Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for leading the wrap of wrapped rolls in a packing machine from a wrapped roll to a roll being packed in the packing of paper, board and other fibrous rolls.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for implementing the method.
  • the packing wrap can be wrapped around the roll in three ways. If there are sufficiently wrapped rolls of different widths available, only one wrap layer covering the whole roll length is wrapped around the roll or roll group being packed. This way of packing is utilised when an extremely high capacity is required and the wrapping time of a single roll has to be short. Alternatively, it is possible to use overlap wrapping or spiral wrapping. In the overlap wrapping, adjacent wrap layers shorter than the roll length are wrapped for the length of the outer shell of the roll which together cover the whole outer surface of the roll.
  • the wrap is wrapped in the shape of a spiral around the roll.
  • An advantage of the latter wrapping ways is that, in principle, only one wrap width is required by which all rolls being packed can be wrapped.
  • it can be necessary to use various different wrap grades for other reasons. For example, a customer having bought paper or board might require using a wrap providing their own, characteristic appearance in order to be able to distinguish their product from the products of the competitors or a certain kind of a wrap is required due to the environment or ways of treatment in different market areas.
  • wrap carriages in the packing machine from which the wrap grade suitable for packing is chosen.
  • the wrapped rolls are arranged in the packing machine so that the travel direction of the wrap is crosswise in relation to the direction of the roll being packed. Then, the wrapped rolls are parallel to the roll being packed during wrapping.
  • There are successively different sizes of wrapped rolls and the wraps are led below a roll array to a wrapping station. Because the diameters of the wrapped rolls are equal, the wrapped roll array becomes quite long and often also high.
  • the wrapped roll array thus requires a lot of space at the side of the packing line. Because plants and production floors have limited space and building additional space is expensive even in new facilities, the space required by each production machine increases costs.
  • rolls being packed are transferred by rolling, whereby they move parallel in relation to the longitudinal direction of the packing machine.
  • the wrapped rolls can be placed on top of the machine on both sides of the carrier rolls of the wrapping station i.e. on the side of the incoming direction and the outgoing direction of the rolls being packed.
  • the packing wrap is led along a straight web from the wrapped roll to the roll being packed without changing the direction of the wrap laterally.
  • Document DE 195 30 257 A1 discloses a machine, which comprises a dispensing station for four packing material web rolls. For each packing material web roll there is allocated a packing material web guide.
  • Document US A 4 448 010 discloses a packaging machine for making bag type packages from strip web material.
  • This packaging machine comprises product dispensing means for dispensing product at a bag filling station, an elongated, means for moving the mandrel lengthwise, means for forming an end portion of strip web material around the mandrel, feed means for advancing a sleeve of the mandrel, means for opening a lead end of the sleeve, a plurality of bag gripper assemblies and transfer means for moving the bag gripper assemblies.
  • Document US A 6 044 615 discloses a further packaging machine.
  • This packaging machine has a roll supporting device with a support shaft rotatably supporting a film roll which extends in an axial direction, an elongated bag-forming film being wrapped around the film roll, a bag forming device which pulls out the film from the film roll and forms the film into a shape of a bag, a packaging device for filling the bag-shaped film with articles and sealing the film to produce a package, a roll displacing mechanism for displacing the roll supporting device in the axial direction, and a roll position controller for controlling the roll displacing mechanism to adjust the position of the roll supporting device.
  • the object of this invention is to provide a method and arrangement by means of which it is possible to place wrapped rolls of a packing machine more flexibly into connection with the packing machine and to lead the wrap from there to a wrapping station.
  • the invention is based on the fact that the wrapped rolls of the packing machine are placed so that their longitudinal axes form an angle with the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed when unwrapping the wrap and the wrap is led to the roll being packed via at least one creasing element.
  • the wrapped rolls are arranged at several different angles in relation to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed.
  • the wrap is unwrapped from the wrapped rolls in the forward and reverse direction in relation to the travel direction of the roll being packed.
  • the angle of the creasing element can be adjusted in connection with packing.
  • the position of the creasing element can be changed in relation to the roll being packed or the wrapped roll.
  • a particular advantage is that, in the spiral and overlap wrapping, the transfer of the wrap being fed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed and, in the spiral wrapping, the angle of the wrap in relation to the roll being packed can be set as desired by means of the creasing elements and the wrapped roll can stay in place.
  • the masses being transferred decrease and the device is obtained lighter-structured without compromising rigidity or durability.
  • a longitudinal axis refers to the central axis of the roll around which a wrap or a product on a roll being packed is wrapped and which is crosswise against the longitudinal direction of the wrap or product being wrapped on a roll.
  • the roll being wrapped and the wrapped rolls are presumed to be in a horizontal position and the positions and angles between their longitudinal axes refer to the angles formed by the axes in relation to each other seen from the top unless otherwise stated.
