Problems solved by technology

[0008] In addition to the disadvantages associated with the use of fixtures, in some existing packaging solutions the material is exposed to the environment
As a result, the packaged material may be damaged due to environmental forces, including exposure to moisture, odors, sunlight, dust, etc.

Embodiment 1

[0214] The advantages of the embodiment of the fiber-containing package of the present invention are exemplified with reference to a typical prior art bale called a control.

[0215] The baling equipment manufactured by Lummus, Savannah, Georgia was used to produce typical prior art bales as controls, and embodiments of the present invention.

[0216] Control Bundle

[0217] The bale box is filled with acetate tow to such a level that after compression, the bale size is approximately 94 centimeters ("cm") wide, 122 cm long, and 112 cm high. After removing the compressive force, the new bale size is approximately 99 cm wide, 127 cm long, and 123 cm high.

[0218] The bale was then wrapped with cardboard and plastic sheets along the sides of the bale, and 10 plastic straps were used to surround the bale. After being removed from the baling equipment, the bale is stored and the bale height increases by approximately 18 cm. The approximate bale size is 99 cm wide, 127 cm long, and 1...

Embodiment 2

[0226] This example illustrates an embodiment of the invention.

[0227] In the manner indicated in FIG. 5, the packaging of the present invention is formed by splicing parts of the Bx4Nylon / Valéron / ULLDPE film together to form two film segments of approximately 243 cm by 269 cm. Other laminates such as PET-SiOx / Valéron / ULLDPE are expected to have similar shapes.

[0228] An approximately 2.8 cm diameter hole is punched out in one of the film segments to provide an orifice for the vacuum outlet assembly, basically as described in Figures 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D. A heat sealer is used to seal the vacuum outlet assembly to the film segment.

[0229] Then put another film fragment into the packing case of a common packing device, such as described in other parts of this article.

[0230] The cellulose acetate tow fibers are fed into the baling box and placed on top of the film sheet to provide a finished compressed bale approximately 127 cm high.

[0231] Then the first film segment is pl...

Embodiment 3

[0242] In this prophetic embodiment, the top and bottom sheets are each formed of two pieces of packaging material, at least one piece has heat-sealable material on both sides, and the other piece may be on only one side or on both sides It has heat-sealable material. The top and bottom sheets are each formed from two smaller pieces of packaging material using a single lap seam as shown in FIG. 15. These relatively fragments can be, for example, a part of a Bx4Nylon / Valeron / ULLDPE film, which is joined together to form two film fragments of approximately 243 cm x 269 cm. Other laminate materials such as PET-SiOx / Valeron / ULLDPE are expected to operate in a similar manner.

[0243] A hole with a diameter of approximately 2.8 cm is provided in at least one of the two sheets as a small hole of the vacuum outlet assembly, such as the check valve shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D. Use a heat sealer to seal the bottom of the check valve to the inside of the packaging sheet so that air can be extra...

Abstract

The present invention relates to vacuum packaging and vacuum packaging techniques. Embodiments of the present invention include bales and packages comprising a sealed chamber having an internal volume at a pressure less than ambient atmospheric pressure. In various embodiments of the present invention, the internal volume of the package comprises a bulk material, a bulk fiber material, fiber or fibrous materials. Also disclosed are methods for packaging, packaging systems and apparatus for packaging .

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention provides novel bundling, packaging, packaging systems, packaging methods and equipment. Embodiments of the present invention are particularly suitable for use with bulk fiber materials, fibers or fibrous materials, including polymer fibers such as acetate fibers. The packaging of the present invention may have a shape and size that are advantageous for handling, transportation, storage, and / or use of fibers. Background technique [0002] Commodities, including agricultural products, fibers, granular products, etc., are usually packaged, transported, and stored in bulk, especially in the form of bales. Typically, bales include bulk materials surrounded by tie-down straps, ropes, wires, and the like. [0003] For example, fibers including synthetic and natural fibers can be used in a variety of applications and are ubiquitous in commerce. Many fibers are packaged and shipped in bulk in bales that include bulk fibers surrounded by tie ban...
