Definitions

  • the invention relates wrapping a bundle of containers with a cutout.
  • An object of the invention is that of wrapping a bundle of containers with a non-shrinkable and environmentally-friendly material.
  • the invention features an apparatus for wrapping a bundle of containers.
  • the apparatus includes a tensioner that can be brought into engagement with the cutout formed from paper and that temporarily applies a tension to the cutout's rear end in a direction against the bundle's transport direction.
  • the bundle of grouped individual packages is wrapped into the cutout formed from or consisting of a paper material, wherein, in the transport direction of the bundle specified by the transporter, the rear end of the cutout is guided around the bundle and brought in contact with the front end of the cutout.
  • the device according to the invention a tensioner, which at least temporarily pretensions the rear end of the cutout, folded over, against the transport direction specified by the transporter, and into the direction onto the front end of the cutout.
  • a defined degree of pretension ensures that the cutout is in taut contact with the bundle in the circumferential direction specified by the transport direction, which is a precondition for producing a stable bundle.
  • the pretensioning prevents free spaces which influence the stability from forming in the region between the individual packages and the cutout.
  • the pretension produced by the tensioner can in this situation be put into effect both by an active displacement of the folded rear end against the transport direction into the direction onto the front end, as well as by an only temporary local fixing of the folded rear end, wherein the pretension then results from the displacement of the bundle caused by the transporter along a transport plane.
  • the device according to the invention therefore allows for the production of stable bundles without the use of plastic films.
  • a defined pretension of the cutout can be applied which is sufficient to secure the individual packages in their positions relative to one another with a paper cutout pretensioned in this manner.
  • the individual packages are preferably each filled at least partially with the object(s) to be taken up by the individual packages, such as a liquid.
  • the individual packages are preferably at least partially filled packages.
  • Liquid containers in this case should be understood to mean the known primary packages for beverages and liquid foodstuffs, such as, in particular, bottles, cans, beakers, and pouches, or cubic packaging with or without spouts.
  • These liquid containers can consist of one of more known materials, such as glass, plastic, metal, or cardboard.
  • the bundle stands with its underside at least partially on the front end of the paper cutout, such that, during the transport of the bundle through the wrapper, the front end of the paper cutout is arranged between the underside of the bundle and the transport plane.
  • the arrangement of the tensioner on the device can be optional, as long as it can be ensured that the rear end is in contact with front end under tension of the paper cutout. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, provision is made in this situation for the tensioner to be arranged adjacent to the side of the transporter facing away from the bundle.
  • the tensioner is arranged opposite the transporter, which transports the bundle, for example on a transport band, standing partially or fully upright, through the wrapper, beneath the transport plane established by the transport band of the transporter.

  • the guiding of a region of the rear end of the paper cutout into the tensioner in such a way that it applies tension to the paper cutout can in principle be in any desired manner.
  • the wrapper to comprise a guide rod which wraps the bundle into the paper cutout, and which is formed in such a way that it brings the paper cutout, in the region of its rear end, into contact with the tensioner.
  • the use of the guide rod to transfer the region of the rear folded end of the paper cutout into the tensioner makes it possible for additional components on wrapper to be avoided.
  • the movement path of the guide rod guiding the paper cutout around the bundle is advantageously synchronised with the tensioner in such a way that it brings the paper cutout into engagement with the tensioner in the region of its rear end, where it is then taken up by the tensioner and can be pretensioned in such a way that a taut contact of the paper cutout is established on the bundle.
  • the movement path of the guide rod and/or of the tensioner can be aligned in relation to the movement path of the guide rod in such a way that the paper cutout is transferred into the tensioner by a stroking movement of the guide rod.
  • a reliable interaction can be ensured of the tensioner with the paper cutout, and therefore a reliable taut arrangement of the paper cutout on the bundle.

  • This embodiment of the invention allows the guide rod to be subjected to compressed air when it is arranged with the paper cutout in contact in the region of the tensioner.
  • the imposition of compressed air on the guide rod leads to the paper cutout in contact with the guide rod being displaced by the compressed air emerging from the compressed air openings in the direction onto the tensioner, where it is then gripped by the tensioner and can be pretensioned against the transport direction of the grouped individual packages.
  • the use of compressed air openings in accordance with this further embodiment of the invention ensures in a particularly reliable manner an interaction of the tensioner with the paper cutout, and therefore a taut arrangement of the paper cutout on the grouped individual packages.

  • the duration of the securing of the paper cutout by the tensioner depends in this case on the material properties of the paper cutout being used, since this must not exceed a tension which could lead to damage to the paper cutout. Due to this, the securing of the paper cutout in the tensioner is imposed for only a limited period of time, and/or the securing of the paper cutout in the tensioner takes place in such a way that it is guided out of the tensioner with the pretension being maintained in relation to the transporter, in order to exert an adequate tension on the paper cutout for an extended period.
