Oppfinnelsen omfatter også en framgangsmåte for framstilling av en slik kasse.Box (1) made by EPS for the manufacture and / or storage of foodstuffs. The box has sides and bottom, and a plastic film (5) is glued to an upper edge surface on the sides of the box, the plastic film constituting a lid on the box. The invention also encompasses a method of making such a box.
Description
Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår en ny type EPS kasser, i samsvar med innledende del av patentkrav 1. The present invention relates to a new type of EPS boxes, in accordance with the introductory part of patent claim 1.
Bakgrunn Background
I dag fraktes matvarer, og særlig fersk fisk, ofte i kasser av EPS (Ekspandert PolyStyren). Transport i EPS-kasser er den rimeligste og mest effektive måten å frakte fisk på. En slik kasse er lett, funksjonell, hygienisk, solid og kan tilpasses europallen. Fisken legges i kassen sammen med is, eventuelt en absorbent, hvoretter et lokk av EPS legges på kassen, og pakkestropper fester lokket til kassen. Slike kasser med lokk og pakkestropper er velkjente innen faget, f.eks. fra Bewi Today, foodstuffs, and especially fresh fish, are often transported in boxes made of EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene). Transport in EPS boxes is the cheapest and most efficient way to transport fish. Such a box is light, functional, hygienic, solid and can be adapted to the Europallet. The fish is placed in the box together with ice, possibly an absorbent, after which a lid of EPS is placed on the box, and packing straps attach the lid to the box. Such boxes with lids and packing straps are well known in the art, e.g. from Bewi
AS. AS.
Under transport vil det meste av isen smelte, og for å unngå at matvaren blir liggende i vann, hvilket forringer kvaliteten, er de fleste EPS kasser utformet med drenshull i bunnen slik at overskytende vann kan renne ut. Under lang transport vil det derfor renne ut vann fra kassene, og fra transportmidlet, så som en lastebil. Dette vannet er blandet med væsker fra fisken, og er derfor ugunstige utslipp. Alternativet er å benytte tilstrekkelige mengder absorbenter, og dette gjøres blant annet for flytransport. During transport, most of the ice will melt, and to avoid the food being left in water, which reduces quality, most EPS boxes are designed with drainage holes in the bottom so that excess water can drain out. During long transport, water will therefore flow out of the boxes, and from the means of transport, such as a truck. This water is mixed with fluids from the fish, and is therefore an unfavorable discharge. The alternative is to use sufficient amounts of absorbents, and this is done, among other things, for air transport.
Å fylle kassene med is i stedet for matvarer er svært ugunstig, og gjør transporten kostbar. Man kan også bruke tørris i stedet for vanlig våtis, men tørris er svært mye dyrere i tillegg til at det ikke kan være i direkte kontakt med selve matvaren. Alternativet til bruk av EPS kasser med is, er å bruke andre kasser og besørge kjøling under hele transporten på andre måter. Kassene må dessuten ha en egenstyrke slik at de kan stables, flyttes og håndteres uten fare for at de går i stykker. Filling the crates with ice instead of food is very disadvantageous and makes transport expensive. You can also use dry ice instead of regular wet ice, but dry ice is much more expensive and it cannot be in direct contact with the food itself. The alternative to using EPS boxes with ice is to use other boxes and provide cooling during the entire transport in other ways. The boxes must also have an intrinsic strength so that they can be stacked, moved and handled without the risk of them breaking.
Formål Purpose
Det er et formål at EPS- kassene i samsvar med foreliggende patentsøknad skal være lettere og ha mindre ytre volum enn kjente EPS-kasser med samme indre volum. Det er videre et formål at kassene skal være luft og væsketette, slik at atmosfæren inne i kassene blir kontrollerbar. Det er dessuten et formål at kassene skal gi bedre mulighet for branding. It is a purpose that the EPS boxes, in accordance with the present patent application, should be lighter and have a smaller external volume than known EPS boxes with the same internal volume. It is also a purpose that the boxes should be air and liquid tight, so that the atmosphere inside the boxes can be controlled. It is also a purpose that the boxes should provide better opportunities for branding.
