Description

【技術分野】
【0001】
本発明は、(好ましくは液体食品内容物用の)包装容器のための、構造用基層及び内層を含む包装用積層品に関する。本発明はまた、前記包装用積層品から包装容器を造る方法、及び該包装用積層品から造られる該包装容器にも関する。
【背景技術】
【0002】
(従来技術と課題)
今日の食品の包装加工[用語「食品(food)」は、あらゆる種類の、固体及び液体の食品(例えば、ペースト、スープ、ゼリー及びチーズの他、ジュース、ミルク及び他の飲み物)を意味する]はしばしば、「製袋充填(form-fill-seal)」タイプのものであり、また、連続的に移動するウェブ形状包装用積層品であって可とう性積層品で造られた該包装用積層品を成形して連続的に進むチューブにし;包装すべき所望の食品製品を該チューブに連続的に充填し;及び、シーリング(sealing)を行い、最終的に該チューブからシーリング済み包装を切り離す;ことによって実施されることがある。
それら包装加工はしばしば、高速の連続プロセスであり、該プロセスにおいて、ウェブ形状の包装用積層品は、機械によって連続的に送られ;例えば、液相又は気相の速効性殺菌用媒体を通過させることによって殺菌され;包装すべき食品を充填するのに必要なチューブ形状に形成されシーリングされ;次いで、最終的に横方向にシーリングされる。
【0003】
連続的なウェブ形状包装用積層品は、包装用積層品製造機械で製造され;次いで、リール(reel; 巻き枠)に置かれる。該包装用積層品はしばしば、紙又は厚紙で造られた基層;そのコア(core)層の各々の側面に熱可塑性ポリマー(例えば、ポリエチレン)で造られたヒートシーリング外層;及び、必要に応じて、前記紙コア層と前記フィルムの間に挟まれたアルミニウム箔製ガスバリヤー層;を包含する積層構造を有する。もう1つの方法として、アルミニウム箔の代わりに、プラスチック又は無機材料(例えば、ポリアミド、ポリエチレンビニルアルコール(EVOH)又は酸化ケイ素)で造られたガスバリヤー層を使用することができる。
【0004】
包装用積層品を備えたリールは、包装用機械に取り付ける。包装用機械において、該包装用機械の幾つかの位置に配置されている駆動機構を使用しながら、該リールは、該包装用機械内で巻き取って一定経路で送る。包装用積層品のウェブは包装用機械内で、チューブに形成し、及び、縦方向にシールする。包装用機械内で、チューブを下流方向に移動させている間、液体又は流動性の食品製品を上部から供給して、チューブ状の包装用積層品の内部に充填する。次いで、包装用積層品のチューブは、両側面から横方向に圧縮して、特定の間隔で横方向にシーリングを行って、相互に接続され、充填され、シーリングされた包装容器を形成する。次いで、シーリング済み包装容器は、横方向に伸びるシーリング済み部分の間で切断することによって、チューブから切り離し、そして、このようにして切り離した包装容器は、例えば、包装用積層品内の、前もって形成した折り目線(crease lines)に沿って折り目を付けて曲げることによって、特定の所望の形状にし;そして、所望により、その形状を保つために、最終的にシールする。
【0005】
チューブ状包装用積層品を縦方向又は横方向にシールすることは、ヒートシール性熱可塑性物質で造られている該包装用積層品の外面を互いにヒートシーリングすることにより行う。これは、既知のヒートシーリング技術(例えば、誘導ヒートシーリング、高周波(RF)又はマイクロ波によるヒートシーリング、熱対流シーリング、又は超音波振動ヒートシーリング)により行うことができる。
このように、従来の包装用機械は、包装用積層品をシールするためのヒートシーリング装置を採用している。該ヒートシーリング装置には通常、互いに向かい合った関係に配置されて作動する、いわゆるカウンター・ジョー(counter jaws; 対向あご)とヒートシール・ジョー(heat seal jaws; 熱密封あご)とが備えられている。
【発明の開示】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
【0006】
横方向シールを実現する1つの好ましい方法は、該積層品内に金属層が全く存在しない場合、該積層品の2つのエッジ(edges; 縁)の一部を重ね合わせて一緒にシールへ圧縮しながらシーリング層を溶融するために、超音波エネルギーを使用し、同時に圧力を加えることである。そのような超音波振動ヒートシーリングを行う間、熱に変換される超音波エネルギーの量は、該積層品の該シール領域に加える圧力に比例する。しかし、従来の包装用積層品から造られる容器のシールが真に強固で液体不浸透性になるためには、シール機のセッティング(settings)は、非常に厳しい許容範囲で行うことが必須条件である。この許容範囲はまた、該シール機を連続的に作動する間、著しく安定していなくてはならない。これらのセッティングは、例えば、チューブ・ガイディング;シールに圧力を与えるアンビル・ジョー(anvil jaw)の動作;及び、超音波ホーンと、諸横方向シールの間のチューブを切断するための切削レールとの間の平行関係;のような諸セッティングである。これらメカニカル・セッティングの許容範囲が小さいと、加えられる圧力は、幾つかの位置で小さくなり、従って、熱に変換されるエネルギーが低くなり、生じるシールは弱くなり、液体不浸透性にはならない。また、該シーリング層に可塑性塊(plastic lump)が形成されるという問題があることがある。更に、超音波振動によるヒートシールプロセスは、従来の包装用積層品に使用する場合、それらシール領域に異物が存在するといった他の点でもあまり許容性がないことがある。もう1つの考慮すべき非常に重要な点は、包装が液体食品(例えば、ミルク、ジュース、水等)で充填されるときの積層品材料に関する必要条件である。
【0007】
