Description

本発明は、流動体をヒートシール部で密封包装してなる瓶口部を有した密封袋の製造装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a sealed bag having a bottle mouth portion formed by sealing and packaging a fluid in a heat seal portion.

従来、スープ、ソースのような流動体の袋詰め包装は次のようにして行われている。   Conventionally, the packaging of fluids such as soups and sauces is performed as follows.

まず、フィルム状包材が長さ方向に送られつつ同方向に平行な線上で折り返され、同方向に伸びる縦ヒートシール部がヒートシール車により形成されることにより、筒状の重畳体とされる。重畳体の進行方向には重畳体を挟む一対又は複数対のヒートシールローラが配置され、このヒートシールローラの回転により先行横ヒートシール部が設けられ、これにより重畳体に有底袋部が形成される。また、ヒートシールローラの上方では流動体の充填ノズルが重畳体内にその合わせ目から入り込み、この充填ノズルが流動体を有底袋部内に一定流量で常時吐出する。   First, the film-shaped packaging material is folded in a line parallel to the same direction while being sent in the length direction, and a vertical heat seal portion extending in the same direction is formed by a heat seal wheel, thereby forming a cylindrical superposed body. The A pair or a plurality of heat seal rollers sandwiching the superimposed body are arranged in the traveling direction of the superimposed body, and a preceding horizontal heat seal portion is provided by rotation of the heat seal roller, thereby forming a bottomed bag portion on the superimposed body. Is done. Further, above the heat seal roller, a fluid filling nozzle enters the overlapped body from its joint, and this filling nozzle constantly discharges the fluid into the bottomed bag portion at a constant flow rate.

重畳体の進行に同期してヒートシールローラが回転すると、重畳体の上流側が後続横ヒートシール部の形成によって閉じられ、定量の流動体が封入された密封袋が形成される。以後、上記と同様な操作が繰り返され、流動体の入った密封袋が重畳体に一定ピッチで形成される。密封袋はその後、横ヒートシール部上で切断され重畳体から分離される(例えば、特許文献1,2,3,4参照。)。   When the heat seal roller rotates in synchronization with the progress of the superposed body, the upstream side of the superposed body is closed by the formation of the subsequent lateral heat seal portion, and a sealed bag in which a fixed amount of fluid is enclosed is formed. Thereafter, the same operation as described above is repeated, and a sealed bag containing a fluid is formed on the superposed body at a constant pitch. Thereafter, the sealing bag is cut on the transverse heat seal portion and separated from the superposed body (see, for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, 3, and 4).

また、密封袋には、その袋壁を引き裂くことにより中味の流動体を注ぎ出しやすくすることができる瓶口部が形成される場合がある。瓶口部を密封袋に形成する場合は、上記ヒートシールローラに固定されるヒートシールバーに、この瓶口部を形成するための瓶口シール部が設けられる(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。   In addition, the sealed bag may be formed with a bottle opening that can easily pour out the fluid content by tearing the bag wall. In the case of forming the bottle opening part in a sealed bag, a bottle seal part for forming the bottle opening part is provided on the heat seal bar fixed to the heat seal roller (see, for example, Patent Document 2). .

密封袋に形成するべき瓶口部の形状には様々なものがあり、これに応じてヒートシールバーも各種瓶口部の形状ごとに用意される。密封袋製造装置で密封袋を製造するに際しては、密封袋に形成するべき瓶口部の形状等に応じてヒートシールバーをヒートシールローラに付け替えなければならない。   There are various shapes of the bottle mouth portion to be formed in the sealed bag, and according to this, a heat seal bar is also prepared for each shape of the various bottle mouth portions. When a sealed bag is manufactured by the sealed bag manufacturing apparatus, the heat seal bar must be replaced with a heat seal roller according to the shape of the bottle opening to be formed in the sealed bag.

ところが、瓶口シール部を有するヒートシールバーは比較的高価であり、これを瓶口部の形状ごとに用意するのはコストアップを招くという問題がある。密封袋の生産性を高めるため、ヒートシールバーは一本のヒートシールローラに対して複数本取り付けられるのが一般的である。このため、瓶口シール部を有するヒートシールバーの用意するべき本数は増大し、更なるコストアップを招くことになる。   However, a heat seal bar having a bottle mouth seal portion is relatively expensive, and preparing this for each shape of the bottle mouth portion has a problem of increasing the cost. In order to increase the productivity of the sealing bag, a plurality of heat seal bars are generally attached to one heat seal roller. For this reason, the number of heat seal bars to be prepared having a bottle opening seal portion increases, resulting in further cost increase.

また、ヒートシールバーの本数が増大すると、それらを保管するための大きなスペースも必要とするという問題がある。   Further, when the number of heat seal bars increases, there is a problem that a large space for storing them is required.

従って、本発明はこのような問題点を解消することができる密封袋の製造装置を提供することを目的とする。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a sealed bag manufacturing apparatus capable of solving such problems.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明は次のような構成を採用する。   In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following configuration.

