Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a machine for forming gripping elements in bags filled with bulk material.
  • the resultant final product is a filled and sealed bag which must be able to be handled with great ease during the various subsequent transportation, storage and distribution operations.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is that of providing a bag which has gripping means able to allow easy and safe manoeuvring during the various handling steps.
  • said gripping means should not involve the need to increase the strength and therefore the thickness of the material of the entire bag, but if necessary only in the zone where the said gripping means are formed, and may be performed at high speed using an automatic machine without reducing substantially the production speed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a filling machine with a die-cutting apparatus according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a front view of a bag according to the present invention
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of embodiment of a machine according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows front views of the bag in the various stations of the machine according to FIG. 3 .
  • a non-limiting illustrative example of a machine for filling bags 1 with bulk material 2 may be of the forming/filling type which comprises substantially at least three working stations, respectively:
  • Transportation of the bag from one station to the other is performed by means of a slide 110 provided with gripping means 111 , while conveying of the bag outside of the machine is obtained by means of a motor-driven belt or roller 113 .
  • the said bag transportation means consist of a slide 110 which is displaced with an alternating outward and return movement and provided with pairs of opposite grippers for gripping the bag along the opposite vertical edges thereof, said slide being able to impart to the grippers movements in a direction transverse with respect to that of feeding of the bag so as to cause opening of its mouth during its travel from the forming station F to the filling station R and closing thereof during its travel from the station R to the sealing station S.
  • an apparatus 500 for die-cutting the tubular element 101 is arranged, said apparatus being activated in accordance with a sequence controlled by the control means 1000 of the machine so as to form at least one opening 6 b at constant intervals.
  • the interaxial distance of the openings 6 b in the longitudinal direction is determined depending on the length of the bag 1 in the same direction.
  • the tubular element is supplied to the die-cutting apparatus 500 by means of at least two rollers 501 arranged on opposite sides with respect to the said station and by a movable roller 502 for adjusting centring of the tubular element depending on the length of the bag envisaged so as to ensure the correct position of the tubular element 101 during die-cutting.
  • the tubular element 101 is conveyed to the abovementioned forming station F, where means F 10 are provided for performing a weld 5 b on the bottom 1 b along two lines substantially parallel to the transverse direction Y-Y of the bag 1 and spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction X-X by an amount suitable for containing the opening 6 b within two bag portions of suitable length for ensuring the necessary breakage resistance.
  • the bag 1 is conveyed to the sealing station where means S 10 similar to those of the forming station F perform sealing of the mouth 1 a of the bag by means of two welding lines 5 a extending in a direction substantially parallel to the transverse direction Y-Y of the bag 1 and suitably spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction X-X.
  • the bag 1 is conveyed to a second die-cutting station 500 where the formation of at least one hole/eyelet 6 a along the side where the mouth 1 a is situated and inside a strip of material situated between the two said welds 5 a is performed so that the opening 6 a is comprised within and integral with two bag portions of suitable length for ensuring the necessary breakage resistance.
  • the resultant product consists of a bag 1 having gripping elements 6 a , 6 b along both the opposite transverse sides of the said bag which make gripping thereof easy and safe, both for a single user and for two users should the volume of the bag result in large dimensions and considerable weight.
  • the tubular element is supplied by means of unwinding thereof from a reel 101 a ; that the openings may be holes or eyelets extending in the transverse direction; that the openings along the side where the mouth 1 a of the bag 1 is situated are formed separately from the step for forming the welds for closing the said bag.
  • the opening of the hole may be hot-formed following a step involving taking-in the edge of the said hole in order to provide a perimetral bead integral with the material of the bag and able to reinforce the gripping zone of the latter without the addition of materials.
  • this taking-in operation is performed by means of eccentric rotation of the hot die-cutting means around the edge of the hole.
  • this material is in the form of an adhesive strip E 1 applied ( FIG. 3 ) by means of a machine of the labelling type arranged between the reel 101 a and the apparatus 500 for performing first die-cutting of the bottom zone 1 b of the bag 1 .
  • the label is applied ( FIG. 4 a ) in a substantially symmetrical position ( FIG. 4 b ) with respect to the line for cutting the bottom 1 b of the bag so as to leave an adhesive strip along the first die-punched zone of the bottom ( FIG. 4 c )—formed before entry of the tubular element 101 into the filling machine—and an adhesive strip ( FIG. 4 d ) along the second die-cutting zone of the mouth 1 a of the bag 1 , which will be performed when the bag 1 leaves the same machine.
