- FIG. 1 shows a packaging line known in principle 11, which is a banding station 12, a shrink tunnel 15 and has an outlet station 16. Through these stations a multi-sectioned belt conveyor 17 runs through it Objects 18 successively in the direction D through the individual stations. Details on this, especially the Banding station 12, for example EP 718 198 A1 or the known prior art. Noteworthy is only that in the banding station 12th from two shrink film webs 23, 24, made of supply rolls 25 and 26 processed above and below the conveyor level 17 a film curtain is formed. In these The object 18 is pushed into the film curtain. The possibly film that is fed in synchronously with the movement lies in the embodiment closely around the front edge and over the Top and bottom of the object up to the rear edge out.
- the film webs are made by a further device 23 and 24 separated and on the separated sides welded together.
- the object 18 is thereby with surrounded by a closed band, the front and Trailing edge each has a weld seam and provisionally on both Sides is open, there the film is a good deal protrudes beyond the side edges.
- the objects 18 run in the Shrink tunnel 15 into it. There is described on below Way the film shrunk onto the object and possibly connected to a closed bag. The one from the Shrink tunnel 15 emerging items 18 are in the Outlet station 16 taken over and transported on.
- FIG. 2 shows schematically one possible embodiment for a shrink tunnel 15 with a discharge device arranged in front of it 40, being in a substantially usual manner is provided with heating. A revolution is on many Ways to achieve.
- the heating shows schematically shown an air circulator 27 including drive 28, the Air is extracted from inside the shrink tunnel 15 and inside a channel 30 past tubular heaters 31. Subsequently the heated air can return to the inside of the Shrink tunnels 15 enter, via hot air outlets 55 on the side walls and / or the ceiling or the floor of the Shrink tunnels.
- the hot air outlets are mostly like blinds provided in hot air ducts 56 and with respect to direction and passage cross section adjustable.
- outlet nozzles 38 are arranged on the portal 33, which are also connected to the connecting line 35 are.
- the outlet nozzles 38 run obliquely against the Passage direction D and are essentially towards the center of the object 18 to be aligned. That means the two upper outlet nozzles point downwards, the lower outlet nozzle however, points obliquely upwards.
- the cross sections of the outlet openings or outlet nozzles should be relatively small, for example not larger than 2 cm, especially 2 - 3 mm.
- Relatively sharp air jets are considered advantageous because, on the one hand, they are more precise Enable application and on the other hand the introduced Volume is lower.
- An expansion of an air jet results from the distance of some alone Centimeter. The fast air also sweeps away the hot air.
- FIG. 3 is a further embodiment of a Shrink tunnel 15 shown schematically, with the help of this representation an execution possibility for a in the discharge device 40 attached to the shrink tunnel becomes.
- a in the discharge device 40 attached to the shrink tunnel becomes.
- the illustration of the air circulator 27 together with channel 30 for heating of the shrink tunnel 15 has been dispensed with. It goes without saying that the shrink tunnel 15 in Fig. 3 such heating assigned.
- Distribution channels 41 are along the inner long sides of the shrink tunnel 15 Distribution channels 41 attached, which are essentially over extend its length.
- the upper distribution channel 41 has outlet openings 34 for the discharge of additionally introduced Air on.
- the lower distribution channel 41 has outlet nozzles 38 on that are aligned increasingly flatter in the direction of flow D. are.
- Another distribution channel 41 is indicated by dashed lines, which runs obliquely in the direction of flow D, in particular with decreasing height, not shown Have outlet openings 34 and / or outlet nozzles 38 can.
- the passage area of the object 18 is by means of further outlet nozzles 38 on a further distribution channel 41 acted upon.
- These outlet nozzles can be used with different Direction, as shown, the it is also possible to make them movable.
- the Distribution channel 41 running below the belt conveyor 17 can either run parallel to the direction D, or in one to the transport plane of the object parallel plane run obliquely.
- All distribution channels 41 are dash-dotted Connection line 35 with a compressed air line 36 or interconnected, the for the compressed air line 2 applies.
- a shut-off valve 42 is shown to the Compressed air supply to this distribution channel or its outlet openings and thus control the amount applied or to be able to park.
- Shut-off valves 42 of this type can each distribution channel 41, or the entire discharge device 40 assigned.
