Description

vare eller et antall varer som skal pakkes inn i form av en enhet. item or a number of items to be packed in the form of a unit.

Krympepakkingsteknikken har undergått en rask utvikling gjennom de senere år. Emballeringen utføres i dag vanligvis på Shrink packaging technology has undergone rapid development in recent years. Today, the packaging is usually carried out at

den måte åt plastfolien hylles omkring varen hvoretter folien oppvarmes, vanligvis mens varen befinner seg i et varmekammer, en såkalt krympetunnel, hvor folien oppvarmes enten ved hjelp av strøm-mende varm luft, infrarøde stråler eller liknende. Varmluft er ube-tinget mest benyttet, da den faller rimeligst og mest effektiv. Plastfolier foreligger vanligvis i baneform og legges omkring varens sider, fortrinnsvis slik at foliens over- og underkanter over-lapper varen henholdsvis ved toppen og bunnen. Ved krympepakking oppnås således ofte ikke en fullstendig lukket innpakking. the way in which the plastic foil is wrapped around the item after which the foil is heated, usually while the item is in a heating chamber, a so-called shrink tunnel, where the foil is heated either by means of flowing hot air, infrared rays or the like. Warm air is undoubtedly the most used, as it is the most affordable and most efficient. Plastic foil is usually available in web form and is placed around the product's sides, preferably so that the top and bottom edges of the foil overlap the product at the top and bottom, respectively. With shrink packaging, a completely closed packaging is thus often not achieved.

Krympetunnelene utføres både som stasjonære og som bevegelige enheter. I begge tilfeller er krympetunnelen utført som et kasseformet hus anordnet med én eller to porter som lukkes med et gardin eller liknende før varmen.påsettes, eksempelvis en strøm av varm luft fra et varmeaggregat, slik at folien oppvarmes og krymper til et hylster omkring varen. Utgjør"krympetunnelen en stasjonær enhet, kan varen beveges inn i krympetunnelen på en va-retralle eller liknende eller varen kan beveges gjennom krympetunnelen på et transportbånd, eventuelt slik at varen føres inn på The shrink tunnels are made both as stationary and as mobile units. In both cases, the shrink tunnel is designed as a box-shaped house arranged with one or two gates which are closed with a curtain or similar before the heat is applied, for example a stream of hot air from a heating unit, so that the foil is heated and shrinks into a sleeve around the product. If the shrink tunnel is a stationary unit, the goods can be moved into the shrink tunnel on a goods trolley or similar, or the goods can be moved through the shrink tunnel on a conveyor belt, possibly so that the goods are fed onto

den ene siden og ut på den motsatte siden. Bevegelige krympetunneler er særlig aktuelle dersom varen har stort omfang, eller det dreier seg om en enhet av skjøre varer eller en stabel av varer som vanskelig lar seg bevege uten at det oppstår risiko for at en eller flere av varene skal forskyve seg eller falle av stabelen. one side and out the opposite side. Movable shrink tunnels are particularly relevant if the goods are large in size, or it is a unit of fragile goods or a stack of goods that is difficult to move without the risk of one or more of the goods shifting or falling off the stack .

Det er alminnelig ansett at i.,et moderne krympepakkings-anlegg utgjør selve krympetunnelen det svakeste.ledd,.idet det har hittil vært vanskelig å sørge for at hver enkelt vareenhet omhylles og emballeres, med folien.på ønsket måte. Et velkjent problem er således at folien blærer seg eller får en tendens til å blafre, særlig i det.øyeblikk varmluftstrømmen.påsettes, bl.a. fordi luften inne i omhyllingen oppvarmes, et forhold.som lett fører til at folien kleber seg til tunnelveggens innside, og/eller varen, med den følge at folien går i stykker, deformeres eller forskyves i større eller mindre grad, med det resultat at emballeringen blir mislykket. Dette forhold finner bl.a. sin årsak iat varmluften som tilføres også må bortføres, fortrinnsvis returneres til varmluftaggregatet for å resirkuleres etter fornyet opphetning. It is generally considered that, in a modern shrink packaging plant, the shrink tunnel itself is the weakest link, as it has so far been difficult to ensure that each individual product unit is wrapped and packaged, with the foil, in the desired way. A well-known problem is thus that the foil blisters or has a tendency to flutter, particularly at the moment the hot air flow is switched on, i.a. because the air inside the wrapping is heated, a condition which easily causes the foil to stick to the inside of the tunnel wall, and/or the product, with the result that the foil breaks, deforms or shifts to a greater or lesser extent, with the result that the packaging will fail. This relationship can be found i.a. its reason being that the hot air that is supplied must also be removed, preferably returned to the hot air unit to be recycled after renewed heating.

