflection roller.
  • a floor vibrator is attached in the pivotable or foldable part of the conveyor belt and directly below the filling station, which in the folded up position acts on the upper run of the conveyor belt and thus on a sack bottom standing on it.
  • an open bag is attached to the filler neck. The length of the open sack is such that the bottom end of the open sack would rest on the swiveled-up part of the conveyor belt.
  • the foldable part of the conveyor belt is pivoted downwards so that the bottom end of the open bag hangs freely at the bottom.
  • the part of the conveyor belt that has been folded down is swiveled upwards so that the upper run comes into contact with the bottom end of the open bag to be filled.
  • the vibrator attached directly under the upper run thus acts directly through the upper run on the bottom end of the open bag to be filled.
  • the DE 10 2008 020 253 A1 and DE 10 2008 020 254 A1 disclose packing systems for filling prefabricated open sacks with bulk goods, with a rotating and clocked packing machine being used for filling. Various stations are provided on the perimeter.
  • the U.S. 4,873,815 A also shows a device for filling and closing bags.
  • the conveyor belt does not begin below the filler neck, but is arranged downstream of the filler neck.
  • a floor vibrator is provided below the filler neck and can be raised and lowered as a whole. As a result, in this known device, the bottom vibrator can be lowered before filling begins. The bottom end of the open bag to be filled then also hangs freely above the bottom vibrator at the beginning of the filling.
  • the product pile that first enters the open bag opens the bottom end of the open bag completely and, as a rule, without creases.
  • the bottom vibrator can then be raised until the bottom vibrator supports the bottom end of the open bag to be filled and acts on it in a vibrating manner, so that effective compression can take place during a substantial part of the filling process.
  • the filled open bag is pulled onto the conveyor belt via push flaps. At the open top end of the open bag, grippers guide the open bag while moving on the conveyor belt. This prior art also works satisfactorily.
  • a method step e) the filler neck with the attached open bag is lowered onto a conveyor device.
  • the bottom end of the open bag is preferably supported from below, in particular by the conveying device, during at least a (considerable) part of the filling process.
  • the bottom end of the open sack is particularly supported while the product is still getting into the open sack.
  • the method according to the invention has many advantages.
  • a significant advantage of the method according to the invention is that the filler neck is first lowered so that an open bag is attached to the filler neck and that the filler neck with the attached open bag is then moved upwards so that the bottom end of the open bag hangs freely. This enables the filling process to be started and bulk material to be introduced into the open bag, while the bottom end of the open bag hangs freely and can thus unfold without creasing.
  • a separate drive for a height-adjustable floor vibrator is not required.
  • the filler neck dips into the open bag. It is also preferred that the filler neck then completely opens the open bag in method step b). Before or in method step a), it is preferred that the open sack is gripped at the head end of the open sack by a set of feed grippers and transported to the filler neck.
  • open bag is understood to mean a certain type of bag and not the state of the bag.
  • a (still open) open bag is regularly closed with a head seam after it has been filled.
  • a closed open bag is still an open bag in contrast to, for example, a valve bag, which has a Usually has a sewn or glued-in valve which automatically closes the valve sack after filling, so that there is a certain protection against leakage of material from the interior of the valve sack.
  • Open sacks are filled via the open top end. In this case, there is usually a large filling cross-section, which can optionally be limited by gussets and corner weldments provided therein.
  • the invention is intended in particular for use in the high and maximum performance range, with more than 1800 bags per hour and in particular more than 2400 bags per hour and particularly preferably more than 2500 or 2600 or 2700 bags or more per hour (produced and) being filled .
  • the filling of the bulk material takes only about 0.4 to about 0.8 seconds at such speeds, since the remaining cycle time is required for attaching the empty open bag and removing the filled open bag. With such fast cycle times, high acceleration forces have to be overcome when transporting the filled open sacks.
  • a driven conveying device underneath the filling nozzle, on which the filled open sack rests with its sack bottom, enables a considerably simpler acceleration than the use of thrust flaps which pull a filled open sack off a bottom vibrator.
  • a "sack” in the context of the present application is always understood to mean an "open sack".
  • a method step e) the filler neck with the attached open bag is lowered onto a conveying device, where the bottom end of the open bag is supported from below during at least part of the filling process.
  • the open bag is lowered during the filling process and while bulk goods are being filled into the open bag.
  • the lowering process is started before the flow of bulk material is started.
  • the bulk material reaches the bottom end of the open bag before the bottom end of the open bag is supported by the conveyor device. Whether first the filling process or first the lowering process started is a question of controlling and coordinating the process. What is important, however, is that the bottom end of the open bag can unfold freely through the bulk material bump. This is guaranteed if the bottom end hangs freely at the time of impact.
  • the bulk material in the open bag standing on the conveying device is preferably compressed, in particular at least from below, during the filling process.
  • at least one compression device can be integrated into the conveyor device or incorporated therein, which already has a vibrating effect on the standing surface of the conveyor device from below during the filling process in order to compress the bulk material in the open bag.
  • holding grippers grip the open bag in method step b).
  • the holding grippers are preferably raised together with the filler neck in method step c).
  • the holding grippers ensure, in particular, that the head end of the open bag and the area of the side folds retain their defined shape and that the filled open bag can then be passed on in a defined manner. This is important so that as little bag material as possible is required. The consumption of only 1% more sack material leads to considerable additional costs in a 24-hour operation per year. Defined handling of the open bags enables economical operation. It avoids unnecessary and undefined re-gripping, which would lead to a greater consumption of bag material.
  • the holding grippers hold the open bag when it is filled.
  • the holding grippers release the open sack after the end of filling and are moved upwards together with the filler neck while the open sack stands up on the conveying device.
  • discharge grippers grip the head end of the open bag before the holding grippers release the open bag in order to ensure defined conditions at all times.
  • the open bag is transported further by means of the conveyor device after the end of the filling process.
  • the drive for such a transport can be implemented easily.
  • the open bag is preferably guided by removal grippers at the head end during further transport.
  • the open bag is formed from a tubular film before it is attached. It is preferred here that the tubular film is unwound here from a film roll.
  • a bottom seam is preferably first introduced into the tubular film and the tubular film is then transported further by one cycle length and in particular one sack length. The tubular film is then preferably cut off at the head end in order to form an open bag. After the bottom seam has been produced, separate bottom seam cooling can be provided so that high speeds are possible.
  • the head end of the open bag is pre-opened or opened before it is attached to the filler neck and in particular before it is placed under the filler neck. This can be done, for example, using lateral suction devices that pre-open the open bag in a defined manner at the head end.
  • the open bag is preferably opened (pre-opened) in order to enable the filling nozzle to be more easily immersed.
  • open holders (with a profile preferably corresponding to the filler neck) keep the open bags open in a defined manner. If the open bag is only pre-opened, it is preferably completely opened at the filler neck or through the filler neck.
  • the filler neck is designed as a flap connector and in at least one pre-opened head end is immersed, and that the flap socket then folds open and the head end opens further.
  • the filler neck can also be designed as a fixed (or non-hinged filler neck) and z. B. be designed as a hexagonal socket.

  • the drive for the conveying device 7 does not have to be designed to be stronger, since a filled sack also had to be accelerated beforehand.
  • Granules are preferably filled as bulk goods. But it is also possible to fill cement or similar products with the device according to the invention.
  • Another advantage is that a separate drive for lifting and lowering a compression device is no longer necessary. It is not necessary to raise and lower the compactor for operation.
  • the compression device can be integrated into the conveyor device or into the bag discharge belt and can be positioned there directly under the upper run.
  • a significant advantage is that the conveyor overall is carried out statically and there is no foldable part.
