JP 2004-105873 A JP 2006-110469 A

  Conventional liquid sachets are generally filled with contents from the upper opening by folding the laminated sheet and heat-sealing the vertical and bottom pieces, as disclosed in, for example, JP-A-2005-186507. Thereafter, the upper side is formed by heat sealing.

  As disclosed in Patent Document 1, when discarding a product such as a seasoning liquid (sauce, soy sauce, sauce, etc.) in a liquid sachet whose expiration date has expired, the sachet is broken to squeeze out the contents, Separation into waste liquid and sachets is necessary. In particular, when there are a large number of liquid sachets that need to be sorted, sorting must be automated. For this reason, a small bag breaker disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been developed.

  However, in the sachet breaker disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the liquid sachet is put into the hopper, the child bag is wound around the incision blade by the open sword mountain drum and then passes through the incision blade. This cutting blade breaks the bag into pieces, and a part of the contents flows out from the inside of the pouch, and the pouch is separated from the sword mountain drum by the action of the scraper and falls downward. A squeezing means is waiting under the bag breaking means, and the sachet is received by the V belt or mesh belt of the squeezing means and then squeezed between the squeezing drum and the V belt or mesh belt. After the contents are squeezed out and flattened, the sachet is peeled off by a squeezing drum scraper and then discharged outside the machine through a waste bag chute between the squeezing drum and the V-belt or mesh belt. Further, the content squeezed out from the inside of the sachet flows down from the V-belt or the mesh belt into the waste hopper of the waste liquid means and is collected and then discharged outside the apparatus.

  However, in the bag breaking machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the sachet is torn with the cutting blade, the contents flow out, and further, the hand contents flow out by being squeezed by the V belt and the squeezing drum. When the content is a highly viscous liquid, a problem arises in that the liquid adheres to the cutting blade and the cutting blade is poorly cut. Moreover, since it adheres also between a V belt and a squeezing drum, when a content adheres and it dries, there exists a possibility that operation | movement of an apparatus may be inhibited, Therefore It needs to wash | clean frequently.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid sachet separation and recovery device that can accommodate a liquid sachet filled with a highly viscous liquid and minimizes contamination of the device itself.

It is desirable that the punch portion which is located on the side and penetrates the liquid sachet is inserted and at the same time a punch receiving portion which holds the liquid sachet.

  Thus, according to the present invention, the guide roller portion for moving the liquid pouch on the guide rail is held by holding the upper end portion of the liquid pouch, so that the contamination of the guide roller portion can be prevented and the guide roller portion Can hold the upper end of the liquid sachet within a predetermined range and apply a predetermined pressure to the liquid inside the liquid sachet, so that a hole can be easily opened near the lower rear end of the liquid sachet. In addition, since the liquid can be released from the moment when the hole is opened, the amount of squeezing by the squeezing roller portion can be reduced, so that the contamination of the squeezing roller portion can be reduced.

  Further, it is desirable that the guide roller portion is constituted by two sets of roller groups in which a pair of rollers that sandwich the upper end portion of the liquid pouch are arranged at a predetermined interval. As a result, the liquid sachet can be smoothly conveyed. Further, it is desirable that the distance between the guide roller portion and the guide rail can be adjusted according to the width of the liquid pouch.

  Further, in this invention, the squeezing roller portion is arranged at a predetermined interval on one side of the liquid pouch and a roller group on one side arranged at a predetermined interval on the other side of the liquid pouch. It is desirable that the roller group on the other side is constituted by a roller group on the other side, and the roller group on the one side and the roller group on the other side are each connected by an entrainment prevention belt.

  Thus, the liquid sachet after the liquid is squeezed is surely discharged to the sachet collection container without being caught by the rollers of the squeeze roller portion of the roller group of the squeezing roller portion.

  From the above, according to the liquid sachet separation and recovery device of the present invention, liquids such as seasonings with low viscosity such as soy sauce and ponzu, and seasonings with high viscosity such as ketchup, grilled meat sauce and mayonnaise are filled. When the liquid sachet is disposed of, the filled liquid and the liquid sachet filled with the liquid can be reliably separated.
