Description

Packaging Apparatus Having Triple Sealer {Packaging Apparatus Having Triple Sealer}

The present invention relates to a packaging device, and more particularly, to a packaging device that seals the entrance of a packaging container in which food products are stored.

A packaging container in the form of a thin bag pouch, such as a vacuum packaging container for food products, is manufactured in a state in which the outer skin is in close contact with each other, and the contents are stored after the packaging container is opened.

The packaging container is in the form of a pouch in which two sheets of outer skin are overlapped so that both sides and the lower side are adhered by a method such as sealing, or consist of one or two outer skins, and have folds of similar'M' shape on both sides of the cross-sectional view. It can be made in various forms such as packaging containers.

However, since a packaging container made of a thin material is opened after manufacturing, that is, it is not easy to open the packaging container, various technologies for opening a packaging container for storing contents in a packaging machine for automatic packaging have been proposed.

After opening the packaging by the automatic packaging machine and storing the food, the opening of the packaging should be sealed. According to the prior art, the packaging container is sealed by heat sealing by applying heat to the inlet portion of the packaging container using the apparatus shown in FIG. 1.

At this time, in order to stably heat sealing the inlet portion of the packaging container, the inlet portion of the packaging container is manufactured with a length longer than the final product by a predetermined length. The opening part of the heat-sealed packaging container is cut to fit the size of the final product.

On the other hand, if water or oil is stained on the outer surface of foodstuffs stored inside the packaging container, water or oil will be transferred to the entrance of the packaging container during the process of storing the foodstuff in the packaging container, and heat sealing is stable. There are cases where it cannot be performed.

In order to solve this problem, the inlet portion of the packaging container can be made long, but there is a problem that the material cost required for manufacturing the packaging container increases.

In addition, even if the heat sealing operation is stably performed, the opening of the packaging container must be cut to fit the size of the final product after the heat sealing operation, and the cut container pieces after the cutting operation must be separately collected and discarded. The work to be done must be done.

According to the prior art, a series of operations were sequentially performed by installing a device for separately performing the aforementioned heat sealing operation, cutting operation, and disposal operation.

Therefore, it takes a rather long time for the heat sealing operation, the cutting operation and the disposal operation, and when applied to the production of a large amount of products, the time required for this is significantly increased.

In addition, the devices required for heat sealing, cutting, and disposal according to the prior art are different, and maintenance must be performed separately, and as a result, there is a problem that a lot of time and cost are required for maintenance. .

Therefore, there is a need for a technology capable of solving the problems of the prior art.