Vanligvis er krympetunnelene slik innrettet at luften blåser mot folien på siden av varen og suges tilbake til aggrega-tet via porter og kanaler i krympetunnelens tak eller toppvegg. Dette strømningsmønster medfører at luften av og til kommer inn under folien med den følge at folien helt eller delvis presses ut fra varen og blåses opp eller blærer seg som beskrevet ovenfor, Usually, the shrink tunnels are arranged so that the air blows against the foil on the side of the product and is sucked back to the unit via ports and channels in the ceiling or top wall of the shrink tunnel. This flow pattern means that the air occasionally gets under the foil with the result that the foil is completely or partially pushed out from the product and inflates or blisters as described above,

på grunn av disse forhold har det hittil vist seg nødvendig å be-nytte såvidt store krympetunneler at en til tross for en viss opp-blåsing av folien kan unngå at folien kan komme borti krympetunnelens innsidevegg, noe som medfører at krympetunnelene med tilhøren-de utstyr gjerne får et uønskelig stort omfang og naturligvis dessuten blir kostbarere i produksjon og drift. due to these conditions, it has so far proved necessary to use shrink tunnels that are large enough that, despite a certain inflation of the foil, it is possible to avoid that the foil can come into contact with the inner wall of the shrink tunnel, which means that the shrink tunnels with associated equipment often gets an undesirably large scale and naturally also becomes more expensive in production and operation.

Hovedformålet for foreliggende oppfinnelse er å komme frem til en forbedret metode til bruk ved emballeringen og krympingen slik at det kan oppnås en hurtigere og sikrere krymping av folien enn hva som hittil har vært mulig. The main purpose of the present invention is to come up with an improved method for use in packaging and shrinking so that a faster and safer shrinking of the foil can be achieved than has been possible up to now.

Et spesielt formål for oppfinnelsen er å komme frem til en fremgangsmåte hvorved den omtalte blafring og/eller blæring av folien kan unngås, hvorved muliggjøres en bedre romutnyttelse av krympetunnelen. A particular purpose of the invention is to come up with a method by which the mentioned flapping and/or blistering of the foil can be avoided, thereby enabling better space utilization of the shrink tunnel.

Disse og andre formål for oppfinnelsen oppnås gjennom oppfinnelsen som således går ut på en fremgangsmåte^for emballering med varmekrympbar plastfolie i en krympetunnel av den art hvor varen innledningsvis anordnes med en pose- eller hetteliknende omhylling som dekker varens topp og sider, men ikke varens bunnparti, hvoretter varen med poseomhyllingen ved avsuging under varen utsettes for et indre undertrykk slik at folien bringes til å klappe omkring varen og idet varmekrympingen av folien . finner sted ved til-førsel av varm luft til foliens utside, og fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen karakteriseres ved at varmluften sirkuleres i et lukket system hvor luftmassen bringes til å bevege seg i retning oppover langs krympetunnelens innside, vende om ved varens overside under krympetunnelens tak og bevege seg nedover langs varens utside på alle sider og derfra via varens nedre kanter ned til avsugnings- og oppvarmingsorganer for luften under varen hvorfra den oppvarmede luften sendes ut til siden i fordelte strømmer og så påny oppover inn i krympetunnelen langs dennes innside på alle sider av varen samtidig som undertrykket oppstår i poseomhyllingen. These and other objects of the invention are achieved through the invention, which thus consists of a method for packaging with heat-shrinkable plastic foil in a shrink tunnel of the kind where the product is initially arranged with a bag- or hood-like envelope that covers the top and sides of the product, but not the bottom of the product , after which the product with the bag covering is subjected to an internal negative pressure by suction under the product so that the foil is brought to flap around the product and the heat shrinks the foil. takes place by supplying hot air to the outside of the foil, and the method according to the invention is characterized by the fact that the hot air is circulated in a closed system where the air mass is made to move in an upward direction along the inside of the shrink tunnel, turn around at the top of the product under the roof of the shrink tunnel and move downwards along the outside of the item on all sides and from there via the lower edges of the item down to suction and heating means for the air under the item from where the heated air is sent out to the side in distributed streams and then upwards again into the shrink tunnel along its inside on all sides of the item at the same time as the negative pressure occurs in the bag envelope.

