VORRICHTUNG ZUR BEHANDLUNG VON FLEXIBLEN, SCHLAUCHARTIGEN GEBILDEN, INSBESONDERE VON BEUTELN DEVICE FOR TREATING FLEXIBLE, HALF-ORIGINAL IMAGES, IN PARTICULAR BAGS
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Behandlung von flexiblen, schlauchartigen Gebilden, insbesondere von Beuteln, mit einem Rahmen, und mit zumindest einer das Gebilde auf einer Teilstrecke einer Bewegungsbahn beaufschlagenden Bearbeitungsvorrichtung.The invention relates to a device for the treatment of flexible, hose-like structures, in particular of bags, with a frame, and with at least one of the structure acting on a part of a path of movement processing device.
Bei den schlauchartigen Gebilden handelt es sich üblicherweise um solche, die über wenigstens eine Öffnung verfügen Durch diese Öffnung mögen Greifer in das schlauchartige Gebilde einfahren und in Anlage an beispielsweise vertikale Kanten des Gebildes für dessen Fixierung und Transport entlang der Bewegungsbahn sorgen Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Möglichkeiten des Transportes denkbar und werden von der Erfindung umfasst. Ebenso ist die Erfindung natürlich nicht auf die Behandlung von Beuteln begrenzt.The hose-like structures are usually those which have at least one opening through this opening grippers may retract into the tubular structure and provide contact with, for example, vertical edges of the structure for its fixation and transport along the trajectory Of course, other possibilities Transport conceivable and are encompassed by the invention. Likewise, the invention is of course not limited to the treatment of bags.
Sofern Beutel bearbeitet werden, entstammen diese meistens einer flachen Hüllstoffbahn, welche durch thermische Siegelung, Ultraschall, Verkleben oder ähnliche Vorgänge mit den jeweiligen Beutelböden ausgerüstet ist. Diese Hüllstoffbahnen können, beispielsweise von einer Rolle kommen, mit Hilfe von einem jeweiligem Trennschnitt vereinzelt werden und zwecks weiterer Bearbeitung einzeln oder in Gruppen an die Bearbeitungsvorrichtung übergeben werden. Darüber hinaus liegt es selbstverständlich im Rahmen der Erfindung schon vorgefertigte Beutel zu bearbeiten.If bags are processed, these usually come from a flat Hüllstoffbahn, which is equipped by thermal sealing, ultrasound, gluing or similar operations with the respective bag bottoms. These wrapping material webs can, for example, come from a roll, be separated with the help of a respective separating cut and transferred for further processing individually or in groups to the processing device. Moreover, it is self-evident within the scope of the invention to process pre-made bags.
Unter Bearbeitung werden sämtliche Vorgänge verstanden, die den Beutel bzw. das Gebilde und/oder das darin eingefüllte Produkt verändern. Hierzu gehört nicht nur das simple Befüllen des fraglichen Beutels, sondern auch das Aufbringen von Ausgießern, Adaptern und Ventilen, sowie die weitere Formung und Konturierung des Beutels. Außerdem wird mit Bearbeiten das Anbringen von Etiketten, Aufhangern, Reitern bezeichnet. Schließlich gehören hierzu Prozessvorgange, wie die Begasung des Beutels von außen oder innen mit Inertgas, dessen Steπlisierung und gegebenenfalls eine Staubabsaugung.Machining means all processes that change the bag or the structure and / or the product filled therein. This includes not only the simple filling of the bag in question, but also the application of spouts, adapters and valves, as well as the further shaping and contouring of the bag. In addition, editing refers to the attachment of labels, hangers, tabs. Finally, this includes process operations, such as gassing the bag from the outside or inside with inert gas, its Steπlisierung and possibly a dust extraction.
Im Stand der Technik, wie in der US-PS 5 862 653 sowie der EP 0 765 807 beschrieben, wird meistens derart vorgegangen, dass der Beutel im Beispielfall zumindest auf einer Teilstrecke der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung so beaufschlagt wird, dass die für die Bearbeitung notwendigen Aggregate von unten her kommend den Beutel beaufschlagen Bei anderen Systemen liegen die Bearbeitungsaggregate oberhalb der Beutel. Dagegen findet sich ihr Antrieb unterhalb. In jedem Fall sind die bekannten Maschinen und Vorrichtungen dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass unterhalb der Beutel Aggregate, Antriebe, Gehäuseteile, Vorbauten, Hebel oder Arme sowie gegebenenfalls Rahmenteile platziert sind.In the prior art, as described in US Pat. No. 5,862,653 and EP 0 765 807, the procedure is usually such that, in the exemplary case, the bag is acted upon at least over a partial section of the processing device in such a way that the aggregates required for the processing of Coming to the bottom of the bag In other systems, the processing units are located above the bags. In contrast, their drive is below. In any case, the known machines and devices characterized in that below the bag units, drives, housing parts, stems, levers or arms and optionally frame parts are placed.
