Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of "water-soluble containers", both of individual containers or also simultaneously of several water-soluble containers with multiple and different filling capacities for example from 1 ml to 10 litres, which containers which may be filled with various kinds of products, such as fluids and/or liquid products, gels and/or liquid products having a high density, powders and/or granular products of various types, paste-type products and/or solid products, and which may in a necessary and sufficient degree be “secure” under the aspect of their resistance against rupture or breakage and/or seepage of the product (s) contained in them, and this until the time of their final use.
  • products such as fluids and/or liquid products, gels and/or liquid products having a high density, powders and/or granular products of various types, paste-type products and/or solid products
  • the products contained in the "water-soluble containers” are released “solely as a result of the dissolution of the packaging material in the presence of water” ; therefore the invention may be utilised and/or applied to most variegated uses and business sectors and product types, such as: detergents and domestic cleaning agents; deodorants and sanitises; cosmetic and personal hygiene preparations.
  • the particular interest of the invention lies in several potential applications thereof, such as the option of: filling all the containers with a single kind of product (product X) , filling some with one product (product X 1 ) and others with a different product (product Y) , filling a same container with different products, at first product X and later on product Y, filling the containers with products of two or more phases (i.e., product X + product Y) , being able to handle simultaneously, in a single filling step, containers different both in shape and in quantity of product contained therein.
  • the invention moreover permits to apply the process to most variegated kinds of shape, both regular and irregular, as well as the realisation of shapes encompassing: objects of common and/or daily use, such as flasks and/or bottles, cups and various containers, tubes and cans or jars, boxes/packages, etc. objects and/or shapes demanded in aesthetic terms by marks and/or products of the market.
  • Figs. 1 to 8 show the four respective views of several exemplary containers.
  • the present invention does not have the single objective of realising "containers of water- soluble material", but rather has a broader and twofold objective, i.e.: a) a diversified handling and thus an improvement of the actual problems of thermoforming materials of the water-soluble type which, given their peculiarity, pose difficulties of treatment and stability and therefore require particular attention in their handling, not only during production, but also during their subsequent confectioning and storage; b) but also to obtain, in the scope of a single thermoforming process, the "simultaneous" creation of the "water- soluble container” and of a practical and exclusive system of a "flat base and dome-shaped body" of semirigid and/or rigid and/or semi-flexible material, either of the "nonpeelable” or “peelable” type and which, as it assumes precisely the same shapes of the water- soluble container, in turn is conceivable as: a primary container for the protection of the water- soluble container
  • the invention consists in having resolved, in a single processing step, several of the more critical aspects of such water-soluble containers, such as on the one hand the need for an even better protection (given their inherent fragility) , on the other hand facilitation of the packaging process, and consequently the resulting and quite considerable optimisation of confectioning costs.
  • the invention allows to obtain the following improvements : both through the "formation of the pouch, formation of the container, filling and closing of the water- soluble container", all in a single production process, and through the use of three (3) materials (designated in Fig. 9 by "Bl”, “B2”, “B3”): these materials have the characteristic of both "B2" and “B3" being materials of the water-soluble type and therefore
  • FIG. 9 is a schematic view which illustrates by way of example the process of manufacturing water-soluble containers according to the invention.
  • the main characteristic of the invention consists in the combined use of three different materials in the form of rolls, but above all the obligatory use of two of these ("Bl" and "B2") in combination for thermoforming the pouch which then is intended for filling with the product.
  • Products Bl and B2 may also in advance be compounded in a single roll.
  • Material "Bl” preferably is a polypropylene/polyethylene compound material, however it may also be another kind of material and compounded (in 2, 3, or more layers) which may furthermore be used in the process, such as polyester, PVC, polyester/polyethylene, polyester/polypropylene, metallised polypropylene, etc.
  • Material “B2” is a material preferably of PVAL (polyvinyl alcohol) , and thus a material which is soluble upon contact with water; also other kinds of materials, which are also soluble in water, may be used in the process ; moreover in accordance with the final uses it is possible to utilise materials that are soluble in water but also compounded with other materials which do not permit “peeling", such as cardboard, aluminium, plastics, etc.
  • PVAL polyvinyl alcohol
  • Material “B3” is, just like in the case of “B2", a material preferably of PVAL (polyvinyl alcohol) , and therefore soluble upon contact with water; also other kinds of materials, which are also soluble in water, may be used in the process; moreover in accordance with the final uses it is possible to utilise materials which are soluble in water but also compounded with other materials that do not permit "peeling", such as cardboard, aluminium, plastics, etc .
  • PVAL polyvinyl alcohol
  • the process for producing the containers takes place with the aid of a horizontal-type method of conveying the materials, where the sequence of the single processing steps is the following: a) uncoiling the first two (2) different materials, “Bl” and “B2”: these are or are not compounded with each other, but are wound and transported simultaneously, one superposed on the other, and are both simultaneously involved in the step of thermoforming the containers .
  • Material “Bl” is used as a first layer and thus in direct contact with the "female” moulding die; when the processing is concluded, this material constitutes the above described "dome-shaped body structure" that is not soluble in water and thus has a function of containing the actual water-soluble container.
  • Material “B2”, which is of water- soluble PVAL, constitutes the lower part of the water- soluble container; in the thermoforming process it enters into contact with the "male” mould and then enters into direct contact with the product for filling.
  • Both materials "Bl” and “B2" are initially preheated until the temperature suitable for forming is attained, which temperature may vary, both owing to the kinds and the thicknesses of the used materials, through a temperature range which may span from a minimum of 90° to a maximum of 280° (cf. 1 in Fig. 9) ;
  • the following step provides the "cutting" (cf. 6 in Fig. 9) with the aid of a suitable predisposed punching tool for the purpose of obtaining three different objectives :
  • this particular perforation has the further purpose of acting as an element for facilitating maintaining contact between material "Bl” and the water-soluble container (i.e., the two materials “B2" and “B3" welded to each other) until the time of use of this water-soluble container;

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de conteneurs solubles dans l'eau par thermoformage, deux matériaux différents (B1, B2) étant utilisés de manière combinée, l'un d'eux étant soluble dans l'eau et l'autre non. Ce procédé consiste à thermoformer simultanément la poche destinée à être remplie de produit. Selon l'invention, un troisième matériau (B3), soluble dans l'eau, est utilisé dans la fabrication du conteneur, ce troisième matériau servant à la fermeture par soudage.
