Method for processing and/or filling packaging

Abstract

Described and disclosed is a method for processing and / or filling packaging (2), in particular composite carton packaging, in a processing machine and / or filling machine (1). In order to reduce the quantity of equipment while maintaining a high throughput and / or to facilitate a more flexible operation, according to the invention: packaging blanks (5) in a take-up station (9) are transferred sequentially in cycles to mandrels (8) of a mandrel wheel (7) that revolves cyclically, said mandrels passing the take-up station (9); at regular intervals after the transfer, by means of the mandrels (8) passing the take-up station (9), of a specific number of packaging blanks (5) in the take-up station (9) to another specific number of mandrels (8) sequentially passing the take-up station (9), no further packaging blank (5) in the take-up station (9) is transferred; in at least one forming station (10,12,14), the packaging blanks (5) transferred in the take-up station (9) to the mandrel wheel (8)are processed in cycles on a mandrel (8) of the mandrel wheel (7); after passing the at least one forming station (10,12,14), packaging (2), which is open at one end, is transferred sequentially in cycles from the mandrel wheel (8), in a transfer station (15), to all the cells (16) of a conveying device (17) that pass the transfer station (15); and the packaging (2) that is open at one end and hasbeen transferred to the cells (16), is fed in the cells (16) of the conveying device (17) to at least one processing station (22,23,24,28) for processing and / or to at least one filling station (26) for filling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for processing and / or filling packages, in particular cardboard composite packages, in a processing machine and / or filling machine, wherein the packaging blanks are successively transferred cyclically in a receiving station to a periodically rotating, Pass over the spines of the ratchet at the receiving station. Background technique [0002] Various configurations of devices and methods are known for filling packages with products, in particular in food form, and / or for processing packages to be filled or filled packages. Here, the packaging is filled, for example, with preferably flowable food, and processed, for example, in the sterile or aseptic environment of the filling machine. Since the food should be kept for a long time after the filling of the package, it is best to fill it as sterile as possible. For this purpose, the filling machine has, for example, a sterilization or aseptic chamber, in which the packag...
