the replacement gas may be, for example, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon or oxygen or a mixture of these or other gases.
the packaging machine has a loading and / or degassing means, with which the individual packaging troughs of a format can be at least partially individually degassed or degassed.
a loading and / or degassing means with which the individual packaging troughs of a format can be at least partially individually degassed or degassed.
the gassing and degassing means are provided as a unit.
a plurality of packaging trays are formed in the Unterwaren train per clock, filled and then closed.
Such a format has at least one column, wherein one column has a plurality of packaging troughs arranged transversely to the transport direction of the lower fabric web.
such a format has a plurality of such columns, which are arranged one behind the other with respect to the transport direction of the lower fabric web.
a format also has several rows of packaging trays parallel to the transport direction of the
Degassing per packaging tray, per row and / or per column of a format each have a shut-off, such as a valve is provided.
a shut-off such as a valve
the packaging machine has a measuring means, preferably a measuring means per packaging tray, a measuring means per row and / or a measuring means per column of a format, with each of the pressure and / or concentration of at least one gas component in the / the packaging trough is detected.
the packaging machine according to the invention is provided with a control that regulates, for example, the obturator. In particular, this regulation takes place on the basis of one or more signals of the measuring means.
the packaging machine according to the invention has a means by which the level of the packaged goods in the respective packaging tray and / or the filling quantity of the packaged goods within the respective packaging tray can be determined. As a function of this measurement signal, the shut-off device can in turn be regulated, for example, in order to individually regulate the gas volume taken or supplied to the respective packaging trough.
the gassing and / or degassing agent is preferably a replacement part which is exchanged during a format change.
the aeration or degassing means is provided by means of a quick release on the packaging machine according to the invention.
Another object of the present invention is a method for producing a package in which a web is cyclically transported along a packaging machine and per cycle a format of several packaging trays is formed in the web, the packaging trays are then filled with a packaged goods and then a top product web the packaging troughs are sealed, wherein prior to sealing the packaging troughs degassed and / or a gas exchange is carried out and in which the packaging troughs of a format are at least partially individually discharged and / or fumigated.
Packaging troughs of a format at least partially individually each to individually and / or fumigated.
Produced packaging tray or the respective packaging tray is regulated.
FIG. 1 shows the packaging machine according to the invention.
FIG. 2 shows the sealing station of the packaging machine according to the invention.
FIG. 3 shows the degassing or fumigant of the sealing station according to FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 shows the packaging machine 1 according to the invention, which has a thermoforming station 2, a filling station 7 and a sealing station 19.
Plastic film web 8 the so-called lower web, is withdrawn from a supply roll and cyclically transported along the packaging machine according to the invention from right to left. At one cycle, the web 8 is transported on by one format length.
the packaging machine has two transport means, in the present case in each case two endless chains, which are arranged to the right and left of the film web. Both at the beginning and at the end of the packaging machine at least one gear is provided for each chain in each case, around which the respective chain is deflected. At least one of these gears is driven. The gears in the entrance area and / or in the
Exit region can be connected to each other, preferably by a rigid shaft.
Each transport means has a plurality of clamping means which grip the web 8 in the inlet region 26 by clamping and transmit the movement of the transport means to the lower film 8.
the clamping connection between the transport and the web 8 is released again.
the thermoforming station 2 which has an upper tool 3 and a lower tool 4, which has the shape of the packaging tray to be produced, the packaging trays 6 are formed in the film web 8.
the lower tool 4 is arranged on a lifting table 5, which, as symbolized by the double arrow, is vertically adjustable.
the lower tool 4 is lowered and then raised again.
the packaging trays are then filled in the filling station 7 with the packaged goods 16.
Sealing station 19 which also consists of an upper tool 12 and a vertically adjustable lower tool 1 1, a top film 14 is firmly bonded, preferably by sealing, to the web 8. Also in the sealing station, the upper tool and / or the lower tool are lowered before and after each film transport or
Packaging depression generates a certain negative pressure and / or there is a gas exchange.
the generation of the negative pressure or the gas exchange are preferably carried out while the respective packaging tray is within the sealing station, preferably immediately before the sealing tools 11, 12 are pressed against each other.
the upper film 14 may be guided in means of transport or be transported by transport chains, this transport then only from the sealing station and possibly
Cross cutter 25 and the slitter 27 takes place.
the cross cutter 25 can also be raised or lowered in the present case by means of a lifting device 9.
FIG. 2 shows the sealing station of the packaging machine according to the invention, in which an upper film web is sealed onto the filled packaging troughs 6.
the not yet closed with a lid film packaging trays are provided with the reference numeral 6, the already closed packaging trays with the reference numeral 6 ' .
this packaging machine works in cycles, with a format 15 at each cycle, which in the present case consists of three rows 24 and three columns 18 of packaging trays, to a certain extent in particular by the length of the packaging tray Formats 15 is transported on. The transport direction is symbolized by an arrow.
air is sucked out of the packaging trays according to the invention. This takes place in the present case with a degassing 17.
This degassing 17 is according to the invention designed so that the gas volume, the respective
Packaging tray is removed, can be controlled individually.
the packaging machine according to the invention in the present case, a fumigant 13, which may be identical or similar to the degassing 17 constructed. However, it is also possible to carry out the degassing and the gassing with the same agent. Also with the fumigant, it is possible to supply the quantity of gas supplied to the respective packaging trough and / or that supplied to the respective packaging trough
the degassing agent can also be provided so that only the rows or columns of a format are individually loaded and / or degassed d. H. the packaging trays of the respective row or the respective column are treated the same.
