Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To separately package two kinds of articles to be packaged, at upper and lower parts of an intermediate seal of a packaging bag without mixing components of each article to be packaged. SOLUTION: When the packaging bag 21 supported by a pair of clampers in a bagging machine temporarily stops at a stop section (1) of 1, a cylindrical hopper 23 descending from an upper part is inserted into the packaging bag 21, and a first filling means 24 puts the article to be packaged 25 into the packaging bag 21. When the packaging bag 21 moves up to an intermediate section (1a), first seal bars 31, 32 heat and seal an intermediate portion of the packaging bag 21 to tightly seal the article to be packaged 25. When the packaging bag moves to a stop section (2) of 2, a cylindrical hopper 50 descends and a filling means 48 puts the article 25 to be packaged onto the intermediate seal 49, then second seal bars 55, 56 tightly seal an upper edge 60 of the packaging bag at a subsequent end section (2a).

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a continuous package in which a plurality of articles to be packaged are separated from each other by a partition and packaged in a tube film.

[0002]

As shown in FIG. 5, when a plurality of articles 3, 4 such as prepared foods are hermetically packaged in a tube film 1 with a partition wall 2 interposed therebetween, as shown in FIG. A mold-type filling and packaging machine is used. That is, an object to be packaged containing liquid or an object to be packaged 8 which is easy to spill is filled 7 at regular intervals into a film 6 which is formed into a tube by a vertical homer 5, and a pair of lower seal bars 9 The partition 2 is formed, and sealing and cutting are performed with the pair of upper seal bars 10 to form the package of FIG. However, in the case of this kind of packaging machine, for example, when the types of the plurality of articles to be packaged 3 and 4 are different, while falling in the homer 5, the broth and the like contained therein are mixed and adhere to the inner surface of the tube film 6. The disadvantage is that the two components mix in the bag.

[0003]

According to the present invention, in order to form a continuous package without mixing a plurality of components to be packaged, two components are combined into one.
A bag-filling and packaging machine for suspending a wrapper with a plurality of sets of clampers and intermittently transferring the wrapper one pitch at a time, wherein each of the 1 stop section and the 2 stop section in the wrapper transfer track is provided. A cylindrical hopper that is inserted downward into the wrapper while the wrapper is stopped, and a means for filling the packaged object via the hopper is installed,
An intermediate stop section between the one and two stop sections has a first seal bar for isolating and sealing the middle of the wrapper, and an end stop section behind the second stop section in the transfer direction of the wrapper. Is provided with a second seal bar for sealing the upper opening of the wrapper.

[0004] When a wrapper suspended on both sides of the rim by a pair of clampers stops at one stop section of the transfer track, a first tubular hopper descending from above is inserted into the wrapper, and the hopper is inserted into the hopper. And the first filling means fills the wrapper with the article to be packaged. Then, in the rear intermediate stop section, the first seal bar cross seals the intermediate part of the wrapper to isolate the object to be packaged, and then through the cylindrical hopper which is inserted downward into the wrapper in the second stop section. A second seal bar seals the bag mouth at the rear end stop section while filling the item to be packaged. Since the two types of articles to be packaged are separated and filled by the two cylindrical hoppers before and after, mixing of the two types of components in the wrapper can be prevented.

A cylindrical hopper to be inserted downward into the wrapper while the wrapper is stopped, and a means for filling the to-be-packaged object through the hopper is installed,
A first seal bar for isolating and sealing the middle of the wrapper is provided at an intermediate stop section between the one and two stop sections, and an end stop section at the rear of the second stop section toward the transfer direction of the wrapper. Is provided with a second seal bar for sealing the upper opening of the wrapper.

When a wrapper suspended on both sides of the rim by a pair of clampers stops at one stop section of the transfer track, a first tubular hopper descending from above is inserted into the wrapper, and the hopper is inserted into the hopper. And the first filling means fills the wrapper with the article to be packaged. Then, in the rear intermediate stop section, the first seal bar cross seals the intermediate part of the wrapper to isolate the object to be packaged, and then through the cylindrical hopper which is inserted downward into the wrapper in the second stop section. A second seal bar seals the bag mouth at the rear end stop section while filling the item to be packaged. Since the two types of articles to be packaged are separated and filled by the two cylindrical hoppers before and after, mixing of the two types of components in the wrapper can be prevented.