Ved oppfinnelsen oppnås først og fremst den vesentlige fordel at den pose- eller hetteliknende omhylling av plastfolie utsettes for en forholdsvis kraftig sugekraft ved den nedover-rettede åpningen med den følge at folien i poseomhyllingen klapper tett omkring varen samtidig som den krymper som følge av oppvar-mingen, hvorved den forannevnte blafring, og/eller blæring unngås. Undertrykket i poseomhyllingen vil i praksis dannes noe før opp-varmingen og krympingen finner sted, noe som bare er en fordel for fremgangsmåtens vellykkede gjennomføring. En videre følge av oppfinnelsen er at emballeringen. kan foregå på en bedre og hurtigere måte enn hva som hittil har vært mulig. The invention primarily achieves the significant advantage that the bag or cap-like covering of plastic foil is exposed to a relatively strong suction force at the downward-facing opening, with the result that the foil in the bag covering flaps tightly around the product at the same time that it shrinks as a result of heating ming, whereby the aforementioned flapping and/or blistering is avoided. In practice, the negative pressure in the bag envelope will build somewhat before the heating and shrinking take place, which is only an advantage for the successful implementation of the method. A further consequence of the invention is that the packaging. can take place in a better and faster way than what has been possible up until now.

Oppfinnelsen skal beskrives nærmere under henvisning til vedlagte skjematiske tegning, hvor: Fig. 1 viser et snitt gjennom et krympepakkeanlegg for utførelse av fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen. Fig. 2 viser et grunnriss sett i snitt langs planet II-II på fig. 1. The invention shall be described in more detail with reference to the attached schematic drawing, where: Fig. 1 shows a section through a shrink packaging plant for carrying out the method according to the invention. Fig. 2 shows a ground plan seen in section along plane II-II in fig. 1.

På figurene betegner henvisningstallet 2 krympetunnelen, varmluftaggregatet er generelt betegnet med tallet 4, varen, med tallet 6 og gulvet i anleggsrommet med.tallet 8. In the figures, the reference number 2 denotes the shrink tunnel, the hot air unit is generally denoted by the number 4, the item by the number 6 and the floor in the installation room by the number 8.

Krympetunnelen 2 kan være av i og for seg kjent type. The shrink tunnel 2 can be of a known type per se.

Ved det viste anlegget er varmluftaggregatet konstruert som en stasjonær enhet som er nedmontert i en forsenkning i gulvet.8 som vist på fig. 1, idet krympetunnelen er av den bevegelige typen og omfattende vegger 5,5 samt et tett tak 7. Som vist på fig. 2 er to motstående, vegger i tunnelen anordnet med dører eller porter 9 som kan lukkes ved hjelp av gardiner 14 eller liknende. In the system shown, the hot air unit is designed as a stationary unit which is installed in a recess in the floor.8 as shown in fig. 1, the shrink tunnel being of the movable type and comprising walls 5.5 as well as a tight roof 7. As shown in fig. 2 are two opposite walls in the tunnel arranged with doors or gates 9 which can be closed using curtains 14 or the like.

Varmluftaggregatet utgjør en særskilt enhet med en bæ-rende ramme 10 og innbefattet et luftkanalsystem omfattende én sentral kanal eller sjakt 12 som som vist er åpen oppover, men er lukket i bunnen 11. Fra sjaktens bunnparti strekker seg et antall siderettede og oppoverrettede luftkanaler 16, som ender i slissformede utløpsåpninger 18 som som best vist på fig. 2 The hot air unit constitutes a separate unit with a supporting frame 10 and included an air duct system comprising one central duct or shaft 12 which, as shown, is open upwards, but is closed at the bottom 11. From the bottom part of the shaft extends a number of side-directed and upwards-directed air ducts 16, which end in slot-shaped outlet openings 18 as best shown in fig. 2

er lokalisert slik at de er lokalisert like på innsiden av krympetunnelen. are located so that they are located just inside the shrink tunnel.