Im Betrieb der Vorrichtung kann es trotz äußerster Sorgfalt dazu kommen, dass das eingefüllte Produkt spritzt, staubt oder schlichtweg neben den Beutel dosiert wird. Das ist besonders dann unangenehm, wenn es sich um flüssige Produkte handelt, die möglicherweise auch noch klebrig sind. Als Folge hiervon müssen bisher intensive Reinigungsarbeiten vorgenommen werden. Außerdem wird hierdurch gegebenenfalls die Funktionsweise der Vorrichtungen gestört. Das treibt zusammen genommen die Kosten hoch, wobei die Erfindung an dieser Stelle Abhilfe schaffen will.In the operation of the device, it may happen despite the utmost care that the filled product is injected, dusted or simply dosed next to the bag. This is particularly unpleasant when it comes to liquid products that may also be sticky. As a result, intensive cleaning work has been required to date. In addition, this may interfere with the operation of the devices, if necessary. This, taken together, increases the cost, and the invention seeks to remedy this situation.
Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, eine derartige Vorrichtung zur Behandlung von flexiblen, schlauchartigen Gebilden, insbesondere von Beuteln, so weiter zu entwickeln, dass Verschmutzungen auf ein Minimum reduziert werden und die Funktionsweise insgesamt verbessert ist.The invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a device for the treatment of flexible, hose-like structures, in particular of bags, so that soiling is reduced to a minimum and the functionality is improved overall.
Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung schlägt die Erfindung bei einer gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtung vor, dass unterhalb der Bewegungsbahn der Gebilde zumindest im Bereich der Teilstrecke ein Freiraum realisiert ist.To solve this technical problem, the invention proposes in a generic device, that below the trajectory of the structure at least in the area of the sub-section a free space is realized.
In diesem Freiraum befinden sich folglich unterhalb der fraglichen Bewegungsbahn keinerlei Teile, die beispielsweise durch Fehldosierungen der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung verschmutzen können. Bei diesen Teilen mag es sich um Bestandteile einer Mechanik, Pneumatik oder sonstige tisch- oder balkonartige Vorbauten handeln.In this free space are therefore below the movement path in question no parts that can pollute, for example, by incorrect dosing of the processing device. These parts may be components of a mechanism, pneumatics or other table or balcony-like stems.
Der Freiraum muss im Rahmen der Erfindung zumindest im Bereich der Teilstrecke realisiert sein, in welcher sich die Bearbeitungs- und/oder Dosiervorrichtungen befinden, kann selbstverständlich auch über die gesamte Länge der Bewegungsbahn seinen Niederschlag finden. Im übrigen schließt der fragliche Freiraum nicht aus, dass bodenseitig bzw. unterhalb des Freiraumes eine Auffangvorrichtung platziert wird.The free space must be realized within the scope of the invention, at least in the area of the section in which the processing and / or metering devices are located, can of course also be reflected over the entire length of the trajectory. Moreover, the free space in question does not rule out that a collecting device is placed on the bottom side or below the free space.
Ebenfalls wird durch den Freiraum nicht ausgeschlossen, dass zumindest einseitig neben der Bewegungsbahn eine Spritzwand oder ein Spritzblech ausgebildet wird, wobei im Vergleich zum bekannten Stand der Technik eine geschlossene Fläche gebildet wird, welche keine Schutzecken oder gar so genannte Dreckecken aufweist, wodurch eine einfache und schnelle Reinigung ermöglicht wird. Um den fraglichen Freiraum im Detail zu realisieren, ist der die wenigstens eine Bearbeitungsvorrichtung auf der Teilstrecke tragende Rahmen als zumindest die besagte Teilstrecke überspannende Brücke oder Brückenkonstruktion ausgebildet. Die Brücke oder die Brückenkonstruktion nimmt sowohl die betreffende Bearbeitungsvorrichtung als auch einen Führungsstrang zum Transport der Gebilde auf und positioniert diese sämtlichen Teile oberhalb der darunter befindlichen Bewegungsbahn der Gebilde.Also, it is not excluded by the free space that at least one side next to the movement path, a bulkhead or a splashboard is formed, in comparison to the prior art, a closed surface is formed, which has no protective corners or even so-called dirt corners, creating a simple and fast cleaning is possible. In order to realize the free space in question in detail, the frame carrying the at least one processing device on the subsection is designed as a bridge or bridge construction spanning at least the said subsection. The bridge or bridge construction receives both the relevant processing device and a guide strand for transporting the structures and positions these all parts above the underlying trajectory of the structures.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zeichnet sich also zumindest auf der Teilstrecke mit der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung durch eine spezielle Brückenkonstruktion aus. Tatsächlich ist an dieser Stelle der Rahmen als Brücke ausgebildet oder weist eine solche Brücke auf, die ihrerseits sowohl die Bearbeitungsvorrichtung als auch den Führungsstrang zum Transport der Gebilde festlegt, und zwar sämtlich oberhalb der darunter befindlichen Bewegungsbahn der Gebilde. Auf diese Weise werden die Bearbeitungsvorrichtung und der Führungsstrang oberhalb der Bewegungsbahn und folglich auch oberhalb der Gebilde positioniert, die ihrerseits im Allgemeinen hängend unterhalb des Führungsstranges transportiert werden. Zu diesem Zweck verfügt der Führungsstrang über wenigstens einen Greifer je Gebilde. In der Regel sind jeweils ein Gebilde haltende Greiferpaare am Führungsstrang realisiert.The device according to the invention is therefore characterized, at least on the partial section with the processing device, by a special bridge construction. In fact, at this point, the frame is formed as a bridge or has such a bridge, which in turn defines both the processing device and the guide strand for transporting the structures, all above the underlying trajectory of the structures. In this way, the processing device and the guide strand are positioned above the path of movement and consequently also above the formations, which in turn are generally suspended below the guide strand. For this purpose, the guide strand has at least one gripper per structure. In general, a structure holding gripper pairs are realized on the guide track in each case.
Die Greifer bzw. Greiferpaare zur Halterung der Gebilde sind hängend an den Führungsstrang angeschlossen, so dass die Beutel automatisch unterhalb des Führungsstranges und damit in der Bewegungsbahn ihre Anordnung erfahren und diese definieren. Denn die Greifer bzw. Greiferpaare greifen üblicherweise von oben her in die Öffnung bzw. Einfüllöffnung des jeweiligen Beutels ein und halten diesen durch Anlage an dessen jeweils vertikalen Enden unter Spannung, um die Bearbeitung mit Hilfe der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung vornehmen zu können. Selbstverständlich sind hier auch andere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten der Beutel mit Hilfe der Greifer denkbar, beispielsweise mit Hilfe von Klammern, per Saughebern, etc..The gripper or gripper pairs for holding the structures are connected in a suspended manner to the guide strand, so that the bags automatically undergo their arrangement below the guide strand and thus in the path of movement and define it. For the gripper or gripper pairs usually engage from above into the opening or filling opening of the respective bag and hold it by conditioning at the respective vertical ends under tension to make the processing using the processing device can. Of course, here are also other ways of attaching the bag using the gripper conceivable, for example by means of brackets, by suction, etc.
Es hat sich bewährt, wenn die Brücke bzw. Brückenkonstruktion auf außerhalb der Teilstrecke positionierten Säulen oder Basen ruht. In der Regel ist die Brücke bzw. Brückenkonstruktion im Wesentlichen horizontal angeordnet, wohingegen sich die Basen überwiegend vertikal erstrecken. Dadurch formt die Brücke in Verbindung mit den Basen insgesamt ein nach unten offenes Gerüst. In der Regel verlaufen die Brücke und der Führungsstrang parallel zueinander in übereinander angeordneter Position. Die vorerwähnten Basen sind jeweils beabstandet zu der Brücke und dem Führungsstrang angeordnet und liegen sich meistens paarweise in Bezug auf den Führungsstrang bzw. die Bewegungsbahn der Gebilde gegenüber. Tatsächlich ist meistens die Brücke und mit ihr der Führungsstrang auf einer Spiegelebene in Bezug auf die jeweils beidseitig hiervon angeordneten Paare an Basen platziert.It has proven useful if the bridge or bridge construction rests on columns or bases positioned outside the section. In general, the bridge or bridge construction is arranged substantially horizontally, whereas the bases extend predominantly vertically. As a result, the bridge, in conjunction with the bases, forms an overall open-ended framework. As a rule, the bridge and the guide strand run parallel to one another in a superimposed position. The abovementioned bases are each arranged at a distance from the bridge and the guide strand and are usually opposite in pairs in relation to the guide strand or the path of movement of the structures. In fact, most often the bridge and with it the guide strand is placed on a mirror plane with respect to the respective pairs of bases arranged on both sides.
