Definitions

  • the invention relates to a form, fill, seal machine and method for producing, filling and closing of bags.
  • each or at least a plurality of said processing steps are associated with their own processing stations.
  • suitable means of transport should be provided. If one already considers the unwinding as a processing station, then 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. After Separation of the sacks will require more unusual means of transport, which as a rule comprise 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. As gripping means often find individual gripper tongs or gripper pair use.
  • 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.
  • bags can be made and filled in a very rapid sequence.
  • all processing stations - at least at the time in which they are handed over a bag or semi-finished bag - arranged in the horizontal plane in the processing direction of the bags largely rectilinear to each other.
  • the horizontal level corresponds to the hall floor on which the machine stands.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a maintenance and operating cost-effective machine, with which a good processing speed is to be realized.
  • the object is solved by the characterizing features of claims 1 and 10.
  • 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.
  • transverse transport which takes place substantially perpendicular to the previous rectilinear transport.
  • other angles are also conceivable and they 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 entire processing stations.
  • a transport of entire processing stations can also be used for the transport and transverse 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 as the transfer of the bag from one to the next processing station.
  • the at least one second group can also be connected again at a 90 ° angle to the transverse transport.
  • 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.
  • a plurality of second groups is particularly advantageous if it contains processing stations whose processing speed is slower than the processing speed of the processing stations of the first group.
  • Such a significant difference in the processing speed is achieved, for example, when filling dusty goods between the filling station and the stations upstream of it, since the dusty goods reduce the possible filling speed.
  • dusty goods are cement and titanium dioxide.
  • the interruption of the straight-line transport could take place after the transverse welding or separating station.
  • the bags filled by a plurality of filling stations could be returned to common processing stations.
  • the closing and welding could be carried out either by common stations or by the filling stations individually assigned stations.
  • 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.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 and 7 show sketches of inventive machines 2, in which the transport means 6, 10, 11, 12, 21, 22 and the individual processing stations 4, 7, 9, 12, 13 have been shown only stylized.
  • inventive machines 2 in which the transport means 6, 10, 11, 12, 21, 22 and the individual processing stations 4, 7, 9, 12, 13 have been shown only stylized.
  • the gripper tongs or gripper pair 10, 11 grip the sack opening at their ends.
  • the bag walls touch, forming a right angle with the transport direction z, so are aligned in the x direction.
  • the transverse transport takes place with the aid of gripping means, which can also perform a movement in the x-direction. These are outlined here only by the arrow 8.
  • the transverse transport of the tube 1 enters the filling station 9, in which the bags 1 are filled.
  • FIGS. 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.
  • 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. 5 and 6 To clarify the function of the intermediate station are in the FIGS. 5 and 6 Gripper tongs 10 and 11 shown. 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 FIG. 5 thus by the symbolized by the arrow 8 cross-transport device. This includes not shown, but suitable gripping means that take over the transverse transport in the x direction.
  • FIG. 6 an embodiment with an intermediate station 13 is shown.
  • 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.
  • the sacks 1 return to the area of the filling station 9 in which the other pair of gripper tongs 10, 11 again arrive in the same way as in FIG FIG. 5 the further transport of the sacks 1 takes over.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates once again the meaning of the last introduced terms based on a plan view of a "tightly drawn" bag opening, which was omitted for illustrative reasons, a contact between the two bag walls 24 and 25 represent. It is clear, however, that the bag walls in this transport situation are aligned in the x direction, while the bag is transported in the z direction.
  • FIG. 7 shows essentially a machine 2 according to the invention, which corresponds to that in the FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrated embodiment is constructed.
  • 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.
  • the machine has 2 in FIG. 7 about two such Sack Stahlglall- and -sch improveer 20.
  • These can also be constructed (in relation to the longitudinal axis of the machine 2) a mirror image.
  • the advantages of a modular construction of the bag making and bag filling and closing part 20 are shown.
