Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a method for manufacturing a bag, in particular for hygiene and/or food products, with channels comprising tapes enabling the closure of the bag.
  • EP1764067A1 there is a known method for manufacturing a bag for hygiene products, in which a continuous package material is supplied the in direction of the production line, and subsequently, the continuous package material is folded in such a manner that the package material takes on an M-shaped cross-section in a cross direction which extends perpendicular to said direction of the production line.
  • a continuous material in the shape of a string is supplied in said direction of the production line to each of the two ends of the folded continuous M-shaped package material, said material in the shape of a string being thermally incompatible with said package material.
  • a channel for the string-shaped material is formed by welding the continuous package material, therefore enclosing the string-shaped material inside the channel.
  • hot cutting of the package material in a cross direction which results in the formation of chambers forming bags, upon which the formed bags are moved away from the package material in the production line and said bags are supplied to a cut and join unit, where two string materials are cut and joined directly in the vicinity of the ends of the channels.
  • the first object of the invention is a method for manufacturing a bag with channels comprising tapes enabling the closure of the bag, in which a continuous package material comprising a central portion and side portions is supplied in the operating direction of the production line A, followed by preliminary formation of channels intended for the tape by:
  • the introduction of the tapes and their positioning in the channels are executed simultaneously.
  • Positioning of the tapes allows the correction of their path of guidance in order to fix them in positions ensuring free movement within the channels.
  • Simultaneous introduction and positioning of the tapes facilitates and expedites the process of manufacturing the bags.
  • simultaneous introduction and positioning of the tapes proceeds with a change in their guidance angles relative to the operating direction of the production line, preferably using devices with a guide slit, which also reduces the risk of wrinkling of the tapes after their introduction into the channels.
  • narrow strips are preferably used, which completely overlap the outer surfaces of the package material.
  • the strips are cut out of the side portions of the package material.
  • the openings in the package material are cut out in such a manner that their centres are apart from each other by a distance equal to the width or two times the width of the manufactured bag.
  • the cutting out of openings whose centres are apart from each other by a distance equal to the width of one bag results in the ends of the tapes enabling the closure of the bag, introduced into the channels, being free within the area of the formed openings, whose centres are placed on the side edges of the bag.
  • the ends of the tapes placed in the area of each of the openings are welded to each other and thus form a tape for closing the bag, which can be freely pulled inside the channels in both directions.
  • the forming and cutting off of individual bags from each other is performed in a single cycle (simultaneously), preferably with the use of a welding machine or a cutting-welding device.
  • cutting off of individual bags from each other is performed in the axis of symmetry of at least one opening cut out in the package material.
  • discontinuous welds are formed during final formation of the channels, which ensures smaller shrinkage of the package material on the weld and its more stable guidance.
  • wide welds are formed when cutting off the individual bags from each other by heating.
  • tapes for closing the bag are cut off from the side portions of the package material before preliminary formation of the channels of the bag, and they are guided simultaneously with the processed package material.
  • the cutting out of the tapes from the side portions of the package material before preliminary formation of the channels and the simultaneous guidance of the processed package material and the tapes ensure their uniform tension and enable avoiding their wrinkling and stretching.
  • a material suitable for recycling or composting or other bioprocessing is used as the package material and the tapes for closing the bag. Due to this, the resulting end product in the form of the bag with the tape for its closure can undergo recycling, composting or other bioprocessing.
  • At least one ribbon for suspending the bag is introduced between the channels or from at least one outer side of the channels, said ribbon being introduced in the operating direction of the production line A at the level of the channels and being offset relative to the tapes.
  • ventilation openings are formed and/or a perforation is formed in the package material.
  • the ventilation openings provide protection against disadvantageous impact on the surfaces of the bag caused by the pressure occurring when packing it with hygiene products.
  • the forming of the perforation is in turn meant to provide the possibility to open the bag by the final customer.
  • the second object of the invention is a method for manufacturing a bag with channels comprising tapes enabling the closure of the bag, in which a continuous package material comprising a central portion and side portions is supplied in the operating direction of the production line A, followed by placing the tapes enabling the closure of the bag next to the central portion of the package material, near the lateral portions, in the operating direction of the production line A. This is followed by the preliminary formation of channels intended for tapes enabling the closure of the bag by folding the lateral portions of the package material in such a manner that these tapes are placed in the spaces between the central portion and the lateral portions.
  • the package material is folded in the central portion along the fold line B extending in the operating direction of the production line A, in such a manner that the folded layers of the package material are arranged substantially parallel relative to each other, upon which openings are cut out in the package material next to the preliminarily formed channels above or below the tapes enabling the closure of the bag.
  • the tapes are positioned in the preliminarily formed channels next to the openings.
  • the final formation of the channels by welding the folded side portions of the package material to the central portion in the operating direction of the production line A near the free edges of the side portions, in such a manner that the tapes are freely positioned in the channels.
  • the individual bags are formed by welding the package material in a cross direction relative to the operating direction of the production line A and cutting off the individual bags from each other.
  • the package material is further folded in such a manner that, in a cross section relative to the operating direction of the production line A, the package material takes on a shape resembling the letter M, in which the central portion constitutes the inclined arms of the letter M connected in its lower vertex.
  • the openings in the package material are cut out in such a manner that their centres are apart from each other by a distance equal to the width or two times the width of the manufactured bag.
  • the cutting out of openings whose centres are apart from each other by a distance equal to the width of one bag results in the ends of the tapes enabling the closure of the bag, introduced into the channels, being free within the area of the formed openings, whose centres are placed on the side edges of the bag.
  • the ends of the tapes placed in the area of each of the openings are welded to each other and thus form a tape for closing the bag, which can be freely pulled inside the channels in both directions.
  • the forming and cutting off of individual bags from each other is performed in a single cycle (simultaneously), preferably with the use of a welding machine or a cutting-welding device.