すなわち、請求項1に係る発明は、フィルム状包材(9)の重畳体(9b)を長さ方向に送りながら、同方向に伸びる縦ヒートシール部(10,11)で閉じて筒状にする縦ヒートシール手段(25)と、この重畳体(9b)に先行横ヒートシール部(26)を設けて有底袋部(9c)を形成し、この有底袋部(9c)内に充填された流動体(A)を分断するように後続横ヒートシール部(26)を設けて密封袋(7,2,4,5)を形成する横ヒートシール手段と、上記有底袋部(9c)内に流動体(A)を充填する充填手段(28)とを包含してなる密封袋の製造装置において、上記横ヒートシール手段は、外周に着脱自在に固定されたヒートシールバー(27a)で上記重畳体(9b)を挟む少なくとも一対のローラ(27)を有し、上記各ヒートシールバー(27a)の二辺には、密封袋(7,2,4,5)に互いに異なる形状の瓶口部(1,3)を形成する瓶口シール部(1a,3a)がヒートシールバー(27a)のシール面上で約180度位相がずれるように設けられ、上記各ヒートシールバー(27a)が180度回されて上記ローラ(27)に固定されると、一方の瓶口シール部(1a又は3a)が上記重畳体(9b)に接触可能となり、他方の瓶口シール部(3a又は1a)が上記重畳体(9b)に接触不能となるようにしたことを特徴とする密封袋の製造装置である。   That is, the invention according to claim 1 is a cylindrical shape that is closed by the longitudinal heat seal portions (10, 11) extending in the same direction while feeding the superposed body (9b) of the film-like packaging material (9) in the length direction. The vertical heat sealing means (25) for performing this operation and the superposed body (9b) are provided with a preceding horizontal heat sealing portion (26) to form a bottomed bag portion (9c), and the bottomed bag portion (9c) is filled. Horizontal heat sealing means for forming a sealed bag (7, 2, 4, 5) by providing a subsequent horizontal heat seal portion (26) so as to divide the fluid (A) formed, and the bottomed bag portion (9c) ) In the sealed bag manufacturing apparatus including the filling means (28) for filling the fluid (A) in the heat sealing bar (27a) which is detachably fixed to the outer periphery. And having at least a pair of rollers (27) sandwiching the superimposed body (9b), On the two sides of each heat seal bar (27a), there is a bottle mouth sealing portion (1a, 3a) for forming a different mouth shape (1, 3) in the sealing bag (7, 2, 4, 5). Is provided on the sealing surface of the heat seal bar (27a) so that the phase is shifted by about 180 degrees, and when each heat seal bar (27a) is rotated 180 degrees and fixed to the roller (27), The bottle mouth seal portion (1a or 3a) can be brought into contact with the superimposed body (9b), and the other bottle mouth seal portion (3a or 1a) cannot be brought into contact with the superimposed body (9b). It is the manufacturing apparatus of the sealing bag.

また、請求項2に記載されるように、請求項1に記載の密封袋の製造装置において、ヒートシールバー(27a)の二辺にそれぞれ形成される瓶口シール部(1a,3a)が、互いに重畳体(9b)の幅分よりも大きく引き離されているものとすることができる。   Moreover, as described in claim 2, in the sealed bag manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1, the bottle mouth seal portions (1a, 3a) respectively formed on the two sides of the heat seal bar (27a), It can be assumed that they are separated from each other by more than the width of the superimposed body (9b).

請求項1に係る発明によれば、フィルム状包材(9)の重畳体(9b)を長さ方向に送りながら、同方向に伸びる縦ヒートシール部(10,11)で閉じて筒状にする縦ヒートシール手段(25)と、この重畳体(9b)に先行横ヒートシール部(26)を設けて有底袋部(9c)を形成し、この有底袋部(9c)内に充填された流動体(A)を分断するように後続横ヒートシール部(26)を設けて密封袋(7,2,4,5)を形成する横ヒートシール手段と、上記有底袋部(9c)内に流動体(A)を充填する充填手段(28)とを包含してなる密封袋の製造装置において、上記横ヒートシール手段は、外周に着脱自在に固定されたヒートシールバー(27a)で上記重畳体(9b)を挟む少なくとも一対のローラ(27)を有し、上記各ヒートシールバー(27a)の二辺には、密封袋(7,2,4,5)に互いに異なる形状の瓶口部(1,3)を形成する瓶口シール部(1a,3a)がヒートシールバー(27a)のシール面上で約180度位相がずれるように設けられ、上記各ヒートシールバー(27a)が180度回されて上記ローラ(27)に固定されると、一方の瓶口シール部(1a又は3a)が上記重畳体(9b)に接触可能となり、他方の瓶口シール部(3a又は1a)が上記重畳体(9b)に接触不能となるようにしたものであり、一本のヒートシールバー(27a)が二種類の瓶口シール部(1a,3a)を担持し、各ヒートシールバー(27a)をヒートシール面に平行に約180度回して瓶口シール部(1a,3a)のローラ(27)上での位置を変更することにより、所望の瓶口シール部(1a又は3a)により瓶口部(1又は3)を形成することができる。したがって、それだけ用意するべきヒートシールバーの本数が低減し、ヒートシールバーの保管スペースも低減可能になる。また、使用頻度の高い瓶口シール部を一つのヒートシールバーに形成しておくことにより、瓶口シール部の変更につきヒートシールバーの向きを変えることで対処することができ、従って速やかに密封袋の製造に着手することができ、密封袋の製造効率の向上に資することができる。   According to the invention which concerns on Claim 1, it closes with the vertical heat seal part (10, 11) extended in the same direction, sending the superposition body (9b) of a film-form packaging material (9) to a length direction, and is cylindrical. The vertical heat sealing means (25) for performing this operation and the superposed body (9b) are provided with a preceding horizontal heat sealing portion (26) to form a bottomed bag portion (9c), and the bottomed bag portion (9c) is filled. Horizontal heat sealing means for forming a sealed bag (7, 2, 4, 5) by providing a subsequent horizontal heat seal portion (26) so as to divide the fluid (A) formed, and the bottomed bag portion (9c) ) In the sealed bag manufacturing apparatus including the filling means (28) for filling the fluid (A) in the heat sealing bar (27a) which is detachably fixed to the outer periphery. At least a pair of rollers (27) sandwiching the superposed body (9b), On the two sides of the heat seal bar (27a), there are bottle mouth seal portions (1a, 3a) that form bottle mouth portions (1, 3) of different shapes on the sealing bags (7, 2, 4, 5). When the heat seal bar (27a) is rotated 180 degrees and fixed to the roller (27), it is provided so that the phase is shifted by about 180 degrees on the seal surface of the seal bar (27a). The seal part (1a or 3a) can be brought into contact with the superposed body (9b), and the other bottle mouth seal part (3a or 1a) is made inaccessible to the superposed body (9b). The two heat seal bars (27a) carry two types of bottle seal parts (1a, 3a), and each heat seal bar (27a) is rotated approximately 180 degrees in parallel to the heat seal surface to turn the bottle seal part (1a , 3a) on the roller (27) By, it is possible to form the bottle mouth portion (1 or 3) optionally a bottle mouth seal portion (1a or 3a). Therefore, the number of heat seal bars to be prepared is reduced, and the storage space for the heat seal bars can be reduced. In addition, by forming the bottle seal part frequently used in one heat seal bar, it is possible to cope with the change of the bottle seal part by changing the direction of the heat seal bar, so that it seals quickly. Production of the bag can be started, which can contribute to improvement of the production efficiency of the sealed bag.

