  • the present invention relates to a method of opening packs by pressure, in particular a method of opening non-hermetic cigarette packs or hermetic packs.
  • packs herein means both individual packs and multi-packages containing a plurality of individual packs.
  • the cigarette packs as well as hermetically sealed packs containing any products, e.g. food products are opened in order to reclaim the product contained therein and the packaging material .
  • a disadvantage of the above described method also consists in that it may not be used for the packs that are not sealed as they are difficult to be effectively expanded. Moreover, the piercing of the packs may also cause piercing of the cigarettes contained therein. This in turn may cause comminution of the tobacco that is afterwards removed from these cigarettes which is also disadvantageous.
  • the method according to the invention relates to opening non-hermetic packs by pressure, in particular non-hermetic cigarette packs.
  • the method is characterized in that at least one pack is located in a pressure chamber, the pressure inside the said chamber and inside the said pack being subsequently increased beyond the ambient pressure, after which the chamber is abruptly decompressed so that the pack is disrupted as a result of a momentary difference between the pressure inside the chamber surrounding the pack and the pressure inside the pack.
  • the pressure inside the said chamber is increased up to about 1,5 bar, more preferably above about 10 bar .
  • the chamber is preferably decompressed over a period of time shorter than about 0,3 s, preferably shorter than about 0,1 s.

  • Fig. 1 shows an example of a production waste pack 1 which is located in a pressure chamber 2.
  • the chamber is supplied with highly compressed gas e.g. coming from a compressor 3.
  • the chamber should be sufficiently gas-tight so as to endure a suitably increased pressure until the decompression i.e. until a valve is activated.
  • the pack 1 is not hermetically sealed, the compressed gas enters into the inside of the pack through gaps in the packaging. Consequently the pressure inside the pack grows and reaches the level of the pressure inside the chamber.
  • the pressure inside the chamber Upon establishing (by means of a conventional manometer 4) that the pressure inside the chamber has reached the required level, i.e. at least above 1,5 bar and preferably above 10 bar, the chamber is decompressed by means of quick-release valves 5.
  • the period of time over which the chamber is decompressed is less than 0,3 s.
  • this time may be even less than 0,1 s.
  • the difference between the pressure of the operational gas (e. g. air) inside the pack and outside it (meaning between the outside and the inside of the pack) grows abruptly.
  • the quick-release valves 5 that may be used in the embodiment of the invention are for example the conventional Herion or Festo valves.
  • the method may be used in particular for opening cigarette packs, as well as other packages of similar type, e.g. cheese, macaroni, chips etc., both individual and multipacks. More than one pack may also be located in the chamber.
  • Fig. 2a shows a similar scheme to that shown in fig. 1, but related to a method of an embodiment of the invention when used for opening hermetically sealed packs.
  • the pack prior to increasing the pressure in the a chamber and the subsequent abrupt decompression, the pack must be initially unsealed. The unsealing may be performed before the pack has been located in the pressure chamber (fig. 2a) or inside the chamber (fig. 2b), by piercing or a slight incision by means of a sharp edge, or the blades of an element 6.
  • the other stages of the method presented schematically in fig. 2 are identical as those described with reference to fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 presents the pressure chamber equipped with a piston 7 designed for reciprocating movement within and along the cylinder 8.
  • the cylinder 8 is lowered in order to close the chamber and then the piston 7 is activated to move downward causing the pressure within the chamber to increase.
  • a quick withdrawal of the cylinder 8 and the piston 7 results in decompression of the chamber and opening the pack 1.
  • a quick-release valve located in the wall of the cylinder 8 or in its bottom.
  • the unsealing may be performed prior introduction of the pack into the pressure chamber or else in the chamber, by piercing or a slight incision by means of a sharp edge or the blades of the element 6.
  • Fig. 4 presents another example of the pressure chamber.
  • Rotatable vanes 9 and the cylindrical surfaces 10 and 11 enclose a chamber in which the packs 1 are located. During the rotational movement of the vanes 9 the gas within is compressed.
  • Use of a quick-release valve located on the surface 10 enables decompression of the chamber.
  • the unsealing may be performed prior to the introduction of the pack into the pressure chamber or else in the chamber, by piercing or a slight incision by means of a sharp edge or the blades of the element 6.
  • the essential parameters of the method are: the pressure difference before the decompression and the speed of pressure equalization.
  • Similar results may be achieved in terms of opening packs with a substantial pressure difference combined with a slow pressure equalization, and with a small pressure difference combined with a very short time of the pressure equalization.
  • the packs may be opened according to the invention by decompression in the air or any other gas .
  • Table 1 shows exemplary values of the pressures reached in the pressure chamber with their corresponding times of decompression as well as the respective results achieved for the cigarette packs dealt with by the method according to the invention .

Abstract

La présente invention a trait à un procédé permettant d'ouvrir des paquets non hermétiques, en particulier des paquets de cigarettes non hermétiques, et à un procédé permettant d'ouvrir des paquets hermétique par pression. Au moins un paquet est placé dans une chambre sous pression, la pression à l'intérieur de ladite chambre et à l'intérieur dudit paquet étant par la suite augmentée au-delà de la pression ambiante, après quoi la chambre est brusquement décompressée de sorte que le paquet est déchiré en conséquence d'une différence momentanée entre la pression à l'intérieur de la chambre entourant le paquet et la pression à l'intérieur du paquet.
