Description

本発明は、飲料などを充填する包装充填装置及び包装充填方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a packaging and filling apparatus and a packaging and filling method for filling beverages and the like.

牛乳、ミネラルウォーター、茶、ジュース、スープ、アルコール類等の流動食品を収容する包装容器を製造する場合、ウェブ状（帯状）の包装積層材料が使用され、該包装積層材料がヒートシール、超音波シール等によってシールされることにより、包装容器が形成される。例えば、包装充填装置において、帯状包装積層材料の縁部にシーリングテープを前もって接合し、包装積層材料をチューブ状に成形し、チューブの内側から、包装積層材料の両縁部同士を、シーリングテープと共に押し当てて縦シール装置によって長手方向（縦方向）にシールした後、チューブ状の包装積層材料の中に液体食品を充填しながら、横シール装置によって横方向にシールして切断し、枕状の原型容器を形成し、該原型容器を更に所定の形状に成形して包装容器を完成させる。 When manufacturing packaging containers that contain liquid foods such as milk, mineral water, tea, juice, soup, alcohol, etc., a web-like (band-like) packaging laminate material is used, and the packaging laminate material is heat sealed, ultrasonic By being sealed with a seal or the like, a packaging container is formed. For example, in a packaging filling device, a sealing tape is joined in advance to the edge of a strip-shaped packaging laminate material, the packaging laminate material is formed into a tube shape, and both edges of the packaging laminate material are joined together with the sealing tape from the inside of the tube. After pressing and sealing in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction) with a vertical sealing device, while filling the tube-shaped packaging laminate material with liquid food, it is sealed and cut in the lateral direction with a horizontal sealing device, An original container is formed, and the original container is further formed into a predetermined shape to complete a packaging container.

前記包装充填装置において、この装置内を帯状包装積層材料が搬送され、その無菌室内で帯状包装積層材料の縁部である縦シール部面に帯状包装材料の他端の縁部が合せられ、これらの材料が接合される。すなわち、チューブ状に成形された包装積層材料の両縁部同士を、縦シール装置によってシーリングテープと共に押し当てて縦シールする。
帯状包装積層材料の縁部面に他端の縁部を合せ接合する際、例えば、帯状包装積層材料の縁部に他端の縁部とを予熱し、これらを挟んで、一方側に、プレッシャローラを回転自在に配設して圧し、他方に、プレッシャローラによる圧力を受け、それに対向し、押さえ支持するようにカウンタローラを回転自在に配設する。 In the packaging and filling device, the belt-shaped packaging laminate material is conveyed in the device, and the edge of the other end of the belt-shaped packaging material is aligned with the vertical seal portion surface which is the edge of the belt-shaped packaging laminate material in the aseptic chamber. The materials are joined. That is, both edges of the packaging laminated material formed into a tube shape are pressed together with the sealing tape by a vertical sealing device to perform vertical sealing.
When joining the edge portion of the other end to the edge surface of the strip-shaped packaging laminate material, for example, preheating the edge portion of the strip-shaped packaging laminate material with the edge of the other end and sandwiching them, the pressure is applied to one side. A counter roller is rotatably disposed so that the roller is rotatably disposed and pressed, and on the other side, receives pressure from the pressure roller, opposes and supports the roller.

したがって、予熱された包装積層材料が搬送されるに伴って、前記プレッシャローラ及びカウンタローラが包装積層材料の両縁部同士を挟んだ状態で押圧されて回転させ、合せて接合する面がヒートシールされ接合される。（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
実公平０４−０５１１３８号公報 Therefore, as the preheated packaging laminate material is conveyed, the pressure roller and the counter roller are pressed and rotated in a state where both edges of the packaging laminate material are sandwiched, and the surfaces to be joined together are heat sealed. And joined. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

制御手段の判定例としては、運転開始直後の包装積層材料の比較的遅い搬送速度の段階において比較的高い予熱縁部の表面温度になり、この段階では、予熱手段へ供給されるホットエアーの流路に設けられたエアー調節手段によって、ホットエアーの一部を無菌室内に放出するように制御信号を送信する。横シールする位置を調整するデザイン調整では、更に搬送速度が遅くなり、表面温度がより高くなる段階においては、更に多くのホットエアーを無菌室内に放出するように制御信号を送信する。 In the feature of the packaging and filling apparatus of the present invention, the control means determines from the operation parameter value of the packaging and filling apparatus and / or the operation monitoring value of the packaging and filling apparatus and transmits the control signal to the preheating means.

As a determination example of the control means, the surface temperature of the preheating edge becomes relatively high at the stage of relatively slow conveyance speed of the packaging laminate material immediately after the start of operation. At this stage, the flow of hot air supplied to the preheating means A control signal is transmitted so that a part of the hot air is discharged into the sterile room by the air adjusting means provided in the road.