請求項2に記載されるように、請求項1に記載の密封袋の製造装置において、ヒートシールバー(27a)の二辺にそれぞれ形成される瓶口シール部(1a,3a)が、互いに重畳体(9b)の幅分よりも大きく引き離されているものとすると、ヒートシールバー(27a)をその長さ方向にずらせることにより、所望の瓶口シール部(1a又は3a)を重畳体(9b)に対峙させ、不要な瓶口シール部(3a又は1a)を重畳体(9b)から外すことができる。   As described in claim 2, in the sealed bag manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1, the bottle mouth seal portions (1a, 3a) respectively formed on the two sides of the heat seal bar (27a) overlap each other. Assuming that the body (9b) is separated more than the width of the body (9b), the desired bottle mouth seal (1a or 3a) is superimposed on the superimposed body (1a or 3a) by shifting the heat seal bar (27a) in the length direction. 9b), the unnecessary bottle mouth seal (3a or 1a) can be removed from the superposed body (9b).

次に、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。   Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

最初に、この密封袋の製造装置により製造される密封袋について図1(A)(B)(C)に基づき説明する。   First, a sealed bag manufactured by this sealed bag manufacturing apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (A), (B), and (C).

この密封袋7は、一辺に折り返し部が生じるようにフィルム状包材9(図2参照)を二つ折りすることにより形成される。フィルム状包材9が二つ折りで扁平に折り畳まれ、この折り畳まれた重畳体9bの開放縁を含む全周縁が縦横のヒートシール部10,11,12,13で閉じられることにより密封袋7とされる。密封袋7内には重畳体9bの一辺の開放縁が開放された状態にあるときに、そこから内容物であるスープ等の流動体Aが充填される。その後この開放縁がヒートシールされることにより密封袋7が完成する。   The sealing bag 7 is formed by folding the film-shaped packaging material 9 (see FIG. 2) in half so that a folded portion is formed on one side. The film-shaped packaging material 9 is folded in two in a flat shape, and the entire periphery including the open edge of the folded superposed body 9b is closed by the vertical and horizontal heat seal portions 10, 11, 12, 13 to form the sealed bag 7 Is done. When the open edge of one side of the superimposed body 9b is opened in the sealing bag 7, a fluid A such as soup as a content is filled there. Thereafter, this open edge is heat-sealed to complete the sealed bag 7.

また、この密封袋7の一辺のヒートシール部12には、瓶口部1が形成される。瓶口部1はヒートシール部12に形成される瓶口状の非ヒートシール部である。図1(A)中、一点鎖線で示す破断線aに沿って袋壁が引き裂かれることにより、中味の流動体Aを注出しやすくするための瓶口が密封袋7の角部に形成される。   Further, a bottle mouth portion 1 is formed in the heat seal portion 12 on one side of the sealing bag 7. The bottle mouth portion 1 is a bottle mouth-shaped non-heat seal portion formed in the heat seal portion 12. In FIG. 1 (A), the bag wall is torn along the broken line a indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, whereby a bottle mouth for facilitating pouring the fluid A is formed at the corner of the sealed bag 7. .

この密封袋の製造装置によれば、図5に示すような密封袋2を製造することもできる。この密封袋2では、瓶口部3が上記密封袋7のものと相違し円弧状に形成されている。この場合も図5(A)中、一点鎖線で示す破断線aに沿って袋壁が引き裂かれることにより、中味の流動体Aを注出しやすくするための瓶口が密封袋2の角部に形成される。   According to this sealing bag manufacturing apparatus, the sealing bag 2 as shown in FIG. 5 can also be manufactured. In the sealed bag 2, the bottle opening 3 is different from that of the sealed bag 7 and is formed in an arc shape. Also in this case, in FIG. 5 (A), the bag wall is torn along the broken line a indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, so that the bottle mouth for facilitating the pouring of the fluid A is formed at the corner of the sealed bag 2. It is formed.

なお、フィルム状包材9としては過酸化水素等の殺菌剤により殺菌されたものを用いることができる。このような殺菌されたフィルム状包材9を使用することにより、密封袋7の内部の無菌性を簡易に維持することができる。また、フィルム状包材9としては一枚物を折り返すのではなく、当初から分離した二条のものを重ね合わせるようにしてもよい。   In addition, as the film-shaped packaging material 9, what was sterilized with disinfectants, such as hydrogen peroxide, can be used. By using such a sterilized film-shaped packaging material 9, the sterility of the inside of the sealing bag 7 can be easily maintained. Further, as the film-shaped packaging material 9, two strips separated from the beginning may be overlapped instead of folding one sheet.

次に、上記密封袋を製造する装置について説明する。   Next, an apparatus for producing the sealed bag will be described.

図2に示すように、密封袋製造装置は、フィルム状包材の殺菌部14と、製袋部15とを具備する。   As shown in FIG. 2, the sealed bag manufacturing apparatus includes a film-like packaging material sterilization unit 14 and a bag making unit 15.

