Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing and / or filling of
- Packaging in particular cardboard composite packaging, in one
- Passing thorns of a cyclically rotating mandrel wheel are passed.
- Devices and methods for filling packaging with products, in particular in the form of food, and / or for processing the packaging or the filled packages to be filled are in different
- the filling of the packaging takes place with,
- the packaging preferably flowable, food and processing the packaging, for example, in a sterile or aseptic environment of a filling machine. Since the food should be durable for a long time after filling the packaging, a possible germ-free filling is desirable.
- the filling machines for example, sterilization rooms or aseptic chambers, in which the
- Sterilized packaging and then filled under sterile conditions as possible and sealed.
- packaging in particular those are used which are connected to a
- the packagings are, for example, cardboard composite packagings consisting of a laminate comprising a cardboard layer and outer, in particular thermoplastic,
- Plastic layers such as polyethylene (PE), are formed.
- the carton provides the packages with sufficient stability to easily package the packages made from the package and the product filled therein
- the plastic layers protect the carton from moisture and the food before taking unwanted substances from the packaging.
- the plastic layers protect the carton from moisture and the food before taking unwanted substances from the packaging.
- Layers such as an aluminum layer, may be provided to prevent diffusion of oxygen and other gases through the package.
- the packages can, preferably in the filling machine, from a
- Packing precursors are manufactured.
- packaging material blanks can be used as packaging precursors, which can be prefabricated as needed, for example by sealing longitudinal edges to form a
- Packaging blank Corresponding packaging blanks are typically mounted on mandrels of a so-called mandrel wheel, wherein a portion of the packaging blanks projecting from the mandrels is folded against the end face of the mandrel and sealed there to form a packaging bottom or packaging head. Alternatively, this can be used for the packaging precursors
- Packaging material can be unwound from a roll almost infinitely. In the case of a packaging blank, this is folded at bending lines to form a packaging casing and a packaging bottom first. By sealing overlapping portions of the packaging material, the packaging shell and the packaging bottom are closed. The head of the packaging initially remains open. If necessary, the packaging head can first be closed and the
- Packaging be filled by the, preferably pointing upwards, still open bottom. Whether the closed pack then for storage, for
- Transport and / or for sale is rotated or not, so where in the finished pack is up and down, then can basically stand by.
- the packages are introduced into a sterilization zone of the filling machine. This is usually done by the packages are successively transferred to the packaging receiving cell carrier a transport device.
- the transport device which is typically designed as a cell chain, then ensures that the packages are transported at a defined speed at a defined distance from each other through the sterilization zone of the filling machine.
- the packages are preheated as needed.
- the packages are blown in at least one processing station with hot sterile air. Subsequently, the inner surfaces of the
- Packaging in at least one processing station with a sterilizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, applied and thereby sterilized. Subsequently, in at least one processing station, a drying of the sterilized
- the sterilized packages are transferred to the filling and sealing zone and there preferably in at least one
- Processing station filled with a food The food is especially flowable. In a large number of cases, the
- the filled package is still closed in at least one processing station, whereby the package is formed as such.
- the sealed package is then transported via the transport device from the filling and sealing zone and then removed from the corresponding cells of the cell carrier of the transport device.
- the packages are transported by the conveyor in a straight line through the filling machine.
- Filling machines are also called cross-country skiers.
- the so-called rotary machines the packages describe a more or less arcuate movement, which may comprise one or more circular arc sections.
- the unilaterally open, transferred from the mandrel wheel to the cells of the transport device in the form of a cell chain packages are all moved in time with the clocked driven cells of the transport device through the aseptic chamber. It can be provided that in each case a certain processing of the packaging and / or filling takes place in one cycle. But it can also be provided that a certain processing, such as sterilizing, or the filling is divided into several cycles.
- the transport device for a Transporting the unilaterally open packages at a constant rate ensures then two or more processing stations for processing and / or two or more filling stations for filling must be provided one behind the other.
- two or more processing stations for processing and / or two or more filling stations for filling must be provided one behind the other.
