Embodiment Construction

[0042] As used herein, the terms roller and wheel are used interchangeably. Both can be rotated. In an embodiment, the roller may have an axial length that is at least as long as its diameter. In an embodiment, the wheel may have an axial length of from 1% to 50% of its diameter.

[0043] As used herein, the expression "nipping relationship" refers to a wheel and roller that are in direct contact with each other at a contact location, or when the roller or wheel is in contact with the same item in between (such as a film or film tube) or Indirect contact with each other while in direct contact with a group of items between which they are in contact, such that the item(s) move as the rollers or wheels rotate together when in nip relationship. The rotation of the rollers and wheels in nip relationship is used to transfer the item(s) between the rollers or wheels. Power can be provided to one or both of the rollers or wheels in rolling relationship.

Abstract

A cyclic packaging process, such as VFFS or HFFS, packages a product with a viscosity of >=100,000 centipoise without leaving substantial air pockets in the package, by utilizing a means (38) for restricting upstream flow of viscous product in the strand of tubing (24). The result is that packages of uniform weight of the viscous product can be made without substantial air pockets therein, and without having to use metal clips. An apparatus (10) for carrying out the process is disclosed.

Description

Background technique [0001] For decades, form-fill-and-seal machines have been used to package flowable products, including liquid, semi-liquid, and pasty products. Form-fill-and-seal equipment includes vertical form-fill-and-seal (VFFS) equipment and processes, and horizontal form-fill-and-seal equipment and processes. [0002] Form-fill-and-seal packaging uses flat, flexible film rolls instead of pre-formed bags or boxes. This saves tooling costs and allows the same machine to produce a wide variety of different pack sizes. The flow path of the web film and the product to be packaged move in substantially the same direction, i.e. horizontally in a horizontal form-fill-and-seal process, or vertically in a vertical form-fill-and-seal process straight down. In the respective process, the flat film is guided around a forming collar, after which the longitudinal edges of the flat film are sealed together with fin seals or lap seals, resulting in a longitudinally heat-sealed tu...
