Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine and a method for producing packages of containers, in particular containers that contain pourable food products such as dairy products or the like.
  • liquid or pourable food products such as fruit juice, UHT milk, wine, tomato sauce, etc.
  • containers made of sterilized packaging material are sold.
  • a typical example of this type of container is the parallelepiped-shaped container known as Tetra Brik or Tetra Brik Aseptic (registered trademarks) , which is made by folding and sealing laminated strip packaging material .
  • these containers are housed in groups inside respective packages for delivery to sales outlets.
  • One kind of package - the so called gift-box package - comprises an outer box that defines an internal space and an inner box that receives a group of containers and is arranged inside the internal space of the outer box.
  • the package comprises a number of spacers interposed between the outer box and the inner box, so that the side walls of the inner box do not contact the side walls of the outer box.
  • the spacers are usually resilient elements made of plastic material.
  • One of the side walls of the outer box - intended to be the front wall - may have an opening through which the consumer can see the containers, the containers being placed at a certain distance from the front wall.
  • the containers may be placed in the inner box so as to form a plurality of layers, for example two layers superimposed on each other.
  • the gift-box packages are made by placing a group of containers on a first blank, in particular on a base panel element thereof. The blank is then wrapped around the group of containers to form the inner box. The filled inner box is then placed on a second blank and the latter is wrapped around the inner box so as to form the outer box. If two layers of containers are provided, an intermediate flat separating element (usually a carton sheet) is placed between the layers.
  • a drawback of the known procedures to form the packages referred to above is that folding the first blank around the containers to obtain the inner box and subsequently folding the second blank around the inner box to form the outer box may be quite time consuming and consequently limit productivity of the packaging line .
  • a machine for producing packages of containers, in particular containers of pourable food products comprising:
  • a first feeding device for feeding a plurality of containers
  • a second feeding device for feeding a succession of empty inner boxes
  • a filling station having a manipulator configured to pick up at least one group of containers fed by the first feeding device and to release the at least one group of containers in at least one respective inner box fed by the second feeding device,
  • each inner box filled with the containers is enclosed into a respective outer box having an open lid
  • a closing station located downstream of the packing station for closing the lid of each outer box to obtain a closed package.
  • packages having an inner box filled with a plurality of containers and an outer box receiving the inner box can be produced easily at relatively high production rates.
  • there is no need to fold a blank around the containers in order to obtain the inner box which can be a quite time consuming operation, because the containers are released into an already formed inner box.
  • the packing station is configured to enclose the filled inner box into an already formed outer box, the packing operations are further simplified, because there is no need to fold a respective blank around the inner box to obtain the outer box.
  • a method for producing packages of containers comprising the steps of:
  • each inner box with at least one group of containers of said plurality of containers
  • the method according to the second aspect of the invention allows obtaining the advantages already discussed with reference to the machine according to the first aspect of the invention.

  • FIG. 4A to 4F show a succession of steps carried out by a manipulator of the machine of Figures 1 and 2 ;
  • FIG. 5 shows a blank used for an inner box processed in the machine and method according to the invention
  • FIG. 6 and 7 show an inner box processed in the machine and method according to the invention and made by folding a blank such as the one of Figure 5;
  • FIGS 8A to 8F show a sequence of steps carried out when filling the inner box of Figures 6 and 7 with containers .
  • the package can be a so called "gift box” package, namely a box used for example for promotional or seasonal gifts or again for birthday or Christmas gifts.
  • the box is designed to contain a plurality of identical containers in a rectangular array arrangement and on two or more layers.
  • the containers are filled with pourable food products (for example dairy products such as milk or yogurt, juice or the like) .
  • the containers may be parallelepiped-shaped, known as Tetra Brik or Tetra Brik Aseptic (registered trademarks) , which are made by folding and sealing laminated strip packaging material.
  • Tetra Brik or Tetra Brik Aseptic registered trademarks
  • the containers can however also have different shapes, for example a substantially parallelepiped shape with non-sharp edges.
  • the machine comprises several stations which, according to a flowing direction of the products, are the following:
  • an inlet station 2 for receiving a continuous flow of containers 100 which, in the described embodiment, travel in an erected position;
  • a partition device 3 intended for gathering the containers 100 of the continuous flow in ordered groups a lateral pushing device 4 for expelling the containers 100 from the partition device 3 towards a pick-up area 5, the lateral pushing device 4 defining a first feeding device active on the containers 100;
  • a filling station 6 having a manipulator 7 configured to pick up at least one group of containers 100 fed by the first feeding device 4 and to release the at least one group of containers 100 in at least one respective empty inner box 200 fed by a second feeding device 8; - a packing station 9 configured to enclose each inner box 200 filled with the containers 100 into a respective outer box 300 having an open lid;
