Abstract
The invention relates to a packaging unit of an insulating material, and, in particular, of high-temperature wool, preferably formed from a mineral fibrous raw material, and of a wrapper (6) made of a foil (6) or the like. To create a packaging unit (1), for which significantly less space is needed for transport and storage without destroying the inner fiber structure, thereby incurring enormous cost savings, particularly transport costs, an elongated insulating material (2) is rolled up into a bale (3) having straight long sections (4) and round short sections (5).
Description
- The invention relates to a packaging unit comprising: an insulating material, and, in particular, high-temperature wool, the wool being preferably formed from a mineral fibrous raw material, and a wrapper made of a film or the like.
- The transport and storage of insulating materials presents several problems associated with the material bulkiness and the requirement for increased amounts of transport and storage space. Another problem arises from the fact that such materials must be handled carefully during packaging because the internal fiber structure of the products must be preserved in order to maintain the desired insulating effect.
- It is one goal of this invention to provide a packaging unit of this type, which would require significantly less transport and storage space without destroying the inner fiber structure thereof, all of which would translate into enormous cost savings, especially with respect to transportation costs.
- These tasks are achieved with a packaging unit having the features as in
claim 1. - Further embodiments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.
- A characteristic of the packaging unit according to the present invention is the special way of rolling the insulating material, which incurs space savings of up to 20% compared to conventional insulating materials, which are stacked in sheets or rolled into rolls. The subsequent compression of the packing unit achieves further space savings, which then amounts to about 50% space savings compared to conventional insulating materials. This space saving arrangement results in substantially lower warehousing and transport costs because the available space can be better utilized, and twice as much of the insulating material can be stacked on a pallet or the like and can be transported on a truck and/or in a container.
- After the release of the insulating material by opening of the packaging unit, i.e., after removing the surrounding foil, the insulating material expands again as is customary according to industry standards. Although approximately 3-5% volume is lost (relative to the initial expanded state), the benefits are tremendous due to the significantly lower transportation costs, and the loss can be neglected.
- Additional advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description on the basis of the exemplary embodiments illustrating the invention and shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a top view of the packing unit comprising the insulating material rolled up into a bale and foil prior to compression, -
FIG. 2 shows a top view of the packing unit comprising the insulating material rolled up into a bale and foil after compression, -
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a storage and transportation unit comprising a palette with multiple layers, stacked one above the other, of packaging units rolled up into rolls (related art), and -
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a storage and transportation unit comprising a palette with multiple layers, stacked one above the other, of packaging units rolled up into bales and compressed. - With reference to the figures, the
packaging unit 1 comprises aninsulating material 2, in particular, made of a high-temperature wool comprising a mineral fibrous raw material, rolled up intobales 3 comprisinglong sections 4 and roundshort sections 5, wherein theinsulating material 2 is an elongated strip in an unpackaged state. The rolled up bale 3 (see especiallyFIG. 1 ) is provided with awrapper 6 made of foil. - To roll up of the
insulating material 2, a roll-up template 7 is preferably inserted into thebale 3 and is disposed on the first straightlong section 4 a. - The
bale 3, rolled in this way, provides, as mentioned, space savings of up to 20% compared to conventional insulating materials that are stacked as sheets or rolled up into rolls. To increase the space savings by up to 50%, thepackaging unit 1 is compressed after being rolled up such that a smaller and close-to-rectangular cross-section of thepackaging unit 1 is formed (seeFIG. 2 ). The opening of thewrapper 6, which is preferably formed as a sack made of foil, is sealed after compression. - The compression of the
packing unit 1 can be performed, for example, by a mechanical device or by creating a vacuum, wherein the creation of a vacuum and the subsequent closing or welding of thewrapper 6 formed as a sack, thepackaging unit 1 or, as the case may be, theinsulating material 2 remains in a compressed state. -
FIG. 4 shows a storage andtransport unit 8 comprising apalette 9 with a plurality of stackedlayers 10 of theinventive packaging units 1 rolled up into bales and compressed. In this figure, it is clearly visible that twice as many packaging units 1 (of this invention) can be stored and transported as compared to the number of the packaging units 15 (of the related art) shown inFIG. 3 and contained in the storage andtransport units 11, which include apalette 12 with multiple stackedlayers 13 of thepackaging units 15 rolled up intorolls 14. - For example, a container can be loaded with 20 storage and
transport units transport units 11, containing packaging units 15 (of the related art) rolled up intorolls 14 can hold 480 rolls (20 storage andtransport units 11 each with 4 layers each with 6 rolls 14). In contrast, a container with the storage andtransport units 8 comprising packaging units 1 (of this invention) rolled up intobales 3 and compressed, can hold 960 rolls (20 storage andtransport units 11 each with 4 layers each with 12 rolls 14). -
