Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for drying packaging
- composite food packaging comprising: a
- Conveyor belt with cells for receiving the packaging, and at least one drying device for drying the packaging.
- the invention also relates to the use of such a device for drying food-filled packages, in particular for drying food-filled composite packages.
- the invention further relates to a method for drying packaging, in particular composite packaging for food, comprising the following steps: a) providing a device for drying packaging with a drying device, b) providing preferably from
- the invention relates to a food packaging, the packaging being made of a multilayer laminate. Packaging can be done in different ways and in different ways
- Materials are produced.
- a widespread possibility of their production is to produce a blank from the packaging material, from which by folding and further steps first a packing jacket and finally a packaging is formed.
- This production method has the advantage, among other things, that the blanks are very flat and can thus be stacked to save space. In this way, the blanks or packing coats can be made at a different location than the folding and filling of the packaging coats done.
- a material composites are often used, for example, a composite thin layers of paper, cardboard, plastic or metal, in particular aluminum.
- Such packaging is widely used, especially in the food industry.
- Packaging, in particular composite packages serve food as a transport and / or protective packaging, wherein the food may have liquid or pasty states.
- the foodstuffs may also contain solid particles of a few cubic millimeters in size.
- the foods may be drinks, soups, yogurts, puddings, sauces or the like.
- hoses are formed in the axial direction around a Greporn from drawn from a roll web material hoses.
- the hoses are filled in continuous operation and closed to pillow-like containers.
- pillow-like containers are then converted in further steps to compact structures, in particular cuboid boxes.
- the "ears” are folded on the later bottom side of the package to the inside, so form part of the intended footprint of the package, while the gable-sided "ears" to the vertical outer surfaces of the packaging Packaging to be created. Because the packaging and its contents only after
- Packing coats are called, reshaped. These cartons or
- Packing jackets can then be converted in a filling device already to a relatively stable and only to the filling nozzle open container, which is referred to in this state by the skilled person as a "cup.”
- a filling device already to a relatively stable and only to the filling nozzle open container, which is referred to in this state by the skilled person as a "cup.”
- These "cups” are then in one - usually with a Filling machine equipped and said sealed immediately after the filling process of a device for closing a filled with an incompressible fluid filling material and formed from a carton composite packaging.
- the device forms part of the filling machine and is operable with it in a continuous or in a pulsed operation.
- Such a device comprises a plurality of successively arranged
- Processing stations along which a production path is formed One of these processing stations usually has a drying device with which at least a portion of the surface of the composite packaging is dried.
- the production path of the drying device is part of the production route of the filling machine.
- a production path in itself always comprises a large number of processing stations arranged in series and intermediary paths located therebetween
- the resulting composite packages are or are to be processed by means of a
- Transport device such as a rotary wheel, a conveyor belt or a transport chain, past the individual processing stations.
- Devices that operate in timed operation are different from devices that operate in a continuous operation in that the transport speed of the composite packages becomes zero in defined cycles. This means that the packages then come to rest within a respective processing station.
- the protruding "ears” are folded on the later bottom side of the package inside, so form part of the intended footprint of the package, while also the gable-sided "ears" to the vertical outer surfaces the packaging are created.
- the application of the gable-side "ears” to the vertical or - in the case of exotic packaging forms - inclined outer surface of the packaging is not based solely on a more pleasant visual sensation come condensed water. Moisture can complicate or prevent the welding or bonding that occurs when the ears are put on and is therefore undesirable.
- the invention has the object, an initially described and explained in more detail above device such and further, that a damage-free and energy-efficient drying of already filled and sealed packaging is possible. This drying should take place in particular in the region of the ears to be applied to the packaging.
- drying device has at least one contact element with a contact surface.
- a device according to the invention for drying packagings is initially characterized by a conveyor belt with cells for receiving the packagings.
- a conveyor belt is any suitable means of transport understood, for example, a transport chain or a conveyor belt.
- the conveyor belt is completely encircling, ie "endless.”
- Cells are understood to be any elements which are suitable for carrying packaging, for example clamping elements, frames, containers or the like.
- the cells are fixed or detachably connected to the conveyor belt.
- the device is characterized by at least one
- Drying device for drying the packaging.
- Drying device has the purpose of moisture on the surface of the
- the drying device has at least one contact element with at least one contact surface.