横方向シールの場合、メカニカル・セッティングの許容範囲が小さいためにシールが弱くなるという問題は、縦方向シールのオーバーラップのために、とりわけ顕著になるであろう。横方向シールと縦方向シールの間のオーバーラップにおける過剰厚さを補償するために、それらアンビル・ジョーの一方に、補償プロフィル(compensation profile)を与える。しかし、このことは、小さい許容範囲を有することがなお更に重要であることを意味する。もし、例えば、該チューブのねじれ等の、連続的なチューブ・ガイディングの問題に起因して、横方向シールと縦方向シールの間の過剰に厚いオーバーラップは、該補償プロフィルに関連してその位置がずれるならば、その圧力は、該シールのある領域において低下し、それ故に、シールの強度は悪影響を受けるであろう。シールが弱いことによって、溝(channels)が形成され、このようにして包装の漏洩が引き起こされることがある。
超音波による横方向シーリングプロセスを使用することに関連するこれらの欠点があるにもかかわらず、それは迅速なプロセスであるので、超音波による横方向シーリングプロセスを使用することは、しばしば最も望ましい。
【課題を解決するための手段】
【0008】
(発明の簡単な説明)
本発明の目的は、超音波エネルギーによってシーリングを行う間、一般的状況に対して一層許容性のある(forgiving)包装用積層品であって、好ましくは改善された機械特性をも示す該積層品を提供することである。本目的はとりわけ、シール機のメカニカル・セッティング(mechanical settings; 機械設定)の許容範囲が小さいこと;チューブ・ガイディング(tube guiding)が悪いこと;アンビル・ジョーの動作が不安定であること;超音波ホーンと切削レール(cutting rails)の間の平行関係が悪いこと;シール領域に異物が存在すること;等の一般的状況に対して一層許容性のある包装用積層品を提供することである。
本発明の主要目的はもちろん、本発明による包装用積層品から造った包装容器に;また、該包装容器の諸横方向シールと縦方向シールの間のオーバーラップにおいても;強固で液体不浸透性の横方向シールを与えることである。
【0009】
更に、本発明による包装用積層品は、食品用包装容器で使用するのに十分適合させることが望ましい。
これらの目的及び他の目的は、請求項1に規定する本発明の包装用積層品と、請求項11に規定する本発明の方法と、請求項16に規定する、包装用積層品から造られている包装容器とによって達成される。
【0010】
本発明の一般的概念は、シーリング状況に対して非常に許容性のある包装用積層品を提供することである。このことは、ヒートシール性熱可塑性材料(ポリオレフィン)で造ったシーリング層であって前記積層品の一方の側面の最外層になるように配列されており、該容器の内側に配置されるように意図されている該シーリング層を含む内層を、包装用積層品が有しているという事実に起因している。本発明によると、このシーリング層は、ヒートシール性熱可塑性材料であって、115J/g未満、好ましくは105J/g未満、一層好ましくは95J/g未満てはあるが、通常少なくとも40J/g、好ましくは少なくとも50J/gの溶融エンタルピー(melt enthalpy)を示す該材料である。そのような材料の諸例は、メタロセンポリエチレン材料、好ましくはメタロセン低密度ポリエチレン材料、更に好ましくはメタロセン直鎖低密度ポリエチレン材料である。そのような材料の1つの好ましい例は、ダウ(Dow)による「Affinity PL1880」である。同一グループにおける他の考えられる諸材料は、ダウによる他のAffinity等級のものの他に;エクソン・モービル(ExxonMobil)による「Exceed ML1023」;エクソン・モービルによるExact;ダウによるElite;JPOによるUmerit;及びJPCによるKernel;である。
【0011】
本発明の1つの面によると、小さい溶融エンタルピーを示すヒートシール性熱可塑性シーリング層は、内層中の隣接する熱可塑性層の溶融エンタルピーよりも一層小さい(好ましくは、内層中のあらゆる層の溶融エンタルピーよりも一層小さい)溶融エンタルピーを示す。この文脈において、「一層小さい(lower)」は、好ましくは少なくとも10J/gだけ一層小さい、一層好ましくは少なくとも15J/gだけ一層小さい、最も好ましくは少なくとも20J/gだけ一層小さい、を意味する。基層から最外層に至る方向で異なる層を細かく調べたとき、溶融エンタルピーが各々の段階で減少するのが最も好ましい。とは言っても、幾つかの隣接する層は同一の溶融エンタルピーを有することがある。
【0012】
ヒートシール性熱可塑性物質の性質のお陰で、包装用積層品は、従来の包装用積層品の対応する限界よりも低い最低限界(lowermost limit)を有するシーリング窓(sealing window)を示すようになっている。更に、ヒートシール性熱可塑性シーリング層を含む本発明による積層品は、広いシーリング窓、好ましくは従来の包装材料より一層広いシーリング窓を示すのが好ましい。
【0013】
シーリング窓の概念は、当業者には周知であり、シーリングが可能であるエネルギー範囲として定義される。「低い最低限界」は、許容可能なシールが低いエネルギーレベルで生じ、それによって、今度は、超音波振動によるヒートシール装置の感度がメカニカル・セッティング及び他の一般的状況(prevailing circumstances)まで減少することを意味する。シーリング領域に沿った幾つかの地点に低圧が加えられても、熱に変換されるエネルギーは、低溶融エントロピーを有するヒートシール性熱可塑性シーリング層を溶融するには十分であり、従って、強固で液体不浸透性のシールを形成するのが可能となる。シーリング窓の最高限界が高いことは、相当なエネルギーが供給し得ることを意味する。
【0014】
更に、内層もまた、いわゆるC4、C6又はC8の直鎖低密度ポリエチレン(C4LLDPE、C6LLDPE、C8LLDPE)から成る層を含むのが好ましい。C4、C6及びC8のLLDPEは、エチレン重合の間、コモノマーとして使用されている、少量のC4、C6又はC8のαオレフィンによって得られるポリエチレンである。好ましくはこのC4、C6又はC8のLLDPE層、更に好ましくはC6又はC8のLLDPE層は、積層品の外側から数えて第2番目の層(即ち、低溶融エンタルピーを有するヒートシール性熱可塑性材料の層と直接接触している層)である。これら2つの層を組合せれば、有利なことには意外にも、シール機のメカニカル・セッティングが偏っているにもかかわらず、著しく強固で液体不浸透性の横方向シールが生じる結果となる。
