Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for at least partially forming a package in a packaging machine. [Prior Art] ▲In the food packaging industry, packaging materials have been used for a long time. The material contains different layers of paper or board, liquid barriers (such as polymers) and gas (such as Ming film). The hair shafts are preformed from a web of material and are provided with a line of folds to facilitate formation and folding of the package. The web is cut into right dry sheets, each having the size and shape used to make a package. After cutting, the pieces are folded into a flat tube-shaped hair @, so that the longitudinal edges thereof are heavy. The longitudinal edges are then sealed via any suitable, conventional sealing technique, such as a heat seal. The result is a flat tubular blank. The formation of the blank from the web itself is known and will not be described in further detail. In a packaging machine, the blank is raised to form a tube which typically has a square or rectangular cross-section depending on the type of wrap. Thereafter, one end of the tube can be sealed to form the bottom (or top) of one of the packages, and the package can be prepared to fill a product, such as a beverage-like food. These types of packages are sold by the applicant under the trade name Tetra Rex10. There are also tubular sleeves from a packaging material (as described above) and a cardboard bottle package sealed to the top of the plastic sleeve of the sleeve. The tops are prefabricated outside of the packaging machine or directly injection molded into the sleeve in a packaging machine. These tops are sealed. This special type of bag can be filled and finally folded into a bottom before the bottom end of the set is sealed horizontally. It can also be filled from the opening of the seal and filled with 120866.doc 200812866. The package is sold under the trade names Tetra Aptiva8 and Tetra Top® by the applicant. The P-formed package (opening at one end for filling, but sealed at the other end to the bottom or top) is usually referred to as a Ready-To-Fill package (RTF package). In the following, the word, wrap, " is used to indicate that the package is ready to be filled. The shelf life of a product packaged for I, known in the prior art for filling

The grid around the filament is used to diffuse the electron beam into a more uniform electron beam: and is used to focus on the target.蕾»°H electron beam. The beam can also be adjusted using a beam absorber and a magnetic IE. The electrons leave the electron via an electronic exit window: 120866.doc 200812866 Toxic device. However, it has been found that when sterilizing the package, It is difficult to achieve an electron beam dose uniform throughout the entire package by using an electron beam disinfection device. This is because the different shapes of the solid part of the package are included. Corners, openings, seals, similar top portions, bottoms, flat walls, etc. need to be fully disinfected, Preferably, however, it is not excessively exposed to Koda. The cost is also a problem. It is preferable not to force the energy to be used more than necessary.

In the following, the tea looks at Figure 2, which will briefly describe the concept of electron beam generator 16, electron beam, toxic device 18 and electron beam sterilization. The electron beam generator 16^ contains means for transmitting along the path-electron beam 2() and is connected to a sterilizing device 18 which distributes the electron beam 20 into the package 10. Typically, the electron beam generator 16 is coupled to a high voltage power supply 22 which is adapted to provide sufficient voltage to drive the electron beam generator 6 for the desired application. The electron beam generator 16 is also coupled to a filament power supply 24 which converts the power from the high voltage power source 22 to an input voltage suitable for the filament % of the generator 16. Additionally, the high voltage power supply 22 includes a grid control 28 for controlling the grid 30 of the electron beam generator 16. Electron beam generators used in package sterilization are generally referred to as low voltage electron beam units, which typically have voltages below 30 〇 kV. In the undecided design, the accelerating voltage is approximately 7 〇 _9 〇 kv. This voltage causes each electron kinetic energy to be 70-90 keV. The filament 26 can be made of tungsten and can be disposed in a vacuum chamber 32. In the exemplary embodiment 120866.doc -11 - 200812866, the vacuum chamber can be tightly sealed. In operation, a current feed flows through the filament 26 and the resistance of the filament causes the filament to be heated to a temperature of about 2000 °C. This heating causes the filament 26 to emit an electron cloud e_. The electrons are emitted along the -beam path in the direction of the target area (in this case, one of the areas surrounding the 〇)*. The grid 30 placed between the filament and the electron beam exit D window has a plurality of openings and is used to diffuse the electron beam 2 • a more uniform electron beam ' and to focus the electron beam 2 朝向 toward the target area. In the illustrated embodiment, the electron beam generator member is disposed in the crucible (four). The sterilizing device 18 comprises a vacuum chamber which is always empty to the same vacuum chamber 32 as the electron beam generator 16 in this case. The disinfecting device 18 further has an electron, H ^ . ^ D hai kou 34 can be made into a metal foil such as titanium, and can have a thickness of about 4 ΐ 2μβι. One (four) into the net support from the internal support of the electron beam generator 16 sheet. The electron red exits the vacuum chamber 32 from the exit window 34. In this embodiment, the disinfecting device 18 (with an electron beam generator inside, a cylindrical body having a generally circular cross section and in the first end of the cylinder.) In the embodiment (shown in Figure 3), the electron The bundle generating device (4) is of course connected together, but during the light shot, 10 collaborations, that is, disinfection, can be set to ^^, set to ^, part of or move around the package 10 = or around.

