Definitions
- the invention relates to a shrink tunnel according to the preamble
- Shrink tunnels for shrink-wrapping shrink films on products in particular on products in the form of containers, consisting of several product units or packaging means (for example, cans or bottles), and by the
- Shrinking film to be held together are known.
- the arrangements of nozzle openings are in this case formed by nozzle bodies, which face as plate-like hollow body with a plurality of nozzle openings on one of the transport path
- height adjustable are provided on the transport route, but it is necessary for a good shrinkage result, directed specifically from the nozzle openings hot gaseous medium or preferably to certain areas of the product and the shrink film, it is common to provide screens or baffles with which controlled nozzle openings can be covered and released.
- screens or baffles with which controlled nozzle openings can be covered and released.
- baffles in the vertical direction and thus transversely or perpendicular to its longitudinal extension and also to the transport direction in which the products are moved through the shrink tunnel, height adjustable.
- Each baffle is mounted for this purpose via a receptacle movable on a support beam in the form of a square, which extends within the treatment chamber of the shrink tunnel across its entire width.
- each support beam is guided by a respective passage to the outside in an intermediate wall region of the shrink tunnel and is held there at each end to a chain.
- These chains are part of the lifting device for baffles together with the support beams.
- About the chains can by means of a drive the
- the positioning of the baffles is also determined by the height of the products and in special constellations, e.g. For products of greater height an optimal adjustment of the baffles is not possible, it is also not possible in particular to position the baffles very deep, ie in the vicinity of the transport plane.
- the object of the invention is to provide a shrink tunnel, which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages and in which it is possible to optimally adjust the baffles regardless of the height of the products and / or position.
- a shrink tunnel is designed according to the patent claim 1.
- the baffles are individually and separately to the arrangements of a plurality of nozzle openings or to these
- nozzle orifices having nozzle bodies and by the Lifting devices in their position, preferably adjustable in height. ** The adjustment of the baffles can both be such that all baffles are adjustable together in position, as well as such that at least a single baffle is independent of the other baffles in position adjustable.
- the lifting devices and all elements of these lifting devices are independent of the position of the baffles outside the total cross section of the respective transport path or the treatment room.
- the shrink tunnel according to the invention also on the hitherto customary, extending transversely through the treatment room of the transport path supporting beams for the baffles, so that the baffles can be placed in their lowest starting position, without the risk of collision of the products to be treated with elements the lifting devices consists.
- the at least one transport path thus has in a plane perpendicular to
- Transport direction a total cross-section, the largest, with the
- Shrink tunnel adapted to be processed products, i. a cross section whose height and width is greater than the height and width of the largest, with the
- Shrink tunnel to be processed products The nozzle body, the baffles and preferably designed as trains or tension-type lifting devices lifting devices are located laterally from the respective transport path and outside the cross section of this transport route. Likewise, all drive elements in each state of the baffles outside the cross section of the transport path are arranged.
- a significant advantage of the invention is also that even with located in the lowest stroke position baffles 8, the products 2 unhindered, especially not hindered by the lifting devices 9 and their drives through the shrink tunnel 1 can be moved.
- the shrink tunnel is designed, for example, such that the guide plates are movable not only parallel to their surface sides and transversely to their longitudinal extension but also perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a transport plane of the at least one transport path, or
- each arrangement of nozzle openings is associated with at least one second baffle that the second baffles individually and separately to the
- Arrangements of the nozzle openings provided and are adjustable by the lifting devices in position, preferably in height,
- Lifting devices are arranged in any position of the baffles outside the cross section, the transport path or the treatment chamber in a plane perpendicular to the transport direction, said cross section is adapted to the dimensions of the largest, to be processed with the shrink tunnel products,
- At least two lifting devices engage on the at least one first guide plate associated with the respective arrangement of nozzle openings, preferably at the ends of this guide plate,
- the arrangements of nozzle openings are each formed by at least one nozzle body having the nozzle openings or in each case by at least two nozzle bodies which follow one another in the transport direction and / or adjoin one another,
- At least one of the respective arrangement of nozzle openings associated baffle, preferably the at least one first baffle extends over the entire length, the arrangement of the nozzle openings in
- the at least one second baffle extends only over a part of that length which has the arrangement of the nozzle openings in the transport direction, preferably via a partial length of the arrangement of the nozzle openings adjoining the shrink tunnel inlet,
- lifting devices are designed as tension-type lifting devices, for example as cable or chain hoist,
- a separate, preferably independently controllable drive is provided for each lifting device
- a drive for example an electric motor drive
- first and second baffles are designed and movable between a starting position and an end position, that the baffles connect to one another in the starting position and / or cover all the nozzle openings facing the baffles and release all the nozzle openings in the raised end position,
- first guide plate and the at least one second guide plate associated therewith are arranged in different planes, in such a way that the first guide plate first moves past the second guide plate when lifting from the starting position and finally entrains the second guide plate, the aforementioned features can be used individually or in any combination.
- Products in the sense of the invention are generally at least partially encased in a shrink film Products or objects, but in particular containers made of several packaging materials, which pass through the shrunk-on shrink film