図２に示されるように、帯状包装積層材料１は、リールの状態で包装充填装置に収容される。包装積層材料１は、紙基材及び紙基材の両面にポリエチレン樹脂が積層された可撓性の積層体から成り、アルミニウム箔、ガスバリヤ性樹脂等から成るバリヤ層が形成され、文字模様等の印刷が施される。 As shown in FIG. 2, the strip-shaped packaging laminate material 1 is accommodated in a packaging and filling apparatus in a reel state. The packaging laminate material 1 is composed of a paper substrate and a flexible laminate in which polyethylene resin is laminated on both sides of the paper substrate, and a barrier layer made of aluminum foil, gas barrier resin or the like is formed, and a character pattern or the like is formed. Printing is performed.

繰り出された包装積層材料１は、搬送手段によって連続的に搬送され、ベンディングローラ、ダンパローラ等を経て、シーリングテープ貼着装置３に送られ、包装積層材料１の一方の縁部に沿ってシーリングテープ２が貼着される。
帯状包装積層材料１の縁部にシーリングテープ２を前もって接着する際、帯状包装積層材料とシーリングテープ２とを挟んで、一方側に、プレッシャローラを回転自在に配設して圧し、他方に、プレッシャローラによる圧力を受け、それに対向し、押さえ支持するようにカウンタローラを回転自在に配設する。
包装積層材料が搬送されるに伴って、プレッシャローラ及びカウンタローラが包装積層材料及びシーリングテープを挟んだ状態で押圧されて回転させ、縦シール部の合せ面がシールされ接着される。 The drawn packaging laminate material 1 is continuously conveyed by a conveying means, passed through a bending roller, a damper roller, etc., and sent to the sealing tape adhering device 3, and the sealing tape along one edge of the packaging laminate material 1. 2 is stuck.
When adhering the sealing tape 2 to the edge of the strip-shaped packaging laminate material 1 in advance, the pressure-roller is rotatably arranged and pressed on one side with the strip-shaped packaging laminate material and the sealing tape 2 sandwiched therebetween, A counter roller is rotatably disposed so as to receive pressure from the pressure roller, face the pressure roller, and support the pressure roller.
As the packaging laminate material is conveyed, the pressure roller and the counter roller are pressed and rotated with the packaging laminate material and the sealing tape sandwiched therebetween, and the mating surfaces of the vertical seal portions are sealed and bonded.

続いて、包装積層材料１は、殺菌槽４に送られ、殺菌槽４において過酸化水素等の殺菌液によって殺菌される。包装積層材料１は、エアナイフ５に送られ、エアナイフ５によって乾燥させられた後、無菌室４０に送られる。そして、包装積層材料１は、成形リング６、その他の成形リングによって徐々に変形させられてチューブ状の形状にされる。包装積層材料１は、縦シール装置の予熱手段８からのホットエアーによって予熱されて、縦方向にシールされ、充填パイプ７を介して供給された流動性食品がチューブ状包装積層材料１内に充填される。 Subsequently, the packaging laminate material 1 is sent to the sterilization tank 4 and sterilized with a sterilization liquid such as hydrogen peroxide in the sterilization tank 4. The packaging laminate material 1 is sent to the air knife 5, dried by the air knife 5, and then sent to the sterilization chamber 40. Then, the packaging laminate material 1 is gradually deformed by the forming ring 6 and other forming rings into a tubular shape. The packaging laminate material 1 is preheated by hot air from the preheating means 8 of the longitudinal seal device, sealed in the longitudinal direction, and filled with the fluid food supplied through the filling pipe 7 into the tubular packaging laminate material 1. Is done.

ホットエアーは帯状包装積層材料の縁部を加熱する。筒状成形のステップ及び予熱・シールステップにおいて、包装積層材料を無菌的に無菌室４０で被い一時的に収容する。 Hot air heats the edges of the strip wrap laminate. In the cylindrical molding step and the preheating / sealing step, the packaging laminated material is aseptically covered in the aseptic chamber 40 and temporarily accommodated.

包装積層材料１は、縦シール装置の予熱手段８からのホットエアーによって予熱される。縦シール装置の一例を示す図１の概略図を参照して説明すると、予熱手段８において、ガイドロールで包装積層材料の縁部一端１ａを案内しながら、縁部一端１ａを予熱手段８のホットエアーノズルで加熱し、ホットエアーノズルの裏面で縁部他端も案内する。 The packaging laminate material 1 is preheated by hot air from the preheating means 8 of the vertical seal device. Referring to the schematic diagram of FIG. 1 showing an example of the vertical sealing device, in the preheating means 8, the edge end 1 a is hot of the preheating means 8 while guiding the edge end 1 a of the packaging laminated material with a guide roll. Heat with an air nozzle and guide the other end of the edge on the back of the hot air nozzle.

