Definitions
- the invention relates to a, in particular as a plastic injection molded part, preferably (apart from an optional, integrated o- or separate closure) one-piece, plastic pourer (Spout) for stand-up pouches, especially for beverages according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for its production ge According to the preamble of claim 10. Furthermore, the invention relates to a stand-up pouch with such a spout and a method for producing the stand bag according to the preamble of claim 17. Stand-up pouches are well known as film packaging containers for beverages.
- stand-up pouches comprise a so-called spout (plastic pourer), which is sealed to the stand-up pouch film, so that the plastic pourer is enclosed on all sides by the stand-up pouch film.
- the plastic pourer comprises an integrally molded pouring spout, which can be closed on the outside of the stand-up bag with a closure, usually a screw cap or a sealed seal.
- stand-up pouch films usually have a barrier layer, for example of aluminum. Vulnerability in terms of gas tightness are the plastic spouts (spouts), which are usually used without a barrier layer.
- JP 2009-0461 66 A This problem has already been described in JP 2009-0461 66 A.
- a vacuum is applied to the plastic pourer.
- placed barrier layer of SiO x wherein the barrier layer according to the teaching of the document to improve the feel should not be located on the outside of the plastic pourer. Therefore, the Japanese publication proposes a multi-part design of the plastic pourer, wherein a main part comprising a spout tube provided on its outer side with the barrier layer and then the barrier layer is protected by another tubular member which is pushed onto the barrier layer of the main part.
- the barrier layer is not on the outside of the finished plastic pourer, but is sandwiched between two plastic layers, with an inner of these plastic layers, namely the spout of the main part forming plastic layer forms the uncoated inner surface of the spout and directly with the drink during pouring comes into contact.
- plastic packaging containers are formed by injection molding, deep-drawing and / or blow molding. It is also known from the prior art to provide sealing zones on the plastic packaging containers, to which sealing means, in particular in the form of sealing films, are sealed with a sealing material.
- the plastic packaging container has a barrier layer to increase the für Dispersr Sign against moisture and / or gases.
- a humidity- or oxygen-sensitive filling material in particular a food
- the plastic packaging container has a barrier layer to increase the für Dispersr Sign against moisture and / or gases.
- Such vacuum applied in the vacuum Layers are described for example in EP 1 048 746 A1 or WO2009 / 030425 A1.
- a disadvantage of the known barrier layers is that conventional sealing materials adhere poorly to these, which can lead to unwanted detachment of sealing foils or other closure means which are intended for sealing to the sealing zones, which may be due to such disadvantages completely on such a coating is waived.
- a plastic pourer (Spout) is known, whose spout tube is provided on the inner circumference with a barrier layer produced in vacuum.
- the document is silent. If the sealing zone is not masked during the vapor deposition with the barrier layer, it is to be assumed that the sealability is poor, since the barrier layer then covers the surface of the sealing zone and thus impedes or hampers the sealing process.
- US 2009/0139993 A1 discloses a plastic spout not provided with a barrier layer (Spout). The publication discloses the provision of a rough surface of the sealing zone - barrier layer-related sealing problems are not lack of barrier layer. The document is silent about the condition of the surface of the spout's spout.
- the present invention seeks to provide a plastic pourer (Spout) for stand-up pouches and a method for its production, wherein the plastic pourer is to be characterized by a barrier layer, which is optimally protected against damage, without the emergency to form the plastic pourer as in the art in several parts. Furthermore, the object is to provide a stand-up pouch with a correspondingly improved plastic pourer and a method for producing a suitably improved bag.
- the invention is based on the idea to provide the plastic pouring spout of the preferably one-piece plastic spout at least in sections, preferably axially throughout, with a preferably generated in vacuum barrier layer, so that the barrier layer or an optional coating layer directly limits the fluid channel on its inner circumference
- the beverage during pouring can come either in direct contact with the barrier layer or an optional lacquer layer, and it is particularly preferred if it is dispensed with the aforementioned lacquer layer.
