Transport devices and methods for film bags

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and to a device for transferring film bags that are advanced to a transfer station in a plurality of parallel rows, to a transport device that transports the film bags in a continuous row in an essentially transverse relation to the feed direction. The film bags to be transferred are preaccelerated in the direction of movement of the transport device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for the transfer of film bags, which are supplied by a supply device in parallel rows, transferred to a conveying device, which in turn transports the film bags in a continuous row; Apparatus for implementing the above method. Background technique [0002] Today, film bags used as packaging are usually handled automatically, eg filled, closed and further processed. Such a film bag is composed of two side films, the three sides of the two films are sealed to each other, and a bottom film is sealed between the fourth side of the two films, because when the bottom film is unfolded, the film bag A space is formed in which to fill the product. [0003] On such automatic process lines, often several film bags are processed simultaneously side by side. For example, a plurality of film bags are simultaneously opened on a filling device, conveyed by a conveying device while being filled, and then conveyed and simultaneously ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This results in a discontinuous operation, since the supplied quantities corresponding to the number of rows for parallel supply must always be conveyed simultaneously while the conveying device is at a standstill

Also, given the speeds now used in such handling systems, strong acceleration and deceleration forces develop during transport, especially in situations where film bags may be prone to damage
