Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing containers particularly suitable for containing liquids or viscous or granular fluids by using a film of heat-sealable flexible material.
  • Containers produced by means of a single- or multilayer film of flexible material and suitable to contain liquids, such as beverages or viscous fluids of various kinds, particularly foodstuffs, are known.
  • These packages are produced by folding and heat-sealing, along predefined lines and operating sequences, a sheet of heat-sealable flexible film unwound from a roll.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the known art, providing a method which allows to obtain a container having a predefined shape which substantially cannot be modified by the filling product.
  • an object is to provide a method which starts from a film which is not necessarily prepared beforehand with reinforced regions.
  • Another object is to provide a method which allows to use conventional machines and systems, albeit with appropriate modifications to the fixtures that are used.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a first embodiment of the method according to the invention, in which a film 11 of flexible and heat-sealable material is unwound stepwise from a roll 10.
  • the film passes through a forming collar 12 of an ordinary vertical forming machine, thus obtaining a tube 13 which has a rectangular cross-section and in which flaps 14 and 15 of the film 11 are made to overlap in a median region along a longitudinal band 16 on which a longitudinal heat-sealed portion 17 is provided which consolidates the tubular shape.
  • the central heat-sealed portion 17 is twice as wide as necessary, since, as described hereinafter, it is designed to obtain two containers arranged side by side.
  • the tube 13 can be formed, with particular machines, even without the presence of the forming collar 12, so that in the first step of the method a tube with a central longitudinal heat-sealed portion 17 is formed in any case.
  • a transverse heat-sealed portion 18 is formed, producing a bottom 19 of the container which, simultaneously with this operation, is filled from above with a liquid or in any case with a product to be packaged.
  • this heat-sealed portion 18 is twice as wide, since it also serves to close the upper part of the already-filled container 20 which had been formed before and filled during the continuous production step of the machine.
  • a transverse cut is also performed which separates the filled and closed container 20 from the one that will be formed subsequently.
  • the container now designated by the reference numerals 23a and 23b, is provided with a further central heat-sealed portion 24 which overlaps the existing heat-sealed portion 17 and forms two independent containers, which are also separated by a rotating blade 25 arranged in a median region of a heat-sealing roller 26.
  • Additional eccentric pushers 27 further help the insertion of the side of the container toward the inside of said container.
  • the median cut, designated by the reference numeral 28 in Figure 2, can be performed continuously, achieving complete separation of the two containers, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the cut 28 can be made as a line of small perforations or by means of a laser cut, which allows to keep the two containers 23a and 23b coupled to each other, although they can be easily separated at the time of use or sale.
  • the resulting container as shown in Figure 2, has two opposite faces which are directly heat-sealed by means of the heat-sealed portions 18 and 24 and has two other faces, i.e., the bottom now designated by the reference numeral 29 and the side designated by the reference numeral 30, which have an accordion-like shape which gives volume to said container.
  • Figure 3 illustrates another embodiment of the production of containers of the type shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • a film 101 is unwound from a roll 100 and passes through a forming collar 102 to form a tube 103 which is again blocked in the median region by a heat-sealed portion 107.
  • the embodiment entails that blade means 121 push the bottom 109 upward while the sides, now designated by the reference numeral 122, are pushed together and folded outward.
  • the two embodiments of the method described so far relate to vertical packaging machines in which filling with the product is performed directly in the machine during the forming of the container.
  • FIGS 4, 5 and 6 illustrate applications of the same process on horizontal machines which prepare the containers which are then filled in other steps and at different times.
  • a film 211 is unwound stepwise from a roll 210 and is folded so that two lateral flaps 212 and 213 of the film lie side by side in a median region 214.
  • the side-by-side arrangement might also be an overlap, although this is not necessary.
  • two internal accordion-like portions designated by the reference numerals 215 and 216 respectively, are formed laterally by folding the film itself.
  • This operation occurs horizontally, in the illustrated case, and advancement occurs practically continuously.
  • a transverse heat-sealed portion 217 is provided, forming the bottoms of the container.
  • bars designated by the reference numerals 218 and 219 respectively and arranged in direct contact with the container that is being formed, by means of suction holes, not shown, and of a system which generates vacuum, take the two faces of the film and move it away, for example by rotation, as shown schematically by 220 and 221.
  • the central heat-sealed portion now designated by the reference numeral 217a, is kept motionless, or moved backward, while the container being formed advances.
  • the bottom that is being formed is inserted in the container and when insertion is completed the bars, now designated by the reference numerals 218a and 219a, reposition the faces of the container so that they are mutually adjacent again while the bottom is comprised between them.
  • a pair of heat-sealing rollers 222 and 223 forms a double longitudinal heat-sealed portion 224 and 225 and an intermediate cut 226 which separates the two side-by-side containers, which are now designated by the reference numerals 227 and 228; the containers are collected in separate stacks 229 and 230 and are ready for subsequent filling.
  • the container has a substantially triangular accordion-like bottom 231, while on the opposite side, which is the upper side used for filling, a mouth 232 is left open in order to allow to insert the product.
  • a heat-sealing station is then provided in the filling machine, after the product has been introduced, which produces an upper heat-sealed portion 233 which permanently closes the container.
  • Figure 8 illustrates another embodiment of the method shown in Figure 5; the variation is introduced in the intermediate step, in which the bottom obtained by means of a transverse heat-sealed portion 317 is inserted between the folded flaps of the sheet during the advancement of said folded sheet by virtue of eccentric blade means designated by the reference numeral 318.
  • Wheels one of which is designated by the reference numeral 319, then flatten the resulting accordion-like portion, so as to be able to provide a double longitudinal heat-seal 320 and 321 by means of heat-sealing wheels 322 and 323, while a central rotating blade 324 produces a median cut 325 which separates the two containers, now designated by the reference numerals 326 and 327, which are collected in two stacks 328 and 329.
  • the containers thus obtained can be stored while waiting to be filled, or else they can pass directly to a carousel which opens their upper part, which has not yet been heat-sealed yet, and carries them to a filling machine and to a final heat-sealing operation for closure.
  • the film can be already prepared with weakened and pre-perforated regions for the insertion of a straw which can also be inserted again and removed, when necessary, from a weakened or peel-off region of a heat-sealed portion.
  • the cut that separates the containers can be complete or partial, so that two containers remain joined and can be subsequently divided by the user who has purchased them as a pair or at the time of sale.
  • the method is therefore simple to perform with equipped machines which do not modify the general structure of already-known machines.