Die Basen sind folglich Bestandteil des die Teilstrecke mit der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung oder des mit den mehreren Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen überbauenden und nach unten offenen Gerüstes. Dabei verlaufen die Brücke und die Basen wie auch die Führungsbahn und folglich die Bewegungsbahn jeweils gleichgerichtet, und zwar in einer durch die Bewegungsbahn definierten Längsrichtung. Durch die symmetrische Anordnung der Basen in Bezug auf die Bewegungsbahn, die Brücke und den Führungsstrang wird erreicht, dass die Basen beidseitig der Bewegungsbahn in vorgegebenem Querabstand zueinander platziert sind. Meistens arbeitet man auch mit vorgegebenem Längsabstand der jeweiligen Basen zueinander, wobei bevorzugt die jeweiligen Längsabstände und Querabstände jeweils gleich ausgebildet sind, um die Herstellung des Gerüstes zu vereinfachen.The bases are therefore part of the subsection with the processing device or the framework that is overhanging with the several processing devices and is open at the bottom. In this case, the bridge and the bases as well as the guideway and consequently the movement path are in each case rectilinear, in a longitudinal direction defined by the movement path. The symmetrical arrangement of the bases with respect to the trajectory, the bridge and the guide strand ensures that the bases are placed on both sides of the trajectory at a predetermined transverse distance from each other. In most cases, one also works with a given longitudinal spacing of the respective bases relative to one another, with the respective longitudinal distances and transverse distances preferably being identical in each case in order to simplify the production of the framework.
Zur Steigerung der Stabilität verfügt das Gerüst ferner über Horizontalstreben, die die im Wesentlichen vertikal angeordneten Basenpaare jeweils miteinander verbinden. An diesen Horizontalstreben ist die Brücke aufgehängt und sorgt somit für die Verbindung von jeweils aus den Basenpaaren und sie verbindenden Horizontalstreben gebildeten Firste untereinander.To increase the stability of the scaffold also has horizontal struts, which connect the substantially vertically arranged base pairs each with each other. At this horizontal struts, the bridge is suspended and thus provides for the connection of each of the base pairs and connecting them horizontal struts formed among themselves.
Da die Gebilde bzw. Beutel zumindest im Bereich der Teilstrecke meistens hängend an den Greiferpaaren entlang der Bewegungsbahn transportiert werden und insofern oberhalb der Beutel die Führungsbahn, die Bearbeitungsvorrichtung und die die beiden vorerwähnten Elemente tragende Brücke angeordnet ist, lässt sich automatisch unterhalb der Bewegungsbahn der Gebilde der gewünschte Freiraum zumindest im Bereich der Teilstrecke definieren.Since the structures or bags, at least in the region of the subsection, are usually transported suspended from the gripper pairs along the movement path and insofar the guide track, the processing device and the bridge carrying the two above-mentioned elements are arranged above the bags, the structure can be automatically moved below the movement path of the structures define the desired clearance at least in the area of the leg.
Bodenseitig bzw. unterhalb des Freiraumes kann die bereits angesprochene Auffangvorrichtung platziert werden. Mit Hilfe dieser Auffangvorrichtung können beispielsweise zu viel dosierte Produkte, Stäube, spritzende Flüssigkeit etc. aufgenommen werden. Dadurch bleibt der unterhalb der Auffangvorrichtung vorhandene Raum praktisch vollständig von Verschmutzungen frei und die Auffangvorrichtung kann zudem einfach gereinigt werden, indem sie abgeklappt wird. Im Übrigen empfiehlt sich die Anbringung von Dränagen und/oder Ablaufkanälen auf oder in der Auffangvorrichtung, so dass die Reinigungswirkung nochmals erhöht wird.On the bottom side or below the free space, the already mentioned collecting device can be placed. With the help of this collection device, for example, too much dosed products, dusts, spraying liquid, etc. can be absorbed. As a result, the existing space below the catcher remains virtually completely free of contamination and the catcher can also be easily cleaned by being folded down. Incidentally, the attachment of drainage and / or drainage channels on or in the collecting device, so that the cleaning effect is increased again recommended.