I den sentrale sjakten 12 er montert en nedover sugende vifte 22 som via en vertikal aksel 24 drives av en elektrisk motor A downward suction fan 22 is mounted in the central shaft 12, which is driven via a vertical shaft 24 by an electric motor

26 som er montert i aggregatets bæreramme 10. I sjakten 12 er videre montert elektriske heteelementer 28, fortrinnsvis i forbindelse med en varmevekslerenhet i form av platelameller 29 26 which is mounted in the unit's support frame 10. Electric heating elements 28 are also mounted in the shaft 12, preferably in connection with a heat exchanger unit in the form of plate slats 29

eller liknende. or similar.

Fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen vil ved bruk av det viste anlegget praktiseres på følgende måte. - The method according to the invention will be practiced in the following way when using the plant shown. -

En tenker seg at varen eller vareenheten 6 plasseres i krympetunnelen på toppen av varmluftaggregatet 4, hensiktsmessig på en lastepall 34 eller liknende, slik at det foreligger luft-spalter 36 mellom varens underside og bæreflaten på varmluftaggre-gatene. Varen påtres eller tildekkes med en poseliknende omhylling 50 av krympefolien slik at foliene dekker varen bortsett fra under-siden. De elektriske heteorganene blir fortrinnsvis innkoplet en god stund før krympepakkeanlegget skal benyttes slik at hele varmluftaggregatet er godt gjennomvarmet og viften 22 kan eventuelt være i gang kontinuerlig. Viften vil nå suge luft ned gjennom sjaktens 12 øvre åpning med den følge at det dannes et kraftig undertrykk i den poseliknende omhylling omkring varen. Videre vil det suges inn luft gjennom åpningene 36 mellom foliens underkant 21 og varmluftaggregatets overside. Luften strømmer gjennom opp-varmingsorganene og deretter videre ned sjakten og ut gjennom sidekanalene 16 med den følge at varmluften blåses opp i krympetunnelen gjennom de slissformede portene 18 og oppover langs krympetunnelens innsidevegger. På toppen av krympetunnelen vil varmluften snu og deretter strømme nedover langs folien slik at folien i alt vesentlig vil oppvarmes fra toppen og nedover. Deretter vil luften som tidligere beskrevet suges inn under foliens underkant og påny komme ned i sjakten 12„ Varmluftens strømningsmøn-ster illustreres på fig. 1 ved hjelp av pilene. Ved fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen vil foliehetten således utsettes for en sugevirkning samtidig som den oppvarmes. One imagines that the item or item unit 6 is placed in the shrink tunnel on top of the hot air unit 4, suitably on a loading pallet 34 or similar, so that there are air gaps 36 between the underside of the item and the bearing surface of the hot air unit. The item is applied or covered with a bag-like wrapping 50 of the shrink film so that the foils cover the item except for the underside. The electric heating elements are preferably switched on a good while before the shrink wrap system is to be used so that the entire hot air unit is well heated through and the fan 22 can possibly be running continuously. The fan will now suck air down through the upper opening of the shaft 12 with the result that a strong negative pressure is formed in the bag-like casing around the product. Furthermore, air will be sucked in through the openings 36 between the lower edge 21 of the foil and the upper side of the hot air unit. The air flows through the heating means and then further down the shaft and out through the side channels 16 with the result that the hot air is blown up into the shrink tunnel through the slot-shaped ports 18 and up along the inner walls of the shrink tunnel. At the top of the shrink tunnel, the hot air will turn and then flow downwards along the foil so that the foil will essentially be heated from the top downwards. Then, as previously described, the air will be sucked in under the lower edge of the foil and come down again into the shaft 12. The flow pattern of the hot air is illustrated in fig. 1 using the arrows. In the method according to the invention, the foil cap will thus be exposed to a suction effect at the same time as it is heated.

Det vil forstås at fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen kan gjennomføres på flere forskjellige måter. Således kan det i enkelte tilfeller være aktuelt å igangsette avsugingen et øyeblikk før selve varmebehandlingsprosessen igangsettes, slik at det innledningsvis vil foreligge et visst undertrykk i luftvolumet i posehylsteret omkring varen. It will be understood that the method according to the invention can be carried out in several different ways. Thus, in some cases, it may be relevant to initiate the extraction a moment before the actual heat treatment process is initiated, so that there will initially be a certain negative pressure in the air volume in the bag casing around the product.