- the invention is therefore based on the idea, instead of a non-contact drying (eg by hot air) a Provide touching drying. This has the great advantage that drying can also be carried out safely immediately following sensitive areas, for example the aseptic zone of a filling device. If several
- contact surfaces are provided, it is preferred that the contact surfaces are arranged at an angle to each other (for example, about 90 °). Thus, even surfaces of the packaging that are at an angle to one another can be dried at the same time.
- the contact element is movably mounted.
- the storage may, for example, allow movement with one, two or three degrees of freedom.
- one degree of freedom is understood as the freedom of movement in a translatory or rotational direction about a respective spatial axis.
- the mobility with one degree of freedom has the advantage that the contact element can also mechanically act on a surface of a package to be dried when it is stationary. Even if the packaging is along its
- the contact element is movably mounted. This may for example be possible that the contact element protrudes in a rest position in the intended movement space of the package and out of this space through the
- Packaging is displaced. For example, it is sufficient that the
- Contact element is pivotally mounted about an axis which is perpendicular to the
- Transport direction / the production path of the packaging is aligned.
- the contact element is then pressed with its own weight against the surface to be cleaned and / or dried of the packaging.
- Weight can optionally be assisted by the provision of a spring force.
- the contact element is temperature-controlled, that is to say heatable and / or coolable, whereby, for example, a condensation effect on the contact element, preferably in individual regions of the contact element, can be effectively conveyed or prevented.
- Such a device can not only apply the ears, but also the attachment of the ears to the packaging.
- the attachment of the ears to the packaging is usually by gluing or welding and therefore requires dry and clean surfaces. Therefore, the combination of a
- Drying device and means for applying the ears special advantages.
- the means for applying the protruding ears is arranged in the transport direction of the packaging behind the drying device.
- Drying device has at least two contact elements. Each of these contact elements preferably has at least one contact surface.
- a plurality of packages can be dried simultaneously. This can be achieved, for example, by transporting the packages in a plurality of preferably parallel rows through the drying device. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that a plurality of contact elements of the same series of
- Packaging are associated and - seen in the transport direction - are arranged one behind the other. In this way, each package is successively dried by a plurality of contact elements.
- the contact surface of the contact element made of plastic in particular of a particular Elastomer or a thermoplastic is made.
- Many plastics are characterized by a high elasticity; Contact surfaces made of plastic can therefore adapt particularly well to the shape of the surfaces to be dried of the packaging. This allows a particularly thorough drying of the packaging.
- Another advantage of the elasticity or compliance of many plastics is that the packaging is not damaged despite the contact.
- plastics are very variable formable, so that contact surfaces with complex geometry are possible.
- plastics As a particularly suitable material plastics have proven both from the group of elastomers, as well as from the group of thermoplastics. From the group of elastomers are particularly rubbery elastomers in question, while has emerged from the group of thermoplastics PEEK (polyetheretherketone) as a particularly suitable material in experiments. There are also materials with related properties in question. Among other things, it is important that the materials are resistant to the cleaning agents and disinfectants used. In the preferred use of the device, ie within a filling device, the
- the styrene resin is preferably used for aseptic filling of food, it is a conventional disinfectant to H2O2.
- the styrene resin is preferably used for aseptic filling of food, it is a conventional disinfectant to H2O2.
- the styrene resin is preferably used for aseptic filling of food, it is a conventional disinfectant to H2O2.
- the contact surface of the contact element is formed by a material on the surface of which water forms a contact angle of less than 60 °, preferably less than 45 °, very preferably less than 29 °.
- the contact angle is according to the specifications of DIN 55660-2 and in particular according to the static method described therein and under
- the contact surface of the contact element may be formed by an open-pored material.
- Kapillarpermation can be used, whereby the desired drying and / or cleaning process is particularly well supported.
- Capillary permeation or wetting is the movement of a fluid on a solid substrate that is propelled by the interfacial energy.
- the capillary permeation is quantified by the contact angle, which is determined according to the specifications of DIN 55660-2 and in particular according to the static method described therein and in compliance with the recommendations there.
- a low contact angle means a stronger one
- a suitable high capillary permeation corresponds to a contact angle of less than about 90 °.
- the contact surface of the contact element may be advantageously formed by a closed-pore material.
- the contact element can meet particularly good high hygienic requirements. It is also easy to clean.
- the material forming the contact surface may also be a coating material. This can make the production of the
- Contact element can be made uncomplicated and cheaper.
- materials can be selected that meet the different requirements of
- the contact element also has at least one functional surface whose surface with water has a contact angle of more than 100 °, preferably more than 120 °, that is designed to be hydrophobic.
