Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved packaging machine.
  • Vacuum packaging machines are known in the art: in general, packaging through such machines occurs by introducing the product to be packaged inside an envelope made of plastic material or a vessel suitable for vacuum packaging, and by placing the envelope containing the product inside a decompression chamber composed of a tank and a basculating bell comprising elements adapted for welding the envelope or the vessel and for keeping vacuum inside such tank.
  • a suction cycle is started by means of a pump.
  • the remaining pressure inside the vacuum chamber can reach 2 mBar absolute: at that time, welding is performed together with welding of the envelope containing the product by using the same pressure difference between the decompression chamber interior and the atmosphere through membranes connected to the welding bars of the basculating bell and to a solenoid valve.
  • atmospheric air enters into the decompression chamber and the atmospheric pressure allows to completely adhere the envelope to the packaged product, at the same time guaranteeing welding of the package: in fact, should the package be opened or damaged, the envelope would not adhere any more to the packaged product, alerting the possible purchaser of the product.
  • object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing an improved packaging machine equipped with communication means connected to processing means and to printing means, such as for example a label- printing machine, that allows applying labels onto newly packaged products, such labels including, among other things, information related to traceability of the products themselves.
  • an object of the present invention is providing an improved packaging machine equipped with access openings that allow a better access by an operator to the machine sides.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing an improved packaging machine equipped with at least one window or hole suitable to allow the immediate and practical control of the oil level for a pump of such machine.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing, an improved packaging machine equipped with at least one lamellar transformer as replacement of the traditional transformer, allowing to obtain a more compact machine and to guarantee a better operating regularity.
  • an object of the present invention is providing an improved packaging machine equipped with protecting means against overheating of the welding bars .
  • an object of the present invention is providing an improved packaging machine equipped with means for optimally regulating the air speed when re-entering into the decompression chamber, in order not to impair the stability of the envelopes in favour of the final aesthetic result of the package .

  • Figures 5a and 5b respectively show a top perspective view and a side view of another preferred embodiment of the improved packaging machine according to the present invention.
  • Figures 6a and 6b respectively show two side views of another preferred embodiment of the improved packaging machine according to the present invention.
  • Figures 7a and 7b respectively show a top perspective view and a side view of another preferred embodiment of the improved packaging machine according to the present invention.
  • the improved packaging machine 1 is composed of a supporting and containing structure 3, obviously adapted to contain therein all functional members of the machine 1, that are substantially known in the art, and possibly to externally support at least one command and control panel 5 of the operation of the machine 1, such supporting and containing structure 3 comprising at least one decompression chamber 7 for a vacuum packaging of a product, for example inside an envelope made of plastic material or another suitable vessel, such chamber 7 being composed of at least one tank covered by at least one basculating bell 9 adapted for welding the open edges of such envelope, preferably through perimeter welding bars with which such bell is equipped .
  • the packaging machine 1 is equipped with communication means connected to processing means and to printing means (suich as a printer or a label-printing machine) .
  • communication means can be at least one communication port of the RS-232 type, through which it is possible to take, from the machine, operating packaging data, such as packaging date, expiry date of the packaged product, operator code, batch number, packaging data (percentages of vacuum, gas, pressure, welding time, etc.) in order to be afterwards processed by such processing means and such printing means.
  • the external printing means such as for example the label- printing machine
  • the packaging machine 1 can be equipped with at least one housing seat 21 suitable for housing therein such printing means, and in particular the printer or the label-printing machine.
  • the communication means are arranged next to such housing seat 21.
  • the application then of the printing of an adhesive label integrated with the machine 1 according to the present invention is a major item to guarantee the packaging: in fact, once that suitable means of the machine 1 have detected the above operating packaging data, all or part of such data are transmitted to the processing means and to the printing means through the communication means; in particular, such data can be transmitted to the label-printing machine, which includes them on a printout on an adhesive label that will be applied onto the envelope containing the product. In this way, the warranty of the vacuum packaged product is not limited to its package, but is also given by the traceability of the product itself.