【0015】
更に意外なことであるが、横方向シールは非常に強固であるという事実にもかかわらず、横方向シールを部分的に通過する穿孔から成る、開封装置の開封性(openability)は非常に良好であることが分かった。
【0016】
本発明による積層品はとりわけ、超音波振動によるヒートシーリングと共に使用するのにうまく適合している。超音波振動シーリング技術の特徴は、超音波ホーンとアンビル・ジョーの間で圧力をかけられている全ての材料は、振動によって同時に加熱されることである。強固なシールが生じるためには、最外層(即ち、容器の内側に向かっている、該積層品の側にある最外層)が融点に到達すれば十分である。結果として、超音波振動によるヒートシーリングプロセスの感度を低下させて、強固で液体不浸透性の横方向シールを達成するためには、低溶融エンタルピーを有するヒートシール性熱可塑性材料で造った薄いシーリング層のみを内層に与えれば十分である。換言すれば、本発明によるヒートシール性熱可塑性物質の薄層でさえ、シーリング窓の最低限界を有効に低下させるのに十分である。
【0017】
下記において、本発明は図面に関連して一層詳しく説明する。
【0018】
図1は、本発明による包装用積層品10の好ましい具体例を示している。該積層品の構造用基層は紙層又は厚紙層4から成る。しかし、構造用基層は、鉱物充填済みポリオレフィン(例えば、鉱物充填済みポリプロピレン)から成ることも考えられる。該構造用基層は、積層品10の体積及び厚さに最も大きく寄与する層である。該包装用積層品から造られる包装容器の内側に向くように意図されている、該積層品の側面には、内層6が与えられる。内層6は、少なくとも1枚の層、好ましくは少なくとも2枚の層であって6枚までの層で造られており、図1では、4枚の層で造られている。構造用基層4は通常、前記内層6の少なくとも6倍、好ましくは少なくとも8倍、更に好ましくは少なくとも10倍も厚い厚さを示す。換言すれば、該構造用基層は、少なくとも200μm、好ましくは少なくとも250μm、更に好ましくは少なくとも300μmの厚さを有する。
【0019】
内層6の第1の層1は、第1の熱可塑性材料(ポリオレフィン)から成る。前記第1の層は、ポリエチレン(PE)層、好ましくは低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)層、更に好ましくは直鎖低密度ポリエチレン(LLDPE)層であって、3〜30g/m、好ましくは4〜10g/m、更に好ましくは5〜8g/mの坪量(grammage)を示すものが適している。本発明によると、前記第1の層は、いわゆるC4、C6又はC8LLDPE層であるのがとりわけ好ましく、最も好ましいのはC6又はC8LLDPE層である。
【0020】
本発明によると、前記内層6はまた、第2の層2をも有している。第2の層2は、シーリング層(sealing ply)2のことでもあり、ヒートシール性の第2の熱可塑性材料(ポリオレフィン)で造られている。この第2の層は、包装容器の内側に向くように意図されている該積層品の側面の最外層となるように配置されている。第2の層2の第2の熱可塑性材料は、第1の熱可塑性材料と異なっており、上記に従って小さい溶融エンタルピーを示す。強固なシールを生じさせるためには、最外層2がその融点に到達すれば十分であるという事実により、第2の層2は、10g/mより大きな坪量を示す必要はない。第2の層2は、好ましくは2〜10g/m、更に好ましくは3〜8g/mの坪量を有する。5g/m未満程の薄い層でさえも考えることができるかも知れない。
【0021】
本発明の1つの面によると、内層6は、熱可塑性材料(ポリオレフィン)で造られた第3の層3をも有する。第3の層もまた、ポリエチレン(PE)層、好ましくは低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)層であり;しかも、10〜30g/m、好ましくは15〜25g/mの坪量を示す;のが適切である。第3の層3は、包装用積層品10の中の第1の層1と構造用基層4のの中間に配列されている。
更に、内層(6)は、熱可塑性材料で造られた第4の層(7)をも有することがある。第4の層は、低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)層であるのが好ましい。しかし、第4の層は、直鎖の低密度ポリエチレン(LLDPE)層であることも考えられる。描かれていないが、第4の層7はそれ自体、同一材料で造られた1〜5枚の副層から成る場合がある。第4の層7は、5〜30g/m、好ましくは8〜20g/m、更に好ましくは10〜15g/mの全坪量を示す。第4の層7は、該積層品10の中の第2の層2の反対側で(即ち、第1の層1と第3の層3の中間で)第1の層1と直接接触した状態で配列されている。
【0022】
第2の層2の有益な特性のために、第1の層1、第3の層3及び第4の層7の坪量は減少させることができ、従って、第2の層2の材料が比較的高価であるために増大するコストが低減されることは、本発明の1つの利点である。
包装容器の外側を形成するように意図されている、積層品10の側面には、装飾層5を配列する。装飾層5はポリエチレン(PE)層、好ましくは低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)層から成るのが好ましく、また、装飾層5は5〜25g/m、好ましくは8〜20g/mの坪量を示す。
【0023】
本発明による包装用積層品10を製造する場合、装飾層5を包含する基層4は、1つのリール(reel; 巻き枠)の上にウェブとして与える。熱可塑性材料で造られた第2の層2及び第4の層7と一緒に、熱可塑性材料で造られた第1の層1を包含するフィルムを、もう1つのリールの上に与える。2つのリール上の諸材料の間の積層は、従来のラミネート加工機によって、ウェブとフィルムの中間に押し出される、熱可塑性材料で造られた第3の層3によって行うのが好ましい。熱可塑性材料で造られた、第1の層1、第2の層2及び第4の層7を包含する三枚重ねフィルムは、例えば、押出しブロンフィルム(extrusion blown film)又は押出しキャストフィルム(extrusion cast film)の形態で製造してもよい。本発明による包装用積層品を製造するもう1つの技術は、好ましくは同時押出し(coextrusion)技術によって、基層に、別個の複数の層の内層6で押出しコーティングを行うことである。