  • the wrapped rolls can be in an oblique position in relation to the horizontal plane or upright.
  • the longitudinal axes of different wrapped rolls and the roll being packed are still horizontal, but there are height differences between them in order to be able to lead the packing wrap to the wrapping station e.g. in the travel direction of the wrap below the front rolls.
  • rolls being packed are transferred on a conveyor 1.
  • a wrapping station 2 is beside the conveyor 1 and rolls being packed passing on the conveyor are lifted up from the conveyor 1 with carrier rolls 3 located on both sides.of the conveyor and pushed to the wrapping station 2.
  • immediately beside the wrapping station there is one place 4 for the wrapped roll which is set parallel with the travel direction of the conveyor and the roll being packed at the wrapping station 2.
  • the wrapped rolls in different roll places can be mutually of different widths or include different types of wraps for forming different packages.
  • the same reference number refers to both a place for a wrapped roll and a wrapped roll placed in it.
  • the packing wrap has to be fed to the roll being packed at least partially rotating around the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed in the central, overlap and spiral wrapping, the unwrapping direction of the wrap of the wrapped rolls 5-8 being unwrapped from the roll places 5-8 crosswise in relation to the roll being packed is incorrect from the viewpoint of wrapping. For this reason, the travel direction of the wrap has to be changed.
  • Leading a wrap 21 to the wrapping station 2 is done by means of a creasing element 9.
  • the creasing element 9 is located at an angle of 45° in relation to the travel direction of the wrap and the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed.
  • a rotating creasing roll or a stationary creasing iron which can be a smooth-surfaced, uncovered arrangement or a covered one manufactured of steel or some other material enabling an adequately rigid structure, in which arrangement, there is a surface along which the wrap can slide.
  • air can be blown between the roll and the wrap or the creasing iron and the wrap or, correspondingly, if the wrap has to be bound against the creasing element, underpressure can be formed between the wrap or the creasing element.
  • holes on the surface of the creasing element can be used or the surface can be porous and air-permeable. All wraps which require changing the wrap direction can be fed via the one and the same creasing element, part of the wrapped rolls can have the same creasing element and part one of their own, or each wrapped roll can have its own creasing element.
  • the creasing element 9 could be made transferable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed, whereby e.g. in the overlap and spiral wrapping, the feed point of the wrap for the roll being packed is simply changed by transferring the creasing element. This way, there is no need to transfer the heavy roll being packed or the heavy wrapped roll. Also, the angle of the creasing element can be changed. By changing the angle of the creasing element, it is possible particularly in the spiral wrapping to manage the climbing of the wrap spiral and to control the wrap during wrapping. Similarly, if wrapped rolls are set at different angles in relation to the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed, e.g.
  • Fig. 2 shows an alternative arrangement in which there are wrapped rolls crosswise in relation to the roll being packed on both sides of the wrapping station 2, in this case, two places 10, 11 and 12, 13 on both sides of the wrapping station 2 in the arrangement.
  • creasing elements 14, 15. These can be in the above-described way rotatable and/or transferrable in the longitudinal direction of the roll being packed.
  • roll places 16-20 are arranged in the opposite direction in relation to the travel direction of the conveyor than in Fig. 1 .
  • the figure also shows that in the roll places there can be different wrapped rolls, i.e. in the places 16, 17 there are the widest rolls and in the places 18, 19 and 20 there are narrower rolls of different widths.
  • This arrangement has provided for that the widest wrap will decrease most so two places 16, 17 for wrapped rolls have been reserved for it.
  • the numbers of the roll places and the wrap widths and wrap types set in them are optimised in a corresponding way as in earlier known packing systems comprising several places for wrapped rolls.
  • the wrapped rolls can be placed by means of the invention on both sides of the packing line.
  • the best location way and the structure of the packing line are however finally determined always case-specifically according to available space, required packing capacity and equivalent issues.
  • the described embodiments show arrangements in which a roll being packed is transferred in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
  • the invention can be equally applied in packing systems in which the roll is transferred by rolling or by moving crosswise in relation to the packing line.
  • a method and arrangement for leading the wrap of wrapped rolls in a packing machine from a wrapped roll to a roll being packed in the packing of paper, board and other fibrous rolls comprises at least a wrapping station (2) and at least one place (4) for the wrapped roll.
  • the arrangement includes elements (9) for leading a packing wrap (21) from a wrapped roll (4, 5-8) to a roll being packed at the wrapping station (2).
  • there is at least one place (5-8) for the wrapped roll which is located so that the longitudinal axis of the wrapped roll (5-8) placed in it forms an angle with the longitudinal axis of the roll being packed when unwrapping the wrap (21).
  • At least one creasing element (9) For leading the wrap (21) to the roll being packed, there is arranged at least one creasing element (9).
