Description
Fremgangsmåte for tildanning avProcedure for the formation of
en lufttom, forseglet pakning.an air-void, sealed package.
Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår en fremgangsmåte for tildanning av lufttomme, forseglede pakninger, særlig pakninger som inneholder konserverte næringsmidler. The present invention relates to a method for producing air-empty, sealed packages, in particular packages containing preserved foodstuffs.
Mange vakuumpakkemetoder er kjent, og generelt krever disse forholdsvis dyrt utstyr. Foreliggende oppfinnel- Many vacuum packaging methods are known, and generally these require relatively expensive equipment. Present invention
se tar sikte på å tilveiebringe en fremgangsmåte som kan benyttes i forbindelse med.bestående maskineri for å forme, fylle og forsegle poser, uten dyre modifikasjoner. Foreliggende oppfinnelse tar således sikte på med lave omkostninger å muliggjøre om-danning av en vanlig, bestående fylle- og forseglingsmaskin (fill seal machine) til- en vakuum-pakkemaskin. se aims to provide a method that can be used in conjunction with existing machinery to form, fill and seal bags, without expensive modifications. The present invention thus aims at low costs to enable the transformation of an ordinary, existing filling and sealing machine (fill seal machine) into a vacuum packaging machine.
Fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen, for tildanning av en lufttom, .forseglet pakning, omfatter således følgende trinn: fremskaffelse av en med en åpen ende utformet pose inneholdende produktet som skal pakkes, innføring av en dampinnsprøytingsdyse i posens åpningssone, innsprøyting av damp i posen via dysen slik at luft fortrenges fra posens innvendige rom, tilsetting av strekkrefter over en tverrsone ved poseåpningen slik at posen strekkes i sideretningen og poseåpningen flates ut på dysen, uttrekking av dysen fra posen under bibehold av strekkrefter i tverrsonen, hvorved gradvis lukking av den utflatede pose kan foregå bak dysen, samt forsegling av den lukkede lufttomme pose. The method according to the invention, for creating an air-empty, sealed package, thus includes the following steps: providing a bag designed with an open end containing the product to be packed, introducing a steam injection nozzle into the opening zone of the bag, injecting steam into the bag via the nozzle as follows that air is displaced from the internal space of the bag, addition of tensile forces over a transverse zone at the bag opening so that the bag is stretched in the lateral direction and the bag opening is flattened on the nozzle, extraction of the nozzle from the bag while maintaining tensile forces in the transverse zone, whereby gradual closing of the flattened bag can take place behind the nozzle, as well as sealing the closed air-empty bag.
Dampdysen bør ha en avflatet form slik at poseåpningen hensiktsmessig kan flates ut på dysen og minimalisere gasslekkasje. The steam nozzle should have a flattened shape so that the bag opening can be suitably flattened on the nozzle and minimize gas leakage.
Det vil forståes at dampen foruten å tvinge luften ut av posen også bevirker at der dannes vakuum i posen som følge av kondensering. Fremgangsmåten som innebærer strekking i sammenheng med anvendelse av en avflatet dyse, gjør det også mu-lig å fjerne dysen fra posen uten å bryte vakuumet. Anvendelse av damp for vakuumpakking er kjent, men hittil har man ikke opp- nådd en tilfredsstillende økonomisk fremgangsmåte for bibehold av vakuum og forsegling. It will be understood that, in addition to forcing the air out of the bag, the steam also causes a vacuum to form in the bag as a result of condensation. The method which involves stretching in connection with the use of a flattened nozzle also makes it possible to remove the nozzle from the bag without breaking the vacuum. The use of steam for vacuum packaging is known, but so far a satisfactory economic method for maintaining vacuum and sealing has not been achieved.
Bruk av damp innebærer at der innføres en viss fuktighetsgrad, og det vil derfor forståes at oppfinnelsen ikke er anvendbar for pakking av produkter som kan påvirkes av fuktig-het, f.eks. tørkede pulvermaterialer. Videre kan bruk av damp for å tvinge ut luft fra posen bare anvendes der produktet som skal pakkes er egnet for slik luftfortrening. Dersom produktet innbe-fatter små luftlommer som kunne motstå dampspylingen vil oppfinnelsen således ikke være hensiktsmessig, f.eks. ved partikkelfor-mede materialer såsom erter. På den annen side er oppfinnelsen The use of steam means that a certain degree of humidity is introduced, and it will therefore be understood that the invention is not applicable for packaging products that can be affected by humidity, e.g. dried powder materials. Furthermore, the use of steam to force air out of the bag can only be used where the product to be packed is suitable for such air removal. If the product includes small air pockets that could resist the steam flushing, the invention will thus not be appropriate, e.g. in the case of particulate materials such as peas. On the other hand is the invention
spesielt anvendbar for pakking av stykker av kjøtt, eller andre integrerte produkter som utgjør et sammensatt hele, f.eks. sammen med en saus eller sky. particularly applicable for packing pieces of meat, or other integrated products that form a composite whole, e.g. together with a sauce or cloud.