【0024】
内層の中の別個の諸層及び前記積層品は、直接的又は間接的に、互いに向かい合うそれら表面の本質的に全体に渡って、互いに接合するのが適している。しかし、第2の熱可塑性材料で造られた2番目の層であって、横方向シール(transversal seal)が形成される予定の積層品の領域にのみ配置される2番目の層、即ち、ストリップ(strip; 細片)又は部分的層(partial ply)の形態の2番目の層を使用することも可能であるかも知れない。
本発明による包装用積層品はとりわけ、上述の諸層は別として、如何なる追加の層をも含有しないように開発されているものの、好ましくはないが、他のタイプの層(例えば、障壁層)も存在することはもちろんあり得る。
【0025】
図2に関し、ウェブ形状可とう性の包装用積層品10は、リール21として包装用機械に取り付ける。該包装用機械において、該包装用機械の幾つかの位置に配置されている(特に描かれてはいない)駆動機構を使用しながら、積層品10は該包装用機械内でリールから繰り出して送られる。包装用積層品10は、ガイド22によって誘導され、(特に描かれてはいない)シーリング装置によって縦方向にシールされ、そして、チューブ23に形成される。チューブ23が包装用機械内の下流方向に移される間、液体製品又は流動性製品が、該チューブの内部を充填するための充填パイプ(filler pipe)24を通って、上部から供給される。次いで、該チューブの包装用積層品は、(特に描かれてはいない)カウンタージョー(counter jaw)及びヒートシーリングジョー(heat sealing jaw)を用いて両側面から横方向に圧縮されて、筒状の包装用積層品は特定の間隔で横方向にシーリングされ、その結果、相互連結され充填されシーリングされた、枕形状(pillow-shaped)包装容器が形成されることとなる。次いで、シーリング済み包装容器は、横方向に伸びたシーリング済み部分の間を切断することによって、別個の枕形状の一次容器(primary containers)25として、該チューブから分離される。
【0026】
図3には、図の平面から伸びる縦方向シール(longitudinal seal)31と、図の平面内で伸びている横方向シール32との間にあるオーバーラップ(overlap; 一部重なり合い部分)が、断面図で示されている。ここに、縦方向シール31によって形成されるチューブ(tube; 管)は一緒に圧縮されて、現在、チューブの内側に配列されている2つの第2の最外層2が互いに向かい合うようになる。シーリングストリップ(sealing strip)34は、縦方向シールの内部継目33の全面に渡って配列されている。このシーリングストリップは、ポリプロピレン製ストリップによって構成されるのが好ましい。標準的な横方向シールのための最も重要な領域は、区画1(z1)及び区画2(z2)と呼ぶ。これらの領域で超音波振動によるヒートシーリングプロセスに関連して加えられる圧力が重要である。なぜなら、縦方向シール31のオーバーラップの領域において積層品の2枚の層と3枚の層の間に厚さのステップ(steps; 段差)が存在するためである。これらのステップを補償するために、アンビル・ジョー40には、従来において、及び本発明に関連しても好ましく、図4に示すような補償プロフィル(compensation profile)41が与えられる。補償プロフィルは基本的にリセス(recess; 凹部)から成る。リセスは、図3に示すように、オーバーラップの幅(w)に対応するように改造されたエッジ(edges; 縁)を有する。アンビル・ジョーに対する、チューブの位置(又は回転)は、図3のdの値によって規定される。dは、補償プロフィル41の中央における、アンビル・ジョー40上の合いマーク設定Xと、区画1の厚さのステップとの間の距離である。dで判断される、チューブの位置(従って、オーバーラップの位置)が、補償プロフィル41に対して不十分に合わされていると、結果として得られる圧力は、z1及び(又は)z2の領域において低くなるであろう。しかし、本発明に関連して、本発明による許容性のある包装用積層品10の組成のお陰で、とにかく強固で液体不浸透性のシール32が、非常に有利に造られる。
【0027】
横方向シーリングプロセスは、2つのアンビル・ジョーの間で、チューブを一緒に機械的に圧縮するのと同時に、エネルギー、好ましくは超音波エネルギーを供給することによって行う。それらアンビル・ジョーの一方には、超音波ホーン(ultrasonic horns)を与えるのが適切である。これら超音波ホーンは、超音波エネルギーを供給するために、当て盤(holder-on)としての他方のアンビル・ジョーと共にチューブを圧縮するように配置されている。圧縮及びエネルギーの供給は通常、100〜250ミリ秒、好ましくは140〜220ミリ秒の時間間隔の間、1〜10MPaの圧力で行う。
【0028】
(例)

The present invention relates to a packaging laminate for a packaging container (preferably for liquid food contents) comprising a structural base layer and an inner layer. The present invention also relates to a method of making a packaging container from the packaging laminate, and to the packaging container made from the packaging laminate.