殺菌部14では、フィルム状包材9の巻取りロール9aから繰り出されるフィルム状包材9の走行路に沿って、その上流側から下流側へと、ヒータ17、殺菌剤吐出ノズル18、ミスト排気ダクト19、温風ノズル20、冷風ノズル21等が順に配置される。この実施の形態では、フィルム状包材9は下から上へと垂直に走行するようになっており、そのためヒータ17から冷風ノズル21に至る部分も垂直方向に配列される。巻取りロール9aとヒータ17との間には、フィルム状包材9の通過する開口を有した隔壁16が必要に応じて設けられる。また、ミスト排気ダクト19と温風ノズル20との間にも、フィルム状包材9の通過する開口を有した隔壁22が設けられる。各隔壁16,22の開口は図示しないシャッターによりそれぞれ開閉可能である。   In the sterilization section 14, along the traveling path of the film-shaped packaging material 9 fed out from the winding roll 9a of the film-shaped packaging material 9, from the upstream side to the downstream side, the heater 17, the sterilizing agent discharge nozzle 18, the mist exhaust A duct 19, a hot air nozzle 20, a cold air nozzle 21 and the like are arranged in this order. In this embodiment, the film-shaped wrapping material 9 travels vertically from bottom to top, so that the portion from the heater 17 to the cold air nozzle 21 is also arranged in the vertical direction. A partition wall 16 having an opening through which the film-shaped packaging material 9 passes is provided between the winding roll 9a and the heater 17 as necessary. A partition wall 22 having an opening through which the film-shaped packaging material 9 passes is also provided between the mist exhaust duct 19 and the hot air nozzle 20. The openings of the partition walls 16 and 22 can be opened and closed by a shutter (not shown).

巻取りロール9aから繰り出されたフィルム状包材9は、各種ローラ23を経てヒータ17に至り予備加熱される。予備加熱の熱により後の殺菌剤によるフィルム状包材9の殺菌効果が高められる。予備加熱されたフィルム状包材9は、殺菌剤吐出ノズル18から殺菌剤としての過酸化水素水のミストを吹き付けられる。このミストは、過酸化水素の水溶液を噴霧し、沸点以上に加熱して気化させ、微細な粒子に凝縮させることにより生成される。殺菌剤は過酸化水素に限らず、殺菌作用を有する各種の薬液が使用可能である。ミストが吹き掛けられることにより、フィルム状包材9の表面が殺菌される。ミストの余剰分は、ミスト排気ダクト19から回収される。殺菌されたフィルム状包材9は、隔壁22を通過して温風ノズル20から温風を吹き付けられ、その熱により表面に付着した殺菌剤が気化され除去される。殺菌剤を除去されたフィルム状包材9は冷風ノズル21から冷風を吹き付けられ、これにより殺菌剤の除去が促進される。   The film-shaped packaging material 9 fed out from the winding roll 9 a reaches the heater 17 through various rollers 23 and is preheated. The sterilizing effect of the film-shaped packaging material 9 by the later sterilizing agent is enhanced by the heat of the preheating. The preheated film-shaped packaging material 9 is sprayed with a mist of hydrogen peroxide water as a sterilizing agent from the sterilizing agent discharge nozzle 18. This mist is generated by spraying an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, heating it to the boiling point or higher, vaporizing it, and condensing it into fine particles. The bactericidal agent is not limited to hydrogen peroxide, and various chemicals having a bactericidal action can be used. By spraying mist, the surface of the film-shaped packaging material 9 is sterilized. The surplus mist is recovered from the mist exhaust duct 19. The sterilized film-like packaging material 9 passes through the partition wall 22 and is blown with hot air from the hot air nozzle 20, and the sterilizing agent attached to the surface is vaporized and removed by the heat. The film-like packaging material 9 from which the disinfectant is removed is blown with cool air from the cool air nozzle 21, thereby promoting the removal of the disinfectant.

殺菌部14で殺菌されたフィルム状包材9は、各種ローラ24を経て次の製袋部15へと送られ、流動体Aの包装に供される。   The film-shaped packaging material 9 sterilized by the sterilization unit 14 is sent to the next bag making unit 15 through various rollers 24 and supplied to the packaging of the fluid A.

なお、フィルム状包材9の殺菌処理が不要である場合は、殺菌部14を省略し、巻取りロール9aから製袋部15へとフィルム状包材9を直に送ることも可能である。   In addition, when the sterilization process of the film packaging material 9 is unnecessary, it is also possible to omit the sterilization part 14 and to send the film packaging material 9 directly from the winding roll 9a to the bag making part 15.

図3及び図4に示すように、製袋部15は、上記殺菌部14から送られて来るフィルム状包材9を長さ方向に送りながら同方向に平行な中心線上で折り返して重畳体9bとする折り返し機構と、この重畳体9bを同方向に送りながら、同方向に伸びる縦ヒートシール部10,11で閉じて筒状にする縦ヒートシール手段としてのヒートシール車25と、この筒状になった重畳体9bに先行横ヒートシール部26を設けて有底袋部9cを形成し、この有底袋部9c内の流動体Aを分断するように後続横ヒートシール部26を設けて密封袋7を形成する横ヒートシール手段としてのヒートシールローラ27と、有底袋部9c内に流動体Aを充填する充填手段としての充填ノズル28とを含んでいる。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bag-making unit 15 wraps the film-shaped packaging material 9 sent from the sterilizing unit 14 in the length direction and folds it on a center line parallel to the same direction, thereby overlapping the body 9 b. A folding mechanism, and a heat seal wheel 25 as a vertical heat seal means that is closed and closed by vertical heat seal portions 10 and 11 extending in the same direction while feeding the overlapping body 9b in the same direction, and the cylindrical shape The preceding horizontal heat seal portion 26 is provided on the superposed body 9b to form the bottomed bag portion 9c, and the subsequent horizontal heat seal portion 26 is provided so as to divide the fluid A in the bottomed bag portion 9c. A heat seal roller 27 as a transverse heat seal means for forming the sealed bag 7 and a filling nozzle 28 as a filling means for filling the fluid A into the bottomed bag portion 9c are included.