プレッシャローラとカウンタローラとによって、チューブ状に成形された包装積層材料１の両縁部同士を、縦シール装置のローラによってシーリングテープと共に押し当てる。
プレッシャローラは、予熱手段８により加熱された縦シール部を筒内側から圧する。他方、カウンタローラが、縦シール部を挟んでプレッシャローラと対向し、筒外側から押さえる。その結果、熱と圧力で縦シールを得ることができる。 Both edges of the packaging laminate material 1 formed into a tube shape are pressed together with the sealing tape by the roller of the vertical sealing device by the pressure roller and the counter roller.
The pressure roller presses the vertical seal portion heated by the preheating means 8 from the inside of the cylinder. On the other hand, the counter roller faces the pressure roller with the vertical seal portion interposed therebetween, and is pressed from the outside of the cylinder. As a result, a vertical seal can be obtained with heat and pressure.

図１に示す態様では、包装充填装置の運転パラメータ値及び又は包装充填装置の運転モニタリング値から制御手段２０が判定して予熱手段８側に制御信号Ａを送信する。
包装充填装置の運転パラメータ値には、運転開始時刻、一時運転中断のショートストップ時刻、帯状包装積層材料の搬送速度などがある。
包装充填装置の運転モニタリング値には、予熱手段８のホットエアー温度（測定信号Ｃ）、温度計２１で測定された予熱縁部１ａの表面の表面温度（測定信号Ｂ）、ホットエアー供給源２３の温度（測定信号Ｄ）、プレッシャローラの押圧力、無菌室内の雰囲気温度及び、無菌室内の陽圧の程度などがある。 In the aspect shown in FIG. 1, the control means 20 determines from the operation parameter value of a packaging filling apparatus and / or the operation monitoring value of a packaging filling apparatus, and transmits the control signal A to the preheating means 8 side.
The operation parameter values of the packaging and filling apparatus include an operation start time, a short stop time for temporary operation interruption, and a conveyance speed of the belt-shaped packaging laminate material.
The operation monitoring values of the packaging filling device include the hot air temperature of the preheating means 8 (measurement signal C), the surface temperature of the preheating edge 1a measured by the thermometer 21 (measurement signal B), and the hot air supply source 23. Temperature (measurement signal D), pressure pressure of the pressure roller, atmospheric temperature in the sterile room, and positive pressure in the sterile room.

As the air adjusting means 24, there is a solenoid valve in which a bypass hole is provided in the vicinity of the nozzle head and the hot air flow rate is controlled by a control signal A. Hot air can escape from this valve into the sterile room.

図１に示す制御態様では、運転開始直後の比較的遅い搬送速度で比較的高い予熱縁部の表面温度になり、この段階で、ホットエアー供給源２３から予熱手段８へ供給されるホットエアーの流路２２に設けられたエアー調節手段２４によって、制御手段２０がホットエアーの一部を無菌室４０内に放出するように制御信号Ａを送信する。更に搬送速度が遅くなり、表面温度がより高くなると、更に多くのホットエアーを無菌室４０内に放出するように制御信号を送信する。
一方、搬送速度が正常に戻ったとき、ホットエアーの放出を停止するように制御信号を送信する。
上述のように、無菌室４０内に放出されるので、無菌室４０内全体への流量は不変のままであり、陽圧も変化しない。また、予熱手段８のノズルに流れるホットエアーの流量を調節することができるので、予熱手段８のノズルへ流れるホットエアーの流量を制御することでき、このノズル及び予熱縁部の表面の温度を制御することができる。 In the control mode shown in FIG. 1, the surface temperature of the preheating edge becomes relatively high at a relatively slow conveyance speed immediately after the start of operation. At this stage, the hot air supplied from the hot air supply source 23 to the preheating means 8 The control means 20 transmits a control signal A so that part of the hot air is discharged into the aseptic chamber 40 by the air adjusting means 24 provided in the flow path 22. When the conveying speed is further decreased and the surface temperature becomes higher, a control signal is transmitted so as to release more hot air into the sterilization chamber 40.
On the other hand, when the conveyance speed returns to normal, a control signal is transmitted so as to stop the discharge of hot air.
As described above, since it is discharged into the aseptic chamber 40, the flow rate into the entire aseptic chamber 40 remains unchanged, and the positive pressure does not change. Further, since the flow rate of hot air flowing to the nozzle of the preheating means 8 can be adjusted, the flow rate of hot air flowing to the nozzle of the preheating means 8 can be controlled, and the surface temperature of the nozzle and the preheating edge portion can be controlled. can do.