- a packaging open on one side can also be partially filled with the product to be filled in one cycle in a first filling station so that it can also be partially filled in a further, subsequent filling station in a further cycle. Due to the double filling of the packaging, the desired filling quantity is achieved in two filling steps, which can reduce foaming and prevent overfoaming during filling.
- a local overheating is prevented as well as a
- the present invention has the object, the beginning
- This object is achieved according to claim 1 by a method for processing and / or filling of packages, in particular cardboard composite packages, in a processing machine and / or filling machine,
- Transfer station is handed over, - In which in at least one forming station in the transfer station transferred to the mandrel wheel packaging blanks cyclically on a mandrel of
- Transport device cyclically successively one-sided open packages are transferred from the mandrel wheel and
- Processing and / or at least one filling station to be supplied for filling Processing and / or at least one filling station to be supplied for filling.
- Transfer station provided on thorns Dornrads, as this is already known in principle.
- the mandrel wheel and thus the spines continue to rotate cyclically.
- the thorns passing through the transfer station are received in the transfer station
- Packaging blanks which are then transported with the appropriate thorns in at least one forming station.
- the bottom of the packaging blanks can be closed or a preparatory step for this, such as pre-folding and / or heating of the
- Packaging blanks are performed. However, not all of them
- Transfer station passing mandrels a blank packaging. After the acquisition of a certain number of packaging tubes in succession in the transfer station through the mandrels of the mandrel wheel no packaging blank are regularly passed to at least one further subsequent mandrel in the transfer station. It is thus always passed a predetermined number of packaging blanks sequentially to the mandrels, which then a likewise predetermined but if necessary other number of thorns
- Transfer station happens without these packaging blanks would take. All this also preferably takes place during a constant timing of the mandrel wheel.
- each package blank is the same time on the mandrel wheel and the same time in the at least one forming station.
- each package blank is the same time on the mandrel wheel and the same time in the at least one forming station.
- Forming station is therefore always the same time available, which is why it can be ensured that the packaging blanks are molded reliably. How much
- Packaging blanks are successively passed to the mandrel wheel and how many mandrels thereafter take no packaging blanks, plays no significant role. After passing the at least one forming station are in the
- Transfer station taken over packaging blanks in a transfer station to the transfer station successively passing cells of a transport device.
- the transfer station partly of thorns without
- the transferred to the cells, unilaterally open packaging are then fed in the cells of the transport device successively at least one processing station for processing and / or at least one filling station for filling.
- Empty cells, ie cells without unilaterally open packaging, are in the
- Packaging for processing and / or filling is provided and when not.
- the transferred to the cells unilaterally open packaging in the cells of the
- Transport device intermittently in at least one processing station for
- processing and / or filling leads, it may also be appropriate that the processing time and / or the filling time, in particular the duration of a stroke during processing and / or filling, in the at least one processing station and / or the at least one filling station is longer than the duration of one stroke of the mandrel wheel. Since not all mandrels pass on one-sided open packaging to a cell, gaps are created in the row of successive cells and packages. This gap also corresponds to a certain period of time, which is additionally available for the processing and / or filling of the remaining packaging. If there is a single packaging in the gap, the time of a stroke is ultimately available, if necessary, for processing and / or filling.
- the additional time available is correspondingly greater. Only when the respective additional time is exceeded, there is the danger without further measures that the following packaging or cells accumulate on the previous packaging or cells, thus resulting in an undesirable collision. It can therefore by targeted omission of the acquisition of certain
- Packaging blanks more time for processing in at least certain processing stations and / or more time for filling in at least certain filling stations are provided. For example, it can be used to fill larger ones Volume or more prone to foaming products may be useful to perform the filling slower and / or over a longer period
- Packaging to be able to close originally existing gap, it makes sense, if between two successive stations also a distance
- the distance is preferably provided in front of the station at which a longer cycle time is applied than at the previous station. Should the first station be slower than the timing of the mandrel wheel, the distance between this first processing station and the mandrel wheel may be provided. By the distance is achieved that the waiting because of the sections longer cycle time waiting packaging block no processing station and / or filling station. As a result of the spacing, the previous processing station and / or filling station is accessible to the subsequent group of packages, even if packages are still slowing down in the area of the gap
- Wait process step which may be a processing step and / or a filling step.
