Definitions

  • the present invention relates to equipment and a method for the packaging of packets of products in bags.
  • the packaging of products grouped into sealed packets is currently effected using boxes, for example made of cardboard, in which the formed and sealed packets are inserted.
  • One of the main objectives of the present invention consists in providing equipment and a method for the automated and optimized packaging of packets of products into bags.
  • the Applicant has found that it is possible to effect the packaging of packets inside bags by means of equipment for the packaging of packets of products in bags comprising a bag forming device, a transfer line of the formed bags by means of a conveyor with independent trolleys or drawers or independent compartments, a feeding line of packets of products, an accumulation and desynchronization area, a filling station operating by means of an insertion device of the packets into bags, and a closing station of the bags filled with packets.
  • An aspect of the present invention relates to equipment for the packaging of packets of products into bags, according to what is specified in claim 1.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for the packaging of packets of products into bags according to what is indicated in claim 7.
  • the equipment according to the invention can naturally be used for any kind of products, packed inside a package 11 of the rigid or soft type, and can operate in combination with any insertion apparatus, operating from above.
  • the equipment according to the invention can be electively used in the field of the packaging of fragrant and aromatic food products, such as tea which, once inserted in bags, is first sealed inside packets 11 and is then packed into bags 12 having a limited rigidity.
  • the bags 12 are made of plastic materials such as polyethylene for food or similar, and have a limited rigidity which allows self-sustainment in an open position and in elevation.
  • the bag 12 preferably has a substantially parallelepiped form with side walls 12a positioned parallel to the translation direction of the bags and front walls 12b, transversal to said direction.
  • the equipment according to the invention is described with reference to a single production line, in industrial applications, however, it can be made up of a series consisting of parallel production lines, and various rows of overlying packets can be inserted inside the bags.
  • the number of lines or packets to be inserted into each bag can obviously vary according to the production demands and in relation to the dimensions of the products.
  • the bag forming device 13 produces bags in continuous availing of one or more forming heads in relation to the production demands.
  • the formed bags 12 are then positioned on independent trolleys 16 integral with the transfer line 14 and reach an accumulation and desynchronization area 20 where they are accumulated until they reach the necessary number.
  • the sealed packets 11 already containing the products are contemporaneously fed in a substantially similar manner onto the feeding line 15.
  • Said feeding line 15 envisages the accumulation of packets in a number equal to the bags which are accumulated along the line 14.
  • the accumulation area 20 allows a number of products and bags to be accumulated, which is higher than the number of products and bags contemporaneously processed by the filling station 30 so as to form a lung which allows the asynchronous functioning of the bag forming station 13, of the packet feeding line 15 and filling station 30.
  • This system makes it possible to operate contemporaneously on a high number of packets and bag to effect the filling of the bags with packets.
  • the filling station 30 operates by means of an insertion device 40 of the packets inside bags, which, by contemporaneously processing the series of packets and bags reaching the station, allows all the necessary opening and squaring operations of the bags, together with the seizure, transporting and insertion operations of the packets into the bags without having to slow down the forming of the bags and/or production of sealed packets of products.
  • the insertion device 40 of the packets inside the bags comprises a pneumatic system 41 for the seizure and transfer of the packet and squaring and stiffening means 42 which are mainly aimed at squaring the mouth of the bag and effecting the necessary stiffening for allowing the rapid and precise introduction of the packets (11) and which also act as insertion guides for the pneumatic system 41 and are envisaged at the mouth of the bag to facilitate the insertion of the packet.
  • a continuous movement is then re-established, which operates with the same optimized forming rate of the bags and production of sealed packets.
  • the packaging method of packets of products into bags according to the present invention therefore envisages the following phases:
