Description

Filling device and method for filling bulk goods

description

The present invention relates to a filling device for filling bulk goods into sacks and in particular for filling powdery or other pourable or scoopable or flowable products and in particular foodstuffs in big bags. The filling device comprises at least one filling nozzle, via which bulk material can be filled into bags to be filled. The

The present invention also relates to a method for filling bulk goods and in particular for filling powdery or other free-flowing or pourable foodstuffs in big bags with such a filling device.

A variety of systems for bulk material are known in the prior art. Systems have also become known with which bulk goods are filled into so-called big bags.

Big bags usually have several and especially four

Loops, by means of which a big bag can be attached to suspensions provided for it, so that, depending on the configuration, a hose-like filling section of the big bag can be attached to a filling nozzle.

During the filling process, the big bag z. B. be brought into contact with a vibrating plate in order to achieve a compression of the bulk material in the big bag while filling.

After filling, the bigbag must rest for a certain time so that the air still in the bulk material can escape. In addition, a vibrating plate, for example, can also be used here for optimum compression of the bulk material.

In known systems, however, the idle phase results in a relatively long dead time in which no new sack can be attached and filled. As a result, such systems often have an unsatisfactory or improvable performance.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a filling device which has a higher output or does not contaminate the bottom of the bag.

This object is achieved by a filling device with the features of claim 1 and by a method for filling bulk material with the features of claim 16. Preferred developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the present inventions emerge from the general description and the

Description of the embodiment.

The filling device according to the invention is particularly suitable for filling bulk goods into sacks and in particular for filling powdery or other pourable or free-flowing or flowable products and in particular foodstuffs in big bags. The filling device according to the invention comprises at least one filling nozzle, via which the bulk material is filled into the sacks. At least one frame device is provided to which at least one sack can be attached, the frame device being movable at least between at least one filling position in at least one filling station and at least one rest position of at least one rest station.

In particular if no separate attachment station is provided for attaching sacks, a sack can preferably be attached to the

Frame setup if this is in the

Filling position is present in the filling station. In the filling device according to the invention, the sacks to be filled are preferably attached to the frame device by hand by an operator or user. For this purpose, especially in the case of a big bag, the ones that are usually provided on the big bag are used

Loops on appropriate facilities or hooks on the

Frame device attached.

At least two frame devices are preferably provided, to each of which at least one sack can be attached, the frame devices being movable at least between at least one filling position in at least one filling station and at least one rest position of at least one rest station.

By providing at least two frame devices, it is particularly possible that in the filling station and the

Rest station at the same time a frame facility is present.

If only one frame device is provided, a sack can first be filled in the filling station while hanging and

then transferred to the rest position and from the

Frame device can be removed. The frame can then be returned to the filling station for the next big bag to be filled

be transported. The filled big bag is only put down in the rest position, so that the bottom of the bag is not soiled by product trickling out of the filler neck when it is set down.

The frame devices can be shifted between the at least two positions. This means in particular that the frame devices move from one position to the other

can be promoted and vice versa. These

preferably be lifted, for example, by a robot and transported to another position. The frame devices can, however, also be designed to be mobile.

The frame device is preferably essentially linear or in a line between the at least one filling position in at least one filling station and the at least one Rest position moved in at least one rest station. The frame device can then preferably be removed from this line and returned, or one can also be attached to the

Rest station subsequent non-linear continuation be provided to the frame device for a warehouse

Frame devices to be fed again to the filling station or to an attachment station optionally connected upstream of the filling station.

The filling device according to the invention offers many advantages. A considerable advantage is that the filling device has at least one filling station and at least one of the filling station

comprises separate resting station, wherein a frame device can be present in each of the two stations. This makes it possible to divide the filling process of the bags into different stations or positions, which, depending on the design, results in a considerable amount

Increase in performance can be achieved.

For example, a sack is attached and filled in the filling position. After filling, the filled sack, together with the frame device, can be moved to the resting position in the resting station

be spent. In this resting station, the bulk material filled into the sack can settle and the air that is still contained can escape. This rest phase in the filling process is important so that a sufficiently stable sack leaves the filling device. If the rest phase is dispensed with, there could possibly still be enough air in the sack or in the bulk material that it is not stable and therefore cannot be transported and stored in a stable manner.

