Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a method and a machine for filling bags, as well as an installation using such a machine.
  • the skins are used in packaging systems for liquid and semi-liquid products, food or not, which in particular make it possible to extend the shelf life of said products.
  • the most classic presentation consists of a skin made of more or less flexible plastic material, placed in an envelope in the form of a cardboard box, and provided with a neck fitted with a stopper, preferably a tap.
  • the skin allows the storage of the product, while the envelope protects the skin and facilitates transport.
  • the extraction of the liquid or semi-liquid product is carried out without air intake, by the deformation of the addition.
  • empty skins conveyor can consist of a guidance system associated with a means of extracting a strip of skins, packaged in a container, while the installation comprises a separation device skins.
  • the object of the present application is therefore to propose a process for filling skins, making it possible to preserve the quality of the product contained in the skins, without however reducing the rate, and even increasing it.
  • the aim is also to provide a filling machine implementing said method according to the invention, and which is as compact as possible.
  • the division of the filling into two distinct operations staggered in time makes it possible to find a good compromise between the rate of filling and the duration of filling and therefore of the quality of the latter and of the contents of the skins, between, without limitation, a rate equivalent to that of a conventional process with doubling of the filling time, and maintenance of the filling time but doubling of the rate.
  • the steps of the method are technically carried out in an incompressible time, with the exception of the filling time which can be variable, which makes it possible to adjust the rate and/or the filling time on demand.
  • the filling method also preferably includes the ancillary steps already mentioned, such as placing under vacuum before filling and injecting neutral gas before sealing.
  • the various filling steps are carried out simultaneously with the transverse displacement, over all or part of said displacement.
  • the filling machine only requires a single additional feed conveyor and a single discharge conveyor, which in particular allows use on existing installations, replacing the filling machines used hitherto.
  • Another advantage is that, as a result, the space requirement is hardly greater than that of an existing installation, apart from the additional width at the level of the filling machine.
  • the method and the machine according to the invention have another advantage, in that due to the alternative filling in masked time, it is possible to continuously supply the two filling means from the same power supply.
  • each of the stations also comprises means for placing the bag under vacuum before it is filled and means for injecting neutral gas before capping.
  • each filling station comprises a means for retracting a full bag, arranged below and designed capable of opening when said filling station is positioned above the discharge conveyor.
  • the discharge conveyor moves packaging envelopes such as cardboard boxes, in each of which is deposited a full skin.
  • the design of the filling machine according to the invention makes it possible to configure a packaging installation for goatskins used in systems for packaging liquid and semi-liquid products, food or not, comprising two identical filling machines, arranged upstream from each other, and connected by a distribution table ensuring on the one hand the supply of empty cardboard boxes to the downstream machine, and the transfer of full cardboard boxes from the upstream machine.
  • This machine 1 comprises a frame 10 housing several stations, namely a conveyor 2 for supplying skins, not visible, a filling machine 3 and a conveyor 4 for discharging full skins.
  • the conveyor 2 consists of a device for extracting skins packaged in a strip, not shown, passing over a guide means, in this case a roller 20, making it possible to feed the machine filler 3, along an axis XX'.
  • the installation shown is intended for the packaging of skins in a transport envelope, thus the evacuation conveyor 4 moves boxes 40 under the filling machine 3, with a view to depositing a full skin in each.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to the filling machine 3, which comprises a carriage 30, represented on the picture 2 .
  • This carriage 30 is movably mounted in the frame 10, horizontally in the transverse direction, that is to say perpendicular to the axis XX′ of the additional supply.
  • It comprises two filling stations 5, juxtaposed in the transverse direction, so that according to the outward and return movements of the carriage 30, the filling stations 5 are aligned alternately on the axis XX'.
  • Each of the filling stations 5 comprises, in a manner known per se, means 50 for holding the neck of a wineskin brought by the conveyor 2, means 51 for removing the tap or the stopper inserted in the neck, means 52 filling of the addition and means of closing the neck with the tap or the stopper which are the removal means 51 used in the opposite way, these different means being intended to be activated successively.
  • one of the stations 5 is positioned on the axis XX' to be able to accommodate an empty skin which it seizes, then the carriage 30 is moved so that the other station is positioned on the 'axis XX' to be able to accommodate the next empty skin, and so on, the progress of the skins being synchronized with the alternating movement of the carriage 30.
  • the holding means 50 are open, thus releasing the neck and at the same time releasing the skin which can then fall on a receptacle arranged under the station, and which is intended to open to feed the conveyor 4.
  • the filling of a skin is carried out in masked time during the taking over of the next empty skin, or even also the extraction of the previous full skin, so as to be able to save time.
  • This time saving in different ways either totally to increase the rate and while keeping a short filling time, or totally to increase the filling time and keep a basic rate, or else an intermediate solution.
  • the conveyor 62 is in the upstream extension of the discharge conveyor 4' of the machine 1', while the conveyor 61 is in the downstream extension of the conveyor 4 of the machine, therefore the machines 1 and 1' are not not exactly in line with each other, but slightly offset, transversely to the direction of movement of the conveyors.
  • the conveyor 60 brings empty boxes 40 to feed, passing from above, the conveyor 62 and the machine 1', the machine 1 being fed with empty boxes 40 by a non-visible rear circuit.
  • Such a distribution table 6 allows the design of an installation using a line of identical machines, to condition the skins and bring them to at the same place downstream of the machine 1', through the conveyor 4' and the extension of the conveyor 61 beyond the machine 1'.