Dysen bør ha tilstrekkelig avflatet form slik at poseåpningen fullstendig lukkes når poseåpningen avflates på dysen. I praksis må full lukking av posen ikke nødvendigvis finne The nozzle should have a sufficiently flattened shape so that the bag opening is completely closed when the bag opening is flattened on the nozzle. In practice, full closure of the bag may not necessarily be found
sted mens damp fremdeles innsprøytes i posen, ettersom dampen og fortrengt luft vil strømme ut under svakt overtrykk og der således dannes en effektiv enveisventil. Ved neste trinn i prosessen, j når dysen tas ut av posen, oppnås imidlertid en fullstendig lukking ved hjelp av tverrstrekkingen, og vakuumet opprettholdes. place while steam is still injected into the bag, as the steam and displaced air will flow out under slight overpressure and an effective one-way valve is thus formed. However, at the next step in the process, when the nozzle is removed from the bag, a complete closure is achieved by means of the transverse stretching, and the vacuum is maintained.
Etter at vakuum er opprettet bibeholdes fortrinns-vis tverrstrekket inntil en permanent forsegling er utført på posen. Denne forsegling, vanligvis en varmeforsegling, utføres for-trinnsvis over et temmelig bredt bånd (f.eks. omkring 12 mm) i posens åpningssone for å sikre at eventuelle dampbobler eller pro-duktpartikler i området ved forseglingssonen innesluttes. After a vacuum has been created, the transverse stretch is preferably maintained until a permanent seal is made on the bag. This sealing, usually a heat seal, is preferably carried out over a rather wide band (e.g. around 12 mm) in the opening zone of the bag to ensure that any vapor bubbles or product particles in the area of the sealing zone are contained.
En utføringsform av oppfinnelsen skal i det følgen-de beskrives som eksempel under henvisning til den skjematiske teg-ning . Figur 1 er et sideriss av en pose med en innsprøy-tingsdyse beliggende over posen før prosessen påbegynnes. Figur 2 er et grunnriss av posen og dysen i stil-lingen vist i figur 1. Figur 3 er et sideriss av posen etter innføring av An embodiment of the invention will be described in the following as an example with reference to the schematic drawing. Figure 1 is a side view of a bag with an injection nozzle located above the bag before the process begins. Figure 2 is a plan view of the bag and nozzle in the position shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 is a side view of the bag after introduction of
en innsprøytingsdyse i posen.an injection nozzle in the bag.
Figur 4 er et grunnriss av arrangementet vist i figur 3. Figure 4 is a floor plan of the arrangement shown in Figure 3.
v Figur 5 er en grafisk angivelse av tidsforløpet. v Figure 5 is a graphical representation of the time course.
Figur. 1 viser en pose 1 som er fylt med et produkt som skal pakkes, f.eks. to stykker konservert kjøtt, idet posen holdes mellom sideholdere 2. Det fremgår av figur 2 at poseåpningen i denne tilstand er utspilt eller åpen. Over posens utspilte åpning befinner seg en avflatet divergerende dampinnsprøytingsdyse 3. Denne dysen har en avflatet dybde som er mindre enn bredden av Figure. 1 shows a bag 1 which is filled with a product to be packed, e.g. two pieces of preserved meat, the bag being held between side holders 2. It appears from Figure 2 that the bag opening in this state is expanded or open. Above the flared opening of the bag is a flattened diverging steam injection nozzle 3. This nozzle has a flattened depth that is less than the width of
posen med åpen åpning og dens bredde .er omtrent en tredjedel av lengden av poseåpningen, slik at den lett kan innføres i posen.. the bag with an open opening and its width .is about one third of the length of the bag opening, so that it can be easily inserted into the bag..
