Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the strapping of packages and a related strapping machine.
  • strapping machines In the field of packaging machines, strapping machines are known intended to wind a package with a strip, called strap, made of a flexible material, in order to give greater strength to the package itself.
  • packages are generally made of paperboard material and are closed by gluing the edges or using adhesive tape.
  • this type of packaging is easily subject to wear and tear, especially if the products it contains are particularly heavy.
  • the strapping process carried out by means of strapping machines of known type involves winding the strap around a package, tensioning the strap so that it is tightened around the package, cutting the strap and closing the strap to form a closed loop.
  • the known techniques provide for the use of a strap made of plastic material which is closed by thermo-sealing the relevant extremal portions together.
  • the sealing of straps made of plastic material is particularly practical and quick and allows optimal sealing of the closed loop.
  • US 4 154 158 A discloses a process for the strapping of packages which comprises the phases of: supplying a strap having one free end, wrapping the strap around a package, tensioning the strap, cutting the strap to obtain a second free end and closing the strap to form a closed loop.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to devise a process for the strapping of packages and a related strapping machine which allow reducing the environmental impact and are sustainable.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise a process for the strapping of packages and a related strapping machine which allow the use of easily recyclable and low cost materials.
  • a further object of the present invention is to devise a process for the strapping of packages and a related strapping machine which enable the packages to be strengthened and give them a high resistance to breakage events.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise a process for the strapping of packages and a related strapping machine, which allow the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art to be overcome within a simple, rational, easy and effective to use as well as affordable solution.
  • reference numeral 1 globally indicates a strapping machine for the strapping of packages.
  • the strapping machine 1 comprises at least one basic frame 2 positionable at a line of forward movement L of at least one package P.
  • the expression "package” means a wrapping adapted to package manufactured articles.
  • the package P is made of a paperboard material. It cannot, however, be ruled out that the packaging is made of a different material.
  • the line of forward movement L is adapted to move the package P with respect to the strapping machine 1 in order to perform a strapping process.
  • the line of forward movement L is of the type of, e.g., a conveyor belt, a roller conveyor or the like.
  • the strapping machine 1 comprises at least one strapping head 3 associated with the basic frame 2 and adapted to wind and tension a strap 4, having a first free end 5, around the package P.
  • the strap 4 is a strip made of a flexible material and intended to be wrapped around the package P to give the latter greater strength.
  • the strap 4 comprises a first surface 17 intended to be turned towards the package P and a second surface 18, opposite the first surface 17 and intended to face towards the outside.
  • the strapping machine 1 also comprises supply means 6 adapted to provide the strap 4 to the strapping head 3.
  • the supply means 6 comprise at least one supporting assembly 7 of a strapping roll 8 and at least one movement assembly 9 of the strap 4 towards the strapping head 3.
  • the strapping head 3 comprises:
  • winding means 10 and the tensioning means 11 are of the type known to the person skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in the remainder of the present disclosure.
  • the winding means 10 and the tensioning means 11 may comprise a series of motorized rollers and wheels adapted to make the strap 4 slide coming out of the strapping head 3, during a winding phase of the package P, and to allow it to return into the strapping head itself, during a tensioning phase.
  • the strapping machine 1 comprises at least one guiding arch 29 associated with the basic frame 2 and along which the strapping head 3 is positioned.
  • the guiding arch 29 has the function of automatically winding the strap 4 around the package P.
  • the winding means 10 comprise dragging means, not shown in detail in the figures, adapted to drag the first end 5 along the guiding arch 29 to wind the package P.
  • the guiding arch 29 is arranged on a substantially vertical plane. In this way, the closed loop around the packaging also lies on a substantially vertical plane.
  • Embodiments wherein the guiding arch 29 is arranged on a substantially horizontal or inclined plane cannot however be ruled out.
  • the strapping head 3 is arranged above the line of forward movement L and the guiding arch 29 extends below the strapping head itself.
  • the strapping head 3 is arranged along the guiding arch 29, laterally to the line of forward movement L. Also embodiments cannot be ruled out from the scope of the present invention wherein the strapping machine 1 is without the guiding arch 29 and the winding of the package P with the strap 4 is carried out manually by an operator.
  • the strap 4 is fitted again into the strapping head 3 through the first end 5 and held so as to allow tensioning.
  • the cutting means 12 are adapted to cut the strap 4 so as to obtain a portion of strap 4 wrapped and tensioned around the package P, having the second end 13 opposite the first end 5.
  • the cutting operation defines a new first free end 5, in the strap 4 still connected to the supply means 6.
  • the strap 4 is made of a metal material and the closing means 14 comprise bending means 19,20 of the extremal portions 15,16 of the strap 4 comprising the free ends 5,13, one on top of the other.
  • the special feature of providing a strap 4 made of a metal material makes it possible to do without the plastic materials and to reduce the environmental impact, making the strapping machine 1 and the related strapping process extremely sustainable.
  • the metal material is aluminum.
  • aluminum is an extremely light, ductile and malleable material and is, therefore, easy to wind around the package P.
  • aluminum is a mechanically resistant material and makes it possible to give a high degree of strength to the loop closed around the package P.
  • aluminum is an easily recyclable material and can be recovered easily and at a low cost.
  • the closure of the extremal portions 15,16 is, therefore, carried out by bending them, so as to ensure good seal of the closed loop.
  • the strapping head 3 comprises coupling means 21 of the extremal portions 15,16.
  • the extremal portions 15,16 Prior to closure, in fact, the extremal portions 15,16 must be suitably positioned and arranged in contact with each other.
  • the coupling means 21 are adapted to bring the relevant first surfaces 17 of the extremal portions 15,16 in contact with each other.
  • the extremal portions 15,16 comprise an outer extremal portion 15 and an inner extremal portion 16.
  • the coupling phase is carried out so that the outer extremal portion 15 has a protruding stretch 22 with respect to the inner extremal portion 16.
  • the outer extremal portion 15 comprises the first end 5 and the inner extremal portion 16 comprises the second end 13.
  • the first bending means 19 comprise, e.g., a plurality of rollers and/or punches arranged between them in succession so as to define a passage gap of the strap 4 between them. More particularly, the rollers/punches are mutually movable to bend the protruding stretch 22. It cannot, however, be ruled out that the first bending means 19 are of a different type.
  • the first surface 17 of the protruding stretch 22 is placed facing the second surface 18 of the inner stretch 23.
  • the closing means 14 also comprise second bending means 20 adapted to bend the first binding 24 on a further stretch 26 of the inner extremal portion 16 to define a final binding 27.
  • the second bending means 20 are adapted to carry out a second bending below the end 5 of the protruding stretch 22.
  • first bending and the second bending are carried out in the same direction of bending V.
  • the final binding 27 is provided with high resistance to mechanical pulls.
  • the operation of the strapping machine 1 in carrying out the process according to the invention is as follows.
  • the process comprises, first of all, a supply of a strap 4 having at least a first free end 5.
  • the process comprises a phase of winding the strap 4 around a package P.
  • the winding phase is carried out so as to encircle the package P with the strap 4.
  • the winding phase is carried out by the winding means 10.