製袋部15では、フィルム状包材9が上から下へと垂直に送られるようになっており、このフィルム状包材9の走行路に沿って上流側から下流側へと、折り返し機構、ヒートシール車25、充填ノズル28、ヒートシールローラ27等が順に配置される。   In the bag-making part 15, the film-shaped packaging material 9 is sent vertically from top to bottom, and the folding mechanism from the upstream side to the downstream side along the traveling path of the film-shaped packaging material 9; A heat seal wheel 25, a filling nozzle 28, a heat seal roller 27, and the like are arranged in this order.

折り返し機構は、殺菌部14から来るフィルム状包材9の走行方向を下方に変更するガイドローラ29と、ガイドローラ29を経て来るフィルム状包材9の中心線上に折り目を付けながら折り返すガイド棒30とを具備する。   The folding mechanism includes a guide roller 29 that changes the traveling direction of the film-shaped packaging material 9 coming from the sterilizing unit 14 downward, and a guide rod 30 that folds the film-shaped packaging material 9 that passes through the guide roller 29 while folding the center line. It comprises.

ヒートシール車25は二対用意され、重畳体9bの両側縁を表裏から挟むように対向配置される。各ヒートシール車25には、図示しない電気ヒータが組み込まれ、重畳体9bに接する箇所が加熱されるようになっている。   Two pairs of heat seal wheels 25 are prepared, and are opposed to each other so as to sandwich both side edges of the superimposed body 9b from the front and back. Each heat seal wheel 25 is incorporated with an electric heater (not shown) so that a portion in contact with the superimposed body 9b is heated.

ヒートシールローラ27は一対用意され、重畳体9bを表裏から挟むように対向配置される。この一対のヒートシールローラ27はそれぞれ回転軸27bに固定され、上記ヒートシール車25よりも下流側において重畳体9bを表裏から挟みつつ回転する。   A pair of heat seal rollers 27 are prepared and arranged to face each other so as to sandwich the superimposed body 9b from the front and back. Each of the pair of heat seal rollers 27 is fixed to the rotary shaft 27b, and rotates while sandwiching the superimposed body 9b from the front and back sides on the downstream side of the heat seal wheel 25.

各ヒートシールローラ27の表面には、横ヒートシール部26を重畳体9bの長さ方向に繰り返し形成するべく、ヒートシールバー27aが回転軸27bと平行に固定される。ヒートシールバー27aは密封袋7の長さに応じて各ヒートシールローラ27の表面に回転軸27bと平行に一本又は複数本固定される。各ヒートシールローラ27には、図示しない電気ヒータが組み込まれ、各ヒートシールバー27aが加熱されるようになっている。また、ヒートシールバー27aは各ヒートシールローラ27の表面に固定ネジ等により着脱可能に固定され、密封袋7の幅等に応じて各種用意された長さの異なるものと適宜交換可能である。   On the surface of each heat seal roller 27, a heat seal bar 27a is fixed in parallel with the rotary shaft 27b so as to repeatedly form the transverse heat seal portion 26 in the length direction of the superimposed body 9b. One or a plurality of heat seal bars 27 a are fixed to the surface of each heat seal roller 27 in parallel with the rotation shaft 27 b according to the length of the sealing bag 7. Each heat seal roller 27 incorporates an electric heater (not shown) so that each heat seal bar 27a is heated. Further, the heat seal bar 27a is detachably fixed to the surface of each heat seal roller 27 with a fixing screw or the like, and can be appropriately replaced with various prepared lengths depending on the width of the sealing bag 7 and the like.

ヒートシールローラ27が駆動され、図4中矢印方向に回転することにより、重畳体9bには横ヒートシール部26が一密封袋7分のピッチごとに繰り返し形成される。ヒートシールローラ27は横ヒートシール部26を形成するときにだけ重畳体9bの走行速度と同期して回転し、重畳体9bを横切るように横ヒートシール部26を形成する。   When the heat seal roller 27 is driven and rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4, the horizontal heat seal portion 26 is repeatedly formed on the superimposed body 9 b at every pitch of one sealed bag 7. The heat seal roller 27 rotates in synchronization with the traveling speed of the superimposed body 9b only when forming the horizontal heat seal portion 26, and forms the horizontal heat seal portion 26 so as to cross the superimposed body 9b.

図3及び図7に示すように、上記ヒートシールローラ27に取り付けられる各ヒートシールバー27aの二辺には、密封袋7に互いに異なる形状の瓶口部1,3を形成する瓶口シール部1a,3aがヒートシールバー27aのシール面上で約180度位相がずれるように設けられる。一方の瓶口シール部1aは図1(A)に示した密封袋7の瓶口部1に対応し、他方の瓶口シール部3aは図5に示した密封袋2の瓶口部3に対応する。瓶口シール部1a,3aは、各瓶口部1,3に合致する部分が各ヒートシールバー27aから切除されることにより形成される。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, a bottle mouth seal portion that forms bottle mouth portions 1, 3 having different shapes on the sealing bag 7 is provided on two sides of each heat seal bar 27 a attached to the heat seal roller 27. 1a and 3a are provided so that the phase is shifted by about 180 degrees on the sealing surface of the heat seal bar 27a. One bottle mouth seal portion 1a corresponds to the bottle mouth portion 1 of the sealed bag 7 shown in FIG. 1A, and the other bottle mouth seal portion 3a is connected to the bottle mouth portion 3 of the sealed bag 2 shown in FIG. Correspond. The bottle seal portions 1a and 3a are formed by cutting out portions corresponding to the bottle mouth portions 1 and 3 from the respective heat seal bars 27a.

また、ヒートシールバー27aの二辺にそれぞれ形成される瓶口シール部1a,3aは、互いに重畳体9bの幅分よりも大きく引き離されている。これにより、図3に示すように、ヒートシールバー27aをその長さ方向にずらせることによって、所望の瓶口シール部1aを重畳体9bに対峙させ、不要な瓶口シール部3aを重畳体9bから外すことができる。   Moreover, the bottle seal parts 1a and 3a respectively formed on the two sides of the heat seal bar 27a are separated from each other by a larger amount than the width of the superimposed body 9b. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the desired bottle mouth seal portion 1a is opposed to the superimposed body 9b by shifting the heat seal bar 27a in the length direction, and the unnecessary bottle mouth seal portion 3a is superimposed on the superimposed body. 9b can be removed.