The number of different disinfection devices required depends on the number of different zones present in the package. The regions may overlap at least slightly with each other to ensure that no portion of the package provides an electron beam that is too low (four). In some cases, the area may overlap more or less with another - (d). The apparatus for sterilizing the top portion of a package will be described below. However, the dose of the sealing area j at the tip portion may need to be reinforced with another sterilization device to sufficiently eliminate the dose. The second area will then completely overlap the first area. Each disinfecting device 18 is configured to optimally radiate the area of the radiation it is to. The different radiation characteristics of the sterilizing device 18 that can be modified to achieve different zones are characterized, for example, by the shape and size of the sterilizing device 18 and the number and placement of the electron beam exit vents. To further change the characteristics of the electron beam 2, the filament 26 and the control grid 30 can be changed. In addition, the relative movement between the packet 10 and the sterilization device 18 (shown schematically in the vertical alignment arrows shown in Figure 4) and the sterilization device "are configured together to perform optimal radiation. The illustrations illustrated in Figure 4 In the embodiment, the sterilization chamber 36 has a 120866.doc -15-200812866 and a second processing station. [B will be described later, in this case, also provided in the elimination chamber to 36. An additional third station m. The first station I is the station of the first area to be sterilized, and the second station π is the station to be sterilized package 10 - the second area. Included - an electron beam sterilizing device 18 for sterilizing the respective regions. Figure 4 each station intermediate device 18 can be an independent sterilizing device each connected to its own electron beam generator. The electron beam generator 16 can then It is placed in the vacuum chamber 32 of the sterilizing device. Alternatively, the sterilizing device 18 is connected to a common electron beam generator 16, as shown in Fig. 3. However, the description is clear, it should be noted that the stations in Fig. 3 are shown as having Other disinfecting devices outside the sterilizing device shown in Figure 4. In Figure 4 In the embodiment, the first part is used for disinfecting a region including a inner portion of the top end portion and an inner side of the closed seal π. The second station is wrapped around the inner side to cover the surface. The female second will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 6a. Disinfection device for station 4 is used to produce a flat exit window of a wide circular beam, which is in the form of a top portion such as a dome-like package::: will be described below with reference to Figure 6d The second station „disinfecting device 18,1 八 夕 an electron beam exit window σ 'the windows are arranged to produce an electron beam suitable for radiating a circular surrounding surface such as a package 10. As mentioned previously, the sterilization chamber 36 also includes an additional smear to the outer side of the 1G before the filling of the package. The sterilizing device 18 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. The packet 10 is aligned with the top toward the sterilization chamber 36 (on the left side of 120866.doc -16-200812866 in Fig. 4) and transported to the first treatment. At the first processing station, the poisoning device 18 descends from the indicated lifting position by a suitable distance into the package": and the first region of the light-emitting package 10. The area is exposed to radiation for a predetermined time, which depends on the package 10 and the disinfecting device. Depending on the relative movement between the 18, after the predetermined time, the sterilizing device 18 is lifted again, and the package 10 is transported to the second processing station in the second process (4) by the sterilizing device 18 of the station. Reduce and enhance the disinfection device 18. The relative movement and the radiation exposure time can be similar to or different from a station 0. After the second treatment station II, the package is transported to the