While one filled sack remains in the rest position, the next frame device can already be brought into the filling position. A sack can then be attached parallel to the rest of the previous sack and, depending on the design, it can also be filled. This considerably improves the efficiency of the system, depending on the design. The frame devices are preferably at least between at least one attachment position in at least one

Attachment station, at least one filling position in at least one filling station and at least one rest position in at least one rest station. In such a configuration, the hanging of the sack and the filling of the sack are also decoupled from one another. In such a system, in which there is a

Attachment station, a filling station and a resting station, the efficiency of the system can be improved again depending on the design. As described above, a filled sack can remain in the rest position, while at the same time the next sack can already be filled and depending on

Embodiment also a third frame device in the

Attachment station are provided. Thus, while a sack remains in the rest position and a sack is filled in the filling position, a next sack can already be prepared and attached in the attachment position.

Preferably at least one of the frame devices is

designed to be movable. With such a configuration, the frame device can simply be moved or pushed into the next position together with the attached and / or filled sack. An essentially linear or rectilinear displaceability or a method along a line is particularly preferred. Returning the

Frame devices can preferably be provided, depending on the design, apart from the preferably linear arrangement of the stations provided, such as attachment station, filling station and rest station.

In expedient developments there is at least one

Rail device is provided on which at least one frame device can be moved. The

Frame device then preferably corresponding means such as rollers or the like, so that it can be easily moved on the rail device. Beneficial to of a rail device is, in particular, that a directed and predetermined movement of the frame device is ensured. In particular when moving the frame device with an attached filled sack or

Bigbag a particularly safe transport can be achieved. This is particularly useful with the not insignificant weight of a filled big bag. The respective intended stations of the filling device such. B. hanging station, filling station and resting station preferably linear or along a line

arranged. The return of the frame devices can preferably depending on the design away from the

Rail device be provided. Depending on the configuration, however, depending on the space available, a continuation of the rail device back to the attachment station or filling station can also be provided at the resting station, which is then not provided linearly.

At least one displacement device is preferably provided in order to move the frame device. Various configurations of a displacement device are conceivable, by means of which a suitable movement of the frame device can be achieved. For example, each individual frame can be designed to be motorized or mobile. Then, for example, rollers with an electric motor can be provided. A robot is preferably provided, which the

Frame facilities, for example, along a

Rail device moved. When a robot is used, a frame device can also be removed from the rest position in a particularly simple manner when the filled sack has been removed from the filling device. The then removed

The frame device can then be fed back to the attachment station or the filling station by means of the robot. Since the frame devices must have a stable design, especially when filling big bags, the frame device can be carried around like a dog within the filling device difficult. Thus the use of an automated

Displacement device such as a robot advantageous.

In other expedient configurations, for example, depending on the space available, a circumferential rail device or the like can also be provided, so that the frame device along the rail device from the rest position back into the

Attachment position and / or the filling position can be moved.

The frame devices particularly preferably each include the at least one filler neck. The sack to be filled or the big bag can then be connected to the filler neck on the frame device. In such a configuration, in particular a filling pipe or a filling channel in connection, for example, to a silo, can be brought into contact with the frame device or with the then free side of the filling nozzle. This is particularly possible in the filling station or in the filling position. In the filling station, parallel to the conveyance of bulk material through the filling nozzle, a parallel suction of air and / or dust can also take place. In particular if a separate attachment station is provided, the sack can be attached to the

Frame device are attached, in which case the filler neck can then be brought into contact, for example, with a blowing device, so that the sack that has already been attached but possibly still folded is inflated and preformed. This is how the filling process is optimally prepared.

At least one frame device preferably comprises at least one suspension device. Such a suspension device is particularly suitable for receiving the loops or a loop of a sack or big bag. They are there

Suspension devices are preferably designed like hooks and are preferably each equipped with at least one securing device so that the unintentional unhooking of the

suspended loops is avoided. Such

Safety device can, for example, by a pivot part, for. B. a rubber swivel or by extendable or otherwise retractable safety devices are provided.

At least one frame device preferably has a substantially V-shaped structure. Since the bags or big bags in the filling device according to the invention are hung by hand on the frame device, depending on the configuration, a user needs a certain amount of free space to also place the rear loops of a big bag in the rear suspension devices

To be able to attach frame equipment. Depending on the configuration, these rear suspension devices can also be provided pivotably so that they are pivoted forward for hanging a sack. If a pivotability of the

Hanging device is not desired, is the V-shaped

Closing station in particular comprise at least one welding station or be designed as a welding station. With a welding station of this type, for example, when filling a big bag, a provided inliner can be welded. However, depending on the design, a different layer of a sack or big bag can also be closed.