この各ヒートシールバー27aがヒートシールバー27aのシール面に平行に180度回されて各ヒートシールローラ27に固定されると、図3に示すように、一方の瓶口シール部1aが重畳体9bに接触可能となり、他方の瓶口シール部3aが重畳体9bに接触不能となる。これにより、密封袋7には図1(A)に示すような瓶口部1が形成される。   When each heat seal bar 27a is rotated 180 degrees parallel to the seal surface of the heat seal bar 27a and fixed to each heat seal roller 27, as shown in FIG. 9b can be contacted, and the other bottle mouth seal portion 3a cannot contact the superimposed body 9b. As a result, the bottle mouth portion 1 as shown in FIG.

また、各ヒートシールバー27aがヒートシールバー27aのシール面に平行に更に180度回されるか、逆向きに180度回されたうえで、各ヒートシールローラ27に固定されると、図6に示すように、他方の瓶口シール部3aが重畳体9bに接触可能となり、一方の瓶口シール部1aが重畳体9bに接触不能となる。これにより、密封袋2に図5に示すような瓶口部3が形成される。   Further, when each heat seal bar 27a is further rotated 180 degrees parallel to the seal surface of the heat seal bar 27a or rotated 180 degrees in the opposite direction and then fixed to each heat seal roller 27, FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the other bottle mouth seal portion 3a can come into contact with the superimposed body 9b, and the one bottle mouth seal portion 1a cannot come into contact with the superimposed body 9b. Thereby, the bottle mouth part 3 as shown in FIG.

なお、上記二種類の瓶口部1,3以外の形状で瓶口部を形成する場合は、上記二種類の瓶口部と異なる二種類の瓶口部を形成するための二種類の瓶口シール部が形成されたヒートシールバーを用意し、このヒートシールバーを前回の密封袋7,2の製造に使用したヒートシールバー27aと付け替えるものとする。   In addition, when forming a bottle mouth part in shapes other than the two said bottle mouth parts 1 and 3, two kinds of bottle mouths for forming two kinds of bottle mouth parts different from the above two kinds of bottle mouth parts A heat seal bar on which a seal portion is formed is prepared, and this heat seal bar is replaced with the heat seal bar 27a used in the previous manufacturing of the sealing bags 7 and 2.

図3、図4及び図6に示すように、充填ノズル28は、ヒートシールローラ27の上流側において形成される重畳体9bの有底袋部9cの底に向かって配置される。流動体Aを流す導管28aがヒートシール車25の上流側から重畳体9b内へと重畳体9bの合わせ目から入り込み、左右のヒートシール車25,25間を通ってヒートシールローラ27,27間へと伸び、その先端に充填ノズル28が設けられる。ヒートシールローラ27による先行横ヒートシール部26の形成によって生じる有底袋部9c内に向かって、充填ノズル28から流動体Aが一定流量で常時吐出される。この流動体Aの吐出量は、重畳体9bの走行速度に応じてポンプ(図示せず)の回転数が加減されることにより調整可能である。   As shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, the filling nozzle 28 is arranged toward the bottom of the bottomed bag portion 9 c of the superimposed body 9 b formed on the upstream side of the heat seal roller 27. A conduit 28a for flowing the fluid A enters the superposed body 9b from the upstream side of the heat seal wheel 25 through the joint of the superposed body 9b, passes between the left and right heat seal wheels 25, 25, and between the heat seal rollers 27, 27. And a filling nozzle 28 is provided at its tip. The fluid A is constantly discharged from the filling nozzle 28 at a constant flow rate into the bottomed bag portion 9c generated by the formation of the preceding horizontal heat seal portion 26 by the heat seal roller 27. The discharge amount of the fluid A can be adjusted by adjusting the number of rotations of a pump (not shown) according to the traveling speed of the superimposed body 9b.

なお、ヒートシールローラ27の下流側に更に他の一対のヒートシールローラを設け、このヒートシールローラにより横ヒートシール部26を重複してヒートシールしてもよい。ただし、このヒートシールは瓶口部1,3をシールしないように行う必要がある。   Further, another pair of heat seal rollers may be provided on the downstream side of the heat seal roller 27, and the horizontal heat seal portion 26 may be overlapped and heat sealed by this heat seal roller. However, it is necessary to perform this heat sealing so as not to seal the bottle mouth portions 1 and 3.

図2乃至図4に示すように、ヒートシールローラ27よりも下流側には、密封袋7の切り離し手段であるロータリカッター35が設置される。   As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a rotary cutter 35, which is a means for separating the sealing bag 7, is installed on the downstream side of the heat seal roller 27.

ロータリカッター35は回転刃35aとこの回転刃35aに対向する固定刃35bとを有する。回転刃35aは固定刃35bとの間で重畳体9bを挟み込む剪断作用により、重畳体9bから密封袋7を横ヒートシール部26の上で切り離すようになっている。ロータリカッター35の回転刃35aは重畳体9bから密封袋7を横ヒートシール部26の上で切り離す時点でのみ回転する。   The rotary cutter 35 has a rotary blade 35a and a fixed blade 35b facing the rotary blade 35a. The rotary blade 35a separates the sealing bag 7 from the superposed body 9b on the horizontal heat seal portion 26 by a shearing action that sandwiches the superposed body 9b with the fixed blade 35b. The rotary blade 35a of the rotary cutter 35 rotates only when the sealing bag 7 is separated from the superposed body 9b on the horizontal heat seal portion 26.