third station Ιπ, where the disinfection is An area in the form of at least a portion of the outer side of the package 10 adjacent to the open end thereof to prevent recontamination of the inside of the package. Similarly, the disinfecting device 2 is as low as the open end 12 of the bag 1G and the sterilization continues for a predetermined period of time. The sterilization device 18, the sterilization of the package (4) is finished. Then the package is ready to continue to the lower chamber (filling chamber 38) for filling. After filling the package (7) is sealed. In this case, 'sealing Wrap 1 : Squeeze the opening of the wrapper 12 and seal it with heat in a conventional manner. Referring to the wrap on the right side of Figure 1, in an alternative embodiment where the wrap is sterilized and filled through a pour tip of the wrap, the sealing procedure Included to provide a neck, using a nut such as a nut and/or a lid around the pour opening. Figure 5 shows a second embodiment of one of the sterilization chambers 36 of Figure 4. In this second embodiment, 'providing each contains more than one of the same A processing station for class 35 electron beam sterilizing device 18. In this manner, it is possible to sterilize more than one package at a time in each station. Preferably, the sterilizing device 18 can be connected to a common electronic device 120866.doc -17- 200812866 , similar to the one shown in Figure 3, the machine needs to provide a re-index of the package, that is, the first station, the Sco 4i ± station 1 Direct transportation to the first: station „中之第—Disinfection deviceΜ. A plurality of sterilization devices j 8 having different electron beam characteristics (e.g., due to different shapes and different configuration of the crotch) will be described below. A first sterilizing device 18, as shown in Fig. 6a, has a cylindrical circular body, and the eight sizes correspond to a size having a round bar interception/recovery and recovery. The cylinder 42 surrounds an electron beam generator and this. The filament of the living device and the illustration of the thumb are shown in the figure. At the axial end of the cylinder, an electron beam exit window 46 is provided. In this embodiment, the window material is planar, circular, and generally corresponds in size to the rounded end of the cylinder 42. The filament can be annular or linear. The grid is adapted to expand the electrons into a more uniform bundle and to cause the electron beam to generally pass through the entire surface of the window or through it. The manner in which the selected portion leaves the window 'focuses the electron beam 20 toward the exit window 46. This configuration applies to radiation (for example) - the area in the form of the bottom portion of the wrapping plane. The sterilizing device 18 is then lowered into the package from the top end of the opening of the package, or the package is lifted to surround the sterilizing device. Alternatively, the sterilizing device is used to illuminate a region in the form of a circular symmetry or a dome-like wrapper tip portion. The sterilizing device 18 is then lowered from the bottom end of the opening of the package into the package or the package is lifted to surround the sterilizing device 18. Alternatively, the area is formed by a bottom raft and a wrapping inner side surrounding surface. This relative movement can then include a slow reduction of the sterilization device and a brief stop near the bottom of the package. A second sterilizing device 18, as shown in Figure 6b, is generally similar to the first sterilizing device, but the cylinder 42 is provided with a narrow circular nozzle 5''. Electron beam exit 120866.doc -18- 200812866 The port window 46 is placed in the one end of the shaft, and the horse is ten-sided and circular. The sterilizing device 18 can be used for a wheel having a narrow opening end, such as a bottle, which the sterilizing device needs to pass through the narrow open end to lower and raise the Ώ1. Configurations like this can also be used to enhance the electron beam 2〇 in a particular area (e.g., above an opening or a seal and above a small area of an irregular form). It will be appreciated that the nozzle shape may be different from a circle, for example it may be square 'rectangular, triangular: circling or having any other shape.