- the corresponding distance between the two stations at least substantially the distance between the last handed in the transfer station packaging a certain number of handed over to the cells packaging and the first handed over in the transfer station packaging a subsequent certain Number of packages transferred to the cells after passing the transfer device of a certain number of not provided with packaging blanks thorns of the mandrel corresponds.
- the length of the additional gap is calculated from the way of walking of the
- Transport means transported cells per stroke multiplied by the number of spikes which do not transfer packaging to a cell in the transfer station.
- the advantages according to the invention come into play, in particular, when the packaging blanks transferred to the mandrel wheel in the transfer station are folded in cycles in at least one forming station, heated, sealed and / or sealed on one mandrel of the mandrel wheel. Then it has no influence on these activities, in which sequence packaging blanks are taken over by the mandrel wheel and not taken over.
- Processing steps on the mandrel wheel can then always be carried out in an optimum manner, which simplifies, for example, the regulation but also ensures that the package blanks are reliably closed on one side.
- the method described is particularly suitable if the transferred to the cells, unilaterally open packaging in the cells of the transport device intermittently in at least one processing station for
- Heating, sterilizing, drying and / or closing are stopped. Namely, the heating, sterilizing, drying and / or closing of the packages must be carried out, if necessary, exactly in a predetermined manner and in exactly predetermined times in order to achieve good processing results and / or order
- At least one processing station and / or filling station can be selectively selected, for which the cycle time is varied, without necessarily influencing the cycle times of at least one other processing station and / or filling station.
- the duration of a clock at least substantially twice, three times, four times or five times the duration of the clock of the mandrel wheel exceeds.
- times enlargement can then be adapted to the number of thorns that take over in the takeover position no packaging blanks, depending on the number of packaging blanks that have been previously taken over by the thorns in the transfer station.
- the initial gap between certain packages to the transfer station in the further course can be closed again in each case in order not to unnecessarily reduce the throughput.
- the method described can also be carried out in terms of apparatus in a simple yet reliable manner when the packaging blanks are transferred to a mandrel wheel with four, five or six mandrels. Corresponding mandrel wheels have proven themselves and ensure a compact design of the system.
- the successive cells of the transport device are preferably transported at least in sections and / or temporarily by the transport device individually or at least in groups independently of other successive cells or at least groups of successive cells. This allows different cycle times for the groups of consecutive cells or at least groups of consecutive cells at the same time, since the cells are not kept at a fixed distance from each other. Thus, if necessary, it is also possible for individual successive cells or at least groups of consecutive cells to be accelerated or decelerated locally, independently of other cells, in order to obtain specific ones
- the individual cells can be transported very individually and, if necessary, independently of other cells.
- the cells follow as a result of
- the successive cell carriers are in turn, if necessary, unconnected to each other, if, for example, the movement profiles of the cell carriers at least
- the cell carriers should be independent of each other.
- a very precise and, if necessary, individual transport of the cells can be achieved, the successive cells and / or the successive cell carriers are at least partially transported by at least one linear drive and / or at least one belt drive of the transport device. This is especially true when the cells or the packages have to be decelerated and accelerated, be it for a clocked operation or for driving off certain speed profiles.
- the method has been described in particular for a processing line in which packages are transported in a row, although not necessarily in a straight line.
- the method is not limited to such applications. Rather, the method is also applicable to equipment, such as filling machines with multiple parallel processing lines. Then, preferably several parallel rows of packages are handled and transported in the manner described.
- each processing line has a separate mandrel wheel and / or separate processing stations and / or filling stations. Nonetheless, the mandrel wheels,
- Processing stations and / or filling stations are operated uniformly.

- FIG. 1 shows a filling machine 1 for processing and filling of packages 2 in the form of cardboard composite packaging, in particular with flowable foodstuffs comprising a forming device 3 for forming packages 2.
