Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a packaging arrangement.
- More particularly, the present invention relates to a packaging arrangement for fluids, pastes and powders.
- Various types of packaging are known for transporting or storing liquids such as food products and chemicals. These food products and chemicals are either emptied with devices such as pumps or pressure devices or are self-emptying due to gravity.
- It is an object of the invention to suggest a novel packaging arrangement.
- According to the invention, a packaging arrangement for the bulk handling of fluid material and being adapted to be located within an outer box and/or container, includes
-
- (a) an inner bag adapted to hold fluid material, the inner bag having a product inlet through which the fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet through which the fluid material can flow from the inner bag;
- (b) a surrounding member adapted to surround the inner bag and adapted to form at least one air pocket or air compartment between the surrounding member and the inner bag, the pocket having an air inlet through which air can be introduced into the pocket and thereby putting pressure on the inner bag to force the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.
- The packaging arrangement may be flexible.
- The surrounding member may consist of at least two layers.
- The surrounding member may have 7 air pockets or air compartments.
- Five of the air pockets or air compartments may be adapted to receive air.
- Two of the air pockets may be adapted not to receive air.
- Three of the air pockets may be inter-connected by means of openings between them.
- The air pockets or air compartments may be formed by seal lines on the surrounding member.
- The packaging arrangement may include 3 air inlets to fill all the five air pockets or air compartments adapted to receive air.
- The packaging arrangement may have a bladder shape.
- The packaging arrangement may consist of transparent material to enable the fluids, pastes and/or powders to be visible from the outside.
- The box and/or container may be an intermediary bulk container (IBC).
- The packaging arrangement may be a liquid liner.
- The packaging arrangement may include a manifold within the inner bag to assist in forcing the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.
- The manifold may be a loose device inserted into the inner bag.
- The fluid material may be powdery, paste-like, fluids and/or liquids.
- The intermediate bulk container may have a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons or about 189 to 2000 litres.
- The invention also extends to a method for delivering bulk material and a method for producing the packaging arrangement as described herein.
- The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.
- In the drawings there is shown in:
-
FIG. 1 : a front view and a rear view of the packaging arrangement according to the invention and wherein no fluid material or air has been inserted yet; -
FIG. 2 : a perspective view of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 1 in folded position; -
FIG. 3 : a top view of the packaging arrangement shown in Figurel but containing a fluid material and being inserted in a box or container; -
FIG. 4 : a perspective view of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 3 but without the box or container; -
FIG. 5 : a front view of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 3 with a section of the box or container cut-out to show the product outlet; -
FIG. 6 : a sectional front view of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 3 showing the manifold; -
FIG. 7 : a front view of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 3 with a side of the box or container cut-out; -
FIG. 8 : various views of the manifold shown inFIG. 6 ; -
FIG. 9 : a sectional top view of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 3 showing the manifold; -
FIG. 10 : a top view image of the packaging arrangement according to one embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 11 : a side view image of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 10 ; and -
FIG. 12 : a rear view of the packaging arrangement shown inFIG. 10 . - Referring to the drawings, a gland retaining clip for intermediate bulk containers in accordance with the invention, generally indicated by
reference numeral 10, is shown. - The
flexible packaging arrangement 10 for the bulk handling of fluid material and being adapted to be located within an outer box and/or container, includes -
- (a) an
inner bag 12 adapted to hold fluid material, theinner bag 12 having a product inlet 14 through which the fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and aproduct outlet 16 through which the fluid material can flow from theinner bag 12; - (b) a surrounding
member 18 adapted to surround theinner bag 12 and adapted to form five air pockets orair compartments member 18 and theinner bag 12, theair pockets air inlets air pockets inner bag 12 to force the fluid material out of theinner bag 12 through theproduct outlet 16.
- (a) an
- The
packaging arrangement 10 is flexible. - The
product outlet 16 is located at the bottom of thepackaging arrangement 10. - The
product inlet 14 is located that the top of thepackaging arrangement 10. - The surrounding
member 18 consists of two layers. - The
packaging arrangement 10 may additionally include twoair pockets - Three of the
air pockets openings - The air pockets or
air compartments member 18. - The
packaging arrangement 10 has a bladder shape. - The
packaging arrangement 10 consists of transparent material to enable the fluids, pastes and/or powders to be visible from the outside. - The box and/or container may be an intermediary bulk container (IBC).
- The
packaging arrangement 10 can be a liquid liner. - The
packaging arrangement 10 includes amanifold 44 within theinner bag 12 to assist in forcing the fluid material out of theinner bag 12 through theproduct outlet 16. - The
manifold 44 is a loose device inserted into theinner bag 12. - The fluid material can be powdery, paste-like, fluids and/or liquids.
- The intermediate bulk container can have a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons or about 189 to 2000 litres.
- The invention also extends to a method for delivering bulk material and a method for producing the packaging arrangement as described herein.