Oppfinnelsen The invention
Formålene nås med en EPS kasse i samsvar med den karakteriserende delen av patentkrav 1 og 7. Ytterligere fordelaktige trekk er gitt i de tilhørende uselvstendige kravene. The objectives are achieved with an EPS box in accordance with the characterizing part of patent claims 1 and 7. Further advantageous features are provided in the associated independent claims.
Oppfinnelsen angår en kasse av EPS, hvor det vanligvis benyttes et lokk av EPS for å hindre kuldetap, samt å beskytte innholdet, idet lokket festes til kassen med pakkestropper. I den foreliggende oppfinnelsen er dette lokket erstattet med en plastfilm som limes direkte på EPS kassen. Med denne filmen oppnås en vesentlig reduksjon i volum og vekt, og det er omønskelig, mulig å oppnå en kasse som er væske og/eller gass-tett. Ved bruk av en gjennomsiktig plastfilm blir i tillegg innholdet lettere å inspisere for sluttbruker, som ikke lenger trenger å åpne kassen for å kontrollere innholdet. Filmen gir dessuten god mulighet for branding, fordi det kan trykkes direkte på plastfilmen. Direkte trykk på EPS er mulig, men resultatet blir ofte dårlig og forårsaker mye vrak. Alternativet er bruk av klistremerker, men det gir ekstra kostnader og merarbeid. The invention relates to a box made of EPS, where a lid made of EPS is usually used to prevent loss of cold, as well as to protect the contents, as the lid is attached to the box with packing straps. In the present invention, this lid is replaced with a plastic film which is glued directly to the EPS box. With this film, a significant reduction in volume and weight is achieved, and it is undesirable, but possible to achieve a box that is liquid and/or gas-tight. By using a transparent plastic film, the contents are also easier to inspect for the end user, who no longer needs to open the box to check the contents. The film also offers good opportunities for branding, because it can be printed directly on the plastic film. Direct printing on EPS is possible, but the result is often poor and causes a lot of wreckage. The alternative is the use of stickers, but this results in additional costs and extra work.
For å feste plastfilmen til EPS-kassen, benyttes det et lim. Selv om dette limet ikke skal være i direkte kontakt med innholdet i kassen, er det en fordel at det benyttes et lim som er FDA-godkjent for indirekte kontakt med mat. Limet må hefte godt til EPS, og fortrinnsvis ha et lavere smeltepunkt enn EPS slik at ikke EPS deformeres eller smelter når limet påføres. Når EPS smelter utvikles styren-gass som er mulig kreftframkallende for menneske. An adhesive is used to attach the plastic film to the EPS box. Although this adhesive should not be in direct contact with the contents of the box, it is an advantage that an adhesive is used that is FDA-approved for indirect contact with food. The glue must adhere well to EPS, and preferably have a lower melting point than EPS so that EPS does not deform or melt when the glue is applied. When EPS melts, styrene gas is developed, which is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Med "å lime" er det i denne sammenhengen ment bruk av et adhesive/lim for å feste to deler til hverandre, enten løsbart eller fast. Med "lim" er det ment enhver type festemiddel som er egnet for å feste to deler til hverandre, enten løsbart eller fast. Det kan brukes ulike typer lim, fortrinnsvis lim som påføres i ett trinn, og reaktiveres i et annet, f.eks. lim som aktiveres ved temperatur, trykk, ultralyd eller ultrafiolett lys. Det kan også tenkes bruk av lim som påføres i ett trinn, og som herdes i et annet. Det kan dessuten tenkes at limet som benyttes er en type plast som først festes til EPS-kassen, og at når plastfilmen påføres sveises den til plasten som allerede er påført EPS-kassen. Det er selvsagt en forutsetning at plasten som påføres EPS kassen hefter til denne, og ikke løsner under sveisingen. Uttrykkene "lim" og "å lime" slik de benyttes i denne teksten, skal tolkes til å omfatte alle ovennevnte eksempler. Et foretrukket eksempel på et lim som reaktiveres med varme, er etylen-vinyl-acetat (CAS# 24937-78-8, også kjent som EVA). Det er en kopolymer av etylen og vinyl-acetat. Vektandelen vinylacetat varierer vanligvis fra 10 til 40%. In this context, "to glue" means the use of an adhesive/glue to attach two parts to each other, either releasably or firmly. By "glue" is meant any type of adhesive that is suitable for attaching two parts to each other, either releasably or firmly. Different types of glue can be used, preferably glue that is applied in one step and reactivated in another, e.g. glue that is activated by temperature, pressure, ultrasound or ultraviolet light. It is also conceivable to use glue which is applied in one step and which hardens in another. It is also conceivable that the glue used is a type of plastic that is first attached to the EPS box, and that when the plastic film is applied it is welded to the plastic that has already been applied to the EPS box. It is of course a prerequisite that the plastic applied to the EPS box adheres to it, and does not come loose during welding. The terms "glue" and "to glue" as used in this text shall be interpreted to include all of the above examples. A preferred example of a heat reactivated adhesive is ethylene vinyl acetate (CAS# 24937-78-8, also known as EVA). It is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The proportion by weight of vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40%.
