Definitions

  • the invention relates to packaging technology. More particularly, it is related to a knife for cutting through packaging material, a filling machine comprising such knife and a method for filling and sealing a package.
  • Roll-fed packaging machines are well known within the field of packaging, in particular in the field of liquid food packaging.
  • a well-known example in the field of liquid food packaging is the filling machines, also referred to as packaging machines, introduced on the market in the 1940's by Tetra Pak ® .
  • Tetra Pak ® A3 a reel of carton-based packaging material is received.
  • a web of packaging material is unwound from the reel.
  • the web After being sterilized, e.g. by using hydrogen peroxide, the web is formed into a tube. While holding the tube vertical it is filled with food product, e.g. milk, via a product filling pipe extending into an interior of the tube from above.
  • Knives for providing perforated pattern are also known. By using such knife, a number of packages connected to each other is provided, i.e. a string of packages can be formed. Consumers can thereafter tear off package by package from the string along the perforated patterns between the packages formed by the knife.
  • a knife for cutting through a body of packaging material at a transversal sealing area of the body.
  • the knife comprises a serrated edge having a number of cutting teeth for cutting through the packaging material such that a first cut surface and a second cut surface of the packaging material are formed, a first and a second blade surface extending from a respective side of the serrated edge, and at least one attachment portion for fixing the knife to a cutting apparatus.
  • the serrated cutting edge comprises a notch-cutting tooth arranged to cut out a notch in the first cut surface.
  • an advantage with having the notch-cutting tooth such that the notch in the first cut surface can be provided is that the notch facilitates the opening of the package for a consumer. More particularly, the notch provides a starting point for tearing the package open. Having the possibility to form this notch at the same time as two subsequent packages are separated, and not in a separate device, provides for costefficiency. From an environmental standpoint, since the notch can form part of an opening arrangement of a package not involving any plastic material, an advantage with the knife is that this provides for that opening arrangements with low carbon footprints can be achieved.
  • the notch-cutting tooth may be, as seen in a cutting direction of the knife, be longer than the cutting teeth.
  • the notch-cutting tooth may be at least 25% longer than the than the cutting teeth.
  • the notch-cutting tooth may be at least 1 mm longer than the cutting teeth.
  • the notch-cutting tooth may comprise a first tooth surface that is flush with the first blade surface and extends, in the cutting direction of the knife, beyond the tip of an adjacent cutting teeth.
  • notch-cutting tooth arranged in this way provides for that a distinct notch can be formed in the first cut surface. Further, by having the knife arranged in this way less difference in length between the notch-cutting tooth and the cutting teeth, that is, the other teeth of the serrated edge, is needed to form the notch.
  • the notch-cutting tooth may comprise a second tooth surface that is flush with the second blade surface and extends, in the cutting direction of the knife, beyond the tip of an adjacent cutting teeth.
  • the first tooth surface that is flush with the first blade surface may extend, in the cutting direction of the knife, at least 1 mm beyond the tip of an adjacent cutting teeth.
  • the first tooth surface that is flush with the first blade surface may have a width D3, in a direction that is transverse to the cutting direction of the knife, that is at least 0,4 mm.
  • the notch-cutting tooth may comprise a front edge that is slanted relative the cutting direction of the knife by an angle ⁇ within the range of 80°-100°.
  • the cutting teeth may be single-beveled, with the bevel located on the same side as the first blade surface.
  • the cutting teeth may comprise a respective front edge that is slanted relative the cutting direction of the knife by an angle that is within the range of 25°-65°.
  • All cutting teeth may have the same length, or have a respective length that deviates at most 10% from a mean value of the lengths of the cutting teeth.
  • the attachment portion may be arranged for fixing the knife to a cutting apparatus with the first blade surface upwards, such that it faces the uppermost cut surface of the first cut surface and a second cut surface of the packaging material.
  • a filling machine for filling and sealing packages.
  • the filling machine comprises a longitudinal sealing unit arranged to form a tube from a web of packaging material, a product filling pipe arranged to fill food product into the tube, and a cutting and sealing unit, comprising a cutting apparatus, arranged to transversally seal and cut the tube for forming individual packages filled with the food product.
  • the cutting and sealing unit comprises a knife according to the first aspect.
  • the filling machine may further comprise a tube guiding unit arranged to guide the tube with respect to the knife such that a guiding line of the packaging material is aligned with the notch-cutting tooth of the knife.
  • the tube guiding unit may be directed such that the notch, provided during cutting, is aligned with the guiding line provided in the packaging material before cutting, e.g. in a converting factory producing packaging material.