- Fig. 4 is an article 18 from a shrink wrap surrounded by an upper shrink film 23 and a lower shrink film sheet 24. On front and The foils are connected on the back with a weld seam 44. First, free areas 46 of the upper film web pressurized with compressed air in the direction of arrows B. This should first of all be done by gravity free areas of film hanging downwards against the lateral surfaces of the object 18 are created. The free film areas 48 of the lower web 24 are still in essentially flat on the base, for example one Belt conveyor.
- the air circulator 27, ie the hot air blower for the normal circulating air used for shrinking, can circulate in one embodiment approx. 2.7 m 3 / min, ie past the tubular heating elements 31 through the hot air channels 56, the hot air outlets 55 and the shrink tunnel interior back to the blower inlet .
- FIG. 6 shows how the lower areas of the film 48 up over the upper areas 46 and against the Sides of the object 18 are folded or placed. Similar as with the loading B is also with the loading C changed the direction more towards the horizontal, in particular only slightly upwards. This will make the film sheets or the free areas 46 and 48 in one for the Joining or welding the foil by hot air and preferably tightly closing the band setting held.
- Another advantage of an application C from below is that the connection area of the Foil webs at the opposite ends of the object, where the film webs together in the shrink tunnel be welded from the bottom edge of the object can be lifted upwards. So a sagging or sagging of this connection area avoided become.
- the object 18 inserted into a foil band if possible clean, evenly and completely enclosed or closed become.
- this can advantageously be done in the manner, for example a box is wrapped in wrapping paper.
- the film overhang is on one side of the object first on two opposite areas of one side placed or folded inwards against the object, then first on one of the remaining film areas and finally the last film area folded against the side of the item. The same is done on the opposite side of the Subject repeated.
- Fig. 7 is a top view of an object 18, of a sleeve made of an upper and lower shrink film 23 and 24 is wrapped.
- the modified is shown in dashed lines Acting direction E to the film areas as in a To be able to perform folding as desired.
- a pre-fold first the lateral foil areas has the advantage that here for two opposite areas on one side the same Conditions apply, unlike a hanging one Area 46 and a flat area 48.
- Dog ears in principle Dog ears
- a particularly advantageous example provides, however, through the improved shrinkage of the Film shrink this smooth, especially the shrinkability 100% use of the foils to create an appealing To achieve optics of the packaging.
- Air especially if it should be cold of the total air introduced, which is hot air, is low should be, especially in the range of a few percent. Thereby the change in the desired temperature is introduced by Cold air kept low. To enable good regulation, it should be modified accordingly.
- a possibility this consists, in particular, of an electrical one Heating device, for controlling semiconductor switches use. This enables, especially in connection with a zero-crossing control of the switching elements fast and frequent switching to responsive and precise control of the temperature in a desired range.
- the turbulence resulting from the additional exposure, in particular to cold air can improve the shrinkage of the film.
- the breakdown of the boundary layers through the swirling with additionally introduced air enables an improvement in the heat input into the film. It can thereby be achieved that the temperature at and thus in the film itself corresponds relatively exactly to the shrink tunnel temperature.
- the reduction in the temperature gradient enables the required temperature in the tunnel to be reduced and thus the energy consumption.
- the compressed air consumption is relatively low. In the above example, it is between 0.0275 and 0.11 m 3 / min, ie 1 to 5% of the amount of hot air circulated.
- the shrinking process can be used on the one hand for polyethylene film (PE film) and on the other hand adapted for polyolefin film (PO film) become.
- PE film polyethylene film
- PO film polyolefin film
- a temperature window is usually used for PO films 150 ° C - 180 ° C tunnel temperature used. About that melts the film. Even at 120 ° C - 130 ° C achieve shrinkage results according to the new process that otherwise only from 150 ° C (temperature measurement as above) explained) were possible. This enables immense energy savings.
- a shrink tunnel can be used for the same throughput build shorter (especially with less power) the same length or performance results in a higher throughput.
- the invention is also advantageous for packaging, at which the object is not only surrounded by a foil band, but is completely enclosed and welded in (full wrapping). There too, you can use the additional, possibly targeted High-speed air jets not only the film wrapping particularly even and visually appealing as well favorably affect strength, but also the Improve heat transfer on the film, so that shorter if necessary Shrink tunnels are possible.
