- the Turning station 43 In the rear part of the packing head shaft is the Turning station 43 with the turret 47, which forms a rotary wing at the top of the package, thus completing the packaging process.
- the packing head 41 is located midway between the turret 47 and the folding head 78.
- a folding operation of the bag bottom begins with a protruding surface 5/1 of the U-shaped packaging material portion facing the packing head center through a pre-folder 79, followed by the same Folding of the folding in the same direction of movement Fertigfalter (burglar) 81 follows. This is close to the article or on the associated surface of the article 13, is very flat and thus able to completely sweep the surface to be folded 5/1 of the piece of packaging material.
- the special feature in this context is that here the same folding step is carried out sequentially by pre-and Fertigfalter 79, 81, the Vorfalter 79 acts terialtimsmindernd so that an accurate folding by the Fertigfalter (burglar) 81 even at relatively stiff Films and packaging materials with relatively strong springback characteristics can be achieved.
- a side of the Fertigfalters 38 in the direction of movement upstream Packstoffhals 5/2 is folded by means of a side brush 82 and laid on the Fertigfalter 81 and burglar 81.
- a packaging material salt lying downstream in the direction of movement is then placed on a stationarily provided folding plate as a side folder 83 over the previously produced folds.
- packaging material bottles 5/3, 5/4 are created by the folding head 41 mounted in the folding members mecanicfalter 86 and complicatfalter 87.
- the packaging material bottle 5/3 which lies upstream in the direction of movement, is folded in through the inner folder 86 and the packaging material 5/4, which lies downstream in the direction of movement, is pressed by the outer folder 87 onto the packaging material 5/3 applied by the inner folder 86.
- Fig. 13 shows the folding head 78 again in a single representation, wherein it should be noted with respect to the motion control of the aforementioned folding organs on an outer cam 88 which controls the movement of the first Vorfalters 79, while the stationary outer cam 89 controls the Fertigfalter (burglar) 81.
- the deflection forces required for external cam gears are applied by tension springs 90.
- movement of the side sill 82 is controlled by a groove cam 91.
- a first four-bar linkage 92 is provided, which is driven by a path of a spatial, stationary cam groove 93, while the second Prefalter 84 and the second Fertigfalter (burglar) 85 by a second four-bar linkage 94 are supported, whose movement control is effected by a further path of the spatial cam groove 93.
- the invention makes it possible for the first time to realize with a continuous packaging machine bag folds and other relatively complicated impact shapes, in a novel folding process, a relatively stable packaging U-shape by means of two separately controllable folding organs, a Vorfalters and a Fertigfalters (burglar) for the folding step, folding, with a corresponding procedure is also realized for a bottom fold.
- two separately controllable folding organs namely a second Prefalter and a Fertigfalter (burglars) are used, whereby occurring folding forces are minimized, a popping open the fold is avoided and a high quality of the folding is ensured with secure holding of the packaging material.
- the new concept for the removal of the articles to be packaged from a singling plate leads to a smoothness of the packaging machine, which has hitherto been unrivaled in the envisaged performance range, with extreme product protection.
- the machine concept also allows for the first time the packaging of very large products in the intended performance range in continuous operation.
- the modular machine construction in the area of the article-carrying packaging devices leads to a high variability with regard to possible impact shapes and article orientations within the packaging machine.