Im Ergebnis wird eine Vorrichtung zur Behandlung von flexiblen, schlauchartigen Gebilden, insbesondere von Beuteln, vorgestellt, die zumindest im Bereich einer Teilstrecke ihrer Bewegungsbahn über einen sich unterhalb der Bewegungsbahn erstreckenden Freiraum verfügt. Dazu ist zumindest im Bereich der Teilstrecke der Bewegungsbahn eine die fragliche Teilstrecke überspannende Brücke als Bestandteil eines nach unten offenen Gerüstes vorgesehen. Auf diese Weise wird automatisch unterhalb der Gebilde bzw. Beutel respektive unterhalb der Bewegungsbahn der Freiraum geschaffen, an den sich unterhalb und vorteilhaft die Auffangvorrichtung anschließt. Als Ergebnis ist die Reinigungsdauer deutlich reduziert und die Standzeit der Vorrichtung erhöht, wird folglich ein bedeutender Kostenvorteil gegenüber bisherigen Ausführungsformen erreicht.As a result, a device for the treatment of flexible, tube-like structures, in particular of bags, is presented, which has at least in the region of a part of its path of movement over a free space extending below the movement path. For this purpose, at least in the region of the partial path of the movement path, a bridge spanning the partial section in question is provided as part of a downwardly open framework. In this way, the free space is created automatically below the structure or bag respectively below the trajectory, which is followed below and advantageous the catcher. As a result, the cleaning time is significantly reduced and the life of the device increased, thus a significant cost advantage over previous embodiments is achieved.

Die Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen 2 sind auf einer Teilstrecke 3, beispielsweise einer größtenteils kreisförmig umlaufenden Bewegungsbahn 4 angeordnet. Lediglich auf dieser Teilstrecke 3 werden die Gebilde bzw. Beutel 1 von den Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen 2 beaufschlagt. Die Beutel 1 definieren die Bewegungsbahn 4 bei ihrem Transport. Zur Halterung der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 2 und der Bewegungsbahn 4 ist ein Rahmen 5 vorgesehen, welcher vorliegend als wenigstens die Teilstrecke 3 überspannende Brücke oder Brückenkonstruktion 5 ausgeführt ist. Der Rahmen bzw. die Brücke 5 nimmt sowohl die Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen 2 als auch einen Führungsstrang 6 zum Transport der Gebilde respektive Beutel auf. Der Führungsstrang 6 definiert in Verbindung mit den Beuteln 1 die Bewegungsbahn 4 längs derer die Beutel 1 durch die Vorrichtung (im Kreis) geführt werden.In the figures, an apparatus for the treatment of flexible, hose-like structures is shown with at least one opening. These bags are not limited to bag 1. The bags 1 are moved by the said device along the transport arrow shown in FIG. 1 or in the longitudinal direction L and are acted upon by several processing devices 2 in this process. In fact, these processing devices 2 are in each case dosing devices or dosing devices which, in the example, meter different components of a ready-made soup into the bags 1 guided thereunder or their filling opening. Of course, quite different edits could be made, as they have been explained in the introduction. The processing devices 2 are arranged on a partial section 3, for example, a largely circular circumferential path of movement 4. Only on this section 3, the structures or bags 1 are acted upon by the processing devices 2. The bags 1 define the path of movement 4 during their transport. For holding the processing device 2 and the movement path 4, a frame 5 is provided, which in the present case is designed as at least the subsection 3 spanning bridge or bridge structure 5. The frame or the bridge 5 accommodates both the processing devices 2 and a guide strand 6 for transporting the structures or bags. The guide strand 6 defines, in connection with the bags 1, the movement path 4 along which the bags 1 are guided through the device (in a circle).
Mit Hilfe des Rahmens bzw. der Brücke 5 werden die Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen 2 und der Führungsstrang 6 sämtlich oberhalb der darunter befindlichen Bewegungsbahn 4 der Gebilde bzw. Beutel 1 positioniert. Tatsächlich sind an den Führungsstrang 6 im Ausführungsbeispiel und nicht einschränkend jeweils einen Beutel 1 haltende Greiferpaare G angeschlossen, und zwar hängend. Die zum Greiferpaar G gehörigen Greifer tauchen beispielsweise in die Öffnung respektive Einfüllöffnung der jeweiligen Beutel 1 ein und halten diese. Auf diese Weise wird automatisch erreicht, dass die Bewegungsbahn 4 unterhalb des Führungsstranges 6 angeordnet ist, der sich wiederum unterhalb der Brücke 5 befindet.With the help of the frame or the bridge 5, the processing devices 2 and the guide strand 6 are all positioned above the underlying movement path 4 of the structure or bag 1. In fact, in the exemplary embodiment and not restrictively, a bag 1 holding gripper pairs G are connected to the guide strand 6, and hanging. The grippers belonging to the gripper pair G dive, for example, into the opening or filling opening of the respective bags 1 and hold them. In this way, it is automatically achieved that the movement path 4 is arranged below the guide strand 6, which in turn is located below the bridge 5.