Neste trinn i prosessen er at dysen innføres i posen og damp innsprøytes i posen. Som følge av innsprøytings-dysens divergerende form er dampen, som innsprøytes ved et trykk på mellom 0,5 og 0,9 atm over atmosfæretrykket, istand til å trenge inn til posens nedre hjørner, og derved istand til å for-trenge luften i posen. The next step in the process is for the nozzle to be introduced into the bag and steam injected into the bag. As a result of the divergent shape of the injection nozzle, the steam, which is injected at a pressure of between 0.5 and 0.9 atm above atmospheric pressure, is able to penetrate to the lower corners of the bag, thereby displacing the air in the bag .
Som vist på figur 3 føres deretter holderne 2, som er fjærbelastet, fra hverandre, slik at en tverrsone 4 ved poseåpningen utsettes for strekkrefter, idet dysen strekker seg gjennom As shown in Figure 3, the holders 2, which are spring-loaded, are then moved apart, so that a transverse zone 4 at the bag opening is exposed to tensile forces, as the nozzle extends through
nevnte sone ved poseåpningen, slik at posen utflates på dysen og said zone at the bag opening, so that the bag is flattened on the nozzle and
tilnærmet lukker posen (se fig. 4).approximately closes the bag (see fig. 4).

I.praksis er der små spalter 5 ved dysehjørnene, slik det fremgår av fig. 4, men overtrykket J tend to act as a one-way valve through which the displaced air and steam can still flow out of the bag without further air being able to flow into the bag. In practice, there are small gaps 5 at the nozzle corners, as can be seen from fig. 4, but overprinted
fra dampen.sikrer at luft og damp bare kan strømme ut, slik at luft ikke kan strømme inn i posen. from the steam.ensures that air and steam can only flow out, so that air cannot flow into the bag.
Neste trinn i prosessen er at damptrykket avsten-ges og dampinnsprøytingsdysen trekkes ut av posen under bibehold . av de tverrvirkende strekkrefter over sonen 4. Idet dysen føres ut av posen vil poseveggene i tverrstrekksonen 4 komme sammen og fullstendig lukke posen uten tap av vakuum. The next step in the process is for the steam pressure to be shut off and the steam injection nozzle to be pulled out of the bag while retaining . of the cross-acting tensile forces over the zone 4. As the nozzle is guided out of the bag, the bag walls in the cross-stretch zone 4 will come together and completely close the bag without loss of vacuum.
Under bibehold av tverrstrekket i sonen 4 føres posen deretter til en varmeforseglingsstasjon hvor en varmeforsegling plaseres like over sonen 4 slik at der dannes en lufttom, forseglet pakning. While maintaining the cross section in zone 4, the bag is then taken to a heat sealing station where a heat seal is placed just above zone 4 so that an air-free, sealed package is formed.
I praksis ble poser fremstilt av et varmeforsegl-bart folielaminat (12 ^um polyester laminert med 9^um aluminium og 70^um modifisert høytetthet-polyetylen) benyttet på poser med di-mensjoner 170 mm x 200 mm. Strekk på 3 til 4 kg tvers over posen var tilstrekkelig til å forsegle posen, og dysen med divergerende In practice, bags made from a heat-sealable foil laminate (12 µm polyester laminated with 9 µm aluminum and 70 µm modified high density polyethylene) were used on bags with dimensions 170 mm x 200 mm. Stretch of 3 to 4 kg across the bag was sufficient to seal the bag, and the nozzle with divergent
form hadde en bredde som var omtrent en tredjedel av åpningen i posen, dvs. 60 mm. Dens utvendige dybe var 3 til 3,5 mm som ga en innvendig dybde på 1 til 1,5 mm. form had a width approximately one third of the opening in the bag, i.e. 60 mm. Its external depth was 3 to 3.5 mm giving an internal depth of 1 to 1.5 mm.
Figur 5 viser skjematisk tidsforløpet for de for-skjellige operasjoner. På denne figuren representerer funksjonen A, på en lineær tidsskala, den tid dysen er inne i posen (de skrå partier i hver ende angir innføring og uttrekking), funksjonen B representerer den tid dampspylingen foregår (i praksis omkring 1 til 1,5 sekunder), og funksjonen C representerer tiden for strekking av poseåpningen, idet denne påbegynnes omtrent 0,3 sekunder etter påbegynning av dampspylingen. Figure 5 schematically shows the time course for the various operations. In this figure, function A represents, on a linear time scale, the time the nozzle is inside the bag (the slanted parts at each end indicate insertion and withdrawal), function B represents the time the steam purge takes place (in practice around 1 to 1.5 seconds) , and the function C represents the time for stretching the bag opening, this starting approximately 0.3 seconds after the start of the steam flush.
