Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This light cutting)'j: "A, lJ objects are not transferred to successive containers/-) stage ゛)1〆t, waiting (・(although not to be impudent, The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for bagging potato chips as a snack food in a vertical bagging machine that sequentially performs forming, filling, and sealing.

A bag filling machine that weighs and packs 7 pieces of stuff into bags at a speed of 0 to 100 bags per minute;
I'm there. In such a bagging apparatus 71, the bag forming and loading machine is adapted to form a continuous tube of packaging material into billow-type bags, each holding seven items. The bag has one yellow directional seal on its top and bottom, and two squares are formed between the sides.

There are several problems with loading and unloading bags.

Especially when it comes to potato size, temperature and moisture content.

This difference cannot be completely eliminated in the production of Teto Chips, but does this mean that potato chips can be made quickly and quickly? i'1 CVcR1 resistance and bagging will be 1- in Japan. The typical target weight of the "lambda" material is

Roughly speaking, the size of potato chips is variable and their Jlj f, IF, is also not maintained.

However, a weighing machine capable of dispensing the potato chip charge into the bag at an even faster rate has already been added. - In seven machines like U.
A number of R411 strips, each with a weight less than the target weight, are made at the same time. These jx: J5(
The weights of i', q are recorded on the register, and the computer selects a particular combination of commercially viable strip charges so that the weight of the charges is approximately close to the target weight. For example, the contents of 3 ji'd' or j weighed dishes can be summed/combined from among the 10 loaded dishes. 53 It is important to note that the use of such machines improves the weight density of bag loads over densities that can be obtained by other methods, and also enables bag loading at increased speeds.

While the use of such a weighing machine can increase the speed, it cannot by itself solve the problem of varying fall times.

The inventors have manipulated the behavior of potato chips during their fall, resulting in a change in the falling time and an increase in the rate at which potato chips floated in the product flow path of a 11-part form-load-seal machine.

It will be appreciated that the present invention utilizes the Coanda effect to create a gas flow that does the useful job of increasing the loading rate of product from the feeder to the charge container, which can be done with high speed metering. be.

To enable a better understanding of the invention, reference is now made by way of example to the accompanying drawings, by which a person skilled in the art will understand the basic mechanical parts and the mode of operation of the machine. be able to.

Then, due to the shape of the nozzle 2B and the Coanda effect, air flows downward in the tube 27 after adhering to the wall of the passage 27, tL, which supplies a relatively large amount of air of 11ψ over the entire cross section of the passage 27, and further downwards. The flow is 1L. Due to the tight fit of the funnel λθ, a directional flow of air is directed into the z-channel 20, where the air is drawn towards its inlet port at the top edge of the funnel λθ. Ru.

This downward flow accelerates the loading of the 20 x J product into the funnel, so that the product is sent through the funnel in a faster and more controlled manner.

The annular gap, 2, is formed between the exit hole of ¥1-27 and the molded funnel λ・2, its 1 modulus μ, the air conveyor, 2

For this reason, even light 1.i products, such as escaping steam, do not transport the product with its air from the product stream.

The supply of the pulsating air flow is provided before each charge falls into the mouth of the air conveyor 230, tl, and is stopped when the charge has passed therethrough. This action increases the falling speed of the charges, such as the bod and debris, and also keeps them in small chunks throughout their fall through the bag molded body/2, thereby reducing the bagging speed If at least It should be possible to increase the rate to 70 bags per minute, or more than 100 bags per minute in most cases.