- a functional surface is understood in this direct context to mean a surface which comes into contact with the water to be removed from the surface of the packaging to be produced. Such a configured functional surface could then serve, for example, for the separation of the water temporarily removed from the contact element and occasionally temporarily stored.
- the surface tension of the material forming the contact surface of the at least one contact element measured according to WU is at least 32 mN / m, preferably at least 35 raN / m and very preferably at least 40.5 mN / m (proposed by GX Wu 1982) Equation for calculating the surface tension).
- the contact surface of the contact element is formed elastically deformable.
- an elastically deformable training is here understood a material that deforms at an attacking at an angle between 90 ° and 60 ° energy of at least 0.125 joules by at least 5 ° from its original shape and relaxes again in the
- a working energy of about 0.125 joules is achieved when weighing about 250 grams
- An elastically deformable contact surface has the advantage that it automatically adapts to the conditions of the surface to be dried and - at least largely - can follow it. This ensures that even in wells accumulated amounts of liquid can be effectively detected and removed.
- the contact surface of the contact element is rigid. Under a rigid training here is understood a material that acts at a at an angle of 90 ° to 60 °
- a rigid contact surface has the advantage that it is particularly
- Contact surface of the contact element has a profiling with at least one recess.
- the depressions may, for example, have a depth in the range between 1 mm and 5 mm, in particular between 2 mm and 4 mm. From the wells moisture can be absorbed and - for example, to the outside - be derived.
- the recesses are surrounded and bounded by edges that function like "sealing lips" and thus improved
- profilings - ie can be achieved by different shapes and arrangements and characteristics of profilings - ie by the provision of suitable profiling patterns and profiling heights - various other benefits.
- Rectangular shape or a partial circle shape assumes. Such forms are inexpensive to manufacture and may also be capable of receiving an adequate amount of liquid.
- the width of the recess moves between 5 mm and 20 mm and in particular between 8 mm and 13 mm, while the depth is in a range of 1.5 mm to 6 mm and in particular between 2 mm and 3.5 mm.
- radii up to about 15 mm may be particularly preferred.
- the recesses formed create a kind of scale or diamond pattern on the contact surface of the contact element.
- the stresses that are associated with the mechanical removal of the liquid to be removed are distributed particularly well over the entire surface to be cleaned, so that the individual edges can also be made sharper, which significantly increases the effectiveness.
- the contact element at least one channel by passage of a gaseous or liquid
- the channel has. Through the channel either moisture can be removed from the package or a drying medium (e.g., air) can flow to the packages. It can be provided that the channel has one or more branches.
- a drying medium e.g., air
- Another advantage of a channel is that it can be used as a "pressure chamber" with the shape of the contact surface deforming depending on the pressure in the chamber
- the contact element is preferably designed as a drawn in a plane part of a jacket tire. It is further proposed that at least one outlet of the channel be attached to the lateral contact surface and / or the lower contact surface of the channel Contact element is arranged. By this arrangement of the outlets to be dried surfaces of the package can be achieved particularly well.
- the bottom surfaces (or gable surfaces) of the packaging and the insides of the ears can be reached simultaneously.
- Contact element has a curved or inclined to the contact surface inlet region.
- a gentle increase in the contact forces between the packaging and the contact element is achieved.
- Another effect is that the fin seam on the top and bottom of the packaging is gently bent down. In this way, the risk is reduced that packaging stuck to the contact element or damaged by the contact element.
- the device described above is in all the illustrated embodiments in a special way for use for drying of food-filled packaging, in particular for drying of food-filled composite packaging.
- the good suitability results, for example, from the fact that the drying process made possible by the device is particularly gentle and hardly stresses the sensitive food.
- a thermal load of the packaging contents is avoided, which occurs for example in a drying by hot air.
- the foods may be, for example, aseptically filled foods.
- Foodstuff comprising the following steps: a) providing a device for drying packaging with a drying device, b) providing packaging, preferably formed from packaging coats, and c) drying the packaging.
- a) providing a device for drying packaging with a drying device b) providing packaging, preferably formed from packaging coats, and c) drying the packaging.
- the packages are dried in step c) by contact between the packages and the drying device.
- the method is based on the idea to provide a contacting drying of the packaging instead of a non-contact drying by hot air and the
- step c) the packages - continuously or intermittently - moves while the drying device is stationary.
- An embodiment of the method provides that in step a) a device according to one of claims 1 to 8 is provided. The before
- the described device is particularly suitable for carrying out the method, since the contact element can be matched both in terms of its shape and in terms of its material to a touching drying of packaging.