Preferably, the rest station is at least one

Allocated sack discharge device. Such a one

The bag discharge device can in particular comprise at least one conveyor belt. The conveyor belt can in particular be provided in a height-adjustable manner so that the conveyor belt under a

The method according to the invention is suitable for filling bulk goods into sacks and, in particular, for filling

powdery and / or other scarfable or pourable or flowable products and in particular food in big bags with a filling device, as described above. In doing so, the following steps will be appropriate

Sequence carried out. A sack is attached to a frame device in the attachment position or in the filling position. The frame device with the sack attached is in the

Filling position moved and / or the bag is filled in the filling position. The frame device is moved into the rest position with the filled sack. The frame device is transferred to the attachment position and / or the filling position after the sack or big bag has been set down and removed. Alternatively, a further frame device can also be transferred into the attachment position and / or into the filling position, the filled sack only after a predetermined resting phase from the frame device in the

Rest station is removed. The removed and filled sack is transported away.

The method according to the invention also offers the advantages as described above. In particular, an increase in the performance of the filling device is achieved through the possible parallel attachment, filling and / or allowing the sack to rest.

The method preferably comprises at a suitable point

Remove the free frame equipment from the resting station. In this case, a frame device that becomes free can be transferred directly back to the attachment position and / or the filling position. If all positions are occupied or if a direct reuse of the frame device is not planned, a removed one can be removed

Frame device can also be transferred to an intermediate position or to a storage position. The method particularly preferably comprises connecting the frame device to a blower device and / or a filling channel at a suitable point. This is particularly advantageous when the frame devices encompass the filler neck so that the sack is attached to the frame device and filled with bulk material via a filler neck provided on the frame device. Then, for example, in the filling position, the frame device or the filling nozzle is brought into contact with the free end of a filling channel which is preferably in contact with a silo. Likewise, the frame device or the free end of the filler neck in contact with a

Blowing device are brought, which inflates or preforms the already attached sack so that it can be optimally filled later.

In Figures 1 and 2, one embodiment is one

The filling device 1 according to the invention is shown purely schematically in a perspective view and a view from above.

It can be seen in the figures that an operator is standing on a platform 22 which is arranged in an elevated manner on a stand 23. The operator stands in front of a frame device 3 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, is located in the attachment position 4 of a attachment station 5. In this attachment station 5, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, a sack 200 or big bag 300 to be filled is attached to the

Frame device 3 attached.

The frame device 3 is also provided in an elevated position on the platform 22 so that a sack 200 to be filled or a big bag 300 to be filled has sufficient space at the bottom to hang, preferably completely freely, on the frame device 3. In the embodiment shown, the

After a sack 200 has been filled in the filling position 6 and has rested in the rest position 8, the sack 200 or the big bag 300 can be removed. Then the free

Frame device 3 can be removed from the rest position by means of the displacement device 11 or by means of the robot 24 and fed back to the attachment position 4 or the attachment station 5 and / or an intermediate storage facility.

This displacement of the frame device 3 takes place here away from the rail device 10 by means of the robot 24. However, depending on the configuration, the frame devices 3 can also be removed and returned like a dog or in another way. Depending on the space available, the rail device 10 can also be continued and then, depending on the configuration, return non-linearly to the first station.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the attachment position is preceded by a bag feeder 15 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, comprises a drawer 25. Over a

Such a drawer, which is then preferably designed as a sluice or is arranged in a sluice, can be used in particular in the case of filling devices 1 provided in an encapsulated manner a particularly hygienic supply of sacks 200 or big bags 300 can be achieved.

In addition, a sack removal device 19, not shown in detail, is connected downstream of the resting station 9, which comprises, for example, a conveyor belt for removing the filled sack 200 or big bags 300.

to subdivide decoupled partial steps so that certain processes can be carried out in parallel. In the embodiment shown here, while a sack 200 or big bag 300 is resting on a frame device 3 in the rest position and / or filled in the filling position 6, a new sack 200 is already attached to another frame device 3 and filled depending on the configuration. In this way, the filling position is not blocked for a certain time by a stationary sack, which means an undesirable dead time in the filling process.

As a result, the parallel resting and filling or hanging up of a sack is possible in that several frame devices 3

are provided which can be moved between different
