Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pouch for storing at least one substance, a packaging bag comprising said pouch and methods for manufacturing thereof .
- said packaging bag finds application in the field of packaging food products or pharmaceutical compounds.
- the substances stored in said packaging bag may be in liquid or powdered form.
- packaging bags may be provided empty (in this case, it is better to refer to "pouch") or already filled with the substance to store and equipped with a spout.
- the pouch is obtained by shaping flexible sheets material, such as plastic, coated paper or coated foil.
- solutions have been disclosed in which two sheets are stacked on each other and then sealed together in correspondence of a tract of the external perimeter of the sheets themselves. Another tract of the external perimeter is left unsealed in order to define an opening for inserting the spout.
- the portion of the spout inserted inside said opening which has the shape of a narrow lozenge, is then sealed to the edges of the sheets defining the opening.
- the empty pouch is then filled by introducing a nozzle through the free outlet (through which the user extracts the stored substance) of the spout. Finally, the free outlet of the spout is closed by a cap.
- the inner part of the pouch must be aseptic and hermetically separated from the outside in order to assure the maintenance of the properties of the stored substance.
- the solutions of prior art pose a high risk of pollution from external contaminants.
- the free outlet of the spout is blocked by the cap after the pouch has been filled.
- the application of the cap prevents the stored substance to pour out, it does not provide a hermetic barrier since small quantities of oxygen and light may pass through the outlet.
- a technical problem that arises is linked to the difficulties of sterilizing the spout due to its shape. Indeed, the lozange portion of the spout is not easy to be sterilized since it presents lots of sharp edges. In addition, the lozange portion of the spout, with its sharp edges, also arises sealing issues. Indeed, it is even more difficult to sterilize the spout (together with its closure or cap) after having applied it to the pouch .
- Another disadvantage of the known solutions is related to the necessity of sterilizing the whole packaging bag, including the spout, so leading to a high expenditure of time and costs. Indeed, for sterilizing pouch and spout, chemical agents or electron bombardment or gamma rays are commonly used.
- the technical task on which the present invention is based is to propose a pouch for storing at least one substance, a packaging bag comprising said pouch and methods for manufacturing thereof, which overcome the drawbacks of the aforementioned prior art.
- an object of the present invention is to propose a pouch for storing at least one substance and a method for manufacturing said pouch, in which complete aseptic conditions are easy and cheap to obtain .
- An additional object of the present invention is to propose a packaging bag for storing at least one substance and a method for manufacturing said packaging bag, in which issues related to sterilization of the spout are easily overcome.
- Another object of the present invention is to make available a packaging bag for storing at least one substance and a method for manufacturing said packaging bag, in which the spout is easily sealed to the pouch.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to make available a packaging bag for storing at least one substance and a method for manufacturing said packaging bag, in which time and costs of sterilization are decreased with respect to known solutions.
- a pouch for storing at least one substance a packaging bag comprising said pouch and methods for manufacturing therof, comprising the technical characteristics exposed in one or more of the appended claims.

- said free strip 8a is operatively joinable to a second wall 19b of the pouch 1 to obtain a sealed membrane 11 for closing a tillable aseptic housing 9 of the pouch 1.
- the second wall 19b is opposite to the first wall 19a.
- the sealed membrane 11, also referred to as first sealed membrane 11, is obtained in proximity of the outlet 2 so defining a seat 12 delimited by the sealed membrane 11 itself and by the free edges 3 of the pouch 1.
- the seat 12 is configured in such a way as to receive a spout 13.
- the free strip 8a of the first inner layer 6a is directly joinable to the second wall 19b.

- said second inner layer 6b is arranged inside the housing 9 in such a way as to be partly attached to the second wall 19b and to leave the free strip 8b detached from the pouch 1.
- each inner layer 6a, 6b is partly sealed to the correspondent outer layer 7a, 7b, leaving the free strips 8a, 8b detached from the pouch 1 in correspondence of the outlet 2.
- each inner layer 6a, 6b is sealed to the correspondent outer layer 7a, 7b along the main welding tract 10a and the side welding tracts 10b.
- the housing 9 is aseptically filled with a prefixed quantity of substance.
- the substance flows into the housing 9 through the outlet 2 (that is used both for filling and extracting the substance) .
- the housing 9 is divided into a plurality of rooms 16. Indeed, as illustrated in figure 6, different portions of the inner layers 6a, 6b are sealed together in order to obtain the second sealed membrane 15 dividing the housing 9 into the rooms 16.
- the rooms 16 are filled with as many different substances.
- the free strip 8a of said first inner layer 6a is directly sealed to the second wall 19b to obtain the first sealed membrane 11, so the pouch 1 passes to the sealed configuration. Therefore, the filled aseptic housing 9 is separated from seat 12. In particular, the seat 12 is not preserved from contamination .
- the spout 13 is placed inside the seat 12 and fixed thereto.
- the inlet opening 13b of the spout 13 is arranged inside the sealed membrane 11.
- the outlet opening 13a of the spout 13 is closed by the cap 17. If the blade is present, it faces the first sealed membrane 11 in such a way that the blade can be pushed towards the membrane 11 for excising it.
- the membrane 11 may be excised by a straw 18, as shown in figure 7.
- the characteristics of the pouch for storing at least one substance, of the packaging bag comprising said pouch and of the methods for manufacturing thereof, according to the present invention are clear, as are their advantages.
- the spout is provided to the packaging bag only after having filled the housing and having sealed it by the membrane, so sterilization issues concerning the spout are overcome.
- the filling step is carried out inserting a nozzle inside the pouch without passing through the spout (that has not been placed yet) . Therefore, since the only concern is about sterilizing the pouch and not the entire packaging bag, costs and time are decreased.
- the spout is easily sealed to the pouch. Indeed, the spout is placed in the (non aseptic) seat and sealed between the free edges of the pouch.