It is used to create a flat 夂* 具有 having a circular bundle 20 in the direction of the respective fillers 46. If four (five) - one solid ports 46 are arranged as shown, the disinfecting device 18 is adapted for use in a radiation-symmetric square, cornered package. To provide a uniform dose on the side of the package (four), the windows are preferably aligned to face the corners. This configuration also applies to the radiation-round inner surrounding surface. With the configuration in the first sterilizer, when the material is wrapped around the surface of the cylindrical package, this configuration will be faster because the average electronic path length is shorter. A fourth sterilizing device 丨 8, as shown in Fig. 6d, is generally similar to the previous one and also has a township f-portion 46 in the cylindrical like surface. A window 46 can also be provided at the end of the cylinder. The resulting electron beam 20 is diffused downwardly and laterally, and the sterilizing device 18 is adapted to radiate a region comprising a generally planar wrapped bottom and an inner surrounding surface of the wrap. A fifth sterilizing device 18, as shown in Figure 6e, is generally similar to the first device but having an axial square planar electron beam exit window 46. The size of the window 46 is greater than the cross section of the circular body 42. Therefore, a window 乜 120866.doc -19- 200812866 2 - flange 52 is arranged. The end of the flange 52 connected to the circular body 42 is a square at one end of the round window 46. The grid is adapted to focus the electron beam 2() toward the exit window 46 by causing the electricity to pass generally through the entire surface of the window σ or a selected portion thereof away from the window. This configuration is suitable for areas where the Han shot is also the bottom part of the I 1 square or the inside surface of the square. 2, the window 46 has another shape, such as an ellipse or a cross, for radiating a package of the corresponding shape. For the user's, the sterilizing device 18, as shown in Figure 6f, is generally similar to the previous 'but with a difference in that it can be applied to one end of the radiating non-planar open-circle ^ circular body 42 to provide a funnel shape Part M. The width of the funnel 24 increases in a direction away from the cylinder 42. On the inside of the funnel "P knife 54, multiple electronic outlet windows are conical %. The 隹 56 is gradually reduced in the direction toward the cylinder (four). In this manner, the exit window 46 can be moved closer to the wrapping surface even if the surface has - (d) or it has a protruding seal. Preferably, the device can be lightly fired - in the form of an outer side of the top portion of a similar bottle. In addition, the cup can also be irradiated. In the method of the present invention, for example, at least the first and second disinfecting devices can be used to eliminate _ _ θ , 丄, similar to the package wrapped in the left side of Figure 1 . The first disinfection m toxic - contains the area surrounding the surface of the surface and the top portion of the surface and the first / toxic device provides an additional = strong for the area of the inside of the mouth. The sixth sterilizing device can be added to sterilize a package comprising the outer side surface #近开口14. The area of p points. Relative movement is suitable for each area. Although the present invention has been described in terms of the presently preferred embodiments, it should be understood that, without departing from the scope and scope of the ambiguity in the scope of the invention appended to the present invention, 120886.doc • 20-200812866 may be performed. Various modifications and changes. In the additional example, two processing stations are combined. For example, the first and second stations are provided at the phase = position to first sterilize the package of the electron beam disinfection device of the station and then sterilize the package using the electron beam of the second station. The package is not transported anywhere between the light doses, but instead the sterilization devices are moved during the stop of the package. In the example of Fig. 4, for example, the first station can be supplied to the main unit although $^U. J provides two money fields in the brother station ^ (four). - The first adjustment is to disinfect the area of the inside of the seal, and the second is the area where the disinfection is the form of the top part. Also, for example, the second station and the additional second station can be combined and then the sterilization devices can be arranged, for example, to surround the other. In addition, the package has been described as having an inner surrounding surface, the package has a circular cross-section, and the main working direction should be tight. The inner surface of the package should be interpreted as the inner side wall or the wrapping wall, and the wrapped cross-section It can have almost any shape, such as circular, positive;; package: shape, ellipse, triangle, rectangle or other shape.