Sowohl die Brücke 5 als auch die Brücke 5 tragende Basen 7 laufen gleichgerichtet, und zwar in der durch die Bewegungsbahn 4 definierten Längsrichtung L, die mit der Transportrichtung der Beutel 1 und folglich der Bewegungsbahn 4 zusammenfällt. Die fraglichen Basen 7 sind außerhalb der Teilstrecke 3 positioniert. Tatsächlich finden sich jeweils beidseitig der Bewegungsbahn 4 in gleichem Querabstand zueinander platzierte Basenpaare 8 aus jeweils zwei Basen 7.Both the bridge 5 and the bridge 5 bearing bases 7 run rectified, in the defined by the movement path 4 longitudinal direction L, which coincides with the transport direction of the bag 1 and consequently the trajectory 4. The bases in question 7 are positioned outside the section 3. In fact, on both sides of the trajectory 4 in the same transverse distance from each other placed base pairs 8 from two bases 7th
Die Basen 7 respektive die Basenpaare 8 sind darüber hinaus in vorgegebenem und nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel gleichem Längsabstand zueinander in Längserstreckung bzw. in der Längsrichtung L angeordnet. Zur Verbindung der Basen 7 sind jeweils Horizontalstreben 9 vorgesehen. Jeweils ein Basenpaar 8 formt zusammen mit der die Basen 7 verbindenden Horizontalstrebe 9 einen dachartigen First 8, 9. Sämtliche Firste 8, 9 bzw. Basenpaare 8 werden durch die Brücke 5 in Längsrichtung L miteinander verbunden. Auf diese Weise formen die Basen 7 als Bestandteile ein die Teilstrecke 3 insgesamt überbauendes und nach unten offenes Gerüst 5, 7, 8, 9.In addition, the bases 7 and the base pairs 8 are arranged in a predetermined longitudinal spacing and in the longitudinal direction L, respectively, in the same longitudinal distance from one another according to the exemplary embodiment. For connecting the bases 7 each horizontal struts 9 are provided. In each case a base pair 8 forms, together with the horizontal strut 9 connecting the bases 7, a roof-like ridge 8, 9. All ridges 8, 9 or base pairs 8 are connected to one another in the longitudinal direction L by the bridge 5. In this way, the bases 7 form as constituents a framework 5, 7, 8, 9 which overbuilt the subsection 3 in total and opened downwards.
Dadurch, dass sämtliche relevanten Aggregate, also die Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen 2 und der Führungsstrang 6 oberhalb der Bewegungsbahn 4 für die Beutel 1 angeordnet sind, wobei dies auch für etwaige Motoren 10 zum Antrieb der Führungsbahn 4 gilt, wird unterhalb der Bewegungsbahn 4 der Beutel 1 ein Freiraum 11 definiert. Unterhalb diese Freiraumes 11 und folglich auch unterhalb der Bewegungsbahn 4 ist eine Auffangvorrichtung 12 platziert. Diese Auffangvorrichtung 12 fängt etwaigen Staub, spritzende Produkte etc. auf. Die Auffangvorrichtung 12 lässt sich bei Bedarf schwenken sowie einfach reinigen und ist zu diesem Zweck über ein Schwenklager 13 an das Gerüst 5, 7, 8, 9 bzw. eine Basis 7 angeschlossen. Due to the fact that all relevant units, that is to say the processing devices 2 and the guide strand 6, are arranged above the movement path 4 for the bags 1, whereby this also applies to any motors 10 for driving the guide track 4, the bag 1 becomes below the movement path 4 Free space 11 defined. Below this free space 11 and consequently also below the movement path 4, a collecting device 12 is placed. This collecting device 12 catches any dust, spattering products, etc. The collecting device 12 can be pivoted as needed and easy to clean and is connected for this purpose via a pivot bearing 13 to the frame 5, 7, 8, 9 and a base 7.