  • a method for filling and sealing a package comprises forming the tube from a web of packaging material, filling food product into the tube, and transversally sealing and cutting the tube for forming individual packages filled with the food product.
  • the cutting comprises cutting the tube with a knife according to the first aspect.
  • the method may further comprise guiding the tube with respect to the knife such that a guiding line of the packaging material is aligned with the notch-cutting tooth of the knife.
  • an advantage with having the tube guided with respect to the knife is that the tube may be directed such that the notch, provided during cutting, is aligned with the guiding line provided in the packaging material before cutting, e.g. in a converting factory producing packaging material.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an upper part of a package 100 by way of example.
  • the package 100 can be a carton package, that is, a package made of a carton-based packaging material 101.
  • the package 100 comprises a top fin 102 and a main body 104 in which food product is held. Even though not illustrated, a bottom fin may be provided in a similar way in an opposite end of the package 100.
  • a transversal sealing 106 In the top fin 102 there is a transversal sealing 106.
  • the transversal sealing 106 may be achieved in different ways. For instance, by using so-called induction heating, a current may be induced in the packaging material 101 such that plastic layers of the packaging material are melted. By pressing the tube together horizontally, the melted plastic layers of the packaging material 101 can be formed into the transversal sealing 106.
  • the package 100 illustrated in Fig. 1 is provided with a notch 108.
  • a benefit with having the notch 108 is that this can facilitate the opening of the package 100.
  • the notch 108 provides for that a top edge of the top fin 102, also referred to as first cut surface 112, is split in two parts. This is advantageous in that when a consumer is grabbing one part of the top fin 102 with one hand and another part of top fin 102 with the other hand and the two parts are pulled apart, the notch 108 facilitates that the top fin 102 is torn where the notch 108 is located.
  • By providing a notch 108 more controlled opening of the package 100 is achieved.
  • elderly people or other persons with muscle constraint may be able to open the package 100 without the need for a pair of scissors or other tool.
  • a guiding line 110 may be provided as a guide when tearing open the package 100, i.e. tearing the top fin 102 and part of the main body 104.
  • the guiding line may be a line that has been printed on the package material, or may be a perforated line, a crease line or a line formed by a plastic material.
  • the guiding line 110 is a crease line or semi-perforated line it also acts as a weakening line.
  • the weakening line may be provided by a number of perforations placed after one another in a carton layer of the packaging material 101.
  • the packaging material 101 may comprise at least an inner plastic layer and an outer plastic layer between which the carton layer is laminated.
  • a transversal sealing unit that is, a cutting and sealing unit 809, as illustrated in Fig. 2 and also in Fig. 11 , may be used.
  • the transversal sealing unit 809 may be placed downstream a longitudinal sealing unit 804 in which a web of packaging material 101 is folded into a tube and provided with a longitudinal sealing such that the tube is formed.
  • the top fin 102 and the bottom fin may be formed at the same time.
  • a heat sealing unit 502 e.g. an inductor
  • the anvil 504 may be provided with two dollies 506a,b placed vertically apart. Between the two dollies 506a,b, room is provided for a cutting apparatus 500 comprising a knife 200. This knife 200 can be fed through a horizontal channel 510 of the anvil 504 in a cutting direction C through the tube 201 and into a groove 508 provided in the heat sealing unit 502.
  • the cutting direction C is the direction that is transverse to the direction L along which an edge of the knife 200 extends.
  • the cutting direction C is the direction that is transverse to the direction L along which the serrated edge extends.
  • the cutting direction may then also be the direction along which the cutting teeth 211, 214 of the serrated edge extend.
  • transversal sealing unit other types of cutting and sealing units 809 may also be used.
  • other types of sealing technology may also be used, e.g. ultrasonic sealing.
  • the cutting apparatus 500 comprising the knife 200 and a motor for moving this back and forth can be provided as a separate device downstream a transversal sealing device comprising the heat sealing unit 502, the anvil 504 and a motor for moving the two between a closed and an open state.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates a perspective view of the knife 200 and the tube 201 in isolation before cutting, that is, before the knife 200 divides the tube 201 in the transversal sealing area 207.
  • the knife 200 may be seen as a cutting blade provided with a spine 203, facing away from the tube 201 during cutting, and a serrated edge 210 facing the tube 201 during cutting and extending in a longitudinal extension L perpendicular to the cutting direction C.
  • a first blade surface 204 may be facing upwards and a second blade surface 206 may be facing downwards.
  • attachment portions 208a,b herein exemplified as holes, may be provided.
  • the serrated edge 210 has cutting teeth 211 and to provide for that the notch 108 can formed during the cutting, a notch-cutting tooth 212 is provided.