[Background Art]
[0002]
(Prior art and issues)
Today's food packaging (the term "food" means any kind of solid and liquid food (eg, pastes, soups, jellies and cheeses, as well as juices, milk and other drinks)] Is often of the "form-fill-seal" type, and is a continuously moving web-shaped packaging laminate made of a flexible laminate. Molding the article into a continuously advancing tube; continuously filling the tube with the desired food product to be packaged; and performing sealing, and finally separating the sealed package from the tube; May be implemented by
These packaging processes are often high-speed continuous processes in which the web-shaped packaging laminate is continuously fed by a machine; for example, through a liquid or gas phase fast-acting sterilizing medium. By sterilization; in the form of a tube necessary to fill the foodstuff to be packaged and sealed; and finally in the transverse direction.
[0003]
The continuous web-shaped packaging laminate is manufactured on a packaging laminate manufacturing machine; it is then placed on reels. The packaging laminate is often a base layer made of paper or cardboard; a heat sealing outer layer made of a thermoplastic polymer (eg, polyethylene) on each side of its core layer; and, optionally, , An aluminum foil gas barrier layer sandwiched between the paper core layer and the film. Alternatively, instead of aluminum foil, a gas barrier layer made of plastic or an inorganic material (eg, polyamide, polyethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) or silicon oxide) can be used.
[0004]
The reel with the packaging laminate is mounted on a packaging machine. In a packaging machine, the reels are wound up and routed in the packaging machine while using drive mechanisms located at several locations on the packaging machine. The web of packaging laminate is formed into a tube and sealed longitudinally in the packaging machine. In the packaging machine, the liquid or flowable food product is supplied from above while filling the interior of the tubular packaging laminate while the tube is being moved downstream. The tubes of the packaging laminate are then laterally compressed from both sides and laterally sealed at specific intervals to form an interconnected, filled and sealed packaging container. The sealed packaging container is then separated from the tube by cutting between the laterally extending sealed portions, and the packaging container thus separated is preformed, for example, in a packaging laminate. Crease and bend along the crease lines to the particular desired shape; and, if desired, seal to maintain that shape.
[0005]
Sealing the tubular packaging laminate in the longitudinal or transverse direction is accomplished by heat sealing the outer surfaces of the packaging laminate made of a heat-sealable thermoplastic with each other. This can be done by known heat sealing techniques (eg, induction heat sealing, radio frequency (RF) or microwave heat sealing, thermal convection sealing, or ultrasonic vibration heat sealing).
As described above, the conventional packaging machine employs a heat sealing device for sealing the packaging laminate. The heat sealing device is usually provided with a so-called counter jaw and a heat seal jaws, which are arranged and operated in opposing relation to each other. .
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0006]
One preferred method of achieving a transverse seal is to overlap some of the two edges of the laminate and compress them together into a seal when no metal layer is present in the laminate. While using ultrasonic energy to melt the sealing layer while applying pressure at the same time. During such ultrasonic vibration heat sealing, the amount of ultrasonic energy that is converted to heat is proportional to the pressure applied to the sealing area of the laminate. However, in order for the seals of containers made from conventional packaging laminates to be truly strong and liquid impervious, it is imperative that the settings of the sealing machine be made with very tight tolerances. is there. This tolerance must also be significantly stable during continuous operation of the sealing machine. These settings include, for example, tube guiding; operation of an anvil jaw to apply pressure to the seal; and ultrasonic horns and cutting rails for cutting the tube between the transverse seals. Settings such as: If the tolerances of these mechanical settings are small, the applied pressure will be small at some points, and therefore the energy converted to heat will be low, the resulting seal will be weak and not liquid impervious. In addition, there is a problem that a plastic lump is formed in the sealing layer. Furthermore, the heat sealing process by ultrasonic vibrations may not be very tolerable when used on conventional packaging laminates in other respects, such as the presence of foreign matter in those sealed areas. Another very important consideration is the requirement for the laminate material when the package is filled with a liquid food (eg, milk, juice, water, etc.).
