Definitions

• the invention relates to a form, FiII-, sealing machine and method for producing, filling and closing of bags.
• Such machines are known and used in various fields of technology.
• the formation of a sack ("mold"), its filling (“fill”) and its sealing (“seal”) are carried out on these machines, which is why the term FFS has also been used in the German-speaking world for forming, FiII- and sealing machine enforced.
• the transport means with which the hose is brought from the unwinding to the transverse welding and the cutting device generally comprise typical hose transport means such as guide rollers and rollers.
• typical hose transport means such as guide rollers and rollers.
• gripping means since the sacks are generally to be grasped at their still open end and transported. In this case, the closed end usually hangs down.
• gripping means often find individual gripper tongs or gripper pair use.
• EP 1 201 539 B1 shows such a machine.
• the manner in which bags or semi-finished sacks are transported or manufactured in the machine shown in this publication, the sequence of the individual processing stations on each other as well as the manner in which bags are made, filled and sealed in this machine is for the understanding of This document is essential and is hereby included in the scope of the same. With such a machine, bags can be finished and filled in a very quick sequence.
• the object of the present invention is therefore achieved in that at least one second group of at least one processing station in the horizontal plane (x, z) in the processing direction of the bags (z) is not arranged in a straight line behind the first (rectilinearly arranged) group.
• the accessibility of the processing stations is particularly useful when behind the first rectilinear group of processing stations and the interruption of the "straight line" is followed by a second group with more than one processing station. Then the accessibility of a plurality of processing stations increases. In this second group can also prevail again a straight arrangement of processing stations.
• other angles are also conceivable and initially fall under the definition of transverse transport in the sense of this application, since a change in the transport direction by, for example, 30 ° naturally also results in the transverse transport in a vectorial sense containing transverse components.
• transverse transport refers to the transport of sacks or sack components as well as semi-finished sacks (these terms are often used interchangeably in the present application and the term sacks often includes the other two terms) between the processing stations, but not transportation
• transport of entire processing stations can also be used for the transport and cross-transport of machines located in the respective processing station Sacks relative to the machine frame lead, but is not meant. Due to the weight in particular of filling stations, the transport of the same has not been proven.
• the "bag transport” is understood to mean the transfer of the bag from one processing station to the next, and the at least one second group can also be connected to the transverse transport again at a 90 ° angle
• the wording of at least one second group shows that at least two, three or four such second groups are intended, which suggests a modular structure of the first and second groups
• Such a significant difference in the processing speed is, for example, when filling dusty goods between the filling station and the stations upstream of her, as the dusty goods, the possible., The processing speed is slower than the processing speed reduce the filling speed.
• dusty goods are cement and titanium dioxide.
• Lifting means for changing the relative distance between the bag bottom of a bag to be filled and the outlet opening of the conveying means
• Control means which control the distance between the outlet opening of the conveying means and the filling level of the bag during the filling process
• Suction means which suck air out of the bag during and / or after the filling process (es),
• a transfer or intermediate station can be arranged profitably.
• Such a station has gripping means and usually holds the bag for a fraction of a machine cycle. It can be arranged before or after the transverse transport. These grippers can also perform movements in the bag transport direction.

• This advice applies in particular also with respect to the gripper tongs and gripper tongs 10, 11 as well as the type and direction (especially z) in which they 10, 1 1 transport the bags 1 through the machine 2.
• the relevant passages of EP 1 201 539 B1 are also expressly incorporated in the scope of the present document.
• Sketches 3 and 4 show an alternative construction of an FFS machine, in which an intermediate or transfer station 13 is provided between the cross-cutting station 7 and the filling station 9.
• an intermediate or transfer station 13 is provided between the cross-cutting station 7 and the filling station 9.
• the second group of processing stations 9, 12 which, like the first group of processing stations 4, 7 in the horizontal plane formed here by the x and z coordinates, are straight in the transport direction of the bags z arranged one behind the other.
• the first group of processing stations 4, 7 thus includes the components 4, 7, which are also referred to collectively as sack-making part 3 and which produce bags which are open at the top.
• processing stations - such as a Rüttelstation for compacting the filling material and / or a conveyor belt for further transport and the support of the filled bags - are not shown in the figures, but may be considered as processing stations in the context of the present application.
• FIGS. In them 10, 11 are those means of transport that hold the sacks 1 in the region of the filling station 9 and further transport.
• the feeding of the bags to the filling station 9 takes place in Figure 5 so that symbolized by the arrow 8 cross-transport device.
• FIG. 6 again shows an exemplary embodiment with an intermediate station 13.
• the transverse transport device 8 passes the sacks 1 first to the pair of gripper tongs 21 and 22. These two gripper tongs then take over the transport in the sack transporting direction z, which is also indicated here by the arrows 18.
• FIG. 7 essentially shows a machine 2 according to the invention which is constructed in accordance with the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
• the bag filling and closing part 20, which contains the filling station 9 and the closing station 12 and here forms the first second group of processing stations is assigned an intermediate station 13.