- the barrier layer is present Protected damage, which is advantageous or indicated insofar as that plastic pourer are usually processed or transported as bulk material and thus it can lead to abrasion of any outer barrier layer.
- the barrier layer according to the invention is not sandwiched between two components but is located on the inner periphery of the spout, either in direct contact with the beverage or at least in indirect contact, if the aforementioned optional varnish layer were to be provided, which is even further preferably not the case.
- the inventive provision of the barrier layer on the inner periphery of the, preferably one-piece spout (spout) is not trivial, since the spouts of interest here have a very unfavorable length / diameter ratio of> 1, preferably> 2 for a vacuum barrier coating.
- the length of the spout is greater than the diameter (inner diameter) of, preferably at least innenzylindrischen spout, whereby the at least one coating gas, in particular a precursor gas can not penetrate sufficiently deep into the spout.
- the surface, in particular the majority of the surface, of the sealing zone of the spout has a higher average roughness than the inner surface, preferably as the majority of the inner surface of the (plastic) spout and that the surface of the sealing zone has a medium Surface roughness of at least 200nm.
- the term "majority” is to be understood in each case as an area fraction of more than 50% and surface roughness as the average roughness R a of the surface measured in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4288: 1998.
- the roughness values refer, unless otherwise stated, to the uncoated state of the plastic pourer, ie to the state before the coating. th or on the roughness of the surface of the plastic packaging container without barrier layer.
- DIN EN ISO 4288: 1998 to determine the roughness values, any waviness of the surface is filtered in the usual way, for example as described in DIN EN ISO 1562: 1998-09.
- the sealing zone is the region of the plastic pourer which is suitable and intended to be sealed with the stand-up pouch film, in particular a sealing film, by a sealing material, in particular a varnish system or polyethylene or polypropylene.
- a sealing material in particular a varnish system or polyethylene or polypropylene.
- the sealing zone extends along two opposite sides of the plastic pourer, so that the pourer can be sandwiched or sandwiched either between two stand-up pouches or two edge sides of a folded stand-up pouch, such that the pouring tube exposes the pouring tube Standing bag overhangs outwards.
- the sealing zone is located laterally on a thickened region of the spout, which is surmounted by the spout.
- the sealing material may be applied to the stand-up pouch film or may be an integrated component, in particular by forming the stand-up pouch film as a laminate film and / or separately applied to the sealing zone and / or the stand-up pouch film prior to the sealing step.
- the roughness comparison is to be performed between the sealing zone and the inner surface of the spout to be coated.
- the surface of the sealing zone is preferred for better sealability with a sealing material, preferably in an area fraction of at least 50%, with a higher average roughness than the average surface roughness, preferably of at least 50% area fraction of the inner surface of the cavity to produce.
- the roughness of the sealing zone is higher than the roughness of the other surface to be coated, in particular the inner surface and / or the outer surface.
- the measurement of surface roughness is preferably performed on a plastic pourer not yet coated with a barrier layer.
- the measurement is also possible on the spout provided with the barrier layer, since the barrier layer rests against the rough surface of the sealing zone and is also very thin. Therefore, if necessary, a measurement can also be carried out on the coated plastic pourer, in the event that, for example for the detection of an injury, an uncoated plastic pourer is not available.
- the formation of the surface roughness according to the invention after coating the sealing zone ensures that the barrier layer in the sealing zone during sealing of the stand-up pouch film by a common sealing process, in particular acting surface pressure perpendicular to the surface and / or acting on the barrier layer Temperature action, at least partially broken, whereby the sealing material comes into direct contact with the plastic pourer, so the barrier layer does not completely separate the sealing material from the plastic material of the plastic pourer, which improves the overall sealability.
- the break-up effect can be explained, inter alia, by applying the barrier layer so thinly that due to the roughness the resulting layer thickness is not homogeneous and / or the layer does not cover the complete surface of the sealing zone. covers. At the points with a thinner layer, this can be broken up by the forces acting on the seal. The thin areas thus act as predetermined breaking points. Overall, the seal material can come into direct contact with the plastic material of the spouts by the breaking up.