もちろん、回転刃35aは重畳体9bの走行と同期的に連続回転させて重畳体9bから密封袋7を横ヒートシール部26の上で切り離すようにしてもよい。また、このロータリカッター35に代えて例えばギロチン式の切断機を設けることも可能である。この切断機は重畳体9bが密封袋7のピッチごとに間欠送りされる場合に適する。   Of course, the rotary blade 35a may be continuously rotated synchronously with the traveling of the superimposed body 9b to separate the sealing bag 7 from the superimposed body 9b on the lateral heat seal portion 26. Further, for example, a guillotine type cutting machine can be provided in place of the rotary cutter 35. This cutting machine is suitable when the superposed body 9b is intermittently fed for each pitch of the sealing bag 7.

図2に示すように、ロータリカッター35よりも下流側は隔壁37で閉じられ、この隔壁37には密封袋7の通り道に対応する開口と、この開口を開閉する図示しないシャッターとが設けられる。   As shown in FIG. 2, the downstream side of the rotary cutter 35 is closed by a partition wall 37, and the partition wall 37 is provided with an opening corresponding to the passage of the sealing bag 7 and a shutter (not shown) for opening and closing the opening.

また、図2に示すように、フィルム状包材9が殺菌部14の隔壁22の位置から製袋部15のロータリカッター35に至り密封袋7とされるまでの経路、すなわち図2中砂目部分は、無菌室38で囲まれている。無菌室38内は、無菌エアが常時吹き込まれることにより陽圧に維持され、外部からの菌類の侵入が阻まれる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the path from the position of the partition wall 22 of the sterilization unit 14 to the rotary cutter 35 of the bag making unit 15 to be the sealed bag 7 as shown in FIG. The part is enclosed in a sterile chamber 38. The inside of the sterilization chamber 38 is maintained at a positive pressure by being constantly blown with sterilized air, and the entry of fungi from the outside is prevented.

次に、上記密封袋製造装置を使用した密封袋の製造工程について説明する。   Next, the manufacturing process of the sealing bag using the said sealing bag manufacturing apparatus is demonstrated.

(1)流動体Aの包装開始に先立ち、図2に示す無菌室38内の滅菌処理が行われる。この滅菌処理時には、各隔壁22,37の開口がシャッターにより閉じられ無菌室38内が密閉され、例えば過酸化水素のミストが無菌室38内に導入される。 (1) Prior to the start of packaging of the fluid A, the sterilization process in the sterilization chamber 38 shown in FIG. 2 is performed. During this sterilization process, the openings of the partition walls 22 and 37 are closed by shutters to seal the inside of the sterilization chamber 38. For example, hydrogen peroxide mist is introduced into the sterilization chamber 38.

滅菌処理後、無菌室38内は無菌エアが常時供給されることにより陽圧に保持され、滅菌状態が維持される。また、シャッターが開かれ、そこから無菌エアが無菌室38外に吹き出る。   After the sterilization process, the inside of the sterilization chamber 38 is maintained at a positive pressure by constantly supplying sterile air, and the sterilized state is maintained. Further, the shutter is opened, and aseptic air blows out of the aseptic chamber 38 from there.

殺菌部14から製袋部15へと伸びる図示しない無端ベルト或いは人手により、フィルム状包材9が巻取りロール9aから繰り出され、その先端が殺菌部14を通って製袋部15へと送られる。これにより、フィルム状包材9のセッティングが完了する。   The film-shaped packaging material 9 is unwound from the take-up roll 9a by an endless belt (not shown) or manually extending from the sterilization unit 14 to the bag making unit 15, and the leading end thereof is sent to the bag making unit 15 through the sterilization unit 14. . Thereby, the setting of the film-shaped packaging material 9 is completed.

(2)流動体Aの包装が開始されると、巻取りロール9aから繰り出されるフィルム状包材9は各種ローラ23を経て隔壁16の開口を通過し、ヒータ17により予備加熱され、殺菌剤吐出ノズル18から例えば過酸化水素のミストを吹き掛けられる。殺菌剤吐出ノズル18から吐出される過酸化水素のミストの余剰分はミスト排気ダクト19により吸引除去される。過酸化水素のミストにより殺菌されたフィルム状包材9は、次の隔壁22の開口を通って無菌室38内に入り、温風ノズル20及び冷風ノズル21から温風と冷風を順次吹き付けられ過酸化水素を除去される。この乾燥処理されたフィルム状包材9は各種ローラ24を経て製袋部15に導入される。以後、フィルム状包材9は密封袋7とされるまで無菌の雰囲気下において加工される。 (2) When packaging of the fluid A is started, the film-shaped packaging material 9 fed out from the take-up roll 9a passes through various rollers 23, passes through the opening of the partition wall 16, is preheated by the heater 17, and discharges the disinfectant. For example, a mist of hydrogen peroxide is sprayed from the nozzle 18. The excess mist of hydrogen peroxide discharged from the sterilizing agent discharge nozzle 18 is sucked and removed by the mist exhaust duct 19. The film-like packaging material 9 sterilized by the hydrogen peroxide mist passes through the opening of the next partition wall 22 and enters the aseptic chamber 38, and hot air and cold air are sequentially blown from the hot air nozzle 20 and the cold air nozzle 21. Hydrogen oxide is removed. The dried film-shaped packaging material 9 is introduced into the bag making unit 15 through various rollers 24. Thereafter, the film-shaped packaging material 9 is processed in an aseptic atmosphere until the sealed packaging 7 is obtained.

(3)図3及び図4に示すように、製袋部15内では、フィルム状包材9は長さ方向に送られながらガイド棒30により同方向に平行な線上で折り返され二つ折りの重畳体9bとされる。 (3) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the bag making section 15, the film-like packaging material 9 is folded back on a line parallel to the same direction by the guide rod 30 while being sent in the length direction, and is folded in two. It is set as the body 9b.

