Definitions

  • Packing or filling materials made of loose foamed plastic particles are known and are used in large quantities. The main reasons for this are their freedom from dust, resistance to moisture and mold, abrasion resistance and their inert behavior towards the packaged goods as well as their low weight.
  • plastic particles are usually made available as compact, blowing agent-containing, non-foamed granules and are only foamed to the final shape by known methods in the packaging plant.
  • the effect of the foamed plastic particles as packaging material is based on the fact that they interlock or interlock with each other after the packaging goods have been embedded and also include a large void volume.
  • the void volume is the volume enclosed, but not filled, by the particles when the material is poured into the pile. This creates a kind of "resilient shell” around the goods.
  • the mutual interlocking with the simultaneous formation of a large void volume is particularly important in order to prevent the packaged article from "wandering" through the packaging particles as a result of the transporter vibration and to achieve an optimal permanent "spring effect".
  • the particles forming the packaging material In contrast to the ability to interlock with other particles and thereby form a large void volume, there is a requirement that the particles forming the packaging material also have good flow properties.
  • the light, foamed plastic particles are usually made from storage silos inserted into the respective packaging containers in free fall. To this end, the particles must be able to flow freely, since otherwise the particles become "bridged" in the storage bunker and the uniform outflow and thus the quantity metering of the particles is disturbed or prevented. In the case of fully automatic packaging systems in particular, this leads to sensitive faults.
  • the packaging material Attempts have been made to meet these contradicting requirements for the packaging material by a specific shape of the foamed plastic particles, that is to say, with a large void volume and good interlocking or interlocking of the particles in the packaging container, at the same time to achieve good flowability when removed from the storage container.
  • the shape of the particles are: S-shape, Y-shape, star shape, wavy oblong or round leaflets, rings, slit rings, 8-shaped hollow bodies, spiral bodies, particles in the form of potato chips, hemispheres, saddle-shaped particles, dumbbell-shaped particles and flakes.
  • the object of the invention was therefore to avoid the disadvantages of the known particle shapes and, in particular, to provide foamed plastic granules which, after foaming, result in a packaging material which has good flow properties, good toothing properties and at the same time a large void volume of the bed.
  • the invention proposes a plastic granulate made of foamable particles in a star shape, which is characterized in that it mainly consists of particles which are derived from a star or cloverleaf-shaped base body with at least three legs lying in one plane, the Particles have at least one omission (hole).
  • the invention further relates to the use of these foamable plastic granules for the production of appropriately foamed packaging materials and to the foamed packaging materials themselves.
  • the number of legs is at least three, in particular three, four, five or six. According to the invention, preference is given to granular particles which have three or six legs.
  • the outlet (s) of the granule particles according to the invention can be located in one of the legs or in the center of the granule particles.
  • parts are preferred which have omissions in all legs; further preferred are those particles in which the omission is only in the center, which applies in particular to six-legged particles. If the omissions are only relatively small and their size is in the lower part of the ranges mentioned below, it may be advantageous in some cases to add an omission in the center of the ganulate particles in addition to the omissions in the legs.
  • the omissions are preferably predominantly round to oval or lenticular in shape; however, other shapes, such as polygons, for example triangles, quadrangles, hexagons, etc., are also possible in principle.
  • the size of these omissions is generally such that their area is about 25% to about 75%, preferably 30% to 60%, based on the respective leg area or the total area with only one omission in the center.
  • the diameter or the largest clear width of these omissions is usually 0.2 to 2.0 mm, preferably 0.3 to 1.5 mm.
  • the wall thickness (cutting length) of the granulate particles according to the invention is generally in the range from 2.5 to 7.0 mm, preferably 3.0 to 6.0 mm.

  • the corresponding preferred values are 4.5 to 6 mm (A), 4.5 to 5.5 mm (B) and 3 to 6 mm (C).
  • the angle ⁇ between the legs 1 and 2 expediently moves between 100 and 140 °, preferably 110 and 130 °.

