  • portions or dietary supplement portions (hereinafter referred to as portions, more generally also as small-unit goods) of a specific type are stored. Upon request, individual portions can be dispensed from the storage and dispensing stations and are then fed via a guide device to a packaging device, where the portions are packaged or blistered.
  • a packaging material web is formed by the packaging device into a blister tube containing a plurality of blister bags arranged one behind the other.
  • a flexible, elongated packaging material web is fed to the packaging device via a packaging material guide.
  • the packaging material web is usually formed into a tube-like shape by a forming means and joined, among other things, in the running direction.
  • the packaging material tube is then welded transversely to the running direction to form a partially closed blister bag, into which one or more portions are then transferred.
  • the packaging equipment has state-of-the-art usually has a filling tube which extends into the packaging material tube via a receiving opening of the packaging material guide and transfers the portions to be blistered to a partially closed blister bag.

  • the spreading means are elastically deformable at least in sections and, in an untensioned state, extend outwards from the dispensing section in the longitudinal direction of the filling tube. This ensures that the spreading means keep this packaging material tube open or spread it open to receive the portions.
  • a further task of the spreading means is to shape the packaging material tube in such a way that it can be welded without wrinkles.
  • the filling tube insertion device system comprises an insertion device which has a cylindrical central part with an actuating end section and an opposite holding end section, wherein a holding means is arranged on the holding section, and a filling tube which has fastening means and a hollow cylindrical tube section with a receiving section for small piece goods and an opposite dispensing section, wherein at least two elastically deformable spreading means, each with a spreading means end, are arranged on the dispensing section, wherein the spreading means, in an untensioned state, extend outwards from the dispensing section in the longitudinal direction of the filling tube.
  • the cylindrical central part and the holding means of the insertion device are designed such that they can be guided through the hollow cylindrical tube section and that the holding means and the spreading means ends are coordinated with one another such that the spreading means ends can be releasably clamped to the holding means. Furthermore, it is provided that the cylindrical central part of the guide device is adapted to the filling tube in such a way that the actuating section projects into the receiving section when the spreading means ends are clamped.
  • the inventive coordination of the two components of the filling tube insertion device system ensures that the system can be easily attached to the packaging device in the "tensioned state" when the guide means is guided through the filling tube and the spreading means are clamped to the holding means. Since the invention provides that the actuating section in the clamped state of the Once the ends of the spreader protrude into the receiving section accessible to the user, the insertion device can be easily removed. To do this, the detachable attachment of the spreader to the holding device must be released, then the insertion device can be easily removed (normally upwards).
  • the two expansion devices are clamped to the holding device during insertion of the filling tube, it is ensured that they do not place excessive strain on the tubular packaging material. Damage to other components of the packaging device and the risk of injury to the user are also avoided by clamping the ends of the expansion devices. Furthermore, the filling tube can be inserted much more quickly with the system according to the invention, since less care is required to avoid the aforementioned risks.

  • the insertion device After the filling tube has been inserted using the filling tube insertion device system according to the invention, the insertion device must be removed. This requires that the expansion means ends be released from the holding means. With a simple design of the insertion device, this can be achieved, for example, simply by moving the holding means a little further in the insertion direction via the actuating section; the expansion means ends then "jump" out of the holding means, and the insertion device can usually be removed in the opposite direction to the insertion direction. Alternatively, the holding means can be rotated via the actuating section to release the clamping. In both variants, improper use can cause damage to the packaging material web and/or other components.
