Description

The The invention relates to a method and a device for cyclical To fill of foil double chain bags with substances of different consistency and mass, with a foil tape being substantially perpendicular to one arranged cladding tube externally guided, formed into a tubular bag and lengthways and is sealed with a first transverse seam, then the Substance of greater mass over that Hüllmaterialrohrinnere dosed into the bag and realized a double cross seam to the bag closure becomes.

So-called Tubular bag machines for filling or packaging of goods belong to different kinds the state of the art. For example, please refer to machines Hassia Redatron GmbH, Hüttenberg.

at such tubular bag machines is the film web, which the later Bag forms to a substantially vertically arranged in the machine Hüllmaterialrohr externally led and first longitudinally and sealed with a cross seam. In the so created Bag then becomes the one to be filled Product introduced. This is followed by the formation of a further transverse seam for the bag closure, for example by heat sealing or pulse welding.

To the bottling of confectionery products are double chain bags or multiple chain bags at the state of the Technology proper. The bags usually take products of the same origin or same consistency, quantity or mass and can be used by the customer along a predetermined perforation line separated, i.e. be isolated.

As long as the ones to be filled Products have essentially the same consistency, mass or quantity, prepares the filling no particular difficulties even with packaging machines of high productivity.

Problematic is the packaging of products of different consistency or different mass, for example a quite heavy ready-made dough on the one hand and very light chunky toasted bread cubes as Addition to typical Thuringian Potato dumplings.

A further difficulty in dosing and adding piece products with an oily or greasy or sticky surface is the unwanted Stick to each other. One especially for this prone Product are those mentioned above roasted Bread cubes.

From the utility model DE 298 16 477 U1 is a modified multi-chamber packaging for dough with roasted bread cubes. In this publication it is pointed out that the bread cubes for Thuringian dumplings are to be accommodated in the corresponding amount in the smaller of the two foil bags, although it remains open how this should be done.

In the DE 195 05 882 A1 it is a combination of two connected bags and a device for producing such products. According to the task at hand, it is important to reduce the film consumption with a view to the production of two individual bags. Likewise, there should be the possibility of designing unevenly shaped or configured bags as contiguous bags, ie forming a so-called bag chain.

The U.S. Patent 3,608,709 shows a filling arrangement which has different channels in order to convey the individual products independently of one another into the respective bag sections. Furthermore, this teaching is about storing products in the respective chamber sections or bag areas, which can then be mixed with one another via a connection point.

In the process for dosing and packaging bulk goods and a related packaging machine DE 36 40 520 A1 , a conventional tubular bag machine is supplemented with a weighing device, which is specifically placed on the bag machine in the upper area. The packaging machine there is suitable for dosing and packaging bulk goods that can be conveyed by means of a screw.

Out the foregoing is therefore an object of the invention, a method and an associated device for quick To fill of foil double chain bags with substances of different consistency and mass to be specified, with no significant restriction in of productivity on the one hand heavy dough and on the other hand a small amount, a low mass bread cubes backfilled in different areas of the double bag and can be packed with it.

The solution the object of the invention is carried out with a method in its Definition according to claim 1 and with a device according to the features of claim 2, wherein the subclaims expedient refinements and developments represent.

According to the invention will be on the procedural side during the filling process the first chamber of the double chain bag with the material of greater mass Substance of smaller mass in an additional module, which is a weighing device comprises dosed. After execution a double cross seam, which is the first chamber with the fabric of greater mass closes, is about one Channel inside the casing tube the dosed substance of smaller mass is placed in the bag and it takes place afterwards a separation, sealing and throwing off the filled two-chamber or Double chain bag. The filling procedure regarding the Substances of different masses can also be used in a reverse sequence will be realized.

The Substance of larger mass is ready-made dough and the substance of smaller mass consists of toasted bread or bread cubes.

Around an undesirable Baking or sticking and therefore a poor dosage with insufficient To avoid filling quality are the roasted bread cubes frozen on the weighing device given and bottled in the same state.

The with the substance of greater mass filled pouch are going to run the double cross seam of two movable press or leveling plates fixed, the press plates as well as the welding device the bag after filling hold with the smaller mass to separate and seal.

The Sealing is done by pulse welding the bag film material.

To the improved, easier filling of the bag or the respective bag chamber, in particular the chamber, which absorbs the substance of smaller mass is a targeted supply of compressed air provided to inflate the respective chamber in a defined manner to reach.

the device side is based on a tubular bag machine known per se the cladding tube double-walled or it has an inside separate filling channel on. The inner tube takes the in a double-walled version Fabric of larger mass, e.g. Fertigkloßteig on, the channel or the intermediate tube in the double-walled version Smaller mass leads or transported.

