Abstract

A spout pouch means a pouch with a lid, and is now rapidly growing as a packaging material for products, such as pet food, beverages, cosmetics (including toiletries), etc., because of lightness, low space usage, and environmental friendliness in comparison to a plastic bottle. Measures against an environmental problem are now seriously considered, so a policy on saving resources is growing by volume reduction and thin walling of a container. Accordingly, even in Japan, a market for a standing pouch is continuously growing, and the pouch is attracting attention as a future packaging material. In particular, a retort pouch equipped with a spout is used in fields of liquid food and enteral nutritional supplements. In regards to the pouch, a containing space of a pouch container is filled with liquid through the spout sealed on an open end of the pouch container by a liquid filling device, and a cap is combined for sealing. On the other hand, a conventional pouch unit for filling liquid has a rotary structure, and the principle of the unit consists of filling liquid, and discharging to the outside after combining a cap of a pouch. In regards to the conventional pouch unit, however, since sterilization of the liquid and the pouch is not carried out, there may be problems in hygiene and safety. According to the present invention, since a spout pouch unit is equipped with a sterilizer, packaging may hygienically and safely be performed by reducing possible risk factors.

Description

[0001] Development of a spout pouch packaging device equipped with a sterilant [

The present invention relates to a pouch packing machine, in which a sterilizing device is mounted on a conventional spout pouch packaging machine for hygienic spout pouch packaging to enable hygienic packaging.

The spout pouch is a pouch with a lid. It is lighter than a plastic bottle, it has a smaller space, lower logistics cost and environment, and it is growing rapidly as a packaging material for pet foods, beverages, cosmetics (including toiletries) products. While the environmental problem measures have been emphasized, the market for the standing pouch continues to expand in Japan, and the market has been attracting attention as a future packaging material. In particular, spout-mounted pouches for retort are used in the field of liquid and enteral nutrients. The pouch is filled with liquid by the liquid filling device through the spout sealed in the opening end of the pouch container to the receiving space of the pouch container and the cap is coupled to seal it. The conventional pouch liquid filling apparatus has a rotary structure, and is filled with liquid, and the cap of the pouch is coupled at the next step, and is then taken out to the outside. However, conventional pouch devices are not sanitized in liquids and pouches, which may cause hygiene and safety hazards. The present invention reduces sanitary and safe packaging by mounting a sterilizing device on a spout pouch device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, and has the following objectives. The present invention aims at developing hygienic and safe packaging technology by developing a sterilization treatment device at the last stage of a filling machine in order to secure hygiene and safety generated in a system in which the contents are filled in a pouch and capped, .

As a solution for solving the above problems, it is possible to produce a sanitary and safe pouch by developing a sterilization treatment device at the final stage of the pouch packaging machine. The present invention relates to a pouch for a pouch comprising a supply part for supplying a pouch formed with a spout, a transfer part provided at an end of the supply part for transferring the pouch, a filling part for filling the pouch with liquid at one end of the transfer part, A capping part for capping the cap on the spout, a sterilizing part for sterilizing the pouch for one second at ultra-high temperature, and a carry-in part for carrying it to the outside.

According to the present invention, since the invention of a device for securing hygiene and safety of an existing pouch packaging device secures hygiene and safety of various products such as food, cosmetics, medicines and the like, the utilization rate will be higher than that of conventional devices.

The pouch packing apparatus of the present invention includes an inlet portion 100 for supplying the pouch 400, a transfer portion 200 for transferring the supplied pouch, a filling portion 300 for filling the liquid, a capping portion 500 for capping the cap on the pouch , And a sterilizing unit 600 for performing ultra-high temperature sterilization on the capped pouch. The pouch is connected to the transfer part 200 from the inlet part 100 to the filling part 300. The presence or absence of the pouch 400 is confirmed under the filling part by the operation of the sensor in the filling part and when the confirmation is made, do. The pouch having the liquid phase enters the capping unit 500 and is attached by attaching a cap. Finally, the pouch enters the sterilizing unit 600 and is sterilized at an ultra-high temperature for 1 second. All of the above processes are simultaneous and rapid production is possible, and the sterilization is also performed at an ultra-high temperature for 1 second, which enables rapid production. The above invention enables hygienic and safe production of the pouch.