  • the cutting out of the tapes from the side portions of the package material before preliminary formation of the channels and the simultaneous guidance of the processed package material and the tapes ensure their uniform tension and enable avoiding their wrinkles and stretching.
  • a material suitable for recycling or composting or other bioprocessing is used as the package material and the tapes for closing the bag. Due to this, the resulting end product in the form of the bag with the tape for its closure can undergo recycling, composting or other bioprocessing.

  • ventilation openings are formed and/or a perforation is formed in the package material.
  • the ventilation openings provide protection against disadvantageous impact on the surfaces of the bag caused by the pressure occurring when packing it with hygiene products.
  • the perforation is in turn meant to provide the possibility to open the bag by the end client.
  • the method according to the invention constitutes a simplification of the existing solutions, which results in providing lower than before consumption of components needed to produce the bag, in particular for hygiene products, since tapes enabling the closure of the bag originate from the same roll of material as said bag. This also results in, depending on the material used, said bag having the properties of full recycling and/or composting.
  • the method according to the invention also allows applying any imprint on the tapes for closing the bag.
  • the method according to the invention ensures expediting the process of manufacturing bags, in particular for hygiene products, compared to solutions known from prior art, since the present method omits actions related to proper preparation of an additional material for tapes, including its storage or supply.
  • the method for manufacturing the bag according to the invention enables the use of commercially available machines with no need to design and construct new ones, and the only requirement involves the assembly of several subsystems.
  • the method for introducing tapes used in the method according to the present invention can also be used to manufacture a bag with a handle, which causes such a bag to retain the properties of full recycling and/or composting depending on the material used for its production.

  • the cutting out 103 of the openings 7 whose centres are apart from each other by a distance equal to the width of one bag 12 results in the ends of the tapes 4 enabling the closure of the bag, introduced into the channels 5, being free within the area of the formed openings 7, whose centres are placed on the side edges of the bag 12.
  • the ends of the tapes 4 placed in the area of each of the openings are welded to each other and thus form a tape for closing the bag, which can be freely pulled inside the channels in both directions.
