Abstract

A method for sealing plies of thermoplastics, has only two steps, namely applying heat and pressure at the line of the seal and subsequently compressing or crushing of the seal line. The preferred apparatus comprises a pair of juxtaposed endless metal bands 3, 5 between which the plies are gripped. The bands pass between two heating blocks 9.1, 9.2; 10.1, 10.2 which are resiliently biassed into heat conducting contact with the band. A pair of nip rollers 7 are disposed downstream of the heating blocks and outwardly of the endless band and crush the plies to form the seal. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Heat sealing machine and method The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for sealing together plies of material such as thermoplastics, especially polythene, cellophanes and laminates such as paper and polyethylene.
Apparatus is know for sealing plies of polyethylene. It comprises a pair of heating blocks between which the plies are compressed and heated at the line of the seal to fuse the plies together thereat and a pair of cooling blocks between which the plies are received directly from the heating blocks to cool the fused material and thereby form the seal.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the cooling blocks are omitted and the plies, after leaving the heating blocks, are passed through a nip to compress or crush the plies at the line of the seal. The temperature of the material at the seal line must not be sufficient to leave the material in a tacky condition as the plies pass through the nip. Consequently, the material at the seal line is substantially below its melting temperature on exit from the nip.
Thus, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided apparatus for sealing plies of thermoplastics comprising at least one pair of heating blocks between which the plies are compressed and heated at the line of the seal and, separate from the heating blocks, nip means to compress or crush the plies at the line of the seal.
Thus, the embodiment entails only two steps, namely, applying heat and pressure at the seal line and then compressing or crushing of the seal line.
Thus, according to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of sealing plies of thermoplastics comprising the steps of applying heat and pressure at the line of the seal and subsequently compressing or crushing the plies of the line of the seal.
The heat and pressure step brings the material at the seal line to a plastic condition, and the subsequent compression thereof forms the seal. It has been found that by this means a very strong seal is formed.
A further advantage of the present invention is that it can also be used to seal cellophanes and laminates. Conventionally, these materials are heat sealed by radiated heat in order to avoid scorching of the material that might take place if a heating bar were impressed directly thereon.
However, since the present invention may employ a lower temperature than is conventionally used in sealing a material such as polyethylene, cellophanes and laminates may be sealed without danger of scorching.
In a preferred embodiment, two pairs of blocks are employed serially arranged as in a conventional machine used for sealing thermoplastics such as polyethylene, but in this instance, both pairs of blocks used are heating blocks. The blocks are arranged with a gap between the first pair of blocks and the second pair to permit a conventional gusseting attachment to be used. By this means, gusseted bags can be dealt with more efficaciously than would be the case with a single pair of blocks of the same total length. In such a machine, the material to be sealed is passed between the blocks of each pair of endless metal bands through which heat is conducted from the blocks to the material to be sealed. Such bands permit the temperature at the seal line to be closely controlled by adjustment of the temperature of the heating blocks.
It is also preferred to have total block length of some 21.6cm (82 inches). When using two pairs of blocks, the blocks of one pair need not be the same length as those of the other pair of blocks, for instance, the blocks of one pair could be some 10.16cm (4 inches) long and the blocks of the other pair some 11.43cm (4+ inches) long. A suitable separation between the two pairs of blocks is 2.54cm (1 inch).
It will be understood that the longer the block length, the greater is the dwell time of the material being sealed between the blocks for any given rate of feed of the material, and that the greater the dwell time, the less the block temperature needs to be. However, a compromise needs to be made between dwell time and temperature in order to avoid an unduly long dwell time, and the total block length given above has proved to be a practicable choice in this respect.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a diagrammatic front elevation of a sealing machine of the invention.
Referring to the drawing, the machine comprises a sheet material transport generally indicated at 1, and comprising two endless metal bands 3, 5 carried round respective pairs of pulley wheels 3-1, 3-2 and 5-1 and 5-2. The two endless bands are juxtaposed. At least one of the wheels of each pair is driven and on rotation drives the~band. The two bands are so arranged that the bottom run 3-3 of the top band 3 and the top run 5-3 of the lower band 5 are adjacent and form a nip, and the bands are driven to rotate in opposite senses, that is, the top one to rotate clockwise as viewed in the drawing and the bottom one to rotate counterclockwise as viewed in the drawing. An article to be sealed such as a bag is introduced into the nip at the right hand end thereof and is carried along in the nip until it exits at the opposite end of the nip.
In between the top and bottom run of each band, two serially arranged blocks are resiliently mounted to form two pairs of opposed blocks 9-1, 9-2 and 10-1, 10-2. Each block contains a heating element (not shown) and bears on the adjacent side of the respective endless band under resilient bias so that heat generated by the block is passed to the respective endless band and thus to the material being carried along in the nip. Because the bands conduct the heat to the material to be sealed, i.e. there is no radiation of heat, the temperature at the seal line of the material can be closely controlled by adjustment of the temperature of the heating blocks.
The rotation of the bands in any sealing operation is continuous and the dwell time of the material being sealed is determined by the speed of rotation and the overall length of the blocks, which in this instance is some 24.13cm (9- inches). However, the two pairs of blocks are separated by a distance of some 2.54cm (1 inch) and the total length of the blocks themselves is, therefore, some 21.6cm (86 inches); the first pair of blocks being some 10.16cm long and the second pair of blocks being some 11.43cm (4 inches) long.
Downstream of the exit end of the nip are located a pair of rollers 7, 7' forming a nip such as to cause compression of the material passed through the nip.
In use of the machine, the material, the plies of which are to be sealed, is passed into the transport 1 so that the bands lie on the line along which the seal is to be formed. The material thus positioned passes along the nip formed by the endless bands and is heated on that line to a plastic condition by the heat from the heating blocks while under pressure arising from the resilient bias of the heating blocks. When the material exits from the transport it passes directly to the compression rollers where the heated seal line is compressed and the seal formed. Since the compression rollers are not heated, they also act to cool the material passing through them.
If the material is one having gusset side folds, a pair of gusseting rollers may be mounted in the gap between the two pairs of heating blocks to make certain that the seal is formed in the part of the material lying between the gusset folds and especially in the transition from the four plies formed by the gusset folds to the two plies of the part of the material lying between the gusset folds.
The compression rollers may be adjusted in position to vary the clearance of the nip formed between them.
The word "Cellophane" is a registered Trade Mark.