At the upper open end of the channel or intermediate pipe is a slide arranged, which on the transport side in connection with a format funnel stands. The format funnel has controllable swivel flaps targeted delivery of a quantity in the funnel of e.g. toasted bread cubes.

A special electronic weighing device is for the substance of smaller mass provided as an additional assembly, wherein this weighing device a Weighing Pan having.

The weighed and thus metered substance of smaller mass comes from the weighing pan into the format funnel. The swivel flap there serves the timed delivery of the substance of smaller mass over the Slide, the channel or the intermediate pipe into the second chamber of the Double chain bag.

To the Safe transport of the material of smaller mass is on the slide Jogger arranged.

Above the weighing device is a storage container provided with controllable inlet flap. Output side of the weighing pan again a controllable closure device is arranged.

The weighing pan, the format funnel and the storage container are to hold one chunky, frozen Good training. Therefor can in particular the reservoir be thermally insulated and over a cooling device feature.

How already explained to describe the method, the substance is of greater mass a pasty pasty Fertigkloßmenge and the substance of smaller mass consists of roasted bread or bread cubes or the like lumpy Add-on products to a ready meal or a side dish, e.g. Thuringian Potato dumplings.

The In the following, the invention is to be illustrated using an exemplary embodiment and a schematic representation closer explained become.

In the method for the cyclical filling of double film chain bags with substances of different consistency and mass according to the embodiment, a film web is used 1 that the later shaped pouch 2 forms, to a substantially vertically arranged casing material tube 3 guided.

Using a suitable welding device (not shown), the film web is first sealed longitudinally and with the welding device 4 a first transverse seam is formed.

Using a dosing valve 5 there is the release and feeding of ready-made dough as a substance of greater mass, this substance via the wrapping material inside into the bag 2 is introduced. Movable press plates 6 fix the bag and it will come with Help of the welding device 4 a double cross seam 7 educated. The dough 8th is then in the first chamber of the bag 2 recorded tightly closed.

During the bag filling process 2 with dough 8th with the help of an electronic weighing device 9 a defined amount of the substance of smaller mass, in the concrete example roasted bread cubes, from a storage container 11 , which has an inlet flap 12 has provided.

The dosed amount of bread cubes 10 then passes through a weighing pan 13 , the output side with a locking device 14 is provided in a format funnel 15 ,

The format funnel 15 has two swivel flaps 16 for timed delivery of the in the format funnel 15 amount of bread cubes.

With opening of the swivel flaps 16 get the bread cubes 10 on a slide 17 ,

The discharge end of the slide 17 stands with an open end of a channel or intermediate pipe 18 in operative connection.

The channel or the intermediate pipe 18 again is located inside the casing tube 3 , For example, the casing tube 3 be double-walled, with an inner tube as a filling tube 19 serves the dough transport and the intermediate tube for transporting the bread cubes 10 Is used.

The bread cubes 10 then, in a quasi free fall, they reach the still open second bag chamber above the double seam 7 , When the bag is transported further, a film section reaches the welding device 4 so that the pouch section can be sealed above the second chamber of the pouch and separated from the continuous sheet of film material.

The weighing pan 13 , the format funnel 15 and the reservoir 11 for the bread cubes are designed to hold a lumpy, frozen good. In particular, the storage container can be thermally insulated and provided with a cooling device. Due to the frozen placement of the bread cubes in the storage container, there is a particularly safe dosage and feedability, with the result of an exact measurement and filling of the second, smaller chamber of the bag with roasted bread cubes.

Over a Compressed air generating device, not shown, becomes easier To fill the chamber of the bag to hold the lighter material a defined one Inflation is carried out, avoiding swirling of the contents.

On the slide can be arranged to a shaker, not shown an unwanted attachment of the products to be transported with the consequence of a faulty transport to avoid.

With the device described can double foil chain bags be filled cyclically with substances of different consistency and mass, whereby the foil tape to the essentially vertically arranged casing tube externally guided and is formed into a tubular bag there. As described, will the bag by lengthwise Sealing and formation of a first cross seam and then the Dumpling over that Hüllmaterialrohrinnere dosed into the bag. A double cross seam closes the filled fabric hermetically and forms a first seam of a second bag or a second chamber of a double chain bag.

During the filling with the substance of greater mass is the substance of smaller mass in the weighing device described dosed and after execution the double cross seam over a channel inside the casing tube put in the bag. This is followed by separation, sealing and Discard the filled Two-chamber or double chain bags.

Thereby, that the roasted Frozen bread cubes on the weighing device arrive and bottled become an undesirable Adhesion and associated incorrect dosing safely avoided.