Med hensyn til utførelsen av den poseliknende omhyllingen omkring varen vil det forstås at den kan utføres på forskjellige måter. Posens form og utforming vil bl.a. bero på hva slags varer eller vareenheter som skal emballeres, samt hvilke dimensjoner varen har. I dé fleste tilfeller vil det være hensiktsmessig å anvende plastposer som tildannes og tres over den enkelte vareenhet suksessivt under pakkingen, hvilke poser kan foreligge i fullt ferdig skikkelse eller det kan anvendes folie eller krympe-film i form av slangeformete emner i baneform. Det skal imidler-tid forståes at det er for praktisering av fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen ikke nødvendig å anvende poser i ordets egentlige for-stand, idet det kan med samme resultat anvendes plastfolie i baneform som legges rundt varen hensiktsmessig ovenfra slik at folien brettes nedover varens sideflate. Det vesentlige for fremgangsmåtens gjennomførelse er at det inne i hylsteret kan dannes et undertrykk slik at folien i større eller mindre grad kan fastsuges til varen samtidig som den utsettes for krympingen ved hjelp av varmlufttilførselen. Når det benyttes en innledningsvis flat folie kan det lett oppstå problemer i forbindelse med at det dannes folder i folien slik at det krympete hylsteret kan få en ruglete eller posete overflate, men dette kan til en viss grad kompense-res for ved at folien utsettes for sterkere krymping langsover de partier som innbefatter foldene. With regard to the execution of the bag-like wrapping around the item, it will be understood that it can be executed in different ways. The shape and design of the bag will, among other things, depend on the type of goods or goods units to be packaged, as well as the dimensions of the goods. In most cases, it will be appropriate to use plastic bags that are formed and threaded over the individual product unit successively during packaging, which bags can be available in fully finished form or foil or shrink film can be used in the form of snake-shaped items in web form. However, it should be understood that for the practice of the method according to the invention it is not necessary to use bags in the true sense of the word, as plastic foil in the form of a web can be used with the same result, which is placed around the item from above, so that the foil is folded down the side surface of the item . The essential thing for the method to be carried out is that a negative pressure can be created inside the casing so that the foil can be more or less attached to the product at the same time as it is subjected to shrinkage by means of the hot air supply. When an initially flat foil is used, problems can easily arise in connection with the formation of folds in the foil so that the shrunk casing can have a rough or baggy surface, but this can be compensated for to a certain extent by exposing the foil to stronger shrinkage along the parts that include the folds.

En ytterligere vesentlig fordel ved fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen er at den tidligere nevnte ulempe at folien lett får en tilbøyelighet til å' blafre eller blære seg idet krym-peprosessen innledes unngåes, noe som innebærer at krympetunnelen i langt større grad enn hittil kan fylles med varer idet minimums-avstanden fra varens utside til krympetunnelens innside kan reduseres ganske vesentlig, således kan klaringen fra vare til vegg ved bruk av fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen reduseres fra 30 til 50 cm som er alminnelig ved i dag brukte krympeanlegg, til ca. 5 til 10 cm. Dette innebærer at et krympepakkeanlegg med en gitt størrelse og som arbeider på grunnlag av fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen vil få vesentlig høyere kapasitet og vil kunne pakke større produkter, eksempelvis 15 - 30 %, sammenlignet med et konvensjonelt anlegg med forøvrig tilsvarende dimensjoner. A further significant advantage of the method according to the invention is that the previously mentioned disadvantage that the foil easily has a tendency to flap or blister when the shrinking process is started is avoided, which means that the shrink tunnel can be filled with goods to a far greater extent than hitherto the minimum distance from the outside of the product to the inside of the shrink tunnel can be reduced quite significantly, thus the clearance from the product to the wall when using the method according to the invention can be reduced from 30 to 50 cm, which is common in today's shrink systems, to approx. 5 to 10 cm. This means that a shrink packaging plant with a given size and which works on the basis of the method according to the invention will have a significantly higher capacity and will be able to pack larger products, for example 15 - 30%, compared to a conventional plant with otherwise similar dimensions.