[0007]
In the case of transverse seals, the problem of weak seals due to small mechanical setting tolerances will be particularly pronounced due to overlap of longitudinal seals. One of the anvil jaws is provided with a compensation profile to compensate for excess thickness in the overlap between the transverse and longitudinal seals. However, this means that having a small tolerance is even more important. If, for example, due to continuous tube guiding problems, such as kinking of the tube, an excessively thick overlap between the lateral and longitudinal seals may cause If the position shifts, the pressure will drop in certain areas of the seal, and therefore the strength of the seal will be adversely affected. Weak seals can create channels and thus cause package leakage.
Despite these shortcomings associated with using an ultrasonic transverse sealing process, it is often the most desirable to use an ultrasonic transverse sealing process because it is a rapid process.
[Means for Solving the Problems]
[0008]
(Brief description of the invention)
It is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging laminate that is more forgiving to the general situation during sealing by ultrasonic energy, preferably also exhibiting improved mechanical properties. It is to provide. The aim is, inter alia, that the tolerances of the mechanical settings of the sealing machine are small; poor tube guiding; unstable operation of the anvil jaws; To provide a packaging laminate that is more tolerant to common situations such as poor parallelism between the sonic horn and cutting rails; the presence of foreign matter in the seal area; .
The primary object of the invention is, of course, to packaging containers made from the packaging laminate according to the invention; and also in the overlap between the transverse and longitudinal seals of the packaging container; strong and liquid impervious Is to give a lateral seal.
[0009]
Further, it is desirable that the packaging laminate according to the present invention be well adapted for use in food packaging containers.
These and other objects are obtained from the packaging laminate of the invention as defined in claim 1, the method of the invention as defined in claim 11, and the packaging laminate as defined in claim 16. Is achieved by having a packaging container.
[0010]
The general idea of the present invention is to provide a packaging laminate that is very tolerant of the sealing situation. This means that the sealing layer made of a heat-sealable thermoplastic material (polyolefin) is arranged to be the outermost layer on one side of the laminate, so that it is arranged inside the container. This is due to the fact that the packaging laminate has an inner layer including the sealing layer intended. According to the invention, the sealing layer is a heat-sealable thermoplastic material, which is less than 115 J / g, preferably less than 105 J / g, more preferably less than 95 J / g, but usually at least 40 J / g, Preferably the material exhibits a melt enthalpy of at least 50 J / g. Examples of such materials are metallocene polyethylene materials, preferably metallocene low density polyethylene materials, more preferably metallocene linear low density polyethylene materials. One preferred example of such a material is "Affinity PL1880" by Dow. Other possible materials in the same group are, besides other Affinity grades by Dow; "Exceed ML1023" by ExxonMobil; Exact by ExxonMobil; Elite by Dow; Umerit by JPO; and JPC Kernel;
[0011]
According to one aspect of the invention, a heat-sealable thermoplastic sealing layer that exhibits a low melting enthalpy is much smaller than the melting enthalpy of an adjacent thermoplastic layer in the inner layer (preferably, the melting enthalpy of any layer in the inner layer). Enthalpy of fusion). In this context, "lower" means preferably smaller by at least 10 J / g, more preferably smaller by at least 15 J / g, and most preferably smaller by at least 20 J / g. Most preferably, the enthalpy of fusion decreases at each stage when the different layers are examined in the direction from the base layer to the outermost layer. That said, several adjacent layers may have the same melting enthalpy.
[0012]
Thanks to the nature of the heat-sealable thermoplastic, packaging laminates exhibit a sealing window with a lowermost limit lower than the corresponding limit of conventional packaging laminates. ing. Furthermore, the laminate according to the invention comprising a heat-sealable thermoplastic sealing layer preferably exhibits a wide sealing window, preferably a wider sealing window than conventional packaging materials.
[0013]
The concept of a sealing window is well known to those skilled in the art and is defined as the energy range over which sealing is possible. A "low minimum" occurs when an acceptable seal occurs at a low energy level, which in turn reduces the sensitivity of the heat sealing device by ultrasonic vibrations to mechanical settings and other prevailing circumstances. Means that. Even when low pressure is applied at some points along the sealing area, the energy converted to heat is sufficient to melt the heat-sealable thermoplastic sealing layer with low melting entropy, and therefore, It is possible to form a liquid-impermeable seal. The high ceiling of the sealing window means that considerable energy can be supplied.
[0014]
Furthermore, the inner layer also preferably comprises a layer consisting of a so-called C4, C6 or C8 linear low density polyethylene (C4LLDPE, C6LLDPE, C8LLDPE). C4, C6 and C8 LLDPEs are polyethylenes obtained with small amounts of C4, C6 or C8 alpha olefins that are used as comonomers during ethylene polymerization. Preferably, the C4, C6 or C8 LLDPE layer, more preferably the C6 or C8 LLDPE layer, is a second layer from the outside of the laminate (ie, a heat-sealable thermoplastic material having a low melting enthalpy). Layer in direct contact with the layer). The combination of these two layers advantageously results in a surprisingly strong and liquid-impermeable transverse seal despite the biased mechanical setting of the sealing machine.
[0015]
Even more surprisingly, despite the fact that the transverse seal is very strong, the openability of the opening device, consisting of perforations partially passing through the transverse seal, is very good. I found it.