I en særlig fordelaktig utførelse påføres limet umiddelbart etter at kassen er produsert, slik at In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the glue is applied immediately after the box is produced, so that
limet påføres under tørre, kontrollerbare forhold. Limet kan også påføres kassen etter at innholdet er lagt i, men da er det en fare for at vann, is eller andre elementer forhindrer optimal heft mellom lim og EPS. Etter at innholdet er lagt i kassen, må limet reaktiveres og plastfilmen påføres. Dersom limets egenskaper tillater det, kan det også støpes inn i EPS kassen, når den produseres. the adhesive is applied under dry, controllable conditions. The glue can also be applied to the box after the contents have been put in, but then there is a risk that water, ice or other elements prevent optimal adhesion between the glue and the EPS. After the contents have been placed in the box, the glue must be reactivated and the plastic film applied. If the properties of the glue allow it, it can also be molded into the EPS box, when it is produced.
I en fordelaktig utførelse utføres den øvre kantflaten på sideveggene av EPS kassen med et horisontalt, periferisk spor hvor limet legges, slik at kontaktflaten mellom EPS og lim blir størst mulig, uten at veggtykkelsen på kassen endres. In an advantageous embodiment, the upper edge surface on the side walls of the EPS box is made with a horizontal, circumferential groove where the glue is laid, so that the contact surface between EPS and glue is as large as possible, without the wall thickness of the box changing.
Plastfilmen som legges som lokk på EPS kassen, må også være godkjent for matvarer på samme måte som limet. Plastfilmen er fortrinnsvis gasstett, og har høy strekkfasthet, f.eks. omtrent 13 MPa. Det er dessuten foretrukket at det kan printes direkte på plastfilmen, og at den er utført i en kvalitet som ikke dugger. Det er videre en forutsetning at filmen hefter godt til limet, og at den ikke endres av reaktiveringen eller herdingen av limet, den må for eksempel ha en smeltetemperatur som er høyere enn reaktiverings-temperaturen for limet, i de tilfeller limet skal varme-aktiveres. For å oppnå en film med tilfredsstillende egenskaper kan det være fordelaktig å benytte en plastfilm med flere lag. The plastic film that is placed as a lid on the EPS box must also be approved for foodstuffs in the same way as the glue. The plastic film is preferably gas-tight, and has high tensile strength, e.g. about 13 MPa. It is also preferred that it can be printed directly on the plastic film, and that it is made in a quality that does not fog. It is also a prerequisite that the film adheres well to the adhesive, and that it is not changed by the reactivation or curing of the adhesive, for example it must have a melting temperature that is higher than the reactivation temperature of the adhesive, in those cases the adhesive is to be heat-activated. In order to obtain a film with satisfactory properties, it can be advantageous to use a plastic film with several layers.
