Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an automatic machine for packaging products in environment with controlled atmosphere, for example sterile atmosphere.
  • the invention relates to a packaging machine provided with containing means that gives rise to a processing volume with aseptic/sterile atmosphere, said processing volume being suitable for packaging products, for example drugs, cosmetics, food.
  • a packaging machine provided with containing means that gives rise to a processing volume with aseptic/sterile atmosphere, said processing volume being suitable for packaging products, for example drugs, cosmetics, food.
  • the demand is known of carrying out packaging processes performed with sterile materials and in sterile environments, for preventing the packaged products from being possibly subjected to contamination of particle and bacteriological type, due to the presence in the untreated air of solid particles in suspension, such as ashes, spores, microorganisms .
  • the packaging machines are inserted in the interior of sterile rooms, that separate an internal processing volume, precisely sterile, from an external surrounding environment not sterile or having different class of sterility or contamination.
  • Such machines are generally provided with containing means having the shape of a cabin, that, besides preventing the access to moving parts of the machine, delimits and separates an internal volume from the environment of the clean room.
  • the cabin actually provides to limit the interventions of the operators and prevent them from directly interacting with sterilized parts and components of the machine.
  • On the walls of the cabin are present special openings provided with gloves, so-called “glove ports”, by means of which the operators are capable of manipulating objects into the processing volume, without coming in directed contact with said objects.
  • the operators are provided with protective suits and gloves, they constitute a potential contaminating source. The close proximity and the contact of said operators with sterile objects may cause the contamination of said objects.
  • the cabin may be in flow connection with the clean room or completely insulated and sealed.
  • the packaging machine can be positioned also in an environment with not controlled atmosphere.
  • the separation and the insulation of the processing volume are needed also for preventing products potentially toxic and harmful for the human health from being dispersed in the external environment .
  • the sterility of the processing volume is assured by cleanliness and sterility of any component and element contained within the clean room and by the presence- of a proper unidirectional flow of sterile air, filtered by proper high efficiency filters (HEPA - High Efficiency Particulate Air) .
  • the unidirectional air flow consists of air filaments that move in the same direction, virtually mutually parallel and at substantially equal speed, so as to create a homogeneous air stream with no turbolences .
  • an unidirectional air flow is also provided having virtually vertical development, from top towards the bottom, in particular at the operating regions wherein the packaging operations take place, for example, dosing of the product in the containers, closing and
  • the speed of said air flow is required to be of about 0,45 m/s at the operating regions.
  • the air flow licks the containers and also in this case gives rise to a front of sterile air that prevents potentially contaminating particles from penetrating into the containers . That is possible only when the air flow is virtually unidirectional and uniform, because possible turbolences could lead the contaminating particles exactly in the operating regions .
  • intake ducts or ducts for retrieving the air must be provided, capable of collecting the air from the bottom of the cabin and conveying said air towards the exterior, directly in the clean room or conveying said air to said conditioning means .
  • the proper positioning and dimensioning of the intake ducts actually enable the turbolences in the air flow to be limited and possibly formed only at the bottom of the cabin, where the impact of the flow takes' place.
  • the air flow must further impact and involve all the portions of the inner space of the cabin, to prevent formation of stagnating regions, wherein due to the absence of movement of the air the contaminating particles could deposit and concentrate .
  • the horizontal supporting plane whereon the operating groups are fixed constitutes the bottom of the cabin.
  • the actuating members and the mechanisms of the operating groups, contained in the bed of the machine, are arranged below the supporting plane. Since the height from the ground of the operating groups is defined and imposed, in order to enable these latter to be lightly reached by the operators, the distance between supporting plane and operating groups, that is the operating packaging regions, must be necessarily limited. Such distance results generally insufficient for preventing the turbolences that generate on the supporting plane from rising again and involving the operating regions .
  • the width of the bed has to be increased, in order that said bed can contain all the necessary moving members.
  • the considerable width of a bed machine causes, also in the case where opposing intake ducts are provided along both the longitudinal sides of the cabin, not suitable intake flows of the air, with turbolences and/or stagnating regions being mainly generated in the more distant points from the ducts, that is at the central region of the machine, wherein generally the operating groups are arranged.
  • packaging machines are used having so called “wall” or “shoulder” structure, wherein the operating groups are cantilever like mounted, fixed to a substantially vertical plane of the bed.
  • the operating groups are cantilever like mounted, fixed to a substantially vertical plane of the bed.
  • a machine can be obtained with reduced transversal dimensions, since the bed can develop in height next to the processing volume defined by the containing cabin.
  • the bottom of said containing cabin results reasonably distant from the operating regions so as to reduce the turbulence phenomena of the air that can involve said • regions .
  • the intake ducts of the air are arranged on the bottom of the cabin.
  • Wall packaging machines wherein the bottom of the cabin has the function of intake duct for conveying the air towards two collecting openings placed at opposing ends of the machine, respectively upward and downward of the operating groups, with respect to a longitudinal advancing direction of the product to be packaged.
  • the bottom of the cabin is actually provided with a series of grids allowing the passage of the air and forming a sort of retrieving duct.
  • wide stagnating regions develop inside such duct, mainly in the central region more distant from the retrieving openings, at which central region the air flow coming from top separates for reaching the openings .
  • the tube is not generally continuous, but subdivided in a plurality of separated sections, because its transversal dimensions are such to interfere with the sizes of the operating stations of the packaging machine.
  • Such sections in some cases may not be sufficient for assuring a homogeneous and uniform suction of the air flow along the full length of the machine, determining the potential formation of turbolences and stagnating regions more or less wide.
  • such tube constitutes an object that, interposed between the operating stations and the bottom of the cabin, makes complex and critical the cleaning and sanitizing procedure of said cabin, forcing in some cases to its dismounting with consequent growing of the times and the costs.
  • An object of the present invention is to improve the automatic machines provided with containing means for packaging products in environment with controlled atmosphere. Another object is to obtain a packaging machine enabling a virtually uniform unidirectional air flow to be realized in the processing volume inside the containing means, so as to eliminate or remarkably reduce the formation of turbolences, mainly at the packaging operating regions .
  • a packaging machine provided with containing means delimiting a processing volume having a longitudinal passing through dimension along which products to be packaged are moved, said containing means further comprising inlet means for an air flow transversal to said longitudinal passing through dimension and outlet means for said air flow and a bottom portion adjacent to a body of the machine, characterized in that said outlet means extends substantially over the full extension of said longitudinal passing through dimension.
  • a packaging machine can be obtained enabling an air flow to be realized in the processing volume wherein turbolences are absent or remarkably reduced, mainly at the operating packaging regions, and stagnating regions are absent, mainly at the bottom portion.
  • outlet means comprising at least one intake duct having open cross section that extends over the full length of the machine actually contributes to stabilize the unidirectionality and the uniformity of the air flow. Furthermore, the intake duct assures a regular and uniform outflow of the air preventing the formation of turbolences and stagnating regions at the bottom portion of the containing means, ⁇ at any point over the full longitudinal development of the machine.
  • the achievement of the intake duct inside the body of the machine further enables a machine to be obtained suitable for being easily and lightly cleaned, sanitized and sterilized, in particular at the bottom of the cabin.