- the device 1 shown and so far preferred has a number of parallel processing lines, in particular four or six processing lines, of which in FIG. 1, however, only one processing line is shown.
- Processing line is a bundle 4 of packaging blanks 5 in the form of
- an application device for applying pouring elements not shown, to the packaging blanks 5 can be provided.
- the molding device 3 for molding the package 2 has a mandrel wheel 7, which in the illustrated preferred embodiment comprises six mandrels 8 and rotates cyclically, ie stepwise, counterclockwise.
- I In the first mandrel wheel position I is the associated mandrel in the transfer station 9 and it is a

- the transport of the packages 2 does not have to be rectilinear, but can also take place in at least one arc or even in a circle.
- the aseptic chamber 18 is supplied to sterile air via corresponding sterile air connections 21.
- the packages 2 are preheated successively in a first processing station 22 by a preheating device by blowing hot sterile air.
- the packaging 2 in another Processing station 23 by means of a sterilizing agent, preferably sterilized by means of hydrogen peroxide, whereupon the packages 2 dried by applying sterile air via a drying device in a third processing station 24 and after the transition from the sterilization zone 19 in the filling and sealing zone 20 in a filling position below a filling spout 25 are brought into a filling station 26.

- four packaging blanks 5 are always taken over in the transfer station 9 successively by the spikes 8 of the mandrel wheel 7, which continues to rotate cyclically in a constant cycle.
- a mandrel 8 of the mandrel wheel 7 passes through the transfer station 9, but without taking over a packaging blank 5.
- four unilaterally open packages 2 are sequentially transferred to cells 16 of the transport device 17 in the transfer station 15. Accordingly, if the mandrel 8 passes the transfer station 15 without packaging 2, no package 2 is transferred to a cell 16. In addition, however, no cell 16 is transported further into the aseptic chamber 18 with the transport device 17. This takes place only when the next package 2 is transferred to a cell 16 in the transfer station 15.
- a processing station 22,23,24,28 and / or filling station 26 interrupt the processing and / or filling, if there is no packaging 2 in the processing station 22,23,24,28 and / or the filling station 26.

- FIGS. 3A-C show a method sequence which, in principle, can be carried out with the filling machine 1 shown schematically in FIG. This Process flow can be used to lower throughput to stronger
- foaming may be prevented by slower filling or longer downtime between the end of filling and the re-acceleration of the package 2 for removal from the filling station 26. If a larger volume is to be filled, for example because larger packages 2 are transported to the filling station 26 after a changeover, this requires a longer filling time, in particular in the case of foaming products. Regardless of the above reason, the desired effect is achieved when the duration of the clock in the filling station 26 is prolonged.
- a gap 40 between the groups of three packages 2 and 16 cells 16 is formed, which corresponds to about two bars or the increments second bars. Characterized in that the clock before the filling station 16 is shorter, in particular equal to the timing of the mandrel wheel 7, and in the filling station 26 and then slower, a distance 41 is provided between the processing station 24 for drying the packages 2 and the filling station 26, at least about the gap 40 between the groups of packages 2 after the transfer to the
- Transport device 17 in the transfer station 15 corresponds.
- the packages 2 and cells 16 waiting in series in front of the filling station 26 are transported more slowly because of the slower filling stroke than the packages 2 of the next group of packages 2 are transported since the cycle times of these packages 2 are shorter.
- the initial gap 40 between the groups of packages 2 and the distance 41 between the processing station 24 immediately before the filling station 26 is now designed so that when the last package 2 of a group of packages 2 is filled or filled, the subsequent group of Packaging 2 to the
- the clocks following the filling in particular the clock of the processing station 28 for closing the package 2 to form a package, are also slowed down, as is the clock in the filling station 26, since this is permissible and the closing of the packages 2 is not impaired.
- the filling machine 1 can be operated as basically very flexible and suitably adapted to different requirement profiles. This is the case in particular when in the filling machine 1 between certain stations, ie at least one processing station
- a sufficient distance 41 is provided to, if necessary, a correspondingly large gap 40 between