Den reduserte vekten og det reduserte volumet gir store besparelser i transportkostnader. Når man i tillegg kan oppnå en helt lufttett kasse kan man pakke fisken med en kontrollert atmosfære, og dette åpner for nye metoder for pakking og transport av fersk fisk. En reduksjon i mengden is vil for eksempel bidra betydelig til å senke transportkostnader. The reduced weight and the reduced volume provide major savings in transport costs. When you can also achieve a completely airtight box, you can pack the fish with a controlled atmosphere, and this opens up new methods for packing and transporting fresh fish. A reduction in the amount of ice, for example, will contribute significantly to lowering transport costs.
Ved å erstatte lokkene med en plastfolie, kan undersiden av bunnen og den øvre delen av sideveggene og/eller den øvre kantflaten utføres med motsvarende utforminger, slik at bunnen i en tilstøtende kasse som er stablet ovenpå vil fungere som et isolerende lokk. Dette medfører en ytterligere reduksjon i volum, slik at flere kasser kan stables i høyden, uten å øke ytre mål på pallen. Dette gir store besparelser i transportkostnader. By replacing the lids with a plastic foil, the underside of the base and the upper part of the side walls and/or the upper edge surface can be made with corresponding designs, so that the bottom of an adjacent box that is stacked on top will act as an insulating lid. This results in a further reduction in volume, so that more boxes can be stacked in height, without increasing the outer dimensions of the pallet. This results in large savings in transport costs.
Eksempel Example
I det følgende vil det beskrives et eksempel på en kasse hvor EPS-lokket er erstattet med en plastfilm, og hvor et antall kasser er plassert på en pall. Eksemplet er vist i vedlagte figurer hvor figur 1 viser en kasse med et periferisk spor, In the following, an example of a box will be described where the EPS lid has been replaced with a plastic film, and where a number of boxes are placed on a pallet. The example is shown in the attached figures, where figure 1 shows a box with a circumferential groove,
figur 2 viser kassen i figur 1, med en pålimt plastfolie, og figure 2 shows the box in figure 1, with a glued plastic foil, and
figur 3 viser en pall med nye kasser med plastfolie i sammenligning med en pall med tradisjonelle kasser. figure 3 shows a pallet with new boxes with plastic foil in comparison with a pallet with traditional boxes.
I figur 1 er det vist en fiskekasse 1 i EPS (i dette tilfellet er det brukt en EPS med smeltetemperatur på 103°C) som er modifisert for å motta en plastfilm som lokk i stedet for et tradisjonelt EPS lokk. Kassen er utformet med et periferisk spor 2 i den øvre kantflaten på sidene av kassen, og i den viste utførelsen har sporet form som en halvsirkel, og er omtrent 0,5 cm bredt, og omtrent 0,5 cm dypt. I tillegg er de øvre kantflatene av kassen utformet med en diskontinuerlig forhøyet ytre kant 3, som motsvarer fordypninger/spor 4 i undersiden av kassen, slik at kasser kan stables stabilt i høyden. Figure 1 shows a fish box 1 in EPS (in this case an EPS with a melting temperature of 103°C has been used) which has been modified to receive a plastic film as a lid instead of a traditional EPS lid. The case is designed with a circumferential groove 2 in the upper edge surface on the sides of the case, and in the embodiment shown, the groove has the shape of a semicircle, and is about 0.5 cm wide, and about 0.5 cm deep. In addition, the upper edge surfaces of the box are designed with a discontinuously raised outer edge 3, which corresponds to recesses/tracks 4 in the underside of the box, so that boxes can be stacked stably in height.
Et EVA lim, eksempelvis Krystal Lim FDA 105, legges i sporet 2, ved en temperatur på ca 70°C. Etter at limet er påført kjøles kassen 1 og transporteres til brukssted, hvor fisk og is legges i kassen. Deretter reaktiveres limet med varme, f.eks. ved å bruke en ramme med en temp på 80°C som senkes ned på limet og varmer det opp. Rammen har samme form som sporet 2 og har en bredde på 0,3 mm, for å unngå direkte kontakt mellom den varme rammen og selve EPS kassen. An EVA glue, for example Krystal Lim FDA 105, is placed in slot 2, at a temperature of approx. 70°C. After the glue has been applied, the box 1 is cooled and transported to the place of use, where fish and ice are placed in the box. The glue is then reactivated with heat, e.g. by using a frame with a temperature of 80°C which is lowered onto the glue and heats it up. The frame has the same shape as slot 2 and has a width of 0.3 mm, to avoid direct contact between the hot frame and the EPS box itself.
