Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a packing machine in which sealed packaging containers or packages are formed from a packaging material web. In particularly it concerns means to form embossments on the packaging containers. It also concerns a method of processing the packaging material web.
  • the packaging material is normally a flexible packaging laminate which comprises a carrier or core layer of fi- bre material, e.g. paper, which is coated on each side with relatively thin layers of thermoplastic material, such as polyethylene.
  • the packaging laminate may also include further material layers, such as barrier layers of metal or other barrier materials in order to provide improved pro- tection against light or oxygen when particularly sensitive products are to be packed.
  • a packing or filling machine In the manufacture of the packaging containers a packing or filling machine is normally used, which stepwise reforms a packaging laminate web into separate filled pack- aging containers.
  • the packaging laminate is provided with a pattern of folds or crease lines to facilitate the forming of the packaging containers.
  • the packaging laminate web is normally fed from a roll via a number of guide rolls to a filling station and to a final forming. In this process the packaging laminate is reformed into filled and sealed packaging containers having a parallelepipedic form.
  • US 6,446,858 suggests providing the packaging material with longitudinal crease lines in order to increase rigidity and appearance of the package.
  • the in- creases in rigidity have been rather limited and in several cases not justifying the increased cost for the packaging laminate.
  • One object of the present invention is to increase the strength of the formed packaging containers and thereby be able to reduce the amount of material used. This is achieved in that the packaging containers formed are strengthened by means of embossments. Thanks to the emboss- ments the material of which the packaging containers are formed may be thinner and still have the same strength as packaging containers of a thicker material but not having any embossments.
  • the emboss- ments include defined longitudinal corners or edges of the packaging containers .
  • the reinforced vertical package edges are created after that the packing material web has passed the last guide roller breaking the material web in a longitudinal direction.
  • the material web has no longitudinal crease lines, only crease lines for folding of the top and bottom of the formed package .
  • the material web will pass a sterilizing bath and an aseptic chamber just before filling.
  • the material web In the sterilizing bath and the asep- tic chamber the material web is heated, normally to a temperature of 60-70 0 C, in some cases the temperature may be as high as 100 0 C.
  • the embossing station is placed in or just below the aseptic chamber, which means that the material is hot when reaching the embossing station.
  • the packaging tube is filled, which will cool the material web.
  • the heating and the subsequent cooling will establish and keep the embossing.
  • the increased strength is achieved in that embossments are formed on the packing material web, after this has been formed into a tube, and that the material of the embossments is stretched in the cross direction.
  • the stretching should not exceed 1-1.5% in order not to harm the material web.
  • the material web should not pass any rollers bending the material web after the embossing and stretching.
  • the lignin polymer of the carrier or core layer of the material web that gives the effect that the embossments are made more or less per- manent in the material when it is heated up and stretched.
  • the pulp of which the carrier of the material web is formed contains a certain percentage of lignin.
  • embossments are such that the packaging container becomes pleasing to grab and hold. Furthermore, the embossments of the packaging container should be aesthetically appealing. A person skilled in the art re- alises that the number of embossments as well as their placement and form may vary. Such variation may be due to desired strength, aesthetic considerations etc.

  • the product is filled in the tube, whereby the material web is cooled to about 20 °C.
  • the product level inside the filling pipe 9 is indicated at 76.

  • the material web 2 does not pass any guide rollers redirecting the material web 2 after that the embossments have been made.
  • the material tube 7 passes a number of square, tube forming rollers 77 after the tube has been embossed.

  • Fig. 20 a profile formed by the embossing unit of Figs. 18, 19a and 19b is shown.
  • the profile has an embossment 71 at each corner and opposing embossments 72, having a wave form, at one end of the sides of a formed packaging container.
  • outer embossing rollers 74 are placed just below the aseptic chamber 8 and can be released from the tube when necessary.
  • the embossing rollers 74 act against an inner support 75 on the inside of the material tube 7, giving a radial counter pressure on the material tube 7.
  • Below the aseptic chamber 8 the material tube 7 is reformed from a circular form to a paral- lelepipedic form.
  • Support rollers 77 for the parallelepi- pedic form are placed between the embossing rollers 74 and a semi package jaw mechanism 78. Finally the material tube 7 is transversally sealed, formed and cut to separate packaging containers 83.
  • the units, such as volume flaps 85 and forming sta- tions 86 placed below the embossing tools should be adapted to the form of the embossments, in order to support the material tube 7 and the formed packaging containers and not impair the embossments.
  • a certain increase of stiffness is also achieved by means of a positive pressure of about 0.5 bars when forming and sealing the containers in the volume flap 85 and forming stations 86.
  • the embossing unit is placed just under the aseptic chamber 8.
  • the embossing is made directly on the circular, formed material tube 7.
  • five outer embossing tools 79 in the form of rollers are placed in a circular form surrounding the material tube 7.
  • Five inner embossing tools 80 are placed on the inside of the material tube 7 for cooperation with the outer embossing tools 79.
  • the inner and outer embossing tools 79, 80 are placed at the ends of plate springs 81 and 82, respectively.
  • the embossing tools 79, 80 may be moved to and from the material tube 7 by displacement means, normally acting on these plate springs 81, 82. By means of the plate springs 81, 82 the embossing tools 79, 80 will give radial forces to the material tube.
  • Figs. 25 and 26 one example of an embossed packaging container 83, provided with embossments 84 according to the present invention is shown.
  • the emboss- ments 84 are given a sinusoidal form in cross section.
  • the geometry of embossments may be given other cross section forms, in order to get an optimal stiffness, especially regarding the four important vertical edges of the container.
  • the embossment rollers and means controlling the position and driving of the embossing rollers may be varied in many different ways.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une machine d’emballage (1) dans laquelle des emballages hermétiques sont formés à partir d'une bande de matériau d’emballage (2), et un procédé de traitement de la bande de matériau d’emballage (2). La machine d’emballage (1) comprend un moyen de gaufrage placé dans une chambre aseptique (8) ou au-dessous de celle-ci, et au-dessus du niveau du produit (76). Avant le gaufrage, la bande de matériau d’emballage (2) est chauffée à une température d'au moins 60 °C. Le chauffage a normalement lieu dans une chambre aseptique (8). Après le gaufrage, la bande de matériau d'emballage (2) est refroidie à une température d’environ 20°C. Le refroidissement est normalement obtenu en remplissant les emballages hermétiques des produits.
