Technical Field
The invention relates to a compacting station having at least one compacting device for compacting open-mouth bags filled with bulk material. The invention is particularly useful with the apparatus already disclosed in WO2016/046302A 1. In this known apparatus, the bags are, for example, filled with bulk material such as cement, high quality tile grout or other construction material. Square bags with high compaction were made.
Background
In WO2016/046302a1, the prior art already discloses a device and a method for filling open-mouth bags, in which device the filled open-mouth bags have a filling weight of between about 1 kg and 10 kg. With this known device, bulk material, such as cement or high-grade joint compound or other building material, is filled, in particular, into open bags, which are also referred to as bags or pouches. In the known apparatus, open-mouth bags are produced directly in the device upstream of the apparatus in the context of the filling process. For this purpose, for example, a piece of flat film is drawn onto a forming shoulder, where the flat film is welded together to form a tubular film. In the known device, the open-mouth bag to be filled is received in a receiving container and filled there. With the known device it is possible to fill open-box bags which are compacted during this operation. At the end of the process, the box-shaped open-mouth bags can be packed. The known device works satisfactorily.
However, if open-mouth bags filled with bulk material are manually or excessively stressed by multiple persons (or frequently touched by hand), the bags soften and lose their precise square shape.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device by means of which filled open-mouth bags can better retain their square shape.
This object is achieved by a compacting station having the features of claim 18 and by a method having the features of claim 15. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of this aspect of the invention can be taken from the summary and the description of the exemplary embodiments.
The compacting station according to the invention comprises at least one compacting device for compacting open-mouth bags filled with bulk material. The compacting device comprises a container with a tubular inner wall and a receiving space for receiving the filled open-mouth bag. In addition, a supporting unit is provided in the lifting device that can be moved up and down. The support unit can be adjusted in height relative to the container, in particular by means of a lifting device which can be moved in a lifting manner. In the lowered position of the lifting device, the support unit is supported from below, and in the raised position, it is adapted to receive filled open-mouth bags from adjacent conveying devices. The device also comprises a pressing rod which can be lowered from above and acts on the bulk material from above in a lowered position and allows the filled open-mouth bags to be accessed from the adjacent conveying device in a raised position.
The compacting station according to the invention has a number of advantages. An important advantage of the compacting station according to the invention is that the filled open-mouth bags are compacted inside the container. Thereby giving the open-mouth bag the shape of a container. For example, highly compacted, square, filled, open-mouth bags can be produced.
In particular in the lowered position of the lifting device, the bearing unit is supported or arranged on the support hooks of the container and is supported from below. There may also be other supports from below.
The container can preferably be raised and lowered periodically by means of a compacting gear with a container stroke. The periodic lifting of the container relative to the push rod ensures the tamping or tapping of bulk material filled into the open-mouth bag. The container travel is preferably less than one fifth, in particular less than one tenth, of the container length. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the container travel is less than 50 mm, in particular less than 20 mm and preferably less than 10 mm. In one particular design, a 6 mm stroke is used. The stroke can be selected as a function of the package size, in particular the package height, and the desired degree of compaction and bulk material compaction capability.
The pressing lever is preferably driven by a pneumatic drive. The pneumatic drive means may comprise at least one pneumatic cylinder. The compaction drive is preferably driven by an electric motor. The combination of a pneumatic drive with another, e.g. electric, drive has the advantage that the pneumatic drive compensates for pressure fluctuations in order to reliably prevent overloading.
Another significant advantage of the pneumatically operated pressing lever and the compaction gear is that the pressing lever is automatically followed as the degree of compaction increases (as determined by the air pressure). Even if the degree of compaction is increased, it is ensured that the vertical forces remain unchanged. In the alternative, it is also possible that the pressing rod remains stationary and the container will be pneumatically raised and tracked.
In an advantageous design, the dust extraction system is attached to the container. The upper container opening may, for example, be at least partially surrounded by the dust extraction opening. For example, one side of the container or several sides of the container can be provided with a dust removal gap, where the top region of the container is sucked in, so that most of the dust which may escape is reliably removed.
In a preferred design, the upper section of the container is designed as a cone or funnel or the like to facilitate the insertion of the open bag into the container.
In an advantageous embodiment, slides, swivel arms or the like are associated with the compacting device, or the compacting device comprises slides, by means of which the filled open-mouth bag can be pushed laterally, for example from the transport device onto the support unit or away from the support unit. This allows the transport device to discharge the open-mouth bag to be compacted and compact it at the compacting station, while the transport device itself continues to operate and, for example, to transport another open-mouth bag to another compacting device of the compacting station. Compacting multiple filled open-mouth bags in parallel and simultaneously can increase processing speed and eliminate the need for longer dwell times at the compacting station.
In all designs, the slide preferably includes a suction to hold the upper bag wall open. Preferably, the slide comprises suction machines at different height levels to keep open the upper bag walls of the open-mouth bags of different heights in a controlled manner.
In all designs, the support unit can be raised by means of a short stroke device. This allows the support unit to be positioned somewhat above the plane of the transport device as the compacted open-mouth bags are transferred from the support unit to the transport device, so that the compacted open-mouth bags can be easily pushed off onto the transport device. Instead, the support unit can be arranged slightly below the level of the conveyor in such a way that the slide transfers the open pocket to be compacted from the conveyor to the support unit. The short stroke device may for example perform a stroke of 5 mm or 10 mm or 20 mm or an intermediate value. In the case of a stroke of 10 mm, there will preferably be a height difference of about 5 mm when the slide transfers the open-mouth bags to be compacted from the conveyor to the support unit, and also a height difference of about 5 mm when the open-mouth bags are pushed back again from the support unit to the conveyor after compaction.
In all designs, the pressing bar is preferably equipped with a vacuum suction device.
In all designs, the compacting station preferably comprises at least two compacting devices or three compacting devices or more compacting devices for compacting open-mouth bags filled with bulk material. The plurality of compacting devices are preferably arranged one after the other and connected to one another by a conveying device. This allows to perform multiple compactions of the filled open-mouth bag. In particular, a plurality of compacting devices can also be operated, each compacting device simultaneously compacting one filled open-mouth bag, so that a correspondingly increased processing speed is achieved.
The method according to the invention is used for compacting a bulk material in an open bag filled with the bulk material. The filled open-mouth bag is placed on the support unit. The support unit, on which the open-filled bag is arranged, is lowered into the tubular receiving space of the container by a distance sufficient for the product level to be located in the tubular receiving space of the container. Then, the supporting unit of the container is abutted against the supporting hook or supported from below. Simultaneously or preferably before, a press rod is lowered from above into the open end of the open-mouth bag, which press rod acts on the bulk material from above, while the carrier unit (supported by the support hooks) is pressed from below against the bag bottom, which lifting device runs in particular downwards and is, for example, detached from the carrier unit when the carrier unit acts on the support hooks.
The method of the present invention allows for advantageous compaction of bulk material in open bags, and also allows for parallel action to enhance overall system performance or a higher degree of compaction of the overall system at a given total power.
