Description

DESCRIPTION

Container provision

Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a packaging arrangement.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a packaging arrangement for fluids, pastes and powders and that is adapted to be located within a box and / or container.

Background of the invention

Various types of packaging arrangements are known for the transport or storage of liquids, such as food products and chemical products. These foodstuffs and chemical products either go off with devices such as pumps or pressure devices or auto-vade due to gravity.

The state of the art according to US 2013/092706 A1 discloses a packaging arrangement for the manipulation of masses of fluid material including an inner bag adapted to contain fluid material. The inner bag has a product inlet, through which the fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet, through which the fluid product can flow out of the inner bag; and a surrounding member adapted to surround the inner bag and adapted to form two air pockets or air compartments between the surrounding member and the inner bag, the two pockets having air inlets through which air can be introduced into the air pockets. pockets and thus pressure can be placed on the inner bag to force the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet. The two pockets are arranged on both sides of the inner bag and the product outlet. This leads to the drawback that a complete emptying of the packaging arrangement is not possible.

The state of the art according to WO 2010/105147 describes a protective support for portable objects and has an inner layer and an outer layer welded together to form a compartment that is surrounded by inflatable air chambers. The compartment has an opening at one end, through which objects are inserted. The open end can be closed with a tamper resistant fluid resistant seal and secured by buckles, making the compartment resistant to leakage. The air chambers that are connected together can be inflated and deflated through a valve. This state of the art is very far from the invention because it does not have an inner bag with a product inlet and a product outlet.

Object of the invention is to suggest a new packaging arrangement for the manipulation of masses of fluid material, whose packaging arrangement is suitable for use in boxes and / or containers and a complete emptying of the packaging arrangement is ensured.

Compendium of the invention

According to the invention, a container arrangement for the manipulation of masses of fluid material and which is adapted to be located inside a box and / or outer container, includes

(a) an inner bag for containing fluid material, the inner bag having a product inlet, through which the fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet, through which the fluid material can flow out of the bag;

(b) a surrounding member adapted to surround the inner bag and adapted to form at least five air pockets or air compartments between the surrounding member and the inner bag, the air pockets or air compartments having air inlets, through which air can be introduced into the air pockets or air compartments and thus putting pressure on the inner bag to force the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.

The packaging arrangement is flexible.

The surrounding member consists of at least two layers.

The surrounding member may have 7 air pockets or air compartments.

Five of the air pockets or air compartments may be adapted to receive air.

Two of the air pockets or air compartments may be adapted to receive no air.

Three of the air pockets or air compartments are interconnected by means of holes between them. The air pockets or air compartments may be formed by sealing lugs on the surrounding member.

The package arrangement may include three air intakes to fill all five air pockets or air compartments adapted to receive air.

The package arrangement may have a bladder shape.

The packaging arrangement can consist of transparent material to allow fluids, pastes and / or powders to be visible from the outside.

The box and / or container can be an intermediate mass container (ICB).

The packaging arrangement can be a liquid coating.

The package arrangement may include a manifold within the inner bag to assist in forcing fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.

The collector can be a loose device inserted inside the inner bag.

The fluid material may be powder, paste-like, fluid and / or liquid.

The mass intermediate container can have a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons or approximately 189 to 2000 liters.

The invention also extends to a method for supplying bulk material and to a method for producing the package arrangement as described herein.