- the packages are dried in step c) by contact between the packages and the contact element of the drying device. This too has the advantage that the contact element can be matched to a contacting drying of packaging both in terms of its shape and with respect to its material. According to a further embodiment of the method it is provided that the
- step c) by contact between the packages and the lower contact surface and / or the lateral contact surfaces of the
- the packages usually have a plurality of surfaces to be dried, which are usually not in a plane, for example, the bottom surface (or gable surface) and the inner sides of the protruding ears. It is therefore advantageous to dry the different surfaces to be dried by means of different contact surfaces.
- One advantage is that the contact surfaces can be optimally adapted in terms of their shape and position to the surfaces to be dried by them.
- several contact surfaces allow the simultaneous drying of several surfaces of the packaging.
- the drying is used in particular the subsequent bonding or welding of the ears with the packaging. Therefore, a combination of the steps drying and
- step d) is preferably carried out after step c).
- Packaging is made of a multilayer laminate.
- the packaging is characterized in that the outermost layer of the laminate with water forms a contact angle of at least 60 °, preferably of at least 75 °, in particular of at least 90 °.
- the contact angle is determined according to the specifications of DIN 55660-2 and in particular according to the static method described therein and in compliance with the recommendations there.
- Packaging with a contact angle in the specified range are particularly suitable for a contact drying, since water droplets with such contact angles can be particularly easily wiped off the surface of the package.
- the contact angle which is also called edge or wetting angle, this effect can, of course, be further increased. Therefore, it may be particularly preferred that the outermost layer of the laminate forms with water a contact angle of at least 110 °, preferably at least 135 °, in particular at least 150 °.
- the packaging also has a higher protection for the foodstuffs contained in later use, since germs that come into contact with the packaging have hardly any possibility of even settling outside the packaging, but e.g. with the resulting moisture (such as temperature fluctuations) run off easily.
- the contact element due to then only necessary minimum
- Wiping forces are carried out so easily that it can be replaced regularly and, for example, when using the device for drying a package within a filling device during their cleaning can be easily renewed.
- Contact angles in the specified range can be achieved, for example, by a suitable choice of the outermost layer of the laminate forming the package.

- the bottom region (ie the region of the bottom surfaces 7) and the gable region (ie the region of the gable surfaces 8) of the packaging 1 ' are closed in an identical manner, namely without the use of a pouring element 10 by direct connection of the bottom surfaces 7 or
- Gable area were already applied to the gable surfaces 8, while the ears 2 were not created in the bottom area of the bottom surfaces 7 and therefore still protrude from the packaging.
- the ears 2 are approximately spaced from the package such that they are approximately parallel to the side surfaces 3, 4 of the package.
- FIG. 2A shows a first embodiment of a device 12 according to the invention for drying composite food packaging in a front view.
- the device 12 initially comprises a conveyor belt 13 with cells 14 for receiving the packaging 1.
- a conveyor belt 13 may also be a conveyor belt 13 with cells 14 for receiving the packaging 1.
- a conveyor belt 13 may also be a conveyor belt 13 with cells 14 for receiving the packaging 1.
- the device 12 comprises a drying device 15 for drying the packages 1.
- the drying device 15 has a
- the already filled and sealed packages 1 are located in the cells 14 and are passed by the conveyor belt 13 in a transport direction T to the stationary contact element 16 such that a portion of the
- This principle is comparable to a windshield wiper in vehicles.
- Fig. 2A is also a means 17 for applying protruding ears 2 to the
- Packaging 1 shown. Although the device 17 is not part of the device 12, but serves to explain its operation. Because the drying of the liquid
- Packaging 1 is used in particular for the purpose of being able to create ears 2 reliably on the packaging 1. This is usually done by welding, which is why dry surfaces are required for a reliable connection.
- Conveyor belt 13 may for example by an electric drive 18th
- FIG. 2B shows the device 12 from FIG. 2A in a plan view.
- the areas of the device 12 already described in connection with FIG. 2A are provided with corresponding reference numerals in FIG. 2B.
- the conveyor belt 13 has four rows of cells 14.
- both devices 15, 17 extend over the entire width of the conveyor belt 13.
- both devices have a corresponding number on tools;
- the drying device 15 shown in FIG. 2B thus has four contact elements 16.
- the configuration shown in FIG. 2B is to be understood as an example only;
- the number of rows of cells 14 can be varied. For example, only a single row of cells 14 may be provided. In this case, the cells 14 can be connected directly to the conveyor belt 13.
