Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging device for bags in packaging containers according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for packaging bags in Packaging container.
  • a generic packing device is known from DE 23 15 895 C2.
  • a filling tray for foil bags these are combined into packaging units and in packaging containers, e.g. Cardboard boxes packed for transport or sale.
  • the bags come e.g. Foil bags into consideration, which are sealed after filling and be closed with it.
  • For automatic packaging several bags are grouped together in a row and in receiving chambers transported to a delivery station by a transport device.
  • a group of bags is dropped into packaging containers, which are guided along by a conveyor below the transport device become.
  • the transport device is configured all around. On one of the first Dispensing stations opposite the second dispensing station become a second group dropped from bags into the packaging container so that the packaging container are filled with two partial fillings, the bags of each partial fill being one below the other are aligned equally.
  • the transport device is a circular carousel.
  • the conveying device is designed in such a way that that at least two packaging containers are transported in parallel can be.
  • the rotating transport device points in the area of the delivery stations rectilinear sections, in each case in the rectilinear delivery sections at least two delivery stations are arranged side by side.
  • the rectilinear delivery sections allow at least parallel delivery two sub-groups of bags in the same orientation. So there can be two next to each other introduced packaging containers can be loaded at the same time.
  • DE 23 15 895 C2 is a parallel filling of different packaging containers not possible, because between the individual receiving chambers an angle is formed and accordingly the orientation of the groups of bags contained therein are different.
  • a levy in parallel from a packaging device fed to a conveyor below the transport device is therefore not possible or can only be realized with a high level of design effort.
  • the dispensing of the bags is advantageously supported with the aid of ejection devices, the bags from the receiving chambers into the packaging containers underneath bump.