この二本の縦ヒートシール部10,11は、重畳体9bの両側縁が表裏からヒートシール車25に挟まれることにより形成される。ヒートシール車25は図4中矢印方向に連続回転し、重畳体9bはヒートシール車25,25間を連続走行することにより両側に連続的に縦ヒートシール部10,11が形成される。もちろん、ヒートシール車25に代えて板状のヒートシール盤を用いることも可能である。その場合は、縦ヒートシール部10,11を間欠的に形成するので、重畳体9bもヒートシール盤間を間欠走行することになる。   The two vertical heat seal portions 10 and 11 are formed by sandwiching both side edges of the superimposed body 9b from the front and back of the heat seal wheel 25. The heat seal wheel 25 continuously rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4, and the superimposed body 9b continuously travels between the heat seal wheels 25 and 25, whereby the vertical heat seal portions 10 and 11 are continuously formed on both sides. Of course, it is also possible to use a plate-like heat seal board instead of the heat seal wheel 25. In that case, since the vertical heat seal portions 10 and 11 are formed intermittently, the superimposed body 9b also runs intermittently between the heat seal boards.

(5)両側が縦ヒートシール部10,11で閉じられた重畳体9bは、その長さ方向に交差する方向に伸びる横ヒートシール部26により下流側で閉じられる。横ヒートシール部26は図1(A)に示す上下の横ヒートシール部12,13が重畳体9bの長さ方向に連なった形状及び大きさに形成される。 (5) The superposed body 9b whose both sides are closed by the vertical heat seal portions 10 and 11 is closed on the downstream side by a horizontal heat seal portion 26 extending in a direction intersecting the length direction. The horizontal heat seal part 26 is formed in a shape and size in which the upper and lower horizontal heat seal parts 12 and 13 shown in FIG. 1A are continuous in the length direction of the superposed body 9b.

この横ヒートシール部26は、重畳体9bが表裏から一対のヒートシールローラ27,27に挟まれることにより形成される。一対のヒートシールローラ27,27はそれぞれ回転軸27bに固定され、上記ヒートシール車25よりも下流側において重畳体9bを表裏から挟むように対向配置される。   The horizontal heat seal portion 26 is formed by the superimposed body 9b being sandwiched between a pair of heat seal rollers 27, 27 from the front and back. The pair of heat seal rollers 27 and 27 are fixed to the rotary shaft 27b, respectively, and are arranged opposite to each other so as to sandwich the superimposed body 9b from the front and back sides on the downstream side of the heat seal wheel 25.

ヒートシールローラ27が駆動され図4中矢印方向に回転することにより、重畳体9bには横ヒートシール部26が形成される。   When the heat seal roller 27 is driven and rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4, the horizontal heat seal portion 26 is formed on the superimposed body 9 b.

ヒートシールローラ27,27は連続回転し、重畳体9bはヒートシールローラ27,27間を連続走行することにより一個の密封袋7における縦方向の長さごとに横ヒートシール部26で閉じられる。   The heat seal rollers 27 and 27 are continuously rotated, and the superimposed body 9b is closed by the horizontal heat seal portion 26 for each longitudinal length of the single sealing bag 7 by continuously running between the heat seal rollers 27 and 27.

各ヒートシールローラ27には、二種類の瓶口シール部1a,3aがシール面上で約180度位相がずれるように設けられたヒートシールバー27aが取り付けられ、一方の瓶口シール部1aが重畳体9bに接触可能となり、他方の瓶口シール部3aが重畳体9bに接触不能となるように固定されていることから、図1(A)に示すような瓶口部1が横ヒートシール部26に形成される。   Each heat seal roller 27 is attached with a heat seal bar 27a in which two types of bottle seal parts 1a and 3a are provided so that the phases are shifted by about 180 degrees on the seal surface. Since the other bottle mouth seal portion 3a is fixed so as to be inaccessible to the superimposed body 9b, the bottle mouth portion 1 as shown in FIG. Formed in portion 26.

(6)筒状になった重畳体9bに先行横ヒートシール部26が設けられることにより形成される有底袋部9c内に、充填ノズル28から流動体Aが常時一定流量で連続的に流入する。流動体Aの流量は例えば重畳体9bの走行速度に応じて加減される。 (6) The fluid A continuously flows from the filling nozzle 28 at a constant flow rate into the bottomed bag portion 9c formed by providing the preceding horizontal heat seal portion 26 on the cylindrical superposed body 9b. To do. The flow rate of the fluid A is adjusted according to the traveling speed of the superimposed body 9b, for example.

(7)ヒートシール車25及びヒートシールローラ27の回転により、密封袋7が重畳体9bに連続的に形成される。図3及び図4に示すように、重畳体9bがロータリカッター35に到達すると、密封袋7が重畳体9bから横ヒートシール部26上でロータリカッター35により切り離され、完成品とされる。この密封袋7の重畳体9bからの切り離しは、上記製袋工程と切り離した他の場所で行うことも可能である。 (7) By the rotation of the heat seal wheel 25 and the heat seal roller 27, the sealing bag 7 is continuously formed on the superimposed body 9b. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the superimposed body 9 b reaches the rotary cutter 35, the sealing bag 7 is separated from the superimposed body 9 b by the rotary cutter 35 on the lateral heat seal portion 26 to be a finished product. The sealing bag 7 can be separated from the superposed body 9b at another place separated from the bag making process.

(8)図1(A)に示す密封袋の製造から図5に示す密封袋2の製造に切り替える場合は、各ヒートシールバー27aがヒートシールローラ27から外されたうえで、ヒートシール面に平行に180度回され、図6に示すように、他方の瓶口シール部3aが重畳体9bに接触可能となり、一方の瓶口シール部1aが重畳体9bに接触不能となるように、再びヒートシールローラ27に固定される。 (8) When switching from the production of the sealed bag shown in FIG. 1 (A) to the production of the sealed bag 2 shown in FIG. 5, each heat seal bar 27 a is removed from the heat seal roller 27 and then the heat seal surface is formed. It is rotated 180 degrees in parallel, and as shown in FIG. 6, the other bottle mouth seal part 3a can be brought into contact with the superimposed body 9b, and the one bottle mouth seal part 1a can be brought into contact with the superimposed body 9b again.