[0016]
The laminate according to the invention is particularly well suited for use with ultrasonic vibration heat sealing. A feature of ultrasonic vibration sealing technology is that all material under pressure between the ultrasonic horn and the anvil jaw is heated simultaneously by vibration. It is sufficient for the outermost layer (i.e., the outermost layer on the side of the laminate, towards the inside of the container) to reach the melting point for a strong seal to occur. As a result, to reduce the sensitivity of the heat sealing process by ultrasonic vibrations and achieve a strong, liquid impervious transverse seal, a thin seal made of heat sealable thermoplastic material with low melting enthalpy It is sufficient to provide only the layer to the inner layer. In other words, even a thin layer of the heat-sealable thermoplastic according to the present invention is sufficient to effectively lower the minimum limit of the sealing window.
[0017]
In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.
[0018]
FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a packaging laminate 10 according to the invention. The structural base layer of the laminate comprises a paper layer or cardboard layer 4. However, it is also contemplated that the structural base layer comprises a mineral-filled polyolefin (eg, mineral-filled polypropylene). The structural base layer is a layer that contributes most to the volume and thickness of the laminated product 10. The side of the laminate, which is intended to face the inside of a packaging container made from the packaging laminate, is provided with an inner layer 6. The inner layer 6 is made of at least one layer, preferably at least two layers and up to six layers, and in FIG. 1 is made of four layers. The structural base layer 4 typically exhibits a thickness at least 6 times, preferably at least 8 times, more preferably at least 10 times as thick as the inner layer 6. In other words, the structural base layer has a thickness of at least 200 μm, preferably at least 250 μm, more preferably at least 300 μm.
[0019]
The first layer 1 of the inner layer 6 is made of a first thermoplastic material (polyolefin). The first layer is a polyethylene (PE) layer, preferably a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) layer, more preferably a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) layer, and has a thickness of 3 to 30 g / m2. 2 , Preferably 4 to 10 g / m 2 , More preferably 5 to 8 g / m 2 Those showing the basis weight (grammage) are suitable. According to the invention, said first layer is particularly preferably a so-called C4, C6 or C8 LLDPE layer, most preferably a C6 or C8 LLDPE layer.
[0020]
According to the invention, said inner layer 6 also has a second layer 2. The second layer 2 also refers to a sealing ply 2 and is made of a heat-sealable second thermoplastic material (polyolefin). This second layer is arranged to be the outermost layer on the side of the laminate intended to face the inside of the packaging container. The second thermoplastic material of the second layer 2 is different from the first thermoplastic material and exhibits a low melting enthalpy according to the above. Due to the fact that it is enough for the outermost layer 2 to reach its melting point to produce a strong seal, the second layer 2 is 10 g / m2. 2 It is not necessary to show a larger basis weight. The second layer 2 is preferably 2 to 10 g / m 2 , More preferably 3 to 8 g / m 2 Having a basis weight of 5g / m 2 Even less than a thin layer might be conceivable.
[0021]
According to one aspect of the invention, the inner layer 6 also has a third layer 3 made of a thermoplastic material (polyolefin). The third layer is also a polyethylene (PE) layer, preferably a low density polyethylene (LDPE) layer; 2 , Preferably 15 to 25 g / m 2 Is suitable. The third layer 3 is arranged between the first layer 1 and the structural base layer 4 in the packaging laminate 10.
Furthermore, the inner layer (6) may also have a fourth layer (7) made of a thermoplastic material. The fourth layer is preferably a low density polyethylene (LDPE) layer. However, it is also conceivable that the fourth layer is a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) layer. Although not depicted, the fourth layer 7 may itself consist of one to five sub-layers made of the same material. The fourth layer 7 has a thickness of 5 to 30 g / m. 2 , Preferably 8 to 20 g / m 2 , More preferably 10 to 15 g / m 2 Shows the total basis weight of The fourth layer 7 was in direct contact with the first layer 1 on the opposite side of the second layer 2 in the laminate 10 (ie, between the first layer 3 and the third layer 3). They are arranged in a state.
[0022]
Due to the beneficial properties of the second layer 2, the basis weight of the first layer 1, the third layer 3 and the fourth layer 7 can be reduced, so that the material of the second layer 2 It is an advantage of the present invention that increased costs are reduced due to the relatively high cost.
The decorative layer 5 is arranged on the side of the laminate 10 intended to form the outside of the packaging container. The decorative layer 5 preferably comprises a polyethylene (PE) layer, preferably a low density polyethylene (LDPE) layer, and the decorative layer 5 has a thickness of 5 to 25 g / m2. 2 , Preferably 8 to 20 g / m 2 Is shown.
[0023]
When producing the packaging laminate 10 according to the invention, the base layer 4 including the decorative layer 5 is provided as a web on a reel. A film comprising a first layer 1 made of a thermoplastic material together with a second layer 2 and a fourth layer 7 made of a thermoplastic material is provided on another reel. The lamination between the materials on the two reels is preferably effected by means of a conventional laminating machine by means of a third layer 3 made of thermoplastic material, which is extruded between the web and the film. Tri-layer films made of thermoplastic material and comprising a first layer 1, a second layer 2 and a fourth layer 7 are, for example, extruded blown films or extruded cast films. cast film). Another technique for producing packaging laminates according to the invention is to apply the extrusion coating to the base layer with a plurality of separate inner layers 6, preferably by coextrusion techniques.
[0024]
The separate layers in the inner layer and the laminate are suitably joined to one another, directly or indirectly, essentially over their entire surface facing each other. However, a second layer made of a second thermoplastic material, the second layer being located only in the area of the laminate in which a transversal seal is to be formed, ie a strip It may also be possible to use a second layer in the form of a (strip) or a partial ply.