Deretter legges en plastfilm 5, i det viste tilfellet en 40 u.m tykk to-sjikts plastfilm av PE og EVA, idet EVA laget vender mot limet, over kassen 1 og føres ned inntil filmen 5 hefter i limet, og fortrinnsvis inntil filmen er i kontakt med de øvre kantflatene av kassen, slik at den blir limt til EPS kassen. En kasse med fisk og is, forsynt med en slik plastfilm, er vist i figur 2. Next, a plastic film 5, in the case shown a 40 µm thick two-layer plastic film of PE and EVA, with the EVA layer facing the glue, is placed over the box 1 and guided down until the film 5 adheres to the glue, and preferably until the film is in contact with the upper edge surfaces of the box, so that it is glued to the EPS box. A box with fish and ice, provided with such a plastic film, is shown in figure 2.
Besparelsen ved å bruke plastfilm 5 i stedet for tradisjonelle EPS lokk 6, er store. Et tradisjonelt lokk veier 200 gram, og en plastfilm med lim, i samsvar med eksemplet ovenfor, veier omtrent 15 g. Vekt-besparelsen per kasse vil dermed være omtrent 185 g, og per pall (24 kasser) vil dette utgjøre 24<*>185 g, dvs 4,440 kg. For å sikre at det ikke går hull på de øverste kassene, samt for å hindre kuldetap, vil det imidlertid være en fordel at det øverste laget i tillegg har tradisjonelle lokk, og besparelsen per pall vil dermed være (24-3)<*>185 g = 3,840 g. Vektbesparelse på selve kassene grunnet ny utforming med forhøyninger og spor, kommer i tillegg. The savings by using plastic film 5 instead of traditional EPS lids 6 are large. A traditional lid weighs 200 grams, and a plastic film with glue, in accordance with the above example, weighs approximately 15 g. The weight saving per case will thus be approximately 185 g, and per pallet (24 cases) this will amount to 24<*> 185 g, i.e. 4,440 kg. However, to ensure that there are no holes in the top boxes, as well as to prevent cold loss, it would be an advantage if the top layer also had traditional lids, and the savings per pallet would thus be (24-3)<*> 185 g = 3,840 g. Weight savings on the boxes themselves due to a new design with elevations and grooves, comes in addition.
Et lokk bygger omtrent 2 cm, og volumbesparelsen per pall (8 kasser i høyden) vil dermed være 7<*>2cm; 14 cm. Imidlertid, når kassene i tillegg er utformet med forhøyninger på den øvre kantflaten og motsvarende spor på undersiden av bunnen, kan kassene stables tettere enn før, og den totale besparelsen i volum, med kasser i samsvar med foreliggende oppfinnelse, er som vist i figur 3, 23,9 cm, eller ca 230 liter. A lid builds approximately 2 cm, and the volume saving per pallet (8 boxes in height) will thus be 7<*>2cm; 14 cm. However, when the boxes are additionally designed with elevations on the upper edge surface and corresponding grooves on the underside of the bottom, the boxes can be stacked closer than before, and the total saving in volume, with boxes in accordance with the present invention, is as shown in figure 3 , 23.9 cm, or about 230 litres.
I det ovenstående er det vist og beskrevet en foretrukket utførelse av foreliggende oppfinnelsen. Figurene og eksemplet er bare gitt for å illustrere en utførelse av oppfinnelsen, og skal ikke under noen omstendighet tolkes som begrensende for oppfinnelsen slik den er definert i de vedlagte patentkrav. In the above, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown and described. The figures and the example are only given to illustrate an embodiment of the invention, and should not under any circumstances be interpreted as limiting the invention as it is defined in the attached patent claims.
