Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for filling cups, and to an apparatus for filling cups. b. Related Art
  • Some known machines for filling cups with liquid products work on an index/dwell principle in which the cups are moved to a first station and are stationary (“dwell”) while an operation (for example, filling with liquid) is carried out. The cups are then moved to, and held stationary at, a subsequent station at which another operation (for example applying foils to the cups) is carried out.
  • This method limits the output of the machine due to intermittent movement of the cup with liquid. The lower the viscosity of the liquid, the slower the index needs to move, and therefore the slower the output rate.
  • linear machines typically have slats with holes for receiving cups.
  • the slats are bolted to a drive chain and movement of the chain moves the slats.
  • the normal output of a four-lane linear machine is up to about 200 cups per minute depending on liquid viscosity. If cup sizes need to be changed, there is considerable downtime while the previous slats are unbolted and replacement slats are bolted on.
  • rotary index/dwell machines can be used, in which cups are received in holes disposed around a rotatable annulus or wheel.
  • the annulus or wheel can be replaced quicker than can the slats on a linear machine, but maximum output is typically lower, about 150 cups per minute.
  • cups are moved continuously along a path, without dwelling at the stations. Cups may be added to a conveyor, filled, sealed with a foil and removed from the conveyor without interrupting the movement of the conveyor. In these cases, the speed of movement is again limited by the viscosity of the liquid, and also the speed at which empty cups can be loaded and filled cups can be unloaded at the start and end of the path respectively. Examples of such machines are described for example in US 4042148, WO 2016/088023, EP 1759996 and WO 2015/121838.
  • the present invention resides in a method of filling cups, the method comprising:
  • the cup filling apparatus may be made to operate faster and more flexibly than conventional linear or rotary machines that use index/dwell operation.
  • the CWM 200L four-lane linear machine from CWM Automation Ltd, is capable of filling and sealing up to 200 cups/min;
  • the CWM 150R rotary machine, from CWM Automation Ltd is capable of filling and sealing up to 150 cups/min.
  • Apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention with four lanes and a smaller footprint, is capable of filling and sealing up to 240 cups/min regardless of viscosity.
  • the inventive apparatus is preferably chainless, which produces less wear. Cup holders can be readily mounted and dismounted, providing quick changeover between different packing sizes compared with conventional linear machines.
  • the method may further comprise moving the nozzles upwards as they dispense product to the cups, to maintain a constant distance between each nozzle and the surface of the product in each cup.
  • the product is preferably a liquid, but may be a powder, a foam or any other flowable material.
  • the cup holders are moved at constant speed from the first position to the third position.
  • the cup holder may be held stationary at the third position when removing the sealed cups.
  • the method further comprises returning the cup holder to the first position after removal of the sealed cups.
  • the method may comprise, while the cup holder is moving to the second or third position, moving a further cup holder with a plurality of cup-receiving sites to the first position. In these ways, the apparatus can operate substantially continuously.
  • the method may further comprise repeating steps (a) to (f) for the further cup holder.
  • the method may comprise repeating these steps continuously for subsequent cup holders.
  • the method may further comprise moving the cup holder to a service area, where the cup holder can be inspected or removed and replaced, for example to provide cup receiving sites of a different size.
  • the method may comprise moving each of the plurality of cup holders to the service area, for example to gather all of the cup holders together in the service area or to bring the cup holders to the service area in quick succession.
  • the method may comprise dispensing a cup from the cup dispenser to each of the cup-receiving sites on at least two cup holders simultaneously while holding the at least two cup holders stationary in the first position.
  • the method may comprise removing the sealed cups from each of at least two cup holders simultaneously while holding the at least two cup holders stationary in the third position.
  • the at least two cup holders may be spaced apart during movement from the first position to the third position as the cups are filled and sealed, and the spacing may be reduced between the at least two cup holders at the first position and/or the third position.
  • the invention provides an apparatus for filling cups, the apparatus comprising:

  • Actuation of the cup dispenser 10 causes a cup 42 to drop into each cup-receiving site 8.
  • the cup holders 6 After receiving the cups, the cup holders 6 are moved with constant motion to a second position towards the outfeed transporter.

The cups do not dwell at the second position. In this way, the transit speed of the cups from the first to the third position is maximised.
  • cup holders dwell (i.e. are temporarily stationary) at the first position, cups can be dispensed from the cup dispenser in a repeatable and safe manner.
  • the stacks of cups in the dispenser can readily and safely be replenished, since the stacks are substantially static.
  • removal of the cups from the cup holders while the cup holders dwell at the third position minimises potential damage to the filled cups.
  • Independent movement of the cup holders allows the dispensing and removal steps to be performed with pairs of cups holders simultaneously, which mitigates the delay caused by the dwell time at these stations.
  • lids may be applied after sealing of the foils and before the cups are deposited on the outfeed transporter.
  • steps are performed while the cup holders are in motion, although it is also possible to introduce further dwell points if desired.
  • the apparatus 2 can be readily re-configured for use with cups of different sizes, by causing all of the cup holders 6 to move to a service area.
  • the service area may be a part of the track 4 between the cup dispenser and the release assembly, or may be a dedicated area accessed by a branch of the main track 4.
  • the cup holders 6 can be quickly and conveniently removed and replaced with other cup holders with different sized cup receptacles.
  • cup dispenser filling mechanism, foil dispenser, sealing unit and release assembly described above are examples only, and that any other suitable arrangements could be used instead.
  • a static foil dispenser could be used that dispenses foils onto the cups as they pass beneath the foil dispenser.
  • a static sealing unit for example with a heated roller, could be used to seal the foils to the cups.