Packaging laminates according to the present invention have been developed, inter alia, to contain no additional layers apart from the layers mentioned above, but, although not preferred, other types of layers (eg barrier layers) Can of course also exist.
[0025]
With reference to FIG. 2, the web-shaped flexible packaging laminate 10 is mounted as a reel 21 on a packaging machine. In the packaging machine, the laminate 10 is unreeled and fed from the reels within the packaging machine using drive mechanisms (not specifically depicted) located at several locations on the packaging machine. Can be The packaging laminate 10 is guided by a guide 22, sealed longitudinally by a sealing device (not specifically depicted), and formed into a tube 23. While the tube 23 is transferred downstream in the packaging machine, a liquid product or a flowable product is fed from the top through a filler pipe 24 for filling the interior of the tube. The packaging laminate of the tube is then laterally compressed from both sides using a counter jaw (not specifically depicted) and a heat sealing jaw (not shown) to form a tube. The packaging laminate is laterally sealed at specific intervals, resulting in an interconnected, filled and sealed, pillow-shaped packaging container. The sealed packaging container is then separated from the tube as a separate pillow-shaped primary container 25 by cutting between the laterally extending sealed portions.
[0026]
FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of the overlap between a longitudinal seal 31 extending from the plane of the figure and a lateral seal 32 extending in the plane of the figure. It is shown in the figure. Here, the tubes formed by the longitudinal seals 31 are compressed together such that the two second outermost layers 2, now arranged inside the tubes, face each other. A sealing strip 34 is arranged over the entire inner seam 33 of the longitudinal seal. This sealing strip is preferably constituted by a polypropylene strip. The most important areas for a standard transverse seal are referred to as Section 1 (z1) and Section 2 (z2). The pressure applied in these areas in connection with the heat sealing process by ultrasonic vibrations is important. This is because there are thickness steps between the two and three layers of the laminate in the area of overlap of the vertical seal 31. To compensate for these steps, the anvil jaw 40 is provided with a compensation profile 41 as shown in FIG. 4, which is conventional and preferred in connection with the present invention. The compensation profile basically consists of a recess. The recess has edges modified to correspond to the width (w) of the overlap, as shown in FIG. The position (or rotation) of the tube relative to the anvil jaw is defined by the value of d in FIG. d is the distance between the alignment mark setting X on the anvil jaw 40 and the thickness step of section 1 at the center of the compensation profile 41. If the position of the tube (and thus the position of the overlap), determined by d, is poorly matched to the compensation profile 41, the resulting pressure will be lower in the region of z1 and / or z2. Will be. However, in the context of the present invention, a strong and liquid-impermeable seal 32 is very advantageously created anyway thanks to the composition of the acceptable packaging laminate 10 according to the invention.
[0027]
The lateral sealing process is performed by providing energy, preferably ultrasonic energy, between the two anvil jaws while simultaneously mechanically compressing the tubes. It is appropriate to give one of the anvil jaws ultrasonic horns. These ultrasonic horns are arranged to compress the tube with the other anvil jaw as a holder-on to provide ultrasonic energy. The compression and the supply of energy are usually performed at a pressure of 1 to 10 MPa for a time interval of 100 to 250 msec, preferably 140 to 220 msec.
[0028]
(Example)
In the following examples, three different laminates according to the invention were tested, as well as one control laminate of the conventional type. The laminates are specified in Table 1. L1 and L2 were made by laminating the film with a cardboard / decorative layer. The L1 film consisted of a first layer, a second layer, and a fourth layer, as described above. The L2 film consisted of a second layer and a fourth layer. The control and L3 laminates were made by extrusion coating. In Table 1, the numbering of the layers follows the numbering shown in FIG. As is evident from Table 1, the inner layers of the laminate according to the invention may have a different number of layers. This means that the first layer 1, the fourth layer 7, or the third layer 3 may be a layer arranged in a state of being in direct contact with the second sealing layer 2.

[0030]
FIG. 5 illustrates a force-elongation curve (ie, maximum tensile load) of a transverse seal that partially overlaps a longitudinal seal for a control laminate. The corresponding curve for L1 is plotted. As can be seen, the force of the L1 seal is significantly improved over the control. This can be attributed to an advantageous combination of a low melting enthalpy sealing layer and a robust C6 LLDPE interlayer.
[0031]
Table 2 shows the defect rates of the top and bottom seals of 1050 samples, which were tested and measured as red ink leakage. As can be seen, the bottom seals of the containers made from the L1, L2 and L3 laminates were completely free, whereas the containers made from the control laminates had two bottom seals. 0.6% leaked. Although the effect on the top seal was not as significant, at least L1 and L3 were much better than the control laminate.

FIG. 6 shows the resulting packaging as a function of the position of the tube relative to the anvil jaw for the various packaging containers made from the three laminates according to the invention and the control laminate. 2 shows the width of the transverse seal in section 1 taken. The smaller the value of d on the X axis, the worse the positioning. See FIG. 3 and the related description for the definition of d. It can be seen that at least L1 and L3 allow much worse positioning compared to the control.
[0034]
FIG. 7 shows the sealing window of the laminate tested in the examples. Here, it is confirmed that the laminated products L1 and L3 are the best specific examples of the present invention. This is because these laminates exhibit the lowest lower limit of the sealing window and a relatively wide sealing window.
However, the invention is not limited by the description of the preferred embodiments, but can vary within the scope of the claims.