  • the legs of the granulate particles according to the invention lie in one plane. Without departing from the scope of the invention, however, at least some of it can also have a slight curvature, for example in such a way that all the legs deviate from an imaginary plane in the same direction. In addition, in man Chen particles individual legs can also be curved opposite to each other.
  • the angle of curvature (deviation from the plane) is a maximum of 20 ', preferably a maximum of 10 °.
  • thermoplastics for the particles according to the invention are the thermoplastics commonly used for packaging materials, such as e.g. Styrene polymers, polyolefins such as polyethylene, VC polymers and the like. Polystyrene is preferably used.
  • This foamable, blowing agent-containing, compact plastic granulate is produced in a known manner by melting the plastic in an extrusion press, metering in a suitable blowing agent under pressure into the plastic melt, pressing out the blowing agent-containing melt through a corresponding star-shaped (cloverleaf-like) mold opening and subsequent granulation.
  • This mold opening is provided with mold cores (thorns), the shape and number of which corresponds to that of the desired omissions.
  • the strands emerging from the extrusion press are cooled rapidly, expediently by means of a water bath. The length of the cheapest water bath route and the withdrawal speed of the strands can easily be determined for the person skilled in the art by means of a few routine tests.
  • the chilled strands are then cut perpendicularly to the take-off direction into particles of the thickness specified above.
  • the strand temperature should expediently be chosen so that the proportion of dust and splinters when cutting is as low as possible.
  • the expandable particles formed in this way can be foamed to the packaging material bodies according to the invention by heating above their softening point, for example by steam. Usually this foaming only carried out at the consumer.
  • a chemical blowing agent can also be mixed into the plastic before extrusion, which releases gases, for example water vapor, carbonic acid or nitrogen, when heated.
  • the packaging material obtained consists predominantly, preferably more than 90% and in particular more than 95% of particles of the form described above, i.e. in the form of a star-shaped particle with three, four, five or more, preferably three or six legs lying in one plane, each leg having at least one opening (a hole). Slight deviations from the flat shape are also possible here, as described for the granulate particles.
  • the wall thickness of the particles of the packaging material according to the invention is generally 8 to 20 mm, preferably 10 to 16 mm, the wall thickness generally being greatest in the center of the particle and falling towards the edge regions. Under certain circumstances, this drop can be up to 70 x, in particular up to 50%.
  • the dimensions (A '), (B') and (C ') in the case of three-legged particles are usually 16 to 40 mm, 16 to 40 mm and 8 to 20 mm.
  • the corresponding preferred values are 20 to 38 mm (A '), 18 to 36 mm (B') and 10 to 18 mm (C ').
  • the angle a 'between the legs 2 and 4 (FIG. 3) expediently moves between 100 and 140 °, preferably 100 and 130 °.
  • the ratio of (A ') to (B') is 1: 0.4 to 1: 2.5, preferably 1: 0.5 to 1: 1.8, the ratio of (A ') to (C ') 1: 0.2 to 1: 1.25, preferably 1: 0.26 to 1: 0.9 and the ratio (B') to (C ') 1: 0.2 to 1: 1 , 25, preferably 1: 0.25 to 1: 1.
  • the dimensions, angles and proportions of the four-, five-, six- and multi-legged particles are quite corresponding.
  • the omissions in the packaging material particles are - corresponding to those in the granulate particles - preferably round, oval and / or lenticular and are preferably found on all legs or only the center preferably has an omission.
  • the area of this omission (s) is generally about 25% to about 75%, preferably 30% to 60%, based on the respective leg surfaces or on the total area.
  • the diameter or the largest clear width of this omission (s) is usually 3 to 15 mm, preferably 6 to 12 mm.
  • the center of the packaging material particles may also have an omission.
  • the size of the omissions in the packaging material particles, as also in the granulate particles is not critical and can assume values that are larger or smaller than the percentages given above, but then with certain disadvantages.
  • the surface of the packaging material particles contains a more or less large number of cracks (craters), which are caused by the escaping blowing agent.

  • the measuring cup described under 1) was filled with packaging particles in free fall with the aid of the test funnel also described under 1). During the filling process, the measuring cup was continuously pushed onto a solid surface at short intervals until no further volume contraction of the bed took place. The measuring cup was then wiped off with a ruler. The net weight divided by 10 gave the bulk density of the shaken bed in grams per liter.
  • the above measuring cup was filled with packaging particles as described under 1). After painting over the top of the measuring cup with a ruler the measuring cup is closed with a wire strainer. Then the measuring cup was immersed in water and rotated on all sides so that all the voids in the bed filled with water. The volume of water required to fill the cavities corresponded to the cavity volume of the unshaken bed.
  • Said measuring cup was, as listed under 2), filled and shaken to the tightest particle packing.
  • the measuring cup was then immersed in water and rotated on all sides so that all of the cavities were filled with water.

  • the cylinder hitting with the horizontal longitudinal axis only caused a short-term deformation of the packing material particle bed and then jumped back dampened from the level of the filling level.
  • the steel cylinder only slightly penetrated the bed the second time it hit the bed, but remained fixed in this position (Table 1, packing material I).
  • the distance from the level of the filling level to the penetrated lower metal line of the steel cylinder is given as the penetration depth in cm.
  • This assessment criterion makes it easy to differentiate the packing and fixing properties of packing materials. If there is no spring-back when the steel cylinder hits the bed for the first time, the depth of penetration is always greater than that of packing materials which, due to their good interlocking and cushioning properties, force the steel cylinder to spring back and only very small depths of penetration on the bed of the second or third impact result from the springback.
  • Table 1 shows that the packaging material particles I according to the invention are superior to the particles A in terms of bulk density, void volume, cylinder drop test, penetration depth and trickle time.
