RU2007147581A - METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PACKING STERILE OR NON-STERILE, LIQUID OR SEMI-LIQUID FOOD PRODUCTS OR THOSE SIMILAR IN ELASTIC PACKAGES - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves continuously arranging flexible pockets (1) at the level of drawing off stations (8-1-8-4) of a rotary filling table (9) that fills the pockets, for simultaneously or continuously transferring the pockets from a table or an infeed belt (6) through a multistation rotary table (7). A plug (2) of one of the pockets is aligned under a filling head (11) of the stations by a clamp (13) of transferring stations (10-1-10-4) of the table (7). An independent claim is also included for a liquid/semi-liquid, sterile/non-sterile or food product packaging installation comprising a rotary table.

Claims (8)

1. A method of packaging sterile or non-sterile, liquid or semi-liquid food products or the like in an elastic bag (1), in which through the first rotary table with many nodes (7) for continuous reception of elastic bags (1) one after another from the table or distribution conveyor (6), the elastic bag (1) is continuously placed on the level of the filling unit (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the second rotary filling table (9) with many filling nodes. 2. The method according to claim 1, in which the elastic bag (1), adopted by one of the nodes (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) of the first rotary table (7), is placed at almost zero relative speed at the level of the filling unit (8a, 8b 8c, 8d) of the second rotary filling table (9). 3. The method according to any one of claims 1 and 2, in which the centering of the neck (2) of the elastic bag (1) under the filling head (11) of the filling unit (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the second rotary table (9) is carried out by means of an exciting device (13), which is equipped with a node for receiving (10A, 10b, 10C, 10d) of the first rotary table (7). 4. The method according to claim 3, in which the reception of the elastic bag (1) with the filling unit (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the second rotary table (9) is carried out only after centering, by means of a gripping device (13) of the corresponding receiving unit (10a) 10b, 10c, 10d) of the first rotary table (7), the neck (2) of said elastic bag (1) under the filling head (11) of said filling unit (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d). 5. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 4, in which the first rotary table (7) is equipped with as many nodes for receiving (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) of the elastic bag (1), how many filling nodes (8a, 8b, 8c , 8d) contains a second rotary filling table (9). 6. A device for implementing the method according to any one of claims 1 to 5, comprising a first rotary table (7) containing several nodes (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) for continuously receiving elastic bags (1) one after another from the table or distribution conveyor (6), and a second rotary filling table (9) with many filling units (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) for continuously filling one after another the elastic bags (1) coming from the first table (7). 7. The device according to claim 6, in which the number of nodes for receiving (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) of the elastic bag (1) of the first rotary table is equal to the number of filling nodes (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) of the rotational filling table (9) . 8. The device according to any one of claims 6 and 7, in which the first rotary table (7) is configured to interact by means of the connection section (12) with the second rotary table (9) so that the elastic bag (1), in particular the neck ( 2), through which the package is filled with the product, it undergoes practically zero speed with respect to the first and second rotary tables (7, 9) upon transition to the level of the mentioned connection section (12).